EPIC MICKEY

Epic Mickey is a videogame for the Wii. My friends bought it to me, for my birthday, and I'm very happy with it!

The game tells the story, that once upon a time, the wizard Yen Sid created a theme park of Disney called Wasteland, for their forgotten and rejected creations. 

Mickey, who went through the mirror of his house, is into Yen Sid's studio, and he see the model that has created Yen Sid of Wasteland. He waits until Yen Sid's gone, so he can contemplate it. 

Playing with it, Mickey creates accidentally a monster of ink called Shadow Blot, and while he destroys it (incompletely), paint and solvent tipped over above Wasteland's model. After that, Mickey go away from the house. 

 Shadow Blot try to take control of Wasteland and of the first resident or eldest brother of Mickey, Oswald. Finally, the Shadow Blot overcomes them, and their world turns into a dark and sinister version.

Years later, Mickey has forgotten all this story, but his mirror comes alive and takes him into Wasteland. 

Oswald, who's crazy by jealousy for Mickey's fame, has formulated a plan to destroy Mickey. Mickey, armed only with a magic paintbrush, has to stop the Shadow Blot, get the confidence of Oswald and save cartoons of Wasteland.

I love very much this game. For me, it's incredible. I have discovered a lot of things about Disney that I didn't know before. Moreover, in the game you can unblock some extras, and there, you can see some things about the old Disney. I have seen an episode about Oswald, of the year 1928. It's awesome! 

A part from be a game, you can discover new interesting things. I love cinema, and I love Walt Disney, so now I can learn more things about him and his world, and for me that's incredible. 

I have to say to the people, that they have to buy this game if they like Disney's world. It's necessary have it if you like it! 

Mickey and Oswald

I don't care if people say to me that I'm childish because I see cartoon movies, because I play this game or because I want to go at the theme park Disneyland. In my opinion, all we have our Peter Pan inside, and it's very sad for me lose him. 

Goya 2011, the speech of Álex de la Iglesia.

"[...]A movie isn't a movie, until someone sits in front and watch it. The essence of the cinema, defines itself in two concepts: a screen and people who enjoys it. Without public, it hasn't no sense, we can't never forget it. They say that I've caused a crisis. Crisis, in Greek, means process or change. And the change, is action.

We are in a point of no return, and it's the moment to act; there's no reverse. Of the decisions which are taken now, all depends. Nothing that were useful before, is useful now. The laws of the game have been changed. [...]... that something called Internet, would rebel the market of the cinema in this shape. [...]

Internet isn't the future, as someone thinks. Internet is the present. Internet is the way to comunicate, of share information,  entertainment and culture, that use hundred millions of people. Internet is part of our lifes, and the new window which opens our mind to the world. At the netsurfer don't like that they call him so. They are citizens, they are just people. They are our public. This public, that we've lost, don't go to the cinema because they are in front of a computer screen. I want to say that we aren't afraid of Internet, because Internet is the salvation of our cinema. [...]

I want to say goodbye in my last performance as president, remembering at all the candidates of the Goya one thing: who cares win or lose, if we can make cinema, work on what we love? There's anything better that feeling free creating, and share this happinness with the rest. We are moviemakers, we create stories. We create worlds because the spectator lives into them. We are more than 30.000 persons that are lucky to live making dreams. [...]

This is a part of the speech that made Alex de la Iglesia in the Goya Festival of 2011.
De la Iglesia, in his speech alluded his intervention at the polemic created for this decision to abandon his position in disagreement with the law Sinde. 

The director of the Cinema Academy, that night, in addition choose of 15 goyas for the movie "Balada triste de trompeta", has claimed a new model of market that takes into account the actors, directors, producers, broadcasters and users. A change that involves a way to understand the cinema.

He remember again that Internet is the salvation of cinema. "We only just win the future, if we are who change, who anticipate."

- I'm totally agree with De la Iglesia. Also, it's very encouraging for me, because I want to study cinema. So this speech have motivated me, because before I saw my future very dark, without start.

