23 Republican Senators & 124 Congressmen signed an amicus brief to the Supreme Court asking for a 50 state ban on mifepristone, a drug safer than tylenol that is standard treatment for abortion & miscarriages, "due to safety concerns". The brief DARES to argue that banning the life saving drug would save women from 'reproductive control'.

Huesera: The Bone Woman directed by Michelle Garza Cervera

2022 ‧ Drama/Horror ‧ 1h 33m

A story about a pregnant women with a hidden past. Followed by her desire for her real, queer love, this lady trying to be someone she's not by having a nuclear family type of situation with a dude, that a. does not believe in ghosts and demons ( always believe your partner) and b. looks like a penguin. During her pregnancy she starts seeing creepy demon like figures, her partner won't do sex with her, she starts seeing her ex gf again from her rebellious past. Occupied between this hot love affaire and being pegeant ( pregananante) she delivers le baby and deals with Postpartum depression, that her penguin man struggles to deal with. Leaving Valeria (her Name) alone once, she is possesed and puts le baby in the fridge???!!! All ends up her seeing witches and in a very beautifully, archaic ritual with witches she gets free from the demon, that possessed her. Seems like she created that demon out of her pain choosing the wrong decisions. A very strong picture and not horror at all I would say about neglect, living in the closet, fear of abandonement, and expectations queer folks face within heteronormative, cultural settings. Cerveras cinematographer Nur Rubio Sherwell was on point with creating mystical and silent atmospheres, and and Natalia Soliáns Performance as Valeria was giving Shelley Duval, Isabelle Adjani (Possession 1981) and a lil bit of Natalie Portmann in Black Swan. I really believe the main character Valeria being in despairand fear.

All in all, a taboo topic, especially when it comes to post baby depression and queers that chose to go back to heteronormative lifestyles for whatever reason, family expectations, family conflicts. I think it's worth seeing. Excited for Cerveras future films, since shes a quite young filmmaker. I think there is room for development within this very traditional filmmaking, that I encountered watching this film. I loved the sensitivity in the scenes, the light, the colors, the way her leading characters where portrayed. Everything within the film felt like it's out of Valerias perspective, we encounter the others with the fear within her. Hard to do with camera. One scene I particulary remember is her being felt from distance taking care of the baby bed in the children room while her penguin man is holding the baby and asking Valeria if he should stay. The distance between Valeria and the baby, we as an audience experience trough the distance of the camera within the room. We see the scene outside of the room filmed in distance, we feel the distance. A strong visual gesture at this point.

I'm grateful for any opinions on this film in the comments below.

CANCIONES

Un mantillo de raíces mojadas sobre un terreno que tiende al cabo de la vista su balsa de planchas parejas que ata el horizonte es ahí que crece lejos de avenidas fatales y casuales encuentros la hierba ardiente de las canciones

Cuando liguemos nuestras voces despedidas del golfo de gargantas donde se apila la bruma con aquéllas que proyectan sus cadencias espirales columnas de tuertas estrías por sobre el llano aherrojado la hélice del canto remontará muy alto en el aire y su bordoneo será más tenue que el del lúpulo los días que sopla viento y estremece las leves cañas a las que se enlazan los tallos como se enlaza a un corazón una trenza de cabellos rubios

Luego se excavará una escalera y su broca secreta se hundirá en la tierra guiándonos al fondo de esta caverna de extrañas bóvedas donde las cenizas de aquéllas que fueron lavas risueñas desechan sus sederías ardientes sus escorias de terciopelo para cobrar la sutileza de los espectros

Os traicionará entonces el cielo a los que no amáis más que la luz y lejos de las sólitas riberas os perderéis en el océano de los males

tal es la canción de los cráteres.

