What’s Your Stereotype?

You Are a Hippie

You may not have long hair or a closet full of tie-dye, but you definitely dance to the beat of your own drum. (And you may even play the drum as well.) You are a true free spirit. You don’t let yourself be weighed down by rules and expectations.You are creative, philosophical, and caring. You want everyone to have a better life. For you, the worst thing in the world is being stuck in some rat race. You rather be broke than have to wear a suit every day. What’s Your Stereotype?

Damn hippies!

Die You Zombie Bastards!

Ce film vedeti de Halloween? Nu v-ati hotarat? Am eu cateva sugestii: ce parere aveti de Die You Zombie Bastards!? E un super film din 2005, notat pe imdb cu 4.8 si cu review-uri care spun cam asa: I feel like somebody took a handful of $hit and threw it at a movie screen!

Filmul l-am descoperit pe virginmedia.com, intr-un top al weirdest movie titles ever (part I & part II)! Foarte interesante si potrivite pentru o noapte de groaza mi se par si urmatoarele:

Die You Zombie Bastards! (2005)

Straight and to the point, this one. There are zombies. They die, courtesy of a serial killer trying to rescue his wife in peril. You’ll be shocked to learn it’s a comedy.

Space Zombie Bingo (1993)

This one owes its title to a far-fletched plot about undead alien invaders. As far as we know nobody actually goes to the bingo. And yes, those are three exclamation marks.

Killer Klowns From Outer Space (1988)

Rule number one: if you’re going to have a bad movie title, at least try and have the courtesy to spell it properly. Then again, if your movie is about alien clowns, does it actually matter?

Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers (1988)

Ah, don’t you just love subtle movie titles? If you do, then you’re probably better off avoiding this particular B-movie – the title pretty much reveals the plot too.

Cannibal Women In The Avocado Jungle Of death (1989)

Not sure what an avocado jungle is exactly but all is explained in this elaborately-named 1989 effort. It’s actually a battle of the sexes action comedy. Complete with man-munching women.

Killer Condom: The Rubber That Rubs You Out (1997)

You can guess what you’re getting with this one – it’s a horror film about murderous condoms that go round ‘castrating’ their victims in a sleazy hotel. What happened to safe sex?

The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living And Becam Mixed Up Zombies!!? (1964)

Possibly a contender for the most far-fetched film title of all time, although the memorable moniker is probably the best thing about this shambling sixties zombie fare.

Killer Tomatoes Eat France! (1991)

Ah, you can’t go wrong with a mutant vegetable movie. This franchise gained notoriety thanks to a sequel which featured one George Clooney in his pre-political, mullet-sporting years.

Si preferatele mele:

Polutrygeist: Night Of The Cicken Dead (2006)

You can always count on Troma to come up with weird and wonderful titles and here’s another one, for their 2006 mutant killer chicken movie. Anyone else hungry? Just us, then…

Kids Go To The Wood… Kids Get Dead (2009)

Innovative B-movie throwback to horror classics of old (complete with VHS tracking) about your typical teens in peril. Will they survive? Well… no, obviously not. Didn’t you see the title?

In ceea ce priveste posterele, nu-i asa ca sunt foarte tari?:

Rabid grannies (1988) – mai ales tag-line-ul

Possibly the oddest thing ever to come out of the Belgian film industry (Jean-Claude Van Damme excepted), this should appeal to you if spending time with demon old ladies is your idea of fun.

The Gingerdead Man 2: Passion Of The Crust (2008)

Not so much a longed-for sequel as an excuse for an awful pun. Really it’s just an excuse for a bunch of over-the-top gory mayhem featuring a large mutant biscuit. You have been warned.

 P.S.1 Acest articol este un pamflet, NU va recomand filmele de mai sus. Daca vreti sa vedeti vreunul, o faceti pe proprie raspundere.

P.S.2 Ce va recomand in schimb este aceasta melodie: Mugison – Salt (Doar ascultati-l, fara sa priviti video, nu are nicio legatura si impactul este mai puternic). Mie imi place, dar unora! li se pare creepy.

[moment]

     

Atentie, urmeaza un scurt moment de narcisism & feeling really proud of myself: vedeti bannerul din dreapta, putin mai jos? 

