Okay, this is just unfair, people. My internet connection goes away since noon yesterday and what is it that I find when I come back?

THAT I MISSED THE HOSTAGE BRITUATION '08.

SO. NOT. COOL.

(I mean, poor gal, she's had it rough, but the posts and graphics and whatnot are seriously hilarious, lol.)

*stares at four posts of 5000 comments each and wonders where should she start*

Instead of going through the bazillion pages of the Hostage Brituation '08, I spent most of the day browsing through Beatles communities in LJ, and squeeing at picspams of early!Beatles. Which may of may not have included George sitting on a disvellished John, hee. It was rather nice, even if my eyes hurt, lol.

Yesterday, I finally watched I'm Not There. My thoughts on it are... ambiguous, at best. While I love the idea of having six different actors to play a different 'incarnation' of Dylan's, in the end, it all just becomes extremely confusing and disjointed unless you're a hardcore fac, which I'm definitely not. The thing is - every part on its own is extremely good - it shows a great range of both acting and cinematography and style, and yet, when mixed together, they just don't fit very well. Cate Blanchett was just as good as everyone says, and Heath Ledger was okay (although Marcus Carl Franklin and Ben Whishaw were better), but Christian Bale was such a disappointment. He took it too far. In the same way, both Marcus Carl Franklin and Richard Gere's parts were too fantastic, too outlandish and too much like Carnivale or Big Fish to fit with the complete movie - which is almost sad, because they were both really good by themselves.

So yeah, I'm not sure exactly what to think. On the whole, I liked it, but it left me terrifly confused, so. On the plus side, though, it features Charlotte Gainsbourg, whom I adore.

Oh, and there was Original bandslash/fictional RPS the other day. Original fiction is the only thing that doesn't make me feel guilty of pimping, lol.

lol, I just caught the top five of VH1s greatests songs of the 80s in Spanish thingy and it made me laugh hardcore. LOL, I had never seen it before but, HOW CHEESY IS THE VIDEO FOR LA INCONDICIONAL, EH? EEEEH? XD

But it was also a bit of *headdesk* worthy because everyone's all OMG IT'S ALL SO SUPERB and honestly, there's not a way anyone could say Timbiriche was is so ZOMG DEEP with a straight face. Not even the members, lol. And the way they kept saying Mecano's Cruz de Navajas was so ~profound~ and about ~real life, omg~.

It's a good song, but I'm a big Mecano fan (stfu they're good), and if you want a good song about social conscience you should better look at El Fallo Positivo (about AIDS) or El Lago Artificial (about drugs), or Dalai Lama or hell, at El Peon del Rey de Negras (about clasism). Or Sterosexual, even. But weirdly enough, those are always the songs that get looked over, and people keep on remembering the dumb Maquillaje or Me Cole en una Fiesta or early not-so-good stuff like that.

But then again, Aidalai is my favorite album of theirs, critics be damned, so.

And, er, in case you don't know who the hell I'm talking about, Mecano is a Spanish pop band from the 80s. They wore horrible clothes and had craptastic hairstyles, but they were awesome. And cheesy. BUT STILL AWESOME.

Man, I've been listening to the Beatles all day long, it feels weird to listen to something in Spanish again, lol.
