CD

Another free post

This time I'm going to talk about two really good bands, that I can recommend, but I will not say about the band, I will talk about one of their discs. Those have characteristics that had have importance in moments of my life, and I hear them in specials moments of it, depending how I feel. Who doesn't have a song, disc or band which you listen it in specific occasions?



First. "Silversun Puckups - Pikul". This is the first EP from this band. They released this one in 2005, so this is a relatively new band, they play alternative rock. The first time I listened this was in winter 2007, and it didn't really like me a lot at the first moment, but then I heard it more and more and in less of a month I was in love. I liked listen it when I was alone home or when I travel, in general I like this EP in peaceful moments, when I am alone.




The another disc belongs to Radiohead, called "Kid A". I chose this one because I like the whole disc, I think is one of the best discs I heard in my life. This is the fourth studio album of this band, released in 2000. This album produces me different emotions, depending on the song. I like listening it with my boyfriend, it brings me a lot of memories with him, specially when we drink beer the cloudy days on the beach, to me it's very romantic =)

Vendetta



My free post is going to be about two of my favourites movies, because I like a lot of movies and it was hard to decide.
The first one is "V for vendetta", I think I have watched this movie five or six times, and it has not bored me yet, I could watch it ten times again. The first time I watched this film I do not really remember when it was, I think I rented it in 2007, and I loved it from the first escene. This movie is based in a graffic novel wrotten in '80, created by Allan Moore and David Lloyd, and the film was directed by James Mctigue, who was assistant in "Matrix", another amazing movie.
Well, about this movie I like everything, and I think I am an exigent person about films. The most I like is the movie script, it's really well done and inspired, specially the protagonist's words, "V", characterized by Hugo Weaving. Natalie Portman, at the same time is one of my favourite actress, she shined in this movie just like in "The professional". In general, the temathic of this movie is unreal, but it contains many things of reality, I give a ten to this movie, you do have to watch it.

The second film I am going to mention is "Kill Bill", 2003. This movie has two aspects I like, fist, the director: Quentin Tarantino, who has made films like "Inglorious Bastards" and "Pulp Fiction". Second, Uma Thurman became into one of mi favourite actress, like the one I had mentioned. This movie I like because it has a lot o blood, the effects are cool, and has aspects of Japanesse culture. Also I do not really like marcial arts films, but this it conquered me.



I freaked...

Burj al Arab



This time it was hard to choose a building because I think there are many beautifull around the world, big, small, expensive, cheap, new, old, historical importance, economic importance, etc. So I made like a random choice.


I Chose the "Burj al Arab" building, I think the first time I watched this it was in a program called "Megaestructuras".
This is an hotel located in Dubai, Arab Emirates. It height is 321 meters, it's really big and tall, and it was built above an artificial island. It has eight restaurants and the rooms are really spacious, in fact this is a seven stars hotel, does exist someting like that in Chile? the answer is no, and there are not something like this in all the world. I like this one because it impresses me that was built above an artificial island ubicated in a distance of 270 meters from the country, the configuration is marvelous too. It's really hard to get it up, I can not even imagine it! I would love to know it, although I can pay for, it is very very expensive. I am satisfied just looking from the ground. Another impressive thing of this hotel is that it has floors underground, it means that the building is even more complex and atypical than it looks.


...I expect I could go there some time, but I think it's going to be possible when I become into a bird.
