Ingerul nu poti fi tu
Tu poti fi un inger
Dar ingerul nu poti fi tu

Little Miss Sunshine

A family determined to get their young daughter into the finals of a beauty pageant take a cross-country trip in their VW bus. The bus has some problems and every time they start it, it looks like they are in a bobsleigh contest. Kind of funny.

The teenager kid is not talking for 9 months now. I don't think it's the same reason as in Bergman's Persona. Anyway, when the suicidal uncle enters his room he sees something on the wall and he asks: "Who is that? Nietzsche? So you stopped talking because of Friedrich Nietzsche?"

Another line that caught my attention was when they were stopped by a cop. Then the father, who will tell you about winners and losers in the film, stops the car and goes like this: "Oh my God, I'm getting pulled over. Everyone, just... pretend to be normal."

Everyone, just... pretend to be normal.

Three Colours

1. Red
Predictable? How red can you go? I go red. Red is the color of your blood. Red is the Ferrari. The red is a song from Chevelle. You should wear red, it makes you look active. Red looks well with black.

2. Black
Predictable? Black is back? I like black. Dark is black.
Jack Black is an actor. Do you have black eyes? Black hair? Blackjack. Black looks really well with red.

3. Yellow
Couldn't see this coming? Yellow as in coward. Yellow as in the Romanian flag middle color. Yellow as in Asian. The sun is yellow sometimes. I can also go yellow. Yellow as in hello.

4. Blue

Snow Patrol versus Thirteen Senses

Now we have two bands. Kind of alike. For this I have links that will only play sounds, no videos. Imeem links. You will see what Imeem is all about. Three songs for each band:

Snow Patrol - Run
Snow Patrol - Somewhere a Clock is Ticking
Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars

Thirteen Senses - Into the Fire
Thirteen Senses - Do No Wrong
Thirteen Senses - Thru the Glass

Si avem si cantece in afara competiei:
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb
si varianta prezenta si pe soundtrack la The Departed:
Roger Waters, Van Morrison, The Band - Comfortably Numb

And of course the unnecessary lyrics:
Snow Patrol:
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice...

Thirteen Senses:
Pull up, pull up
From one extreme to another

I wanna lose control look down scream out loud
Let the others sort it out

Pink Floyd: (in afara competitiei)
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb
...
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

Babel

Morocco, Japan, United States, Mexico. Four nations.

The moroccan kids are taking care of the sheeps and are trying to hunt jackals. The mexican maid is trying to take care of two american children. The american couple is going to Morocco to get away from everything else. The deaf-mute japanese teenager... Well you will see what she tries to do. I'll tell you one thing: she is going to the disco, a scene to remember.

Everybody is trying too much.

Is it said that they all have communication problems. That their stories are connected. A very thin connection is enough sometimes to lean the balance, when you are on the edge. The edge of anything.

Babel (2006)
directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
awards: best director Cannes (2006)
awards: Oscar nominee best movie (2007)

The Pursuit of Happyness

In theirs Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson said that we (or they) have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. How he knew to put the 'pursuit' in there, like no one can actually have happiness. We can only pursue it.

The movie is about a struggling salesman and his five years old kid. You have to see the movie to understand what struggling means.

Everybody in the street seamed happy. He wanted that. He saw a Ferrari, and he wanted one. The owner was a broker. This was the begining of his pursuit.

The movie title is spelled wrong and you can see why in the first minutes of the film. After all there shouldn't be a Y in that word. There should only be an I. I should be in happiness, it doesn't matter why. But this part of my life... this part right now... This is called pursuitless.

Depănare

In 1994 finala Champions league se juca intre Barcelona si Milan. Ne adunaseram mai multi prieteni, eu avand desigur 10 ani, destul de proaspat cel de-al zecelea. Imi placeau ambele echipe, tineam cu cei mai buni.

Toti o dadeau pe Barca favorita si eu nu intelegeam. Nu sunt Milan cei mai buni? De ce ar fi cealalta echipa favorita? Nu stiam fotbal. Puneam intrebarile gresite. Acum stiu ca era Marele Milan, atunci ma indoiam. Nimeni nu asculta, Barca va castiga ziceau. Dar vai lor.

A venit finala. de vis. Goluri unul dupa altul. de vis. Doar noi le dadeam. pe toate.

Lecitina

Lecitina este o substanta naturala ale carei efecte curative sunt putin cunoscute. Principalele sale componente sunt colina si inozitolul.

La auzul vorbelor pline de inteles ale farmacistului, Brazil cumpara doua flacoane.

Un flacon mic de Super Soya Lecithin are 100 de capsule si costa 370.000 lei (pretul de depozit).

La auzul vorbelor pline de inteles ale farmacistului, Brazil cumpara doua flacoane.

Brazil ascunse cele 4 flacoane in buzunar. Va avea sustinator nerunoal si cardio-vascular pentru 133 de zile si o dimineata.

Ce dimineata!

Nimeni nu stie

Nimeni nu stie cat timp a trecut. Ce prozaic. E 21:22. Nu suntem la ruleta. Prietenii stiu de ce. Atat in privinta numerelor, cati si a ruletei. Radu va spune ceva? El stie despre ruleta mai mult decat mine. El poate nu a ales numerele din acelasi motiv pe care l-am ales eu. Nimeni nu stie de ce.

Vi se face pofta de tango cand ascultati Joe Dassin? Daca nu ati exista? Joe Dassin spune ca nu ar exista nici el. Dar Joe Dassin exista, si fanfara, si oameni la care daca mergi ii pui in paranteze drepte, in status. Nimeni nu stie de ce.

Cand am fost mic am cazut pe jos si am scapat o sticla de suc. S-a spart. Eram descult. Eram in vacanta. La Semenic? Probabil.

Nimeni nu stie cat timp a trecut. Baliverne.

Tribal Wars

Luptele intre triburi sunt dure. Prea dure ar putea spune unii. Cunoscatorii. Totul tine de sincronizare si nu numai. Drept urmare, cele 6 reguli ale Cunoscatorilor, cunoscute pentru lumea triburilor drept The Old School Elite Lions Rules:

1. Niciodata sa nu ataci flamand
2. Daca esti satul nu inseamna ca esti gata de atac nici pe departe
3. Daca mergi sa plundering, go alone
4. Zidul nu vine gratis. But remember: if you build it it will come.
5. O injuratura bine spusa te poate exclude din joc
6. The Old School Elite Lions Rules!

So join World 5. we are four lions. world 5. six rules. or should I say, sex rules?