CHANSONS

Un terreau de racines mouillées sur un sol étendant jusqu'au bout des regards son radeau fait de planches uniformes liées par l'horizon c'est là que pousse loin des avenues fatales et des recontres de hasard l'herbe brûlante des chansons

Quand nous mêlerons nos voix jetées hors du gouffre des gorges où s'entasse le brouillard à celles qui projettent leurs cadences spirales colonnes à rainures torses au-dessus de la plaine enchaînée l'hélice des chants montera très haut en l'air et son bourdonnement sera plus doux que celui du houblon les jours où le vent souffle et fait trembler les perches légères auxquelles les tiges s'enlacent comme à un cour s'enlace une tresse de cheveux blonds

Puis un escalier se creusera et sa vrille secrète s'enfoncera dans la terre nous conduisant au fond de cette caverne aux voûtes étranges où les cendres de celles qui furent des laves très rieuses abandonnent leurs soieries embrasées leurs scories de velours pour acquérir la ténuité des spectres

Alors le ciel vous trahira vous qui n'aimez que la lumière et loin des rives coutumières vous vous perdrez dans l'océan des maux

telle est la chanson des cratères

HUESERA

Llega a salas cinematográficas este 23 de febrero

Opera prima de la Directora Michelle Garza Cervera que cuenta con las actuaciones estelares de Natalia Solián, Alfonso Dosal, Mayra Batalla, Mercedes Hernández, Martha Claudia Moreno, Sonia Couoh y Aida López.

Ganadora de los premios Nora Ephron y Best New Narrative director en el prestigiado festival de Tribeca así como los premios Blood Window y Citizen Kane en el festival más importante de cine de género, Sitges. Fue también acreedora del premio del público en el Festival Internacional de Cine de Morelia, entre otros

Estreno en salas el próximo 23 de febrero bajo el sello de Cinépolis Distribución.

El género de terror mexicano gana cada vez más terreno en la cartelera, prueba de ello es la llegada de Huesera a salas a nivel nacional el próximo jueves 23 de febrero, bajo el sello de Cinépolis Distribución. Ópera prima de la joven directora mexicana Michelle Garza Cervera producida por Paulina Villavicencio y Edher Campos. La película explora una entidad llamada La Huesera, una materialización sobre los miedos que no nos atrevemos a enfrentar y que nos atormentará hasta rompernos. Huesera marca el debut protagónico de Natalia Solián, al lado de Alfonso Dosal y Mayra Batalla. Este largometraje de 97 minutos de duración cuenta la historia de Valeria, una joven que al enterarse que está embarazada, es víctima de una entidad siniestra que pondrá en peligro su vida y, después de dar a luz, la de su bebé. Para salvarse, tendrá que adentrarse en su pasado punk y en un mundo de brujas urbanas que la guiarán para enfrentar a La Huesera. Dirigida y co-escrita por Michelle Garza Cervera, egresada del Centro de Capacitación Cinematográfica, co- escrita con Abia Castillo, con la Dirección de fotografía de Nur Rubio Sherwell y  coreografía de Diego Vega, la película es un abrumador replanteamiento de la experiencia “idilica” de la maternidad, convirtiéndola de manera abrupta a una vivencia angustiante con tintes sobrenaturales. Un escalofriante relato de entes sobrenaturales, seres arácnidos, brujas y una fuerte carga de horror psicológico. El filme de terror que en el 2022 ha sido galardonada con más de una treintena de premios y menciones en festivales internacionales como Tribeca, Sitges, Torino, Morelia, Mórbido y Rojo Sangre, entre otros. Huesera, cuenta con un elenco integrado por Natalia Solián (Somos), Alfonso Dosal (Narcos: México), Mayra Batalla (Noche de fuego), Mercedes Hernández (Sin señas particulares),  Martha Claudia Moreno (Distancias cortas), Sonia Couoh (Nudo Mixteco), Aida López (Belzebuth), y Anahí Allué (El juego de las llaves).

2023 / 15

Aperçu of the Week:

"The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because of his handle was made of wood he was one of them."