It's hopeful that there are people like Álex yet. 

I've seen a lot of movies for Internet. And it's culture, because I've seen a lot that now are very important to me. When I saw Edward Scissorhands, Big Fish, Across the Universe, Ed Wood, etc. it was through Internet. And the major part of the movies that I've seen in Internet and that I have liked them, I have bought them after. So, where's the problem? If I hadn't got any webs where see movies, maybe I would never knew them, and I would never bought them. But Sinde can't understand it.

DEATH TO LAW SINDE!

The way that The Beatles make me feel. ♥

The Beatles were an english band of rock, that were formed in Liverpool in 1960. They are recognize as the most succesful and acclaimed band in the story of the music. They were John Lennon (rhythm guitar, vocals), Paul McCartney (bass, vocals), George Harrison (guitar, vocals) and Ringo Starr (drums, vocals).

 

Abbey road! Typical image of The Beatles.

All my life I have heard about them, obviously, but I got really interested in them since half year ago. I saw a movie called Across the Universe, which is a musical full of songs of The Beatles. After see it, I started to search more songs, because I didn't know so much about them. It was magic for me, because finally I discovered better The Beatles.

Well, I have put this title (The way that The Beatles make me feel), because I don't want to talk about them (because in my opinion all the people know about them), but I want to talk about how they make me feel when I'm listening to them.  

It's difficult to explain... but as says their song "A hard day's night": When I'm home, everything seemed to be right.." So I think: When I'm listening to The Beatles, everything's seems to be right". Because all my worries and stress disappears. Is magic! I listen a lot of music everyday, because I think that I can't live without music.. There are bands that put me nostalgic, agressive, excited... The Beatles give me hapiness and hope. When I think that all is dark, The Beatles can be perfectly my light. If I'm down, sometimes I only have to listen to them, and I start to feel very relaxed. It's like a medicine...

Maybe the only song of The Beatles that puts me nostalgic and pensive, is "Yesterday". This song is amazing, and very beautiful.. I know all it, and some many times I have sang it whole without problems.
 

I don't know what song is my favorite. I think that all them are great, and I suppose that there are a lot of songs of The Beatles that I have never listened to them. But I have the rest of my life to find out... :)

One of my unattainable dreams is to go at one concert of The Beatles. I never will go in one of them, sadly, but well. I really hate the son of a bitch that killed John Lennon, and when I think of it, I want to kill him with my hands...
George Harrison died too, of cancer, in 2001. It makes me sad... But if I've got a lot of luck, maybe I will meet with Paul and Ringo. That would be a fabulous dream for me! 

In my opinion, The Beatles and all the bands that makes good music will live forever. If you only makes comercial music to win money, you don't love music. The Beatles loved making music, and for this they will live forever (as other bands and singers like Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley or Iron Maiden, not as Justin Bieber and this crap. Maybe a lot of girls are talking about this "boy", but after few years, no one will know about him.)

I can be talking of them a lot of time...  but I have to finish. Finally, here I put a mix of The Beatles!

I LOVE THEM ALL!! ♥

 

LONG LIVE TO THE BEATLES!

My Birthday

This 4th February was my birthday. Now I'm 17 years old!
Friday, I went with my Brian to dinner and to the cinema in Figueres. We saw "Hereafter" a movie of Clint Eastwood. Really, the movie's very good, but in my opinion, I think that missing something.

Brian gave me roses... I love it so much!! (although it seems a little cheesy...)
I took this photo with my new camera!

On Saturday, my friends prepared me a surprise party. They are so nice...
The party was... different. And very original. 

Brian and me went first to my friend's house, Pau. We were playing at the Wii Sports, while the other friends were preparing the party. Then, we went to walk for the village, and there was when I saw the first surprise. One friend of mine, Shannon, and her boyfriend, were sitting in a bench. But they were wearing a mask... a Johnny Depp's mask. Suddenly, they lighted to me a candle, and they started to follow me. We were walking through the village, and I met with other friends. All they were distributed for all the village, and all they were wearing masks of Johnny Depp's characters (and of Cheshire Cat!)

