crush

Via CT un post interesante sobre las 10 pinturas que alguien decidió eran las imperdibles en esta corta vida. Y muy interesante leer los comentarios de la gente que agrega sus favoritas. Yo no me decidí cuáles agregar. Además, aún tengo la cuenta pendiente paar ir a Europa y devastar los museos. Pero creo, lo mejor de ese post, el link una entrevista a Gael García Bernal para The Guardian en la que habla de todo. Les pego una parte que me pareció increíble (por la viveza latinoamericana vio):

Gael Garcia Bernal: I didn't know I wanted to do films until I started to do them. Very few films are made in Mexico and film-making belonged to a very specific group, a clique. And my parents didn't participate in that group - they were more theatre actors. But it just happened. I came to London to study a three-year course, and about a year and a half into it, I was invited to do casting for Amores Perros. I got a phone call from Alejandro González Iñárritu, the director, and he asked me to read something, videotape myself and send it back to him. I had never done casting before in my life, so I did exactly what he told me to do. After that, I got a phone call back from him saying, "Let's do it." So he sends me the script, and I said yes - well, I was going to say yes anyway. But there was one big problem - my school [the Central School of Speech and Drama, London] didn't allow me to work. In England, they don't let you miss school - if you miss school for three days, you get chucked out. In Mexico, this is completely incomprehensible. So I told Alejandro, and he came up with a very good Latin American solution to this problem - he said that a relative was a director of a hospital and he would be able to get me a medical certificate to say that I had contracted some big tropical disease on my last visit to Mexico. That was perfect because I had no hair when I got back here from Amores Perros and people believed me completely. I only missed one week of drama school, so it wasn't that bad. But my movement teacher told me to take it easy and my classmates sent get well cards to me in Mexico, so it was embarrassing.

Yo me quiero casar con Gael.