 

 

Eu singurica l-am facut! Bannerul, inserarea imaginii in side bar si link-ul catre blogul nostru de calatorii – si asta fara sa am vreo cunostinta de html.

I’m a Genius! Now I can even teach others!

Moment incheiat. Ma scuzati.

Let it be!

                

You are “Let It Be”

You are philosophical, balanced, and wise. You try not to worry about things you can’t change.You can let go and find peace in troubling times. You believe in controlling what’s on the inside.               You know that you can’t create or predict the future. You just have to let it unfold.The answer will eventually come to you. All you have to do is wait.                   What Beatles Song Are You?

Oh no, not that again!

        

Pe AVQ&A s-a deschis zilele trecute o discutie despre cliseele atat de des intalnite in filme. Cum vara asta block-busterele mult-trambitate au cam avut de suferit la capitolul originalitate, m-am amuzat sa citesc o lista luuunga cu ce clisee am dori atat de mult sa dispara. Transcriu mai jos doar cateva dintre ele si le las in engleza, ca suna prea fain.

Intrebarea de la care s-a pornit a fost: If you could permanently wipe one cliché—character, plot, anything—from the future of culture, what would it be?

Iar raspunsurile la care am zambit aprobator au fost:

• The loyal, loving wife and mother who suddenly turns into a screaming shrew midway through the film, for the express purpose of trying to get her husband to drop the court case or stop chasing the criminal or stop investigating the evil corporate types or whatever. Some variation on the phrase “You’re tearing this family apart!” is often used.
•  A family man whose wife and possibly children get killed, turning him into a stripped-down vengeance machine who has to hunt down and brutalize all the bad guys remotely responsible.
• Making up for decades of shitty parenting with one grandiose, pointless gesture.
• The family movie dilemma that pits Dad’s Big Meeting against his neglected kid’s Big School Concert/Play/Soccer Game/whatever. It requires audiences to feel that yes, it’s horribly unjust that someone would choose to preserve their career rather than jeopardizing it every time their kid is about to have a Kodak moment.
• Character flipping vacantly through TV channels as shorthand for the emptiness and superficiality of consumerism and Western society. It’s an incredibly lazy, overly familiar way of establishing a character’s soul-sickness and disengagement from himself, nature, and the world around him. If characters are flipping glassy-eyed through increasingly ridiculous television shows and commercials in the film’s first 15 minutes, odds are good they’ll undergo a spiritual epiphany or two by the times the credits roll.
• Judging by far too many movies, the small town is a bastion of serenity, an oasis away from the tormented, soul-crushing despair of your typical urban hellscape.
• The college professor as stand-up comedian. If the professor is an actual protagonist in the story – someone we’re supposed to like – their lectures consist of them dropping pearls of wisdom, then undercutting those pearls with a quick joke, which invariably makes the whole class laugh knowingly.
• “He wanted to leave the criminal world behind and go straight… after one last job.” Screw that. It’s just a weak, overused way of gaining audience sympathy for the main character in a heist film, as if the crime the thief is going to commit is okay, since he doesn’t really mean it.
• Children being avatars for insight into the human condition? If you’ve ever seen a movie where Haley Joel Osment or Dakota Fanning soulfully implored the adults around them to be better people, you know exactly what I’m talking about. :)

Ultimele doua sunt preferatele mele :)

Vunk – La orice ora

Doar tu poti sa ma termini (la orice ora)
Tu ma scoti din radacini (la orice ora)
Faci tu ce faci, si tot mai tare imi placi
(la orice ora)

Eu pot sa am o lume intreaga la picioarele mele,
Dar in fata ta, stau in genunchi si promit inele
Ucigator, zambetul tau e doar ambasador
Locul preferat sa calatoresc e doar in ochii tai.

