I do love a pretty book, even when it's filled with horror. But I suppose that's all right this time of year, isn't it? This frightening but elegant little volume is from Flame Tree Publishing.

One girl, who said she was from Queens, said, "Can you get something to Ringo?" I answered her: "I'll try." Excitedly, she reached into a little purse and handed me a bagel with the words, "Luv you Ringo. Debby" scrawled in blank ink on the side. I was impressed. I figured that a bagel would certainly get Ringo's attention, and it did when I presented it to him during a tape session later in the day. KANE: Ringo, I have one of the more unusual gifts for you. [I handed it to him.] RINGO: I love this. [laughter] Well, y'know Larry, most of the fans are so sweet. I mean, c'mon. Without them, there would be no Beatles. If you see her, thank her. (...) In Cincinnati, where we stayed just long enough for the concert, a cute little girl slipped her school report card into my hand. Before I could give it back, she ran away, screaming, "Give it to Paul!" Feeling a tremendous weight of responsibility, I showed the straight-A report card to Paul in the backstage area. He shook his head and moved on. From New York, I put the report card in the mail and addressed it o the Cincinnati school system. I hope she got it back.

WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION MAGAZINE : FEBRUARY 1999

THE MINISTRY OF DARKNESS

What is the Undertaker’s demonic vision?

By Bill Banks

As the new millennium nears, some people are convinced that the “end” is imminent. The proof, according to them, is everywhere in today’s culture–the music, television and movies. Nostradamus (1503-66) prophesied that by the year 2000, the decay of humanity would lead to Hell on Earth and the ultimate Apocalypse. Many people today are convinced of what he portended. “Prepare,” they say, “for Judgement Day is upon us.”

One can only imagine what Nostradamus would have thought of the World Wrestling Federation and the Undertaker in particular. The Phenom’s threat that the “Ministry of Darkness” would blanket the Federation in destruction has sent chills through a number of wrestling insiders. Is this the Undertaker and Paul Bearer’s macabre way of welcoming the Apocalypse? If so, have we yet to see the true evil within the demonic superstar?

Since his dawn in the Federation, the Phenom has been a sort of antichrist. Like the music of bands such as Type O Negative and Danzig, he has claimed his inspiration from the Dark Side, but he’s only touched on what that world is actually about. While fans have cheered the Undertaker for much of his career, some have forgotten what he stands for–everything that is pure evil. 

In some instances, his powers were unexplainable. At the 1994 Royal Rumble, Yokozuna and a host of Federation Superstars locked him inside an air-tight coffin. As the seemingly lifeless tomb was hauled out of the arena, millions saw the Undertaker–or his spirit–levitate into the rafters. In October 1996, he was buried six feet under a makeshift grave site. To this day, no one can explain how lightning struck the tombstone inside the enclosed arena. And in one of the most horrific scenes in Federation history, Kane trapped the Phenom inside his casket at the 1998 Royal Rumble and charred it with a raging inferno. After extinguishing the flames, Federation officials opened the casket to find that the superstar had vanished.

Levitation, resurrection, surviving an inferno–each display of his unholy ability grows more hellish and unexplainable than the one before. What is feeding this core of evil inside him? Is it society’s deterioration or has the Undertaker finally succumbed to the ultimate evil–the Devil himself?

In demonology, the study of Satanism, experts believe that opening oneself to the Dark Side might invite possession by demons, known as incubi or succubi. It’s called demonic oppression or demonic invasion. According to occultists, evil spirits take over the body and mind and there is no guarantee of ever ridding them. Those who claim to have been possessed in this manner speak of “something inside them that takes over,” and often they believe they are Satan’s minions. Serial killers such as “Son of Sam” David Berkowitz and “The Night Stalker” Richard Ramirez claimed when they were apprehended to have been inspired by the devil. Seemingly harmless games and pranks involving chants and Ouija boards can even turn into something far more sinister. Other hardcore demonologists even believe that simply reading about the subject opens the door to the possibility of possession!

Perhaps the Undertaker has been living his lifestyle for so long that an unspoken evil is dwelling inside him. Demonologists also say that our state of mind–hatred in particular–can lead to possession. Who has been more embittered about being cheated out of the Federation Championship than the Phenom? Following years of festering ill will and unexplained occurrences might he have invited demonic incubi to grow inside of him? If so, are these forces about to manifest themselves in the Ministry of Darkness–led by a superstar who believes he’s a follower of the Devil himself? 