This are the masks that they wore :)

Everyone of them lighted to me a candle, until there were 17 candles sparkling in the darkness.
There was another surprise for me... behind a Mad Hatter's mask, there was one of my bestfriends, Víctor. He lives in Barcelona, so I didn't think that he had came to St.Pere. It was a great surprise for me, and I started to cry!
Another great anecdote, is that Aleix Serra was wearing as Edward Scissorhands, and he made me a smiley face with his scissors in a paper. ♥

Finally, we arrived at my house, where there was a lot of food and drink in my garden. We ate and drank, and then they gave me some gifts: one letter with all of dedicatories, a videogame for the Wii that I wanted, called Epic Mickey (I suppose that I will talk about it here when finally I will can play with it.. I hate exams.) and one of my favorites movies, Ed Wood. I was really happy :)

Eating and drinking in my garden!

Nessie: who want some caaake?

Also, they gave me other gift: a video. We entered to my house to saw it. It was a video full of photos of me and of my friends and family about 20 minutes. It was nice... :)

After, we went to dinner pizza and frankfurt. That was a great day for me, and I will remember it until my dying day, of that I'm sure.

Thanks for all, my friends... you know that I love you so much! :)

Arrival of the Birds

Some weeks ago, a good friend of mine, Víctor, showed me this song. I loved it so much... I think that's so special. It expresses a lot of things, it lets your imagination fly. Days ago, I was listening the song, and a lot of scenes appeared in my head. So I started to listen again, and I started to write. I was writing what the song was saying to me. I wrote it in catalan, but now I have translated it in english. It isn't much, but it was what song inspired to me.

"I was escaping of the world. I felt a gentle breeze of a cold air around me in this so dark day. I was running through the forest, entering me in that fog where all disappeared; I heard the rustling of leaves under my steps, the branches were combing my hair, the green of the trees were stroking and receiving me in this place where the light didn't arrive. But I felt that, no matter how fast I was running, I didn't go anywhere. I felt completly lost, but suddenly I turned, and I saw it. I didn't know where I was, but I felt that at last I had arrived in my destiny. A terrorific yet hopeful light, was appearing in the middle of the forest, in the middle of nowhere. I decided to make my heart stronger, because a fear was starting to seize of mi, without any reason. And that was the impetus that got me start to run to this mysterious light. When I was near, I finally jumped into it. That was my first flight.

I was suspended in the air, surrounded by light, full of life. I lifted my arms with the intention to caress the heaven and to felt that I was part of the clouds that were on me. And suddenly, I started to fell down a cliff without bottom, but I wasn't afraid. I was falling without stop, and the air around me disappeared for a moment.. and then it was when I arrived in paradise.

I was looking around me for a long time. In this moment I knew that there weren't anything more amazing and beautiful anywhere of the big universe, that the place that I was seeing. The peace and harmony of that place, filled me. I had found at last a happinness that I've never knew before... and I returned to disappear. My self was divided into a thousand pieces and I became the air around me, in the own paradise. And so, I fought with the death; I became immortal."

Her name is Alice.

A tale that I love is Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll. When I was a child, I didn't see Disney's movie of it so many times as others, because my mother hates the movie, so my parents didn't buy it. When I grew up, I saw the movie again, and I loved it so much, because I was feeling like Alice. Since always, my parents and family have said to me that I'm not living in the real world, that I've been always pensive, imagining.

When I saw Alice in Wonderland by Tim Burton in the cinemas, for april, the story surprised me again. For a long time I didn't think about the tale, but after see the movie of Tim, I fell down in Wonderland again.

Some musicians colaborated together for do a CD about Tim Burton's movie, Alice in Wonderland. His name is: Almost Alice, and I have downloaded it with Spotify. In my opinion, there are a lot of songs that are horrible, because it doesn't combined with Burton's style.

