Clichés periodísticos
Leyendo noticias de Venezuela y un montón de palabras innecesarias. El vital líquido (agua), se hizo acreedora (ganó), la tierra del sol amada (Maracaibo), precipitación pluvial (lluvia), pulmón vegetal de Caracas (el Ávila), tráfico de vehículos de combustión interna (me gustaría ver cuáles otros ruedan por Caracas).

Puss Fiction
Just watched a clip of a Tarantino interview where he says Mia and Vincent’s dance at Jack Rabbit Slim’s Twist Contest was inspired by “The Aristocats”. Here’s a remix of “The Aristocats” dancing scene.

Real Democracy Utopia
It’s funny when politicians talk about “real” democracy”. That has never existed, it doesn’t exist, and it will not exist. No country can be a “real democracy” once their financial, social, and political structure has been established. Having different ideologies voted into office every 4 years would destroy any country. Communists come, let’s nationalize, 4…

Most underrated film in last 40 years
Watching Paul Verhoeven’s Robocop. This has to be the most underrated science fiction film from the last 40 years. It has everything, social commentary, humor, great cinematography, non stop action, still awesome special effects, perfectly choreographed set pieces, and if you don’t care about any of this, the film is just bloody entertaining. The colors,…

Funny dream with movie stars!
Wake up in my car. I’m in a familiar town but takes me a while to recognize it as the place where I lived back in the 80s. Slight wind, leaves slow motioning over road. The works. I walk a few blocks to my former house and notice everything looks weird. People is not dressed…

Guillermo del Toro and Mazinger Z
To me, this guy was more important than girls for a looong time. After Pacific Rim, it is clear Guillermo del Toro spent hours and hours watching Mazinger in his childhood. And Ultraman. He watched a lot of Ultraman.

Watched Mockingjay
If you make pens filled liquid shit and use it to write uncountable unnecessary adverbs on used toilet paper to tell a billion-times-told story but with impossible teens, and then you use a catapult to launch said shitty book onto a movie screen and splatter shit all over a poor audience that doesn’t know better,…

Self Christmas Gift
Got me a couple of Sinatra albums for Christmas. Both amazing. Like Songs For Swingin’ Lovers Better but any will do for entertaining or just to sit back and relax by yourself.

That night I sat 10 feet from Charlie Watts
Organizing my closet found this flyer of the time I saw Charlie Watts from a first row table at the Blue Note. A friend was visiting from Philly and while walking to a bar we noticed this hanging from the door at the Blue Note. There was no line. We just paid cover and sat…

The future of ISIS
Pirates were no better than ISIS. So I think it’s safe to speculate that in 200 years we’ll have an ISIS Disney ride and a hit movie starring 2215’s Cyber Johnny Depp. Kids will dress like jihadis for Halloween and no one will bat an eye at their adorable little historically inaccurate scimitars. Romantic legends…

Jesus Saves
It’s Friday and I’m partying on the roof of the Ace Hotel with some friends and some pornstars. Naturally, I’m not bored but the view of Downtown during sunset is quite stunning, so I walk to a glass wall and look out. Awesome. 30 seconds later I’m ready to go back but as I turn…

Koreatown, USA
XXL sweaty woman wearing weirdly shining Leggings and dirty Crocs rolls into gas station store dragging two kids and yells at Indian attendant, “Yo, where’s the restroom at fool?” He says, “Sory, no restrum”. She curses him and wobbles her way out to a car where people seems confused about how to use a debit…

Two years in the making
After 2 years slowly rebuilding a Technics SL-1200MK2, today I finally received the last two parts needed to bring it back to life. And it works. Still missing the dustcover and the 45″ adapter but the turntable works fine without those 2. I’ll put them on the list for 2016

Adventurous snail draws Snoopy
Went to Home Depot to buy some plants, unloaded them in front of my apartment, and when I came back from parking found this little stowaway exploring its new surroundings. His sticky path kinda looks like Snoopy.

Lincoln Killer lived fast, died young and left a good-looking corpse

Bad Guys Always Die
Some actors spend their whole lives playing baddies and, naturally, die a lot. On film. Billy Drago is one of those actors and he died on every film I can remember. I think once Chuck Norris even shot him in the balls. And he died. Of course. Or threw him out of a plane over the Amazon. Or…

Buddha or Budai
For as long as I can remember my dad owned a Buddha. He still does. It is a little figurine the size of three standing packs of cigarettes with a green velvet covered bottom that, except for a chipped ear, managed to survive in one piece through our family’s different stages and events. Especially the movings. We moved…

The Boss Is Coming. Look Busy.
We all know the feeling. You are happily checking your Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn/RedTube accounts when all of a sudden your boss materializes 5 steps away from your desk. What to do? I’ll tell you what and you can thank me later. In the past you’d wet your chair while looking at your boss with one eye and checking for a browser tab that showed something…

Foreigners & How To Spot Them
Even though by now most racially insensitive stuff is already out of print in the Western World, you can still find the “classics” online. You can buy “Mein Kampf” in Amazon (used and new from $4.99). And I recently bought a first edition of an American biography of Venezuelan dictator Juan Vicente Gomez in which Venezuelans are described as the expected result…

Billie Holiday: Forever at her peak thanks to photographer
American photographer William P. Gottlieb was responsible for some of the most famous portraits of the golden age of jazz. According to him, Billie Holiday was at her musical and physical peak when he took this picture in 1947, which is considered the most widely used jazz photo of all time. Ironically, that was because…

The Prince of Trinidad
1200 kilometers off the coast of Brazil there’s a small island called Trinidad. It is not the Trinidad of Trinidad and Tobago, but a smaller piece of land covering about 10 square kilometers. No one lives in Trinidad and, in fact, few human beings have set foot on its volcanic hills. However, once upon a…

Mondo Porno: Reality Check Ends Dreams of World Peace
A few months ago a former ENCI contributor stayed in my LA apartment. We had not seen each other for about 5 years but I kept in contact with him and his wife via Facebook. Back then they lived in Massachusetts and we spent hours talking on the phone, but as it often happens with…