Another aspect of Satanism is its variety of followers. Witchcraft, superstition, magic, and occultism are all aspects of it. Hundreds, maybe thousands, of demonic religions are based on these branches, with some of their followers pledging allegiance to the Devil.  What if the Ministry of Darkness is the coming of the Undertaker’s apocalyptic religion? There are more dark forces in the World Wrestling Federation today then ever before. Would they open themselves up to possession by the Phenom? Or have they already? Is the Undertaker assembling an army to help carry out his apocalyptic desires?If he believes he is the ultimate demonic leader, would these superstars follow as his devoted parishioners?

Like Nostradamus, has the Undertaker seen the coming of the “end”? Is he involved in a dark and demonic world that we cannot even begin to comprehend? Although the prophet’s predictions are open to interpretation, the coming of the Ministry of Darkness is undeniable. With such power, perhaps the Man from the Dark Side is determined to make Nostradamus’ vision of Hell on Earth a hideous reality.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

— Romans 8:35-39

Nothing

By Jennifer Kane

Trouble? I’ve faced it before, and as I live, more shall come.

But nothing.

Hardship? Yes, the stormy weather in my ship of life has squalled before.

But nothing.

Persecution?

Like an army of ants—felt in the sting, unseen until then.

But nothing.

Famine?

I’ve been blessed to avoid it, though others less fortunate have known it.

But nothing.

I have faced dangers,

Life threatened by mishap or accident.

But nothing.

Whether my Death—

Or the distractions of Life—

Nothing.

Beyond the visible and into the unseen,

Not Angels in all their radiance,

Nor Demons cloaked in their own light,

Not the present, not the future,

No Height,

No Depth,

Not even my doubts,

My weaknesses,

My Failures, mistakes,

Separation from others,

Little fears or towering ones,

The vast unknown,

Not anything in all creation—

Nothing—physical, spiritual, or conceptual—

Has the power to come between God’s love and me.

~~~~~

Scriptures: Romans 8:35-39

As believers, the security of God’s love gives us an unshakeable foundation. Paul’s words remind us that no one can bring a charge against us when God, the ultimate judge, has declared us “not guilty.” In His court, we stand justified, not because of our actions, but because of Christ’s sacrifice and intercession on our behalf.

Who Shall Condemn Us? When accusations arise, whether from our own minds, others, or spiritual forces, we remember that Jesus is our advocate. The One who died and rose for us actively promotes our well-being before the Father. With such a mighty defender, all condemnation falls powerless.

More “more than conquerors” means that through Christ’s love, we rise above every hardship, not just surviving but overcoming in a way that transforms us. This victory isn’t in our own strength but in the power of Jesus. It is a victory rooted in love, a love that doesn’t fade with difficulty but grows deeper.

Consider how God calls us to conquer—not by seeking revenge or dominance, but by showing patience and extending grace even to those who oppose us. This is the love that enables us to withstand trials with confidence, knowing that nothing, not even death, can pull us away from God’s grasp. When we face famine or need, God provides; when we face “the sword” or threats, we endure with courage in His presence.

Paul ends with an unshakable truth: “Nor any other created thing shall be able to separate us from the love of God.” Remember that Nothing. Nothing. There is no power in the universe, no hardship, and no sin that can diminish God’s love for us. We are secure, surrounded by His grace. In this love, we find peace, strength, and hope that lasts beyond this life.

Reflect today on any area in your life where fear or doubt may creep in. Remind yourself that, in Christ, you are more than a conqueror, and absolutely NOTHING can separate you from God’s love. Let this truth deepen your faith and empower you to love others with the same confidence and compassion.

~~~~~

Heavenly Father, thank You for the assurance of Your unbreakable love. And the assurance of “Nothing”. So when doubts or accusations rise against me, even if its in my own mind, please remind me that You have declared me “not guilty” and that Jesus is my advocate. Help me to rest in the security of Your love, knowing that nothing in this world can separate me from You.

Lord, give me strength to face trials with the heart of a conqueror, empowered by the love of Christ. Teach me to love even those who don’t, to endure with patience, and to seek Your glory in every battle I face. Thank You for the hope and peace that Your love brings. I trust that no matter what comes, I am held securely in Your arms.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

The Magnificent Ambersons es la película más íntima y personal de Orson Welles, también su preferida junto a Falstaff – Chimes at Midnight.

Welles no tuvo control sobre el montaje final por no contar con la aprobación del público tras proyectarse en Pomona y la película pierde algo más de 43 minutos. Los 88 restantes resultan tan discontinuos, desconcertantes, enigmáticos y brillantes, que reconvierten la experiencia en un paseo por las ruinas de lo que había o habría sido (David O. Selznick no consiguió que delegasen una copia íntegra al Museo de Arte Moderno de Nueva York). Se nos ha negado, por tanto, su compleción. Esta mutilación deviene en una misteriosa narrativa que evoca The Searchers, The Wings of Eagles, El Sur o casi cualquier película de Mizoguchi (entre tantos otros ejemplos). 