In the other hand, some of them are great. My favorite is: Her name is Alice, by Shinedown. Now I put the song with the traduction to catalan here:

(If I had a world of my own everything would be nonsense)

(Si tingués el meu propi món, tot seria un disbarat)
(Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't)

(Res seria el que és, perquè tot seria el que no és.)
I invite you to a world where there is no such thing as time

T'invito a un món on no existeix el temps
And every creature lens themselves to change your state of mind

I cada criatura es presta a canviar el teu estat d'ànim.
And the girl that chase the rabbit drank the wine and took the pill

I la noia que que perseguia al conill, va beure's el vi i es va prendre la pastilla,
Has locked herself in limbo to see how it truly feels 

S'ha tancat en el limbe per veure el que realment sent. 

To stand outside your virtue no one can ever hurt you, or so they say...

Al estar fora de la teva virtut, ningú pot mai ferir-te, o això diuen...

Her name is Alice (Alice)

El seu nom és Alícia (Alícia)
She is crawling to the window

Es cola per la finestra 

Through shapes of shadows

A través de formes i sombres.
Alice (Alice)

Alícia (Alícia)
And even though she is dreaming, she knows...

I encara que estigui somiant, ella sap...

Sometimes the curiosity can kill the soul but leave the pain

A vegades la curiositat pot matar l'ànima però deixar el dolor
And every ounce of innocence is left inside her brain

I cada mica d'innocència es queda dins del seu cervell
And through the looking glass we see she is painfully returned

I a través del mirall veiem el seu reflexa de pena
But now off with her head I fear is everyone's concern

Però em temo que ara la preocupació de tots és que li tallin el cap.

You see there is no real ending

Veus que en veritat no hi ha cap final real
It's only the beginning

Tan sols és el començament
Come out and play...

Surt a fora i juga...

Her name is Alice (Alice)

El seu nom és Alícia (Alícia)
She is crawling to the window

Es cola per la finestra 

Through shapes of shadows

A través de formes i sombres.
Alice (Alice)

Alícia (Alícia)
And even though she is dreaming

I encara que estigui somiant

She's a locked for meaning for you

Ella ha revelat el significat per tu

This kingdom good riddance

Aquest regne, adéu molt bones.

Her freedom and innocence 

La seva llibertat i innocència
Has brought this world all clean down...

Ha enderrocat tot això...

Her name is Alice (Alice)

El seu nom és Alícia (Alícia)
She is crawling to the window

Es cola per la finestra 

Through shapes of shadows

A través de formes i sombres.
Alice (Alice)

Alícia (Alícia)
And even though she is dreaming

I encara que estigui somiant

She's a locked for meaning

Ella ha revelat el significat,
She's a locked for meaning for you

Ella ha revelat el significat per tu

(In contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn't be)

(I per el contrari, el que és, no seria)
(And what it wouldn't be it would)

(I el que no seria, si seria)
(You see?)

(Ho veus?)

Christmas Holidays.

This Christmas Holidays the "Three Magic Kings" brought me a great Nikon D3100. It was which I wanted, so I'm very happy and greatful to them!

The camera is awesome. It have a great quality and resolution, and it can record videos with a high quality, too... so now I can record my own short films! 

There is a photo of it:
 

I'm to happy with the camera, and even I've put her a name.  She's called Zealand, because it's a beautiful name for me, and because I want to travel with her to New Zealand, to take magic photos. 

I show you some pictures that I've took with Zealand:

Sant Pere Pescador

I think that my poor cat, Idriss, doesn't love like me the camera. I think that she's angry with me, because I'm all the day taking photos of her. Like this:

 Her yawning! (she seems like a snake here!)

In my opinion, cats are a great models. Well, they are always sleeping, but when they are awake, they are fairly quiet, so you can take good photos of them. And also, they have a very beautiful eyes ♥

I love photography, and I love so much record my own "movies". So Zealand is my relic now.

The last thing I have to say, is thanks to my family (or the Three Magic Kings) for this great gift! :)