(Turkish proverb)

Bad News of the Week:

The European Union is actually well positioned in terms of foreign policy. Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Council President Charles Michel are internationally recognized and have long been involved in the G7, for example. And Josep Borrell, formerly a Spanish minister and President of the European Parliament, as "High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy," is also an internationally recognized personality, the EU foreign minister, so to speak.

Nevertheless, each nation state likes to cook its own soup, a classic political power game. By this I don't even mean guys like Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who regularly has to make it clear who is the master of the house by refusing to agree on common terms (not to say blackmailing). No, I mean, at least this week, French President Emmanuel Macron. He has been dreaming of being the "leading European" since the departure of Angela Merkel. Or as it is called in Washington DC, "the one to call when you want to talk to Europe."

All right, Macron is undoubtedly a committed European. And France, as the EU's second-largest member state, is a central power on the continent. With that comes the responsibility to appear wise, balanced and, above all, coordinated in awareness of one's own position. And that is precisely what Macron is not doing. The most recent example was his visit to Xi Jinping at Easter. Where he preferred to make his own mark and put France's economic interests first. As French head of state, he is allowed to do that, no question. But not under the European flag.

People on the old continent rubbed their eyes in amazement at his announcement that Europe should act more independently in the conflict with China over Taiwan. Explicitly delineated to the USA. If that would not happen, Europe would be in danger of becoming a vassal between the United States and China, even though it could be a third pole. "The worst thing would be to think that we Europeans should be fellow travelers on this issue and adapt to the American rhythm and a Chinese overreaction." Excuse me?

Criticism came from all sides. Manfred Weber, chairman of the conservative EPP as the largest group in the EU Parliament, for example, said that the EU states were making themselves untrustworthy "if on the one hand you demand sovereignty for Europe and then conclude every economic deal you can with China. (...) The Chinese leadership will not respect the Europeans like that." Or U.S. Senator Marco Rubio: If Europe does not side with China or the U.S. on the Taiwan issue, then perhaps the U.S. should not side with either in the Ukraine conflict. The unanimous opinion: a foreign policy disaster for Europe.

German Foreign Minister Annlena Baerbock showed in Beijing yesterday that there is another way. She demanded not only no Chinese arms deliveries to Russia, but also no so-called dual-use goods such as IT or chemicals that could be used militarily. She called for de-escalation on the Taiwan issue. She requested fair economic conditions. She denounced eroding human rights and discrimination. In short, she showed more balls than Macron. And she never forgot her role as a German politician. Not once did she presume to speak for Europe. Good girl.

Good News of the Week:

Germany's last nuclear power plants will be shut down today. Forever, please. Because that was the plan of the German government, which not coincidentally includes the Greens. But the wailing is loud: Is our energy supply really secure? Aren't nuclear power plants cleaner than coal-fired power plants? What can be bad about a form of energy on which neighbor Poland (announced just this week) is betting its future? Why shut down safe nuclear power plants here, when next door in the Czech Republic, decrepit Soviet-era plants are crumbling away? And isn't this just a symbolic debate by the Greens?

No. And once again, in all clarity: No! Nuclear energy is and remains Pandora's box of energy sources. Three-Mile-Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima are already forgotten? If the technology of a photovoltaic system, a wind turbine or - yes, for gods sake - a coal-fired power plant fails, you simply shut it down. That's it. This is not possible with a nuclear reactor. Because the nuclear isotopes don't give a shit if mankind doesn't want them anymore. They just keep on reacting. Until eternity. That is their nature.

Just to remind you: the half-life of uranium 235, the isotope most commonly used in fuel rods, is 703,800,000 years. And it takes ten half-lives (yeah, that means over 7 billion years) before it is no longer highly harmful to humans. So the stuff is still reacting after a period of time before mankind even existed - because the prehistoric man Homo habilis emerged just a comparatively paltry 2 million years ago in East Africa. And still there is no secure final disposal for the nuclear waste. Not because the relevant authorities would not make an effort. But simply because the inconceivably long time in which the waste could enter the groundwater, for example, is beyond the imagination of material science and geology. By far.

