Sinopsis:

Bran tuvo una adolescencia complicada, y su vida adulta no es mejor. Una sucesión de pérdidas familiares, una gran cicatriz en la cara y sus circunstancias personales han forjado en ella una personalidad esquiva.

Y como si fuera una maldición añadida, la protagonista hereda y debe hacerse cargo de una casa familiar, epicentro de buena parte de las desgracias que se abatieron sobre sus seres queridos.

Una visita a la enmohecida y arruinada vivienda, ubicada en un pequeño pueblo madrileño, sumergirá a Bran en una travesía angustiante por túneles oscuros, estancias claustrofóbicas y seres terroríficos.

    Yeah, both the book and the movie are pretty cringy. What I meant was that the creepyness of the story is dilluted due to a casting error.

      These four movies are good, Barry Lyndon a bit boring. In my opinion, The Shining is the best of the four, or at least the one that is a unique piece.

      I'm a big fan of the movie and the Stephen King's book. I consider both to be totally different stories with a somewhat similar plot and characters with the same names and I like them for different reasons.

      Regarding the movie Lolita, it's OK, but the depiction of the eponymous character there invalidates somewhat the overall idea: Sue Lyon (the actress) looks too adult for what the book is trying to convey. The character in the book is clearly pre-pubescent and looks like a child.

        Tampoco es tan triste que desaparezca como marca. Los que ya tenemos una edad y hemos tenido coches de esos no la recordamos con especial cariño (salvo nostalgia simulada).

        Lo que sí sería triste para mí es que esa desaparición supusiese pérdidas de puestos de trabajo, que no lo sé aunque tampoco me extrañaría.

                Por lo que yo he leído es un «dispara y olvida», no hay colas de reintento ni nada porque es algo a muy bajo nivel. En mi casa, a mi mujer le llegó y a mí no, y los móviles estaban uno al lado del otro (somos de compañías diferentes, pero se supone que eso no debería afectar).

                Mi experiencia personal: es un error. @luisgarciareal@social.politicaconciencia.org lo ha comentado muy bien. Te echarás encima un montón de trabajo muy poco (es decir, nada) agradecido. Y más aún si lo que le estás poniendo es un equipo antiguo, porque eso empeorará aún más su experiencia.

                                                On the radar: shrinking the Emacs C core

                                                Another one of those "I'm Eric Raymond and I'm here to help you" moments:

                                                He showed up on the Emacs list wanting to thrash up much of the core editor code for some secret project that he didn't want to tell anybody about... the reaction was about as might have been expected. It did, though, kick off an extensive discussion on how much of the editor should be implemented in Lisp and whether moving C code to Lisp makes sense.

                                                      Yesterday’s Mystery Person was Karen Silkwood.

                                                      From Wikipedia: Karen Silkwood was an American chemical technician and labor union activist known for raising concerns about corporate practices related to health and safety in a nuclear facility.

                                                      She worked at the Kerr-McGee Cimarron Fuel Fabrication Site in Oklahoma, making plutonium pellets, and became the first woman on the union's negotiating team.

                                                        Wait, are there any movie with a title that isn't made automatically funnier by adding "...Between my Legs"?

In the flatter surfaces at the end.

                                                                                How difficult could be to find another collaborator? You may have one or two different bands simultaneously, apart from the one you already have. You may even give different musical approachings to these different projects.

                                                                                Just guessing. It's hard when you feel a collaborator is lagging the final work. I wish you luck.

                                                                                      Can't you both agree on some part of the material to be published right now, and keep working on the rest for, say, a second album, or an extended one?

You say that it's garbage without explicitly saying it. It may even give birth to a real interchange of ideas. Mentioning the books you liked instead may even prove positive for everybody involved.

It's a remarkable example of the "whole is much better than the parts": the start is a bit boring, the pseudo-dialogs with the fish are a bit silly and the climax is a bit disappointing, but when you close it you get the feeling that you experienced something great.

                                                                                                              What is always superb in his work is the language economy, the to-the-point sentences, the lack of useless words and meaningless descriptions. Hemingway invented the modern prose and all of us readers and writers owe him a drink.

No existe una categoría masculina: está la general, en la que pueden participar hombres y mujeres, y una femenina, en la que solo participan mujeres. Una mujer puede elegir libremente en cuál de ellas quiere jugar.

                                                                                                                  Aunque antiguamente se llamaba torneo «masculino», siempre se han podido presentar mujeres. Fue en 1986 cuando Susan Polgar [1] llegó a semifinales y le tuvieron que cambiar el nombre a la categoría y esta pasó a ser general.

What an existential horror.

                                                                                                                                            The Vincent Price one is probably the most faithful to the book, but it seems like done on a severe budget with no passion. Probably a product of its time, as you say.

                                                                                                                                            The Charlton Heston one is the most different. Basically, the "new people" are mostly proto-goth vampire/zombie mishmash. Mr. Rifle shoots them from a car while driving. Very forgettable.

                                                                                                                                            I may be a little rude on the 2007 one, but all Will Smith movies feel the same to me. This one deserved to be better, but the end is so disappointing.

The special effects (given 1957) are pretty good, and I remember it giving me the creeps when I watched it when I was a kid.

All three are crap.
