“Some people, when they have taken too much and have been driven beyond the point of endurance, simply crumple and give up. There are others, though they are not many, who will for some reason always be unconquerable. You meet them in time of war and time of peace. They have an indomitable spirit and nothing, neither pain nor torture nor threat of death, will cause them to give up.”

Roald Dhal, The Swan

Ayer fue 9/6 o 6/9 para quienes lean la fecha al revés, eso significa según nuestras investigaciones que ese día tenía una connotación temática divertida y con la que todos podemos identificarnos en mayor o menor grado: el sexo.

Es por esto que queremos recomendarles una lectura para disfrutar de los placeres de un hombre tan vividor como lo es Oswald Cornelius, cuyo libro empieza con la cita más representativa de las inclinaciones humanas, “me encanta retozar”, afirmación que resulta llamativa por su simplicidad y sinceridad, del mismo modo en que el sexo atrae por ser tan natural y estar cargado de emociones placenteras o deseadas.

Junto con la historia de Perra y El gran cambiazo, sin duda se disfrutará más allá de la sensualidad propuesta para la celebración del día y llegaremos a reírnos con las insólitas peripecias del personaje por las más excéntricas razones.

Weekend Top Ten #245

Top Ten Actors Who Could Play Willy Wonka

So apparently they’re making a new Willy Wonka movie. I’m fine with that. The 1970s version is very fondly remembered, but not – in my humble opinion – the best possible adaptation of the material, despite Gene Wilder’s sublime turn. And Tim Burton’s version was stylistically interesting but added unnecessary backstory (and I was not keen on Depp’s portrayal of Wonka, either). So, yeah, make a new one. That’s fine. Shoot it back-to-back with Glass Elevator if you want.

But wait, what’s this?! It’s not actually a new adaptation. It’s sort of a prequel. Sort of an origin story. Okay, fine, I’ll go with that.

So anyway, as is common for these things, I’m going to indulge in some fantasy casting, and think of ten actors that I think would be great as Wonka. What am I looking for? Well, in my opinion anyway, a certain degree of tall-and-skinny-ness is appreciated, although I can be flexible; certainly, they need some acting chops, and I kinda think singing-and-dancing chops too, if possible; they need to be funny, but also potentially a bit sinister; and just have that twinkle that makes you like ‘em. They don’t even have to be British, as – so far – the definitive screen Wonka is not. So it can be done, clearly.

Right, here we go then. Wonk this way…

Oh, and I know this news broke ages ago. But I like to be all contemporary, if I can, and Halloween and a big frickin’ election got in the way.