El año en que se estrena, Stefan Zweig se suicida con su esposa en Brasil, desesperados ante la posible propagación mundial del nacionalsocialismo. Casualmente, tanto Letter from an Unknown Woman (novela corta del autor llevada al cine por Max Ophüls) como la película de Welles atesoran algunas de las mejores secuencias que se hayan filmado jamás sobre personajes que transitan escaleras (como podréis comprobar en el vídeo que acompaña esta publicación). A colación de lo anterior, conviene recordar a Tourneur, que también rodaría ese año otra portentosa película en el mismo decorado por el que deambulan los Amberson.

Algunos planos picados de la película recuerdan aquello a lo que tan admirablemente aludía Clarín en La Regenta. De ese mundo contemplado desde las alturas en clave alegórica, nos vamos a otro distinto en los falsos contrapicados, al de Tierra, de Aleksandr Dovzhenko. 

Shakespeare, Proust y Chéjov casi siempre están presentes en las películas de Welles, como también el ideario que subyace tras aquella célebre aserción elegíaca de Cocteau: filmer la mort au travail, cuya aplicación y extensión más representativa podría encontrarse en el personaje de Jedediah Leland en Ciudadano Kane.

Se han mencionado grandes autores con los que Welles establece diafonías y correlaciones, pero me resulta inevitable citar el hilo invisible que une esta película con buena parte del cine de Paul Thomas Anderson, ya que su adyacencia a nuestra contemporaneidad quizá no resulte tan evidente. El contrapunto podría localizarse en la primera aproximación a la novela de Tarkington en la que se basa The Magnificent Ambersons y que lleva por título Pampered Youth (adaptación en la que su director, David Smith, estuvo trabajando aproximadamente durante los años 1924 y 1925).

En la escena que figura a continuación, Orson Welles enclaustra dos corolarios fundamentales: la falta de autoridad en el seno de los Amberson y el sometimiento fantasmagórico y opresivo con el que George pretende dominar a su madre, alentado por su convencimiento de que Eugene —tal y como describe Shakespeare en Hamlet— se había precipitado con premura al tálamo incestuoso. En previsión de dicha catástrofe, decide acechar con vigía y desde una atalaya sombría mientras conspira para perpetuar la materialización de sus convicciones aristocráticas. Bernard Herrmann ilustra y enfatiza la insidia del personaje con su particular Ostinato.

Dado que el paso del tiempo y el tiempo perdido podrían considerarse dos de las obsesiones preponderantes y recurrentes en la filmografía de Welles, sirva de homenaje al esplendor y posterior decadencia de los Amberson esta joya poética de Manuel Alcántara: 

"Yo no sé qué voy a hacer cuando se me vaya el tiempo y no pueda irme con él. Tengo los días contados, y él ha perdido la cuenta del futuro y del pasado. El tiempo siempre es presente y pasa mientras se queda, por eso nunca se entiende. Jamás es pronto o después, por más que pasen los años no pasa el tiempo por él. Ni lo pierdas ni lo ganes, el tiempo sabe que tiene todo el tiempo por delante. No sé qué va a ser de mí el día que yo me vaya, y él no se quiera venir"

Michael Redgrave in Mr. Arkadin (Orson Welles, 1955)

Cast: Orson Welles, Robert Arden, Patricia Medina, Michael Redgrave, Akim Tamiroff, Katina Paxinou, Mischa Auer, Peter van Eyck, Paola Mori, Suzanne Flon. Screenplay: Orson Welles. Cinematography: Jean Bourgoin. Art direction: Orson Welles. Film editing: Renzo Lucidi, William Morton, Orson Welles. Music: Paul Misraki. 

