6


     If three is a magic number, six must be doubly magical. It's been six months since I began writing this blog and to celebrate... today's entry will be the recognition of having begun six months ago. No more. No less. And of course that has nothing to do with the brutal amount of work I've had lately... that kind of work that makes you...

Mad

     ... and wanting some... some... some...

Rule of Three

     It's like saying: Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice... BEETLEJUICE !

     Good things come in threes. So do bad things. And even things that are neither good nor bad.

     Three is a magic number.

     So to complete the triad here is another homage, even though it does not partake in the story of the animations from the two previous blog entries. To know the why of this particular piece there is this page... and in this link you can watch the animation in its original aspect ratio (700 x 600 px).

     This and the previous blog entry are an homage to:

1) Predator, the iconic film by John Campbell McTiernan, Jr. with the great performances of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, Jesse Ventura, Shane Black, Bill Duke, Sonny Landham, Richard Chaves, Elpidia Carrillo and Kevin Peter Hall (also known as --in order --major Alan "Dutch" Schaefer, George Dillon, Blain Cooper, Rick Hawkins, Mac Eliot, Billy Sole, Jorge "Poncho" Ramírez, Anna and the Predator).

2) A series of animations called "Madness Combat" by Matthew "Matt" D. Jolly, also known as Krinkels. This part of the homage was really because I wanted to make some money on account of a contest, but it must account to something, right ?

     And in a lesser manner (meaning, a little throughout both animations and in the final part of the second one) an homage to:

1) Sin City, both Frank Miller' graphic novel and Robert Rodríguez' adaptation (who would then go on to produce Predators --or Predator 3 --, a sequel that could have easily been an action short of between five and fifteen minutes).

2) Alien, Sir Ridley Scott's piece. Performing Sigourney Weaver (in her first lead role), Tom Skerrit, Veronica Cartwright, Ian Holm, John Hurt, Yaphet Kotto, Harry Dean Stanton and Bolaji Badejo (who are --again, in order --Ellen Ripley, captain Dallas, Lambert, Ash, Kane, Parker, Brett and the Alien).

3) Aliens, the refreshing sequel (contrary to Predator 2) directed by James Francis Cameron and with the acting capabilities of Sigourney Weaver, Michael Biehn, Carrie Henn, Lance Henriksen, Al Matthews,  William Hope, Jenette Goldstein, Bill Paxton, Mark Rolston, Ricco Ross, Tip Tipping, Trevor Steedman, Daniel Kash and Paul Reiser (or Ellen Ripley, corporal Dwayne Hicks, Newt, Bishop, sargeant Al Apone, liutenant William Gorman, privates Jenette Vasquez, William Hudson, Mark Drake, Ricco Frost, Tim Crowe, Trevor Wierzbowski, Daniel Spunkmeyer and Carter Burke).

If I Were...

     A Rich man... bababibabababababababibabababammm... If I had all the money in the world... I would stop making nonesense and just do as I please, but since I don't have it I write a blog instead.

     A Film Director... my first movie would be an international hit, lauded by the most globally recognized critics and I would work with the most sought after stars in the media... or maybe I would end up with something like... this:

¡ RAM--BLING !

     An Actor... well, that's been already seen... here what came out of that project:

The fabled Pirate Bob Ross

     A Musician... I would be a great success and at last I would have A HIT ON THE RADIOS SO I COULD WIN MY FIRST MILLION... and I would brush with the jet set, singing with the media socialité... or I would devote myself to the creation of monotonic loops...


     Poet and mad I already am.

     If I was socially responsible I would have a blog about that as well. That one you can find here. Go check it out and may we read each other in the next emission.
