Cine: Struck By Lightning (2012)

La carrera de Chris Colfer es sorprendente: en 2009 le tocó formar parte del monumental éxito televisivo y musical “Glee” (2009-2015), adonde interpretó al carismático y extraordinariamente talentoso Kurt Hummel, un rol por el cual ganó un Golden Globe en 2011. Un año más tarde desarrolló al máximo su faceta como escritor, publicando “La Tierra de las Historias: El hechizo de los deseos” (“The Land of Stories: The Wishing Spell”), el primero de su saga de seis libros, un esfuerzo impresionante: cada libro ronda las 500 páginas. En ese mismo 2012 estrenó este proyecto en el que puso todo su talento como guionista, productor y actor.

“Struck by Lightning” tiene un comienzo sorpresivo: Carson Philips (Colfer) es el narrador de la historia... a pesar de haber sido fulminado por un rayo. Así, desde el Más Allá, da un vistazo a sus últimos momentos de vida. Cómo fue adquiriendo un tono sarcástico frente al mundo, merced principalmente a la separación de sus padres, mientras persigue su sueño de ser editor de medios como “The New Yorker”. Su obstáculo: es presidente de un club de escritores en el que abunda la apatía del resto de sus miembros. Su vida es tan poco estimulante como el resto del poblado de Clover: convive con su madre alcohólica y depresiva Sheryl (Alison Janney), su abuela (Polly Bergen) apenas sí lo reconoce debido al Alzheimer que padece y su padre (Dermot Mulroney) está a punto de casarse con la farmacéutica April (Christina Hendricks). 

Para lograr la admisión en la Universidad a que quiere asistir, Carson funda una revista literaria escolar, buscando sorprender positivamente a sus autoridades. Como no hay quien se apunte a la idea, la única opción que se le ocurre es... chantajear a varios compañeros.

El divertido filme, dirigido por Brian Dannelly, no especifica la sexualidad del protagonista; dado que fue escrito por Colfer no es errado esbozar que haya querido imprimirle algo personal. Por caso, sí hay una sorpresiva pareja homosexual: la conformada por el gay de closet Nicholas Forbes (Carter Jenkins) y el presidente del club de Drama, Scott Thomas (Graham Rogers). Ambos caen víctimas de la extorsión de Carson, a la que también ceden la porrista Claire Mathews (Sarah Hyland), la gótica Vicki Jordan (Ashley Richards), el capitán del equipo de fútbol americano Justin Walker (Robbie Amell), el falso estudiante de intercambio Emilio Lopez (Roberto Aguirre) o el fumón Dwayne Michaels (Matt Prokov). También hay que añadir a la lista a Malerie Baggs (Rebel Wilson), su mejor amiga y siempre en estado de bloqueo de escritor.

oh man i could easily use this for other contextual things as well instead of just weapons or spells, like as an easy example i could do Sekiro's Lightning Reversal this way by just having a struckByLightning flag that overrides the jump attack animations.

and alternate weapon movesets tied to special attacks can use this too oh shit! i can just basically set up a lookup table so that [Some Alternate Moveset] uses the weapon type ID of a weapon to find what set of animations it should replace the appropriate attack array(s) with by checking some big data table specific to that alt. moveset

bam wow this is such an obvious solution. now i only need one animation system for weapons & spells, and another for shields. obviously there also needs to be a check so that spell animations only overwrite your left/right hand anims if you have the appropriate catalyst held but that's easy. just a super simple check before it slots in the attackAnimStruct, run whenever you cycle spells/weapons. like. if [leftWeapon.CatalystType] == [activeSpell.CatalystType] then (load activeSpell.attackAnimStruct) else (load leftWeapon.attackAnimStruct)

I’d just like to say, once and for all, that Chris Colfer is the single greatest human being on this earth and deserves endless love and support. Not only is he hilarious and talented in both writing and acting but he is also a huge inspiration to everyone who has dealt with bullying and self doubt. He’s actual best, you could argue with me, but then you’d be wrong.

It's one of the most amazing experiences, finding something to write about, or realizing something for the first time. It comes out of nowhere and just hits you. Then it's all you can think about and it goes through your body and tries to escape and be expressed in any way possible. It's a lot like lightning. #chriscolfer #struckbylightning #quotestoremember #quote #quoteoftheday #quotesdaily #quotes #writing #writersofinstagram #writer #writerscommunity #writers #writersblock #writersofig #bookstagram #bookquote #bookquotes https://www.instagram.com/p/BuUcya-nCy_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=s4qm60he9nmi

CHRIS COLFER'S BIRTHDAY VIDEO 2021

I decided to make again a video for Chris' birthday this year. Spreading love is always the right choice and we all need it during this rough time.

I need to say a BIG thank you to the many people who supported me last year when I was doubting myself, you know who you are, and to those who every year keep participating. And a thank you in advance to anyone who will take part in the video this year.

This is the theme I came up with, hope you'll like it ❤️

How to send your participation, either with a video or a pic:

________________

PART 1

-film a VIDEO of yourself telling your favorite Chris' book AND the reason why you'd recommend his books/him as writer (please, hold your favorite book in it!). Or film the book and just talk if you're camera-shy

+wish him a happy bday

(you can speak in your own language but send a translation!)

or

-write down your fave Chris' book AND the reason why you'd recommend his books/him as writer, take a PIC of it plus the book (and yourself if you want) +wish him a happy bday

Always prefer HANDWRITTEN notes->more personal.

________________

PART 2

-make a separate video OR a separate pic telling/writing down "YOU'RE AN AMAZING WRITER!" in your language.

FOR ALL THE INTERNATIONALS, HERE I NEED YOU TO USE YOUR NATIVE LANGUAGE!

This sentence will go in a separate part of the video, so make sure it's a different vid/pic from the 1st one!

Let's bring back again the multiculturalism of his fandom! ❤️

________________

TIPS:

-use good lightning, very clear writing, big letters

-no length restrictions, but please keep it brief, it gets really hard to read long letters in videos.

-please don't send me files by DMs!

Send everything to:

mylifeisathread@gmail.com

as an attachment and ADD YOUR NAME +COUNTRY OF ORIGIN

DEADLINE MAY 22ND.

(If the video is too big for the attachment, send it via wetransfer or upload it as a not listed video on YouTube and send me the link)

I'm @mylifeisathread both on twitter & IG for any questions.

SPREAD THE WORD!

I'll post the video link on my twitter and YouTube channel (MyLifeIsAThread) on May 26th (the day before his bday)

You can tweet him the link, as usual being respectful and not spamming him! We do it to show him our love and appreciation, not for attention ❤️

Hope you will be a part of it! Thank you!

Hugs,

Ari