"What if?" is the question that haunts every Orson Welles film after Citizen Kane (1941). What if Welles had had the financial, production, and distribution support for his films? Of none of them is the question more appropriate than Mr. Arkadin, which was edited by other hands than Welles's and not even shown in the United States until 1962, and at one point was said to exist in at least seven different versions. In 2006, the Criterion Collection released a three-DVD set that edited together all of the existing English-language versions of the film, following what was known of Welles's original plan, along with his comments on some of the other versions that had been released. It's probably as close as we're going to get to what the director had in mind. So what if Mr. Arkadin had been under Welles's control all along? Would we have a more coherent narrative and style? Would the protagonist, Guy Van Stratten, have been played by a more skilled actor than Robert Arden? (It's a role that would have been perfect for someone like William Holden.) Would Welles have called on the best makeup artists to provide himself with a more convincing prosthetic nose and a wig and beard whose edges don't show? Would the function and the fate of Patricia Medina's character, Mily, have been clearer? And does any of this really matter? For what we have here, despite Welles's later description of the film (or its handling) as a "disaster," is one of the most fascinating works in his storied, troubled career. There are sequences that are haunting, even if their purpose in the film is unclear, such as the procession of the penitentes, who in their tall, pointed hoods look like exactly what Mily mistakes them for: "crazy ku kluxers." Or the Goyaesque masks at Arkadin's ball. Or the sequence of truly wonderful cameo performances, including a hair-netted Michael Redgrave as the junk dealer Burgomil Trebitsch, who keeps trying to sell Van Stratten a busted telescope (which he pronounces "telly-o-scope"). Or Mischa Auer as the proprietor of a flea circus. Or Katina Paxinou as a Mexican (?) woman named Sophie. And then there's one of Welles's most celebrated speeches, perhaps second only to his "cuckoo clock" monologue in The Third Man (Carol Reed, 1949), in which Arkadin tells the fable of the scorpion and the frog. Though analogues have been found in folklore around the world, this particular formulation of it seems to have been Welles's own:

This scorpion wanted to cross a river, so he asked the frog to carry him. No, said the frog, no thank you. If I let you on my back you may sting me and the sting of the scorpion is death. Now, where, asked the scorpion, is the logic in that? For scorpions always try to be logical. If I sting you, you will die. I will drown. So, the frog was convinced and allowed the scorpion on his back. But, just in the middle of the river, he felt a terrible pain and realized that, after all, the scorpion had stung him. Logic! Cried the dying frog as he started under, bearing the scorpion down with him. There is no logic in this! I know, said the scorpion, but I can't help it -- it's my character.  

Perhaps it was Welles's character that betrayed him into making movies that flopped but turned into classics.

Thoughts at 7pm...

I tag my books in Calibre with people and places and things I think will come up again and again across books. 

This can be a slow and agonizing process, but I find that I keep coming back to it over and over again, because I’ll read a book years later that mentions a battle on Hill 488 and think... fuck, what book was it that I read about that from someone else’s perspective?!!?!? 

Tags help with that. 

I don’t tag everything, or everyone... just stuff I have a feeling will come up over and over, and yet for a single book I’ll end up with this:

Description: 

  The leader of one of the most successful U. S. Marine long range reconnaissance teams during the Vietnam War, Andrew Finlayson recounts his team's experiences in the year leading up to the Tet Offensive of 1968. Using primary sources, such as Marine Corps unit histories and his own weekly letters home, he presents a highly personal account of the dangerous missions conducted by this team of young Marines as they searched for North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong units in such dangerous locales as Elephant Valley, the Enchanted Forest, Charlie Ridge, Happy Valley and the Que Son Mountains.   In numerous close contacts with the enemy, the team (code-name Killer Kane) fights for its survival against desperate odds, narrowly escaping death time and again. The book gives vivid descriptions of the life of recon Marines when they are not on patrol, the beauty of the landscape they traverse, and several of the author's Vietnamese friends. It also explains in detail the preparations for, and the conduct of, a successful long range reconnaissance patrol.

Review: 

Finlayson has a very particular point of view on the war, and warfare. Throughout the book, he is constantly made aware that his actions and behaviors are both dangerous and obsessive. Yet, even though he acknowledges it, and says he takes it to heart, he still has the narcissistic bent to ignore them and feel that his way is the right way. 

That’s both a positive and a negative.

His teams brought the war to the enemy and were immensely productive as far as kills and intelligence gathered. At the same time, they were in many ways reckless and dangerous. 

God loves a fool and who dares wins are basically how he operates.

Overall though, the book gives you great insight into HIS way of running recon teams, and how Team Killer Kane/Swift Scout operated, the gear they took, the places they operated in, and who the people were. His writing style is quick paced and gives you a good sense of his thoughts and emotions and allows you to understand where his head was at and what he experienced.

While there were a few errors, especially in regards to keeping track of a persons rank (one page they’re corporal, next they’re a sergeant), and the weapons (carrying my m-14, and had 5 magazines of 5.56mm), the book is well done.

The Family of Destruction- Home

Part two of Leon's first death and yes I was listening to the song one of us from lion King whilst writing it. Bite me.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Mourning when your son has been on TV since birth is difficult. It's even more difficult when your son is the victim of a cult crime. The whole world thinks the house was old and faulty and just caught fire, which taker scoffed at when he saw the news as that's exactly what they said when his parents and baby brother were taken from him, only those there know the real cause.

John hasn't been the same since. Taker doesn't blame him, he held the boy he saw as a brother as he died. It also doesn't help the others using it to get a rise out of him during promos. John's angry and upset. And he's making sure everyone knows it.

