Cine: Eric

Johnny (Jesse Bradford) tiene un objetivo claro a pesar de atravesar una etapa confusa de su vida: quiere ser un piloto de carreras. Su destino es Charlotte, Carolina del Norte, pero su presente lo encuentra buscando fondos mientras deambula por las iluminadas calles de Las Vegas.

Allí conoce un mundo de decadencia y vicios, pero también a su mejor amigo, Eric (Jordan Brower), un muchacho que vive con una amiga de su madre (Daryl Hannah) tras el deceso de ésta. Eric, como sus compañeros de tropelías (entre los que se destaca Steve, interpretado por Jonathan Taylor Thomas), se dedica al robo y a la prostitución masculina (en su caso, sus clientes son varones). Sin embargo, a diferencia de estos, Eric es un joven gay que está profundamente enamorado de Johnny, a pesar de saber que tal clase de afecto jamás será correspondido. Ese es su mayor dolor: el de dar por sentado que su amigo jamás se interesará por él de esa forma.

También conocido como "Adicto a la velocidad", "Speedway Junky" (1999) es producido por Gus Van Sant, quien ya tocó una temática similar en "Mi mundo privado" ("My Own Private Idaho", 1991), reseñado en este blog. Marcó el debut en el largometraje del director y también guionista Nickolas Perry, quien aquí ha dado roles de importancia a actores destacados como Tiffany-Amber Thiesen, Patsy Kensit o Milo Ventimiglia.

Cinematic Underdogs: Cult Hits That Didn’t Cash In

We often take the popularity of certain movies that are now regarded cult classics for granted in the lengthy history of cinema. But is this

John F. Kennedy Jr and Daryl Hannah. According to Steven M. Gillon’s recent biography America’s Reluctant Prince: The Life of John F. Kennedy Jr., Kennedy and Hannah first met in the early ‘80s while on respective family vacations in Saint Martin. “John found it odd that Daryl seemed to carry a teddy bear with her wherever she went, but also found her fascinating,” Gillon writes of their initial meeting. They were introduced by Hannah’s billionaire stepfather Jerrold Wexler, who’d made large contributions to the presidential campaign of Ted Kennedy, John's uncle. However, it wasn’t until they met again at the wedding of John's aunt, Lee Radziwill, to director Herb Ross in 1988, that they began dating. Gillon, a friend to John as well as a historian said in an interview: “John just found Daryl so self-absorbed.” In America’s Reluctant Prince he writes that while Jackie was in the hospital in New York, just days ahead of her death in 1994, John was in L.A. for the funeral of Hannah’s dog — yep. Fueling the absurdity of the story, Hannah then got angry with John because he hadn’t chosen a more elaborate box for the dog’s ashes. “That just infuriated him,” Gillon told us. “And even after [Jackie] died, Daryl had another dog that was sick and John was up in Martha's Vineyard or Hyannis Port, and Daryl's on the phone talking about her dog all the time and John is there in the kitchen with [his longtime friend] Sasha Chermayeff, and he says, ‘Can you believe this. I just lost my mom and all she wants to talk about is her sick dog.’” Though “in his mind, the relationship had already ended,” Kennedy knew he couldn’t let a public breakup distract from Jackie’s passing, hence the aforementioned roller blading outing. By August of 1994, about three months after Jackie’s death, Kennedy and Hannah had split for good. Via InStyle. #jfkjr #darylhannah #90s https://www.instagram.com/p/CP_c-EWndXw/?utm_medium=tumblr

That one time I met Daryl Hannah @dhlovelife and she told me my tail was prettier than hers (in 'Splash') and all my little girl 9 year old fantasies came true :) We were both speaking on stage at EARTH DAY LA Eco event in 2010. Not only was she the best mermaid I've ever seen, she is also a badass eco-environmentalist! 💕🙏🧜‍♀️ Respect to the OG! . . #darylhannah #hannahmermaid #hannahfraser #mermaids #mermaidhair #mermaidtail #earthdayla #ogmermaid #oceanconservation #eco #activists #savetheocean (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CREnWj9LnLq/?utm_medium=tumblr

Kill Bill: Volume 1 & 2 (2003 & 2004)

Having sat through volumes 1 and 2 of Kill Bill back-to-back has changed the way I see them. The right way - the only way - they should be viewed is one after another. Separating them only makes sense if you can't sit through the whole bloody ordeal and since you'll be catching them at home today, that "Pause" button will be your friend. 

Uma Thurman plays The Bride a.k.a. Black Mamba. She was a member of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad until she decided to quit and settle down. Her former allies, led by her boss, Bill (David Carradine), massacred her wedding party and left her for dead. When she wakes from her coma, "The Bride" promises revenge for the child she lost.

Combined, Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2 runs over 4 hours, but it doesn’t feel long. There is so much variety in the action, the dialogue is so snappy and the characters so memorable characters that you're always hoping for a little more. A love letter to spaghetti western, blaxploitation, Chinese wuxia, Japanese yakuza & samurai films, kung fu flicks, and rape-revenge movies, you can feel Tarantino's excitement. The mashup shouldn't work, but it does. One scene is realistic, down to earth. The next has blood gushing out like geysers. Then, some animation gets sprinkled in before we jump into a black-and-white flashback. Every new chapter reinvents the film's visual identity.

Kill Bill has its cake and eats it too because of the running time. All those minutes allow for both engrossing character moments and one ballet of violence after another. You get to know and understand every opponent the Bride faces and their gimmicks too. You might even come to like the people on her list - despite their vile quirks - because so many have great scenes dedicated just to themselves.

To pick a favorite among everything is tough. If I were to choose, I’d pick Chiaki Kuriyama as Gogo, a sadistic 17-year-old who fights with a kusarigama and has the best and most imaginative fight in the whole movie. When it comes to the dialogue, the washed-up former assassin Budd a.k.a. Sidewinder (Michael Madsen) getting chewed out by his boss takes the cake. Anytime I hear “Calendar time for Buddy” I get chills of excitement. There is no shortage of “favorite" moments or characters. They range from comical, dramatic, frightening, and everything in between. A speech by Bill about Superman, (which he gets completely wrong) is entertaining because it’s so well written.

In addition to standing on its own as a kick-ass martial arts flick, "Kill Bill" is a way to introduce others to the genres it borrows from. You’ll be watching Bloodsport and your friends will think to themselves “Hey wait a minute, didn’t Quentin Tarantino refer to this movie in that other movie you just showed me?” It's a jumping point from which you can discover a genre of movies you might've never otherwise been interested in.

The first "half" is all about the fights. There's just enough story to make you care about who’s who. The second half is all about character development. While its conflicts aren't as big of flashy, they’re more intense because the opponents are tougher, the stakes are higher and you're always inching closer to that single, final confrontation. It makes the time you spent sitting feel like it's racing by. Kill Bill is a lovingly made, surprisingly deep, and well-acted film with great dialogue, memorable scenes, iconic characters and plenty of unforgettable moments. On paper, it seems like a lot to sit through but once you're in, you'll be eager to revisit this picture. (Theatrical version on the big screen, February 3, 2015)
