Not so recently time ago, and from times to times, I have noticed there are some people reading and sometimes making this words worth something. I have also noticed I am more keen to burst several posts on this blog , depends mainly on the current mindset.
Control, was some DivX movie I holded on this hard-drive for a long time, never had any urge to check it out. Yesterday, I did.
First thing I thought at Sam Riley first shot was “I have seen this face somewhere”. Sam Riley, portrays the lead vocalist on the infamous Joy Division, since the very early days before joining the band through all the roller-coaster of emotions and final mental drain, eventually leading him to be found hanging at his own kitchen room. Her wife found him dead. He was only 23.
The turning point on the story happens when Ian tries to build some sanity back to his life and does that inspirational look, with a cigarette hanging from his mouth, to his old room, at his parents house. This is when it flashed: I had seen this Sam Riley image somewhere else.
Ian, worst dichotomy is a fucking cross-road of love. On the one-hand his young wife, whispering a life of plenitude and dreadfulness, begging for support and care; on the other, the charm of an independent and open-minded woman, working at the Belgian embassy and spreading optimistic vibes and ferhormones around. Ian played limbo for a while, going from side to side but eventually succumbed to his own polanskian fate.
There are very few things in life I like more to do than movies. More that drugs, beer and even ice-cream. If I recall correctly, for more than one summer at the tender age of 12 to 14, I have spent most of my days devouring movies. I perfectly remember to visit my local video-club and have to visit some other because there was nothing else worth for me rent there. No guys, there was no torrents back then.
So because of this, that and more, I recommend you to buy salty popcorns and delight yourself with this black-and-white photographic masterpiece.
One of my biggest passions is without any doubt cinema. Cinema push my soul into a new reality. Works better than beer or wine and brings you no hangover.
“My Blueberry Nights” brings us two of my favorite actors, once again, together: Jude Law and Natalie Portman. And evolves the viewer with Norah Jones melodic voice. Well, the only thing missing if offering a pie with it…
As said over and over again, Google’s genious is no bring tecnhology to masses and make it easily, promptly and free os costos for everybody. They’re business model moves around the number of users, as all advertising business models normally do.
Everybody nows about they’re new feature in Google Maps, the Street View, this enable business to show their brick and mortar stoe-ront to prospective customer and let you navigate you easily. But what if you played some games like monopoly or “Buscando Prostutitas con el Street View” (Searching for sluts with Street View)?
Google keeps surprising us. They’re next toy is Google Auto-Captions… it basically uses speech-to-text technology from Google Voice and brings it to the millions of YouTube videos. It can also be combined with Google Translator resulting in an array of subtitle languages. It is isn’t perfect but it’s better than nothing, for sure.
This brings me to mind the two distinct beliefs towards an universal language, some belive that with time, we will be able to understand each other using a dominant language, let’s say English or Spanish, or via some lingua franca, like English and Chines with some bits of Spanish and other languages, as we travel and mingle more with other cultures.
Others, like myself, believe there won’t be a need for that, machines will be able to translate from and to any targeted language. All emails written in English will be presented to me in Portuguese and I will be able to pick up a German customer phone call and hear only English if I am pleased.
I hope this new Google product brings more sense to this reality.