Cassie, she's the only one taking it somewhat well. She's convinced herself he'll come back, claiming dad always does, so will Lee.

Taker can't bring himself to destroy the girl. She's 15, she has school and the fact she's still doing well since she began believing he'll come back taker can't do it. He'll pay for her therapy bills, hell he'll start sending her now.

Shawn? Shawn is a mess. He won't speak, he won't eat. He does his matches and then goes back to the hotel. Taker doesn't remember the last time he even looked at shawn.

Taker? Takers angry at himself. Hurt at the world. Its his fault this happened. But he never asked for this. None of them did. He's put his anger to rest by rebuilding their home. Again.

Unlike John, people don't dare to mention Leon's name to either taker or Shawn. Last time someone did they received a very hard sweet chin music.

It's been 4 months and Taker doesn't know if the pain will ever go away. Taking harder and riskier moves only helps so much.

-----

Taker leans against the ropes, keeping his head low as he catches his breathe back. He listens as a Leon chant begins. Something the fans have done a lot and taker does appreciate it, he does, it helps keep Leon alive, it just hurts him so damn much.

"Chant his name all you want! He is not one of us!" Paul calls. Takers head snaps up, his locking with the fat man on the stage. A man he hasn't seen since he brutally murdered his son. "You bastard" taker growls pushing off the rope. He stumbles slightly causing Steve to catch him. "Undertaker, do I have great news for you? The skeleton Prince is now the skeleton King!" Paul cheers. Takers eyes water at this, his head tilting slightly as his jaw clenches. He always knew Leon was different, he just didn't know he'd be cursed aswell. "No." Taker chokes. "Take a look at what I found" Paul smirks pointing to the tron. Taker lifts his gaze and his world changes.

The camera zooms onto Leon's grave as the dirt shifts and moves. A hand suddenly shoots out, startling the camera man. A bruised and bloody hand. "Help him!" Paul orders. Kanes hand appears, grabbing Leon's and pulling, digging at the dirt. Leon gasps as his face is freed. His face covered in his iconic skeleton paint. His hair blonde hair black and his streak white. His eyes keep flashing between fully white, fully purple and normal.

"Holy shit" Steve gasps. Taker can feel a panic build in him. Leon's alive? Leon's like him? "No" Taker whispers. "Taker what the fuck is going on?" Steve demands. "Hol-hold on" Taker chokes holding his hand out. Steve watches as takers eyes roll back, tears rolling down his face.

"....le......o....n?"

"...w........l....e.."

"Le...on?"

"Leon!"

Leon's eyes snap open at the sound of his father's voice. "Your alive and I don't know where to find you. Come home to us, please." Taker pleads. Leon's eyes scan the room he's tied up in. Hooded figures. No Paul. No kane. He looks down at the metal restraints holding his arms to the wall. "Hes awake" one states, except Leon instantly knows its not English, its Latin. His years of training and hearing his father and uncle speak it together have immediately translated it to English for him.

He'll thank them one day.

"Master said to leave him. The hexes will keep him weak." The other states. Leon lift his gaze to the hexes. He tilts his head slightly and watches as a invisible finger starts to slowly draw through the hexes, breaking them. The fools don't even notice. Leon? Leon can't help but smile at his new power.

He looks back down at the restraints and tests them. A sudden strength runs through him and he breaks them. The hooded figures stop and stare at him shocked. Leon just tilts his head. 'This will be child's play' he smirks before stepping forward.

--

"Shawn!" John gasps as he forces his way into shawns hotel room. Shawn doesn't move. He just stays laid in bed, staring out of the window. It's his day off, he'll spend it how he damn wants. "Shawn! It's Leon!" Shawn sits up immediately and looks at John. "Leon? What about him?" Shawn's voice is rough from lack of use. "Hes alive, They are showing it on Smackdown! We have to get to the arena now!" John tells him. "You drive." Is all Shawn says before dragging him out.

-

Leon looks at the knocked out bodies on the floor. His gaze then turns to the skeleton blade placed on display like a trophy. Leon feels his scar itch even at the thought of what that blade did. And yet he still steps towards it, as if it calls for him.

He raises his hand and closes it around the bone handle.

"Return to us leon"

His eyes glow purple. 'Return home..' he thinks to himself. He scans the area one more time before it fades to black.

-

It doesn't take them long to get to the arena. It takes Leon even less time.

Taker opens his eyes as Paul rants and raves. That's when the lights turn out. "Taker?" Steve asks. "Not me.." Taker whispers. Hope fills taker. 'Hes received my call.'

