I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of shit
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

The Dead Flag Blues
The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
And a dark wind blows
The government is corrupt
And we're on so many drugs
With the radio on and the curtains drawn
We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
And the machine is bleeding to death
The sun has fallen down
And the billboards are all leering
And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles
It went like this
The buildings tumbled in on themselves
Mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble and pulled out their hair
The skyline was beautiful on fire
All twisted metal stretching upwards
Everything washed in a thin orange haze
I said, "Kiss me, you're beautiful..
These are truly the last days"
You grabbed my hand and we fell into it
Like a daydream or a fever
We woke up one morning and fell a little further down
For sure it's the valley of death
I open up my wallet
And it's full of blood
[Godspeed You Black Emperor!]

Oliver Stone y las 'citas célebres' de Bush
LOS ANGELES, 6 (OTR/PRESS) - Con el primer cartel oficial de 'W' el siempre polémico cineasta Oliver Stone ha dejado bien claro cuál será el tono del biopic que prepara sobre el actual presidente de los Estados Unidos. El atípico póster recoge, bajo el título de 'W' y debajo el ya famoso en EE.UU. 'Dub-ya', el mote despectivo por el que sus detractores llaman a Bush y que representa la fonética de pronunciar la W como lo haría un paleto de Texas, una selección de las 'citas célebres' que han salido de la boca del mandatario estadounidense durante las dos legislaturas que ha vivido en la Casa Blanca.
En estas 'perlas', agrupadas bajo el título 'The improbable President', el mandatario muestra todas tus facetas. Así nos encontramos con el Bush humilde: "me siento honrado por estrecharle la mano a un valiente iraquí al que Sadam Hussein amputó las manos". Con el Bush innovador y creativo: "Nuestros enemigos son imaginativos e innovadores, y nosotros también. No dejan de pensar en maneras de dañar a nuestro país y nuestra gente, y nosotros tampoco". El optimista: "Sé que los humanos y los peces podemos coexistir pacíficamente".
Y también con el Bush preocupado por la actualidad y las nuevas tecnologías: "He oído que hay rumores en los internets de que vamos a hacer una llamada a filas", y con el Bush preocupado por la salud de sus conciudadanos y, sobre todo, conciudadanas: "Hay muchos médicos que se están quedando sin trabajo. En este país hay muchos ginecólogos que no pueden practicar su amor por las mujeres".
Hace unos días, Stone ya dejó claro que 'W' sería sátira sobre la figura del presidente, al que dará vida Josh Brolin ('No es país para viejos') más cercana a '¿Teléfono Rojo? Volamos hacia Moscú' que a lo que hizo en 'Nixon'. Cuando presentó la película el cineasta insistió en que intentará dejar sus preferencias ideológicas -muy lejanas a las del presidente- a un lado porque en este proyecto él es "el árbitro" y desea hacer "un retrato justo, verdadero del hombre" y reflejar "cómo pasó Bush de ser un vagabundo alcohólico a convertirse en el hombre más poderoso del mundo". "Contendrá sorpresas para los simpatizantes de Bush y para sus detractores", aseguró Stone, y este cartel es buena prueba de ello.
BUSH Y CIA
Además de Brolin dando vida al presidente número 43 de EE.UU., en 'W' también estarán Elizabeth Banks como Laura Bush; Thandie Newton dando vida a Condoleezza Rice; Jeffrey Wright interpretando a Colin Powell, James Cromwell como George Bush padre; Ellen Burstyn dando vida a la madre de la criatura, Barbara Bush; Richard Dreyfuss como Dick Cheney; Scott Glenn interpretando a Donald Rumsfeld; Toby Jones como Karl Rove; e Ioan Gruffudd que encarnará al primer ministro británico Tony Blair.
El rodaje de 'W' comenzó en abril en Shreveport (Louisiana) y, si se cumplen los plazos, los productores esperan que 'W' puede llegar a las cartelera en noviembre, mes en el que se celebrarán las elecciones presidenciales en Estados Unidos. Pero si hay retrasos imprevistos, su 'Plan B' es estrenarla en enero, cuando se produzca el relevo en la Casa Blanca aprovechando así también el tirón de la actualidad política para hacer caja.
En estas 'perlas', agrupadas bajo el título 'The improbable President', el mandatario muestra todas tus facetas. Así nos encontramos con el Bush humilde: "me siento honrado por estrecharle la mano a un valiente iraquí al que Sadam Hussein amputó las manos". Con el Bush innovador y creativo: "Nuestros enemigos son imaginativos e innovadores, y nosotros también. No dejan de pensar en maneras de dañar a nuestro país y nuestra gente, y nosotros tampoco". El optimista: "Sé que los humanos y los peces podemos coexistir pacíficamente".
Y también con el Bush preocupado por la actualidad y las nuevas tecnologías: "He oído que hay rumores en los internets de que vamos a hacer una llamada a filas", y con el Bush preocupado por la salud de sus conciudadanos y, sobre todo, conciudadanas: "Hay muchos médicos que se están quedando sin trabajo. En este país hay muchos ginecólogos que no pueden practicar su amor por las mujeres".
Hace unos días, Stone ya dejó claro que 'W' sería sátira sobre la figura del presidente, al que dará vida Josh Brolin ('No es país para viejos') más cercana a '¿Teléfono Rojo? Volamos hacia Moscú' que a lo que hizo en 'Nixon'. Cuando presentó la película el cineasta insistió en que intentará dejar sus preferencias ideológicas -muy lejanas a las del presidente- a un lado porque en este proyecto él es "el árbitro" y desea hacer "un retrato justo, verdadero del hombre" y reflejar "cómo pasó Bush de ser un vagabundo alcohólico a convertirse en el hombre más poderoso del mundo". "Contendrá sorpresas para los simpatizantes de Bush y para sus detractores", aseguró Stone, y este cartel es buena prueba de ello.
