It's been quite a while, huh?
Today I was just thinking about my blog and... Well... Why not share a little piece of my days with you people (since, having nothing to do, I could give my English some practice... I wander)

It's been some really fucking busy days... Just finished shooting my first short film!
Alterego em Vermelho (which could be translated as Alter ego in Red) is my firstborn: my screenplay, my production, my art, my directing and a couple things more; I'm actually very proud of myself, thank you very much for asking.
Hopefully I'll upload the little bugger here as soon as possible.

 

Oh, and this is the music clip I produced! Just finished all the touch ups so why not share it with you, the few people who gives enough crap to read this far.

The band is called Pão de Hamburguer and they are from Curitiba (my home town, the land of the living dead). Hope you like it!

 

What else, what else...

Next month I'll go to São Paulo (Brazil. Come on, people... keep up) to see David Lynch's seminar and that is SO FUCKING AWSOME! If anyone has seen Wayne' World... Well, David Lynch is my Alice Cooper ("We're not worthy!").

And, yeah.
That's it... I don't actually think many people will read until this point ("fuck it, this blog is useless". I know) so... Have a good day, etc.

Cheers.

Well, here I am after quite some time, huh.

Actually I'm just writting this becouse today, after a really long time, I decided to log here in MySpace and there it was, 1450 views in this shit hole and I was like HOLY CRAP, where all this people came from?!
So, to you new people from I-will-never-comment-here-fucker-land, welcome and I hope that you find something usefull and pleasent. Maybe not, who am I to judge your taste for blogs, right?

Yes, I'm right.

So let's see. I should say somethimg interesting since I'm already here. Hum.

Do you guys like David Cronenberg stuff?
Man, I love it! The whole existencialist-surrealistic shit makes me think about our very own situations, how we deal with life, problems and reality itself. How should we know what's real and what's not? What's right and what's wrong?
No, we don't know that 'couse we are the all singing, all dancing crap of the world as Tyler Durden so beautifully putted.



If you feel the urge to have mental problems, please, watch eXistenZ, Naked Lunch (adaptation of the Burrough's masterpiece) and, for a little touch of blood-red, A History of Violence (adapted from the not so great graphic novel by John Wagner and Vince Locke, which I really hate with all my guts... anyway...)

Now I feel like watching The Brood, again by Cronemberg, which I don't have many details but, come on, it can't be that bad with mutant children on a killing spree and my dear dear Davy directing it. As soon as I see the thing I'll let you know my thought.







Nah, maybe I won't.

It's being a while since I rock'n'rolled here, huh?

Let me see, what do I want to talk about today, what what what.

Ok, let's talk about Crossing Midnight from which I just read issue 7 so I'm feeling really IN the story, you know what I'm saying? That oh-my-god-that-is-what-I-want feeling? Really fourteen years old but, let's face it, who doesn't have a fourteen years old school girl inside? Ok, almost nobody, sorry for that.

Coming back, Crossing Midnight is this great piece of comic book that mixes in really great parts Japanese culture and mythology with a so-so teenage story and some badass Yakuza guys. Still, you can relate to a few stories, even that I can't really think of one right now, but it's not like it's the first time anyone did something like this, but it gets better, I promise. The story guys by the pact between a father and an ancient spirit called Aratsu, the Lord of Swords. So, because of this his wife gives birth to twins that are both sides of midnight. Now, fifteen years later, Aratsu is coming back to demand one of the kids to be his servant and, apparently, a big part in some kind of war between him and a great big assed dragon. In the meantime, the father is involved with the mafia and the whole family is going throw a really rough time.

 Starting to sound good? I surely hope so.

 The story is written by the great Mike Carey (you can read a great review about one of his other works in Jenn's blog http://blog.myspace.com/jennkowalski ) and illustrated by Jim Fern, which has a really good artwork here. The story goes under Vertigo's vigilant eyes and still hasn't been finished in his last part called A Map of Midnight that is up to issue 9 (or at least that's what I've heard. Come on, I'm fucking Brazilian, I can't know this shit.)

That's it, have a nice week or at least make an effort to it.

Oh, and in the Spooky Up Date: I'm having Satan's baby!
666 views! Hahahahaa!

Yes, maybe I should keep a chronological line for my reviews or something but then you readers wouldn't have the surprise of what's coming, huh? "What's that bastard going to do today? I'm excited!" hahaahaha, or something like that.