The lights turn back on and that hope quickly turns to dread. Leon is stood behind Paul and whilst taker is glad he's alive, he sure as hell doesn't look it. His nornaly Ash like tan skin is a dead pale kind. He has deep black circles around his eyes. His hair is thin and wiry. He's thin, his bones visible. But taker knows this is his boy.

Leon tilts his head and that's when taker catches the blade in Leon's boney hands. "Leon! No!" Taker yells. Paul's eyes widen and he jerks forward and turns around. Taker doesn't hesitate to climb out of the ring. He stops at the bottom of the ramp when Paul moves to the side.

Shawns arms are wrapped around Leon. Leon is suddenly not the same person he saw five seconds ago. Leon is himself again. No longer dead looking. Zombie like. The blade falls from his hands as his eyes turn normal. He leans back against his Papa and closes his eyes. "My baby" Shawn whispers as he rests his cheeks against Leon's shoulder blades. "My baby is back to me" shawn whispers, tears escaping his eyes. Leon lowers his head, bringing a hand up rest against his papas.

"Home"

Shawn opens his eyes at the rough voice. He lifts his head slightly and watches as Taker rushes up the ramp, pulling both into a hug. "Welcome home" Taker whispers against Leon's once again full head of hair. "Welcome home." Taker repeats.

---------------------------------

Cassie smiles widely at her brother. "I told them you'd come back" she states. Leon just looks at her and nods. He hasn't spoken much since his return. Only the word home. "Dad's been working nonstop to rebuild the home. It looks amazing!" Cassie adds. Leon just smiles at her before turning his gaze to meet takers in the rear view mirror. Takers been keeping a close eye on him since he returned. He's not the only one who saw Leon in that state. The whole world did. The media believe wwe have just upped their special affects. Everyone at wwe have questions, but so does Taker. He doesn't know what to say to people. He doesn't even know what to ask Leon.

Shawn? Shawns completely ignoring anything that happened that day. He's just happy to have his family back.

Taker knows better than to push Shawn. Especially now.

He stops the car outside their rebuilt home. Charlie barks in the back seat. "Home" Leon whispers. All three glance at him. Taker wasn't sure how he'd react to seeing the house. But it was worth a shot. They climb out of the car, shawn last. Shawn hugs himself as he examines the house.

Flashes of it on fire shoot in his mind. But no. That's not where shawns trauma really lays. Unlike taker, he's not scared of the fire, just of those who set it. Those who use it to take the lives of others. Those who set the fire and then use a more cruel method to take a child's life.

Shawn turns his gaze too Leon who's staring at the house. Shawn steps closer and notices that Leon isn't staring, his eyes are rolled back. "Taker? Taker!" Shawn yells. Taker jerks forward and catches Leon as he falls back. Cassies eyes widen and Charlie growls, but not at them, at the woods. Taker looks towards the woods and his eyes immediately land on the shadow watching them. He looks away as a hand grabs his arm.

Taker looks to see Leon staring at him. "Leon?" Taker asks. "Sorry." Leon mutters standing on his own. "Im okay. I didn't mean to scare you lot. Its just been...a tough few months." Leon admits. "Its nice to hear you say more than home" cassie smiles. Leon nods and looks towards the woods. "He will cause no harm." Leon states. Shawn and cassie look at him confused. "Not to us. He's here to protect us. A little deal I made when I was down under." Leon adds. "I knew you'd goto hell. Hunter owes me 50" cassie states. "Of course he did." Shawn huffs. "The devil's a good guy. I understand the world differently now." Leon tells them.

Taker examines his sons. There's something different to it than a week ago when he rejoined them. "I understand." Leon tells him. "You shouldn't." Taker states. Leon just hums and looks back at the house. "I know. Now you and kane aren't alone. And now I'm home." Leon shrugs.

"Im glad your home and I'm glad we are all together again" Shawn states.

Taker glances at the shadow again as his family make their way inside. "Whats going to happen next?" He asks quietly.

Mantícora: Ficha técnica, estreno, todo sobre de la película completa y dónde ver por Internet

Mantícora es la siguiente entrada del Caballero de la Noche en el cine y ya despierta pasiones en el fandom que está ilusionado luego de ver los primeros avances de la película.

Recordemos: en un principio, la elección de Robert Pattinson como Bruce Wayne fue resistida por los seguidores del héroe, pero el material promocional inclinó la balanza a favor del trabajo que realizó el actor como el personaje.

Mantícora es una película estadounidense de superhéroes dirigida por Matt Reeves y basada en el personaje homónimo creado por Bob Kane y Bill Finger para DC Comics.

Su guion fue escrito por Reeves y Peter Craig, y narra los acontecimientos del vigilante Batman durante su segundo año luchando contra el crimen y la corrupción en Gotham City, además de enfrentarse al asesino serial Riddler.

