Update 2007-10-02:
I just discovered that NBC has released, during all the Heroes series, graphic novels that “complete” the Heroes story. More details here.

Good stuff NBC!!!

WOW. I’m addicted. Another time.

On June 2007 my friend Nemo wrote a post about his new addiction, Heroes, a brand new american TV Serial:

Heroes is an American science fiction drama television series, created by Tim Kring, which premiered on NBC on September 25, 2006. The show tells the story of several people who “thought they were like everyone else… until they realized they have incredible abilities” such as telepathy, time travel, flight and spontaneous regeneration. These people soon realize they have a role in preventing a catastrophe and saving mankind. The series emulates the writing style of American comic books with short, multi-episode story arcs that build upon a larger, more encompassing arc. Kring said “we have talked about where the show goes up to five seasons.”

Hayden Panettiere - The Cheerleader to Save… to Save the World

I was curious, but at that time I found no time to download see the series. But, 2 weeks ago, I found a torrent with all the First Season.

Here is my progression (on all the 23 episodes):

• Sunday 23th of Septeber 2007: 5 episodes - Level of Addiction: High
• Wednesday 26th of September 2007: 1 episode - Level of Addiction: High
• Friday 28th of September 2007: 4 episodes - Level of Addiction: Very High
• Saturday 29th of September 2007 (yesterday): 13 (!!!) episodes - Level of Addiction: Headache

Now? Now I have ready in my external hard drive the first episode of the Second Season. But… I have also the first episode of House 4x and Grey’s Anatomy 4x.

Help me, pleeeeez!!!

P.S. Every episode is 45 min. long.
P.P.S. Hayden Panettiere, the Cheerleader is an Celestial Creature !
P.P.P.S. Thanks to Nemo, Alhandra, Serage and Luca, my pushers.

There was once a man who had 2 horses, but he couldn’t tell them apart.
So he cut the tail off one, but it didn’t work, because it grew again.
So he cut the mane off one, but it didn’t work, because it grew again.
Then he misured them, and he found that the black hourse was 4cm shorter than the white horse.

-_-

P.S. This “joke” was used (in an interesting teaching way) during my first lesson for the ESOL L1 course in the Southwark College, just started today.
P.P.S. I know: it’s a shame to have a course in Saturday, at 9:30, when you are supposed to sleep. But, what can I do?

From Wikipedia:

Stephen John Fry (born 24 August 1957) is an English comedian, writer, actor, novelist, filmmaker and television personality. The former comedy collaborator of Hugh Laurie, he is also the host of the television panel game QI.

I like this man. I discovered him thanks to Laurie, and reading and watching him I discovered that he is great on his own.

Fry and his FryPhone (is not my idea: is him)

And now he has a blog. Just 2 post, but both interesting a sharper than you can expect from a “Theater/Letterature Man”. Particularly, I suggest the first one about SmartPhones, iPhone and (hypothetical) iPhone-Killers: Devices and Desires.

Best Wishes for Your new “experiment”, Mr. Fry.

P.S. If you want to understand how good is this man as actor, watch “A Bit of Fry and Laurie” (all the 4 seasons): I bought all the DVDs. As soon as I finish my third english-written book, Mortal Fear by Greg Iles, I’ll buy (or I’ll borrow from the Symbian Library) The Liar by Fry: then, I’ll “evaluate” him also as writer.

Uno dei rapporti di forza a cui ogni uomo dovrebbe sempre stare attento è quello tra il potere che ha ed il potere che può gestire. La bilancia dovrebbe pendere SEMPRE dal secondo: questo ci rende ancora “uomini buoni”.

Ma la storia è da sempre scritta da chi col potere si è prima “dissetato”, e poi “ubriacato“.

Vincenzo Conciatori - Il Potere

Caro mio Grillo, ha ragione Daniele Luttazzi a mandarti a Cagare. Questo non cancella il messaggio veicolato dal V-Day e tutto quello che è seguito. Ma aiuta ad aggiungerne uno nuovo, che tante persone hanno DA SUBITO cercato di sottolineare:

Seguite il Grillo Messaggio! Non il Grillo Uomo!

Definire Mastella solo un “capro espiatorio”:

Non ci sto più al gioco al massacro ceppalonico. Mastella è solo un capro espiatorio. Il migliore sulla piazza della politica, certo. Per questo hanno scelto lui.
Ma l’indulto non è una sua idea, ne sono convinto. Gli è stato ordinato. Da chi? Dal Parlamento. E chi nel Parlamento lo ha spinto di più? Lui, lo psiconano. Quello che straparla di sicurezza nelle piazze con la badante rossa. Mastella ha detto più volte di aver ricevuto la solidarietà di Berlusconi per l’indulto. Ci credo. L’indulto è servito a non fare entrare in carcere gli amministratori corrotti, non a liberare i pregiudicati.
…

Abbiamo atteso 5 anni che se ne andasse a fare in culo berlusconi, e non dico che non sia ancora lui a muovere i fili più importanti… ma dire che Mastella è una marionetta, una vittima di un Parlamento che “gli ha fatto fare l’indulto”… pliis, Vaffanculo TU Beppe.

P.S. Cerco di seguire quanto più mi è possibile quello che accade a Casa Mia, e davvero mi dispiace tanto tornare a scrivere un post in italiano… per una cosa così “triste”.

My friend Manu, after she has Simpsonized her boyfriend and her self, she wasted her time Simpsonizing Me!

Here is the result:

Yeah, I have the face of a Serial Killer, haven’t I? Or… just of a “pesc eh nicolò” (sorry, I can’t translate it)!

Saw 4 is on is way. And who LOVE this series knows that will be very very… very difficult to make something better than the previous movies. But this clip, with the autopsy of JigSaw, is just PERFECT!!!
Everything as usual: unexpected and bleeding.

Probably… a little bit of spoilering… or not? I think not! Take a look and let me know.

By the way, I putted it after “continue…” because the images very horrifying (I’d say “amazing”, but someone will think I’m a Serial Killer ).