Well, Wanted was written by Mark Millar, who has a great taste and do some really interesenting things, and was drawn and colored by J. G. Jones who has his hands in things like Y: The Last Man that you probably already heard of (and that I personally don't ike). The comics was published by Top Cow with a lot of amazing characters that are actually a dark humor version of DC heroes and villons (specially the bad guys).

The story goes when the ultimate loser of the Earth, Wesley Gibson, who's girlfriend cheats on him with his best friend, who's boss take the shit out of him everyday and who, well, you get the point, his life sucks ass and he does exactly nothing about it. All of the suddenly, in the middle of this shit pools that is his world, he is contacted by The Fox and the Fraternity that tells him that he inherited a lot of money and the genetic ability to blast holes through peoples heads. How cool is that?

Starting from that, Wesley will have to work for the Fraternity of the super-villans, who already defeated all heroes and took over the world back in 1986 and made sure that everyone had completly forgget about it, which is in the middle of a civil war leaded by one of the five leaders, the scary, but funny, Doctor Rictus.

Now, the best thing about this comic is the Fight Club vibe going on about the regular "I eat shit" guy who goes out of his private world and faces the best and the worst trying to find what's  the meaning of his exsistence. And belive me, they talk shit as hell on this book... I mean, there's more "fuck" there than HERE! OH MY GOD!

Another cool thing is that the movie is on his way. Shooting started on April of this year and the release date is March, 2008. The director is Timur Bekmambetov and the casting is as good as can be; the scottish James McAvoy, Angeline Jolie and Morgan freakin' Freeman. I mean, this can't be bad, just can't!

 

That's it :D Wanted by Mark Millar, Read it or die.

You Are 40% Weird

Normal enough to know that you're weird...    But too damn weird to do anything about it!

 

You know, weird people make the world move. We are the strongest army on earth and we still let other people call us names, exclude us, give us funny looks and all. I mean, we have the power and we use it for nothing. How fucking weird is that?

 

Warren Ellis, Alan Moore, Burroughs, Bukowski, James Joyce, Tim Burton... Great people are weird.

Suck it, normal people!

Finished the rest of the comic and I have really few words to express here.

Fucking great. Smart, cruel, subversive, dirty, bloody and amazing. That's pretty much it.

Ellis maneges to keep the story very interesting hoocking you until the very unpredictable ending. Ok, not that unpredictable but you've got to admit there could be no better ending.

The art starts to get in my nervs, to be quite honest. But with the context it will still be of a good visual help to the chaos of the bixarre city and characters. I'ld give a 8.5 to the whole thing, I guess.

Oh, and I just wrote a whole review, critic and history about Death Dealer, the Image Comics story based on the painting but, fuck it sideways, my internet got bugged and I lost the entire shit. So, excuse me ladies and gentleman of the hight myspace society of the good manners but I feel like I have the right to curse every god damn thing I want.

Hate when this happens,

Just infuckingcredible.

Well, this will be a quick post to mention my Warren Ellis' matters guru, Von DEWS! (which is the only way that I can name him since I've metter actually met the guy).

He is the guy responsable for my present adiction for Ellis' comics and stuff. Great guy with an obviously good taste, huh?

Here is the music he wrote inspired by City of Silence (which I already mentioned, if you weren't paying attention ;D)

Cheers mate, thanks for the tips!

Bom, um post rápido para mencionar meu guru em assuntos de Warren Ellis, Von DEWS! (ue é meu único modo de nomeá-lo já que eu nunca realmente o conheci em pessoa).

Esse caraé o responsável pelo meu atual vício pelas coisas e quadrinhos do Ellis. Um ótimo cara com um evidente bom gosto, huh?

Aqui vai a música que ele escreveu inspirado em City of Silence (que eu já mencionei anteriormente se vocês não estavam prestado atenção ;D)

Valeu, cara. E obrigado pelas dicas!

Yeah, this is for you guys that speak English (I hope n  brazilian politician read this or... it can get massy)

Anyway, what do you guys outside Brazil know about us? No, there's no monkeys trying to kill me as I respectfully right this words with my bad, bad english and no, my mother wan't eaten by a lion... there's no fucking lions here, ok?

I know, most of you already know this shit but, fuck it sideways, a lot of people don't. So I get myself asking; why can't we have some decet image outside? Yes sir, we indeed have some nice movies (about the reality that we want so desperadly to forgget), our theater is amazing and we have some pretty decent writters but no, we can't produce comics.