So: any nation, any country, any government that decides not to add an additional risk to the one that already exists should be commended. Period. So, at this point, also a "Thank you, well done!". And, dear Mr. Macron, if you are already looking for your place in the history books: don't bet on a special role in Taiwan policy (see above), rather put an end to the madness of your country's energy policy. Unbelievable: sometimes even Germany is suitable as a role model for France. And I don't even have to put an ironic emoji behind this statement - at least in this case....

Personal happy moment of the week:

For over 30 years, I have hardly changed physically. Okay, the connective tissue is weakening and I have already shrunk by 4 cm. The only difference that really stands out, besides less and grayer hair, is my belly. Of which I thought it knew only one development: bigger and thicker. Last Wednesday I had to get out of the house early and wanted to let my wife sleep in. So I put my clothes out the night before. And then realized the next day that my pants were too baggy for me. And had to keep pulling them up all day to the amusement of my colleagues. And still thought that was pretty good. Because after all, that means nothing other than that my belly has been more fatty before.

I couldn't care less...

...about the leakage of top-secret US documents. How can a 21-year-old National Guardsman, who is barely old enough to buy a can of bad beer, already have access to such explosive information? This is simply a flaw in the system.

As I write this...

...I'm still full to bursting from a brunch with friends. The second time this week after Easter Monday. This could directly become my favorite meal. Especially if my wife makes a quiche for it. It just tastes good every time.

Post Scriptum

In 1938, farmer Earl Silas Tupper had a brilliant idea when he learned about polyethylene plastic at the DuPont chemical company: at a time when refrigerators were not yet a standard in every kitchen, food would keep longer in an airtight plastic bowl. Tupperware was born, the rest is history. Tupper parties have already taken place at my house, too, and certainly three dozen pieces are to be found in various cupboards and drawers for years - and in the refrigerator, of course.

Now Tupperware Brands Corporation is threatened with insolvency as sales and stock have plummeted. Since this can hardly be due to the product, especially in times when disposable packaging is being abolished, it must be the marketing and distribution. Because until 2018, at least in Germany, the products were only available at these legendary Tupperware parties. Now there is an online store, but still no sales in stationary retail. Allegedly, "promising talks" are currently taking place, one reads. I hope this happens quickly enough. I would really miss this brand.

Cine: Harry + Max (2004)

En apariencia, pareciera que nos encontramos con una película de camaradería fraternal, amable y divertida, pero una niebla de pantanosa oscuridad se cierne sobre los personajes protagonistas. No es para menos, pues el tema central es perturbador y polémico, aún bajo la coraza de un filme ameno.

Harry (Bryce Johnson) y Max (Cole Williams) son hermanos que se llevan casi siete años de distancia etaria (23 y 16 años respectivamente). El mayor ha sido una estrella pop que ha recorrido mucho camino con su banda, siempre bajo la severa mirada de su madre (Michelle Phillips), pero sabe que el ocaso está cada vez más cerca. Su hermano menor, por su parte, es un querubín rubio que, a pesar de que su sueño pasa por el espacio y los cohetes, se ve obligado a perseguir una carrera musical solista.

Ambos tienen una vida romántica complicada con la que intentan lidiar y esclarecer, más allá de la presión materna: Harry mantiene un romance inestable con Nikki (Rain Phoenix, hermana mayor de River y Joaquin) mientras que Max ha tenido una problemática relación con Josiah (Tom Gilroy), un hombre que le dobla en edad. Sin embargo (y aquí viene lo complejo de la historia), una jornada de campamento reaviva lo que comparten, que se asemeja más a una pasión que a un juego inocente.

