Science-fiction it's all about imagination, it's the creation of our own reality.
The world, THE reality, is really far from being perfect, so it's always good to have other "realities" to have a break of our own. It shall be wonderful to create these films... It starts with one idea about one reality and... voilá... we make it real... we make the reality we wish real... Well... It's not "just like that"... Avatar (for instance) took 15 years to be complete (yes, that's a lot) and it cost 237 milion dollars (now that it IS really a lot)!! But imagine how happy it's now the director with that. It's own reality, seen and lived by thousands of people (well... he may be happy about the money he gained, to - 1,33 billion dollars) but, apart from that, its amazing how technology helped us in that. It made this even more real! Isn't that amazing? 3-D films give cinema a whole new dimension, and that it's SO awesome!
These kind of movies are very exiting because they show us a different dimension, with new creatures and, in particular, this movie it's one of the pioneers in this kind special-effects.

Tutto per voi :(

Here is one amazing italian poem by Francesco Petrarca. It clearly shows how messy and sad love can be:

Per voi

Pace non trovo e non ho da far guerra
e temo, e spero; e ardo e sono un ghiaccio;
e volo sopra'l cielo, e giaccio in terra;
e nulla stringo, e tutto il mondo abbraccio.

Tal m'ha in pregion, che non m'apre né sera,
né per suo mi ritèn né scioglie il laccio;
e non m'ancide Amore, e non mi sferra,
né mi vuol vivo, né mi trae d'impaccio.

Veggio senz'occhi, e non ho lingua, e grido;
e bramo di perir, e chieggio aita;
e ho in odio me stesso, e amo altrui.

Pascomi di dolor, piangendo rido;
egualmente mi spiace morte e vita:
in questo stato son, amore, per voi.


For you

I can't find peace and the war don't want me
I'm afraid, waiting and burning, being frozen,
And I can fly across the sky being ground,
And holding nothing, I hug the hole world.

He jail me, don't let me go, don't give this love one end,
Not even for him he breake the loop
Don't kill this love or set me free,
Don't want me alive or death.

I see without eyes, without tong I scream
And I wish my dead, I wish for help
And full of odium I love someone.

Fed by the pain, laughing I cry
Death or life it's now the same
And all of this, my love, for you.

(I made myself the traslation so probably it's full os mistakes.
All the translations to portuguese I read were all a bit confuses and that was my interpretation.
If you disagree with something please comment. All help it's welcoming : D )

Snow

Hi everyone! It's snowing today! : DD



Let It Snow : Lyrics
Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

It doesn't show signs of Pauseping,
And I've bought some corn for popping,
The lights are turned way down low,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

When we finally kiss goodnight,
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bying,
But as long as you love me so,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

One of the greatest songs from The Beatles!!

Lyrics:
Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please

He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola
He say "I know you, you know me"
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me

He bag production he got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his arms so you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me

He roller-coaster he got early warning
He got muddy water he one mojo filter
He say "One and one and one is three"
Got to be good-looking 'cause he's so hard to see

Come together right now over me

Why are vampires so fascinating?

We think that, generally speaking, histories with vampires and mythical creatures are boring and pathethic. Although, we loved to read/watch the Twilight saga from Stephenie Meyer. Why? Well we think that, in Twilight stories, vampires and werewolves are just one methafore to embellish the whole history. This saga retracts no more than a love and friendship story, that actually lead us to make part of it.
We can't disagree more with this whole publicity around vampires and werewolves (creation of imitations of books and series and movies), that only (try) to copy Twilight saga thanks to its success.
Two of us read all of the books and we think they're addicting but we don't want fake copies. And that's our message to those writers: please be original, try to make your own sucess with something actually new.

Lyrics

"We need some hope

We need it now

My real faith can't help me out
I learned to pray,but it's too late now"

Bullet

"Baby I want you like the roses
Want the rain
You know I need you
Like a poet needs the pain
I would give anything
My blood my love my life
If you were in these arms tonight"

In These Arms

"We weren’t born to follow
Come on and get up off your knees
When life is a bitter pill to swallow
You gotta hold onto what you believe
Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow
And that your saints and sinners bleed
We weren’t born to follow
You gotta stand up for what you believe"

We Weren't Born to Follow

This are my favourite part of some Bon Jovi's songs!