Doar tu poti sa ma termini (la orice ora)
Tu ma scoti din radacini (la orice ora)
Faci tu ce faci, si tot imi placi
Doar tu poti sa ma termini (la orice ora)
Tu ma scoti din radacini (la orice ora)
Faci tu ce faci, si tot mai tare imi placi
(la orice ora)

Cum te-am gasit tocmai pe tine din toate cele feminine
Sa vii asa, pe nepregatite-n viata mea
(A ha, a ha)

Doar tu poti (aha, aha, la orice ora)
Tu ma scoti (aha, aha, la orice ora)
La orice ora, la orice ora
Doar tu poti sa ma termini (la orice ora)
Tu ma scoti din radacini (la orice ora)
Faci tu ce faci, si tot mai tare imi placi
(la orice ora, la orice ora)
Faci tu ce faci, si tot mai tare imi placi
La orice ora

Videoclipul aici. Call me crazy, dar chiar imi place

My personality

                         

Whatever that means

Hang-in-there kitty

      

O sa treaca si saptamana asta, o sa treaca, o sa treaca.
I just have to hang in there.
I’m a hang-in-there kitty

Info: Posterele astea cu sarmanele pisicute au aparut prin anii ‘70 ca parte a unei campanii motivationale, binenteles in USA.

Update: O parodie simpatica a acestui poster au facut-o The Simpsons in episodul “The Twisted World of Marge Simpson” cand Marge observa data copyright-ului si spune: “…determined or not, that cat must be long dead. That’s kind of a downer.”

Tricouri pentru toata lumea

           

             

Imi plac tricourile cu mesaj. Si chiar am multe idei si as putea gasi cate un mesaj potrivit pentru fiecare:

Pentru visatoare:

I’m the queen of wishful thinking
It’s magic , silly!
Music gets the best of me, but guess who gets the rest of me?

Pentru movie fans:

You can’t handle the truth
Everything happens for a reason
Goosfraba

Pentru rebele:

Life’s a bitch and then you die
Live together die alone
Don’t let the system get you down

Pentru pacifiste:

Make love not war

Pentru increzute:

I’m a genius!
Who needs money when you got good looks?

Pentru glumete:

Always talk to strangers, they have the best candy
With great power comes great responability
I love you because i’m high

Pentru deprimate:

i am jack’s wasted life
no face no name no number

 Pentru lenese:

I find nothing interesting before 1PM

If you don’t feel like it
you don’t have to do it
just leave a message on the phone
and tell them to screw it

Pentru mine:

Un tricou de la AIKO, daca fetele de la HotCity vor sa imi dea un premiu. Concursul este aici.

Update: Am castigat!

Ce-as fi daca as fi…

UPDATE

Am descoperit un joculet asemanator facut in urma cu ceva timp, mai bine de 3 ani. Ia sa comparam raspunsurile Spuneam atunci:

 Daca as fiu o luna, as fi… Septembrie, toamna aurie cu rabufniri de vara târzie.
Daca as fi o zi a saptamanii, as fi… Sambata, în plin week-end, singura zi fara griji.
Daca as fiu un moment al zilei, as fi… inserarea, amestec de culori si simtiri.
Daca as fi o planeta, as fi… Venus
Daca as fi un animal, as fi… un fluturas
Daca as fi un lichid, as fi… apa marii
Daca as fi un instrument muzical, as fi… o ghitara
Daca as fi un sentiment, as fi… nostalgia
Daca as fi un element, as fi… focul
Daca as fi o melodie… hmm… chiar nu pot alege un singur cântec… poate “I miss you” – Darren Hayes… poate “Luz, amor y vida” – Santana… poate “Creep” – Radiohead…
Daca as fi un fel de mâncare, as fi… o tarta de fructe
Daca as fi o parte a corpului, as fi… ochi
Daca as fi un parfum, as fi… mirosul iasomiei
Daca as fi un obiect, as fi… o carte
Daca as fi un desen animat as fi… Mica sirena
Daca as fi o figura geometrica, as fi… un triunghi (ce întrebari sunt astea? )
Daca as fi un numar, as fi… sapte
Daca as fi o tara, as fi… Espana!
Daca as fi o masina, as fi… Corvette
Daca as fi o culoare, as fi… Liliachiu
Daca as fi un oras, as fi… Venetia
Daca as fi o limba, as fi… Espanol!

              

Concluzii:

1. Unele lucruri nu se schimba niciodata.
2. Altele da.
3. Dar nu lucruri ‘fundamentale’ cum ar fi: coloarea sau numarul preferat
4. Inainte scriam chitara cu ‘ghi’ (doar pentru ca pe atunci gandeam in spaniola).
5. As vrea sa fiu un triunghi, dar nu stiu de ce.