Christopher Münch se mete en el mundo de los ídolos adolescentes, basándose vagamente en las figuras de Nick y Aaron Carter, según el sitio imdb.com. Las circunstancas de la fama global, los fans, las giras, las revistas teen, la presión de la imagen y el asfixiante accionar de los padres/representantes son algunos de los puntos en cuestión, pero todo palidece frente a tópico más delicado de las relaciones incestuosas entre hermanos.

[gauchitanotangila]

Una noche, Michelle organizó una cena. La idea era que fuera algo periódico, porque era una excusa para que el staff interactuara en un ámbito no laboral. También aprovechó que estábamos todos para contarnos que, con su marido, habían decidido tomarse un mes para irse de vacaciones. Ya nos había visto trabajar, sabía que arrancaba la temporada baja, y estaba lista para dejarnos bajo supervisión de los recepcionistas, Dan y Brodie.

Dan tenía unos cincuenta años. Estaba pelado, usaba anteojos, hablaba mucho y fuerte, y se notaba que amaba su trabajo. Había llegado a Cathedrals hacía tres años, y era el puto amo. Lo primero que me acuerdo que dijo fue que era el único gay de la isla. Al día siguiente, lo i haciendo flexiones en la puerta de su casa. Me pareció un personaje interesantísimo, y quise ser su amiga. Brodie era más joven. Podía apostar que era incluso más jóven que yo. Era rubio y tenía un arito en la oreja. No hablaba casi nunca, y, cuando lo hacía, no decía mucho, y tenía una voz bajita. Había llegado hacía siete años. Varias veces traté de sacarle charla. No parecía que le gustara su trabajo. No podía descifrar quién era, ni qué le gustaba, ni por qué estaba acá. Cada vez que tenía que preguntarle algo, me daba la sensación de que lo estaba molestando con mi interacción. Me imaginaba que, de tener un backpacker nueo cada tres meses preguntándome las mismas cosas, yo también estaría harta; y mi objetivo para con él fue joderlo lo menos posible.

Tuve que ir borracha a tocarle la puerta una noche:

Con Charlie, ya no compartíamos francos. Ella estaba terminando su domingo, y yo acababa de terminar mi viernes, y habíamos decidido hacer una cata de las cervezas que vendíamos; pedimos una de cada una, una para cada una. Fuimos al médano donde a ella le gustaba ver a las ballenas, y nos mandamos alto after. Al caer el sol, volvimos al área del staff, y los kiwis me dijeron que alguien había visto mi cartel, y que habían hablado con Brodie.

"Uno de los Pippies me dijo que tiene lugar. Dame cinco minutos y te llevo", me dijo antes de volver a meterse en su casa.

Zigzagueando, risueñas, nerviosas, Charlie y yo seguimos a Brodie, que caminada entre los árbolas sin linterna, en plena oscuridad por una camino que ninguna de nosotras había adivinado que existía. Eidentemente, lo había hecho millones de veces. Me acordé del contrato: "bajo ningún concepto está permitido que el staff se acerque y socialice..."

Pasamos por el cartel de Prohibido avanzar, pasamos por abajo de una soga que hacía de cerco, y llegamos al campamento de los Pippies. Todo estaba alumbrado con lucecitas de navidad. Bajo un techo habían dispuesto cuatro mesas largas, y habían armado una cocina. De espaldas a nosotros, había un hombre secando unos platos.

-"Cory", llamó Brodie.

Cory se dio vuelta, nos sonrió, se secó las manos en el pantalón, y nos extendió un saludo.

-"¿Dolo y Charlie? Bienvenidas".

Nos dijo que tenía un lugar para el paseo del día siguiente, y que estaba más, y que estaba encantado de poder llevarme. Me contó cuál era el plan, y me pidió que estuviera a las 12 del mediodía en ese mismo lugar. Le agradecí mucho, y me respondió que no había problema, que era un placer, y mientras me estrechaba la mano, comentó "El staff de Cathedrals está más que invitado cada vez que tengamos lugar; nosotros los ayudamos, y ustedes nos ayudan a nosotros, ¿no?". Pues, claro, pensé.
