And now, for something completely different... (Only not so much)

Hace un par de meses estaba yo tranquila alternando juegos de ordenador y de consola con emulador. ¿Qué habrá sido de esos tiempos? ¿Chrono-qué? Se acabaron de golpe cuando llegó más trabajo... Estoy que exploto, pero por suerte las Navidades ya pasaron y ahora puedo tomármelo todo con más calma. Espero. Y para celebrar que hoy por fin he terminado de currar antes de la hora de cenar, cosa exotiquísima, os SPAMEO como en los viejos tiempos, ¡ale!

Avatar: Thanks to everybody who left a review in LJ I was prepared for the unoriginal story, so I could focus on the wonderful visuals and the nice characters and on Sigourney Weaver, whom I had forgotten was there, and who, at some scenes, seemed to be STILL in the same ALIENS environment. And Ellen Ripley is my #1 heroine of all times. The movie was long and Pocahontish, but entertaining, and the music reminded me at some points of Willow and The Lion King. Apparently, we'll get some extra scene in the DVD in which they'll show us how they f***, one expects through their braids.
South Park: Thanks to a Cell-menstruation leaving me drained to the bone, I could enjoy a Sunday morning in bed marathoning half of the first season of South Park. I've always heard about this and that since it aired for the first time when I was... 14, I think, but the only episode I'd watched in full was that about Stan's gay dog Sparky. But after watching Cartman singing Lady Gaga's Poker Face I got a fierce URGE to watch this show at last. Slowly buy surely.
So far the one that's touched closer to home was that of Stan's grandfather who, at 102, is desperate to die. I saw a similar character in a movie called Happiness, who even got jealous of a dead Tamagotchi. Although I found it cruel that, to show Stan what it meant to become old and desperate, he locked his grandson in a room and played on a cassette a version of Enya's Orinoco Flow to him until he screamed. SO unfair to poor Enya!
Another piece of music that amused me was the song they prepare for the Christmas play that had to respect all creeds (ep.9): it was a New Age & WTF experimental piece by The Phillip Glass Ensemble, and if you compare that piece with the one they used for Dr. Manhattan's flashback in Watchmen, it sounds practically the same. I think...
Ah, I love cartoons. I really do.