I've heard that a brazilian comic about our north states (we call them Nordeste or "a pain in the ass for the government") in Spain and some others stuff but COME ON, PEOPLE, whattafuck is the problem with us? Are we having some kind of concience crises that makes us export only our bad things? Our negative side so that eeeeeeverybody knows how lazy our politiciais are and how fucked up is our system (belive me, if you don't live here you DO NOT KNOW what a fucked up political system is)? Is that all we have to show to the world? Or is it just me that was turned out by every publisher in town (and beyond)? Actually, I know it wasn' just me (Im' not that fucking bad). A lot of people I know have some brilliant concepts for storys, others can draw like GOD and others can really write AND DRAW the whole freaking thing and you know what? It looks greate! They don't try to show how horrible things are and sometimes they do some really good fantasy-sci-fi-whatever things that has nothing to do with our shitty reality!

But no, this people are outlaws in the eyes of out ALL SO POWERFUL publishers... this people are trying to do the unthinkable: they try to break the molds and do something that is actually INTERESTING! Yeah, how cool is that, boys and girls? There is still people who is stupid enough to try to do something good

Man, I know I may sound (may?) a little revolucionary but we can really pull this thing off before, as we say here, A VACA VÁ PRO BREJO (the cow goes to the swamp, haha). If more and more people did as a friend of mine and opened new publishing companys that are ready to give a chance t new people I guess, and I can only gues by this far in the problem, that things could be different. Not only with comics but with movies, writers and everything... becouse, in my opinion, doesn't take much of a "peoples's change" but more of a "mind's change"... Brazilian people MUST stop thinking that everything outside is great and all we have is a shitload of corrupt fuckers and poverty all over the place (yeah, it's ALMOST like this).

 

Ok? Now I can come back to my stupid asses reviews that no one reads... and yet again, I'm humbly asking for your written opinion about what I say, ok? It can be in ANY leanguage... that's why fuckin virtual translators are for...

Cheers, mates... good week

Então então então, percebo cada dia mais, senhoras e senhores que vocês adoram não comentar em diversos idiomas... inglês ou português, vocês são absolutamente mudos e sem interesse em dividirem um pouco do que vocês acham ou pensam.

 

Então, eu vou continuar escrevendo mesmo assim porque eu não poderia ligar menos, haha.

Mais uma vez cá estou falando sobre uma criação do meu atual mestre pessoal, Warren Ellis. City of Silence é uma mini-série em três edições (das quais eu li só a primeira até agora) e trata de um futuro bizarrissimo onde a tecnologia é uma droga. Sim, exatamente, o quão chapado alguém precisa estar pra pensar em coisas assim? Ellis is the man!

Neste futuro assustador de mega metrópoles povoadas por junkies tecnológicos, cultos a demonios virtuais e sacrificios ritualisticos de tecnologia à deuses estranhos, o leitor acompanhará os Silencers, um tipo de divisão especial da polícia que caça e elimina possiveis focos de novas drogas ou cultos. Até aí, por mais inovador que possa ser, ainda pode ser comparado a certas outras histórias futuristicas. Porém o que arrebenta com qualquer tipo de idéia antiga são os três silencers; um homem de uns cinquenta anos, uma mulher por volta dos trinta e outra um pouco mais nova, os três bizarrissimamente vestidos e com a compulssão por ficarem nús e atirarem em pessoas desnecessariamente (enquanto ainda, se vocês esqueceram, nús).

Pequena curiosidade wikipédica (hahaha) é que a série ia ser publicada originalmente pela editora Epic Comics lá pelos anos 90 (como se isso fosse centenas de anos atrás). No fim das contas os caras enterraram o projeto e ele foi ver a luz do dia denovo só em 2000, quando saiu pela Image Comics, nossa boa e velha amiga.

Com desenhos de Gary Erskine, o mesmo de Judge Dredd, Authority: Brave New World e varios outros, este quadrinho conta uma uma arte de um caos a altura de sua própria história. Corpos esguios, cores berrantes e desconexas (imagine um beco sujo cheio de junkies todo pintado de rosa e azul bebê), porém com uma excelente organização de página, City of Silence é uma ótima dica do tipo de luta as drogas que vai ser NECESSARIA em breve em certos lugares (cof cof Rio de Janeiro cof cof), então prestem muita atenção crianças e leiam tudinho enquanto comem suas verduras porque essa HQ é digna de nota.

 

Ok? Ok! Tchau!