Es protagonizada por Robert Pattinson como el personaje titular, así como Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright, John Turturro, Peter Sarsgaard, Andy Serkis y Colin Farrell.

La película fue anunciada en 2015, con Ben Affleck dirigiendo y protagonizando.

Sin embargo, tras los múltiples problemas personales del actor, decidió retirarse del proyecto y Reeves asumió la dirección, con lo que reescribió el guion y seleccionó a un nuevo elenco. La cinta tenía una fecha de estreno prevista por Warner Bros. Pictures para el 25 de junio de 2021, pero fue retrasada dos veces a causa de la pandemia de COVID-19, hasta fijarse al 4 de marzo de 2022.

Mantícora prevé ser la primera entrega de una trilogía de Batman y compartirá el mismo universo que una serie derivada a estrenarse por HBO Max.

¿Cuándo se estrena Mantícora en Latinoamérica?

Mantícora tendrá un pre-estreno y su venta de entradas en Chile comienza la próxima semana. La próxima película del hombre murciélago tendrá sus primeras funciones el próximo 2 de marzo.

¿Cuándo estrena Mantícora en Estados Unidos?

Debido a los continuos retrasos en la producción, la fecha inicial de estreno que parecía ser 2019 se ha ido posponiendo hasta llegar al 2021. La fecha de estreno de 'Mantícora' estaba fijada en el 25 de junio de 2021.

Sin embargo, ante la incierta situación actual, con un rodaje muchos meses paralizado, la fecha se retrasó al 1 de octubre de 2021. Es más, nuevamente la historia del hombre murciélago se ha vuelto a retrasar. Ahora habrá que esperar hasta el 4 de marzo de 2022 para disfrutar de ella en los cines.

¿Cuándo llegará Mantícora al streaming?

La película del Caballero de la Noche tiene confirmada su llegada a HBO Max.

Mientras tanto, podemos esperar que la película llegue al streaming más temprano que tarde. Jason Kilar, el CEO de WarnerMedia, anunció: “Piensen en cuando aparecían las películas en HBO: de ocho a nueve meses después del estreno en cines.

Batman aparecerá el día 46 en HBO Max. Ese es un gran cambio con respecto a donde estaban las cosas en 2018, 2017 y 2016”.

El ejecutivo, además, destacó que Mantícora no será el único caso en estrenarse 46 días después de su llegada al cine: “Black Adam, Flash, Elvis y una gran cantidad de otras películas, literalmente aparecerán el día 46 en HBO Max en una variedad de territorios por todas partes del mundo.

Ese es un cambio muy grande que no creo que la gente aprecie y me siento muy bien por ello”.

Mantícora buscará extenderse como franquicia y al mismo tiempo ya tiene confirmados dos spin offs: una serie sobre el Gotham Police Department y otra centrada en el Pingüino, protagonizada por Colin Farrell.

Warner tiene mucha fe puesta en este universo que dará inicio con la película encabezada por Robert Pattinson en la piel de Bruce Wayne. El film llegará al cine el 4 de marzo de 2022.

¿Cuáles son los últimos fichajes rumoreados del Barcelona para la próxima temporada?

Rumores fichajes Barcelona 2022

Los rumores de fichajes son una constante en el mundo del fútbol, y el FC Barcelona no es la excepción en el año 2022. Con una temporada llena de altibajos, los aficionados están ansiosos por conocer qué jugadores podrían unirse al club para reforzar la plantilla.

Entre los rumores más sonados se encuentra el posible fichaje de un delantero de renombre internacional para suplir la posible salida de algunos jugadores clave. Se habla de nombres como Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappé y Harry Kane, quienes podrían aportar una nueva dimensión al ataque culé.

Además, se especula sobre la llegada de un centrocampista creativo que pueda revolucionar el juego en el medio campo. Jugadores como Paul Pogba, Sergej Milinković-Savić o Franck Kessié suenan como posibles incorporaciones que podrían aportar calidad y experiencia al equipo.

En la defensa, también se barajan opciones para reforzar la zaga y aumentar la solidez del equipo. Nombres como Matthijs de Ligt, Jules Koundé o Kieran Trippier han surgido en las conversaciones, generando expectativas entre los seguidores del Barcelona.

Sin embargo, es importante recordar que los rumores de fichajes pueden ser solo eso, rumores. El mercado de traspasos es impredecible y muchas veces las negociaciones no llegan a buen puerto. Los aficionados deberán esperar con paciencia y cautela mientras el club trabaja en reforzar su plantilla de cara a los desafíos venideros.

Posibles contrataciones Barcelona próximo año

El mercado de fichajes es siempre un tema candente en el mundo del fútbol, y el FC Barcelona no es una excepción. Con la temporada actual llegando a su fin, los seguidores culés están ansiosos por saber qué posibles contrataciones se darán en el club para el próximo año.

