 "He never seemed to eat but he was always chewing things, kind of nervously, his finger nails, plastic spoons"

Película de comedia recomendada para todos los públicos. Para mí es un clásico de los años 80 (que me encanta esa década) y creo que la escena del piano de juguete permanecerá en la historia del cine para siempre.

Tom Hanks interpreta (fabulosamente) a un chico que pidió el deseo de ser un hombre mayor y ¡se cumple! Y debe superar todas las barreras que se presentan continuamente a un hombre treintañero y soltero.

Todo un aprendizaje de impedir que se marchita nuestro niño/a interior. Recomendadísima, es muy tierna.

Terror at Red Wolf Inn (1972)

My rating: 3/10

A good chunk of the dialogue in this movie feels improvised, and not in a good way - feels like I'm watching the excruciatingly dull home movies of the cannibal murder family, not an actual movie.

The Characters of the movie "Treacle Jr" (2010) in a nutshell:

(y'all should watch the movie it's FR good!!)

Introverted, (possibly) Mentally ill & (possibly) neurodivergent sexy homeless man who's an architect (but he's too spaced out man....like a spaceman....but, like, he's mentally spaced out man......)

Extroverted, (possibly) Autistic lil Irish goofy goober with a lisp who's excited about everything & who loves drumming

Sexually and Physically Abusive towards her partner, and made sexual advances (+ assaulted) towards her partner's friend even he said no, doesn't understand what consent is, is a bitch tbh yeah

Comics this week?

Steelworks #1 - Solid first issue. Dorn makes some rookie mistakes as expected from a first time comic writer. Lot of talking, not much action, the scenes with Irons and Nat debating the impact of superheroics would have been better served if it had been the two of them verbally sparring with each other while physically beating up some bad guys. Good handle on the voices for Steel, Natasha, and Lana nonetheless, happy to see Pak's establishment of the Steel/Lana romance is finally acknowledged again. Ghost of Amertek coming back to haunt Irons is a good idea, as is Dorn establishing that Irons has his own ideas on what's best for Metropolis that aren't the same as Clark's. Didn't expect Dorn to be the first DC writer to use data pages post-Hickman, but I loved to see them! I can't find much info on if Dorn was a sci-fi fan before he was cast as Worf in Star Trek, but if so his use of data pages would make a lot of sense.

Batman #136 - Least the Multiverse bullshit is over, but now we've gone from rehashing Morrison to rehashing Snyder's Death of the Family. If that scene between Bruce and Selina is any indication, this Gotham War event will be the final nail in the coffin for the romance, at least for a good while. Bummed but unsurprised by that. At this point I'm only reading for the Zur plotline, the Batfamily and Catwoman plots aren't interesting me.

Shazam #2 - Didn't think that when Waid said we'd see the extended family relatively soon that he meant the second issue, but it was nice to see them all the same.

Flash #800 - Picked this up and overall I enjoyed it. Adams and Waid were the best, fun stories that celebrated Wally and Bart. Williamson was pretty good too, Barry finally gets to best the deadbeat dad accusations when it comes to the Tornado Twins. Johns' story was pretty basic, mostly just a recap of who Hunter is, but I liked how he took Williamson's retcon and used it to get Zoom back to being a villain in a way that makes sense. With Zoom back in play I wonder if there are plans to use him in Spurrier's run. Speaking of which, Spurrier's story was the weakest. I don't mind the drama with Linda - Adams made everything drama free and the sales were soft, so by all means introduce some tension there - and I liked the premise of Wally fighting Lovecraftian monsters. But this feels like it would be a better fit for Barry. I'll check out the first issue all the same.

Joker #9 - Hilarious that this book finally starts moving on the Jokers plot, just in time for a two month break for Knight Terrors. I don't know if I'll bother to pick it up again in two months, Rosenberg's decompression has become too much for me. Genuinely funny back-ups and one or two good jokes in the main book can't justify the price tag, or the snail's pace storytelling.

Immortal X-Men #12 - More is done with Colossus' mole status in one issue here than the entire X-Force run.

X-Men #23 - I regret giving Duggan a stay of execution. Why does Stasis keep coming across as a loser? Gets taken out with ease in Sins of Sinister, gets humiliated by Righteous here. Since Hickman left, Orchis has come across as a joke that the X-Men inexplicably can't crush instead of a legit threat. Not a great approach as we're right on the cusp of Orchis making their big move.

Loki #1 - Picked this up solely because Watters was writing, and he did not disappoint. Great story, reminiscent of Gillen and Ewing Loki of course, but also of Watters own Lucifer series.

Fantastic Four #8 - Continues to be great, glad the first two parter stars Sue and Alice.

Fancast for the possible “Hawkeye” streaming show (main cast only)

1) Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton / Hawkeye

2) Katherine Langford as Kate Bishop / Hawkeye II (in keeping with the rumor mill)

3) Aidan Gillen as Barney Barton / Trickshot II (main villain)

4) Adrianne Palicki as Bobbi Morse / Mockingbird (ex-girlfriend, now Clint and Kate’s employer, in reference to the comics) 

5) Linda Cardellini as Laura Barton 

6) Jimmy Smits as Buck Chisholm (the original Trickshot and Clint’s mentor / father figure)

7) Gaspard Ulliel as Jacques Duquesne / Swordsman (Clint’s former rival-turned-reluctant ally) 

8) Devery Jacobs as Maya Lopez / Echo / Ronin (another one of Clint’s allies, who adopts the “Ronin” alias after Clint used it in Infinity War) 

9) Andy Samberg as an original character who befriends both Clint and Kate. He acts as their “guy in chair” / comic relief sidekick who is killed by Barney near the end of the season. In his will, he leaves his dog, Lucky, to Clint and Kate. Like Lucky, he enjoyed eating pizza, which becomes a recurring joke in the series.

I don't know what I love most about this:

Bonnie and Isaiah chatting with a maid,

Lizzie and Tommy being happy,

Aberama and Polly being happy,

Or Linda chatting with Johnny Dogs

I had been meaning to do this for a bit, and then Princess Weekes put out an excellent video on the subject 😅. Still always good to spread the word about La Flor y La Muerte ("Death and the Flower" *), trying to get someone to officially translate it so I can buy this book for all my non-Spanish speaking friends!

Are there any other versions I have overlooked?

Works featured:

The Wicked and The Divine by Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie (Image Comics)

Lore Olympus by Rachel Smythe (Webtoon)

Punderworld by Linda Sejic (Webtoon)

La Flor Y La Muerte by Iria G. Parente and Selene M. Pascual (Nocturna Ediciones)

* I am choosing to translate the title as "Death and the Flower" cos "the flower and ((the)) death" sounds weird in english and then they could keep a similar pattern for the next books ("Sun and the Lie", "Fury and the Labyrinth")...yeah next books...cos a girl can dream...