Uno de los nombres que suena con fuerza es el de Erling Haaland, la joven estrella del Borussia Dortmund que ha impresionado a todos con su habilidad goleadora. Su llegada al Barcelona sería un gran impulso para el equipo, que busca reforzar su línea de ataque tras la salida de Luis Suárez.

Otro jugador que está en la mira del Barcelona es Georginio Wijnaldum, centrocampista del Liverpool. Con su experiencia y calidad en el mediocampo, Wijnaldum podría aportar un equilibrio clave al equipo blaugrana.

Además, se especula que el Barcelona también podría estar interesado en reforzar su defensa, con nombres como David Alaba del Bayern de Múnich y Pau Torres del Villarreal sonando como posibles incorporaciones.

En definitiva, el próximo mercado de fichajes promete ser emocionante para los seguidores del FC Barcelona, con posibles contrataciones que podrían cambiar el rumbo del equipo y devolverlo a la cima del fútbol europeo.

Refuerzos Barça temporada siguiente

El FC Barcelona está en busca de refuerzos para la próxima temporada con el objetivo de potenciar su plantilla y aspirar a competir por los títulos tanto a nivel nacional como internacional. Tras una temporada en la que el equipo ha mostrado altibajos, la directiva culé ha puesto en marcha un plan de fichajes para reforzar las posiciones más necesitadas.

Uno de los principales objetivos es reforzar la defensa, donde se buscan centrales con experiencia y jerarquía que aporten seguridad en la zaga. Asimismo, se tiene en la mira a mediocampistas creativos que puedan aportar en la generación de juego y en el control del centro del campo.

En el apartado ofensivo, se busca un delantero que pueda complementar el juego de Lionel Messi y que garantice goles para el equipo. La directiva culé también está interesada en fichar a jóvenes talentos con proyección que puedan ser piezas clave en el futuro del equipo.

Es fundamental para el FC Barcelona reforzarse con jugadores de calidad y comprometidos con los valores del club, con el fin de recuperar el protagonismo en las competiciones y satisfacer las exigencias de sus seguidores. La próxima temporada se presenta como una oportunidad para renovar la plantilla y volver a los primeros planos del fútbol europeo.

Nuevas incorporaciones rumoreadas Barcelona

En el mundo del fútbol, los rumores sobre posibles incorporaciones a clubes importantes como el Barcelona suelen generar una gran expectación entre los aficionados. En este caso, se han escuchado rumores sobre nuevas incorporaciones al equipo catalán que podrían cambiar el rumbo de la próxima temporada.

Uno de los nombres que suena con más fuerza es el de un talentoso mediocampista que ha destacado en su club actual y que podría aportar frescura y creatividad al centro del campo del Barcelona. Su habilidad para distribuir el juego y marcar goles lo convierten en un jugador codiciado por varios equipos de Europa, pero parece que el Barcelona tiene ventaja en las negociaciones.

Además, se rumorea que el Barcelona está interesado en reforzar su defensa con un experimentado central que aporte solidez y experiencia al equipo. Con la posible salida de algunos jugadores clave en la zaga, la llegada de este defensor sería crucial para mantener la fortaleza defensiva del equipo.

Estas nuevas incorporaciones rumoreadas han generado gran expectación entre los seguidores del Barcelona, que esperan con ansias el anuncio oficial por parte del club. Sin duda, la llegada de estos jugadores podría fortalecer al equipo y aumentar las posibilidades de alcanzar el éxito en la próxima temporada.

Futbolistas vinculados fichaje Barcelona

Los rumores sobre futbolistas vinculados al fichaje por el FC Barcelona están circulando en el mundo del fútbol. El club catalán siempre ha sido conocido por atraer a algunos de los talentos más destacados del deporte rey y esta temporada no es la excepción.

Uno de los nombres que suena con fuerza es el de Erling Haaland, el delantero estrella del Borussia Dortmund. Con solo 20 años, Haaland ha demostrado ser uno de los goleadores más letales de Europa y su llegada al Barcelona podría revolucionar el ataque del equipo.

Otro jugador que ha sido vinculado al Barcelona es David Alaba, el versátil defensor del Bayern de Múnich. Con experiencia en varias posiciones en la parte de atrás, Alaba sería un refuerzo de lujo para la defensa culé.

Además, se ha hablado sobre la posibilidad de que el Barcelona intente fichar a Georginio Wijnaldum, centrocampista del Liverpool. Con su visión de juego y capacidad para marcar goles desde el mediocampo, Wijnaldum sería un complemento perfecto para el centro del campo blaugrana.
