one day

one day, i will not fulfill a dream that's already broken.
one day, one of those days that never come, i might make a wish come true, although some people around me tell me that i'll fail.
one day, i'll be blissfully happy, because i'll know that this happiness will last forever.
one day, i'll be serene, for i'll know nothing can ever go wrong.
one day, i'll be able to relax, take one deep breath, and smile without fear of the future.
one day, i'll be able to trust someone without being betrayed after a year or so.
one day, i'll be able to open a gate, say "i'm home", and one person, who will be dearest to my heart, will come and greet me.
one day, i'll have seen every country on earth.
one day,









one day.






i think i'll be dead when that one day comes.

2012: Roland Emmerich goes boom!




A couple o' days ago, because of the stress that results from approaching exams, along with other deadlines to be met, I felt I needed to go watch a movie that did not require me to turn my neurons on; more precisely, I wanted to see a film overloaded with visual effects, explosions, wacky technology, and a plot that can stand on a tube ticket and still have some space to stretch out. I remembered Emmerich to have directed "The day after tomorrow" (yet another end-of-the-world-with-cataclysms-on-top motion picture), which was almost bearable (too much water though), and I assumed that with 2012, the director would lay an egg of the same genre. Well, I wasn't disappointed: Emmerich literally blew the Earth away... or so I thought during the first hour approximately (out of 2h45...yah). Alas this "end" of the world is not a real one: the Earth is still there after all elements have everything going to smithereens, and even some humans survive! I couldn't help feeling betrayed by the whole thing.
After all those spectacular ever-so-American earthquakes, tsunamis and floods, the Yellowstone turning into the biggest super-volcano on the planet, Hawaii disappearing under a molten river and so on, humanity manages to go rebuild itself... in Africa! Of course, there's an enormous Christian background here: believing from some Mayan calendar and a random scientist's observations (there's always a scientist in that kind of movies, it injects some credibility into the mess), the world will "end" on December 21st 2012. Only said world decided to surprise everyone by ending 3 months earlier! In the meantime, governments (especially, of course, the American one) are secretly building "arches", ships that are supposed to host 100,000 people per vessel, and... how astonishing! A pair of each animal species! Of course, some tickets are required to get aboard, and they are available for the bargain of one billion dollars. No, wait, euros (to make it sound even more expensive). It is obvious that "common" people, those who are neither presidents, nor politicians, nor filled to the brim with money, will just have to stay where they are and get crushed by some random piece of L.A's 2-storey highway ramp, or burned by a fireball that just happened to soar upwards from Mount Fuji, got tired of it all and changed its soaring direction.
Anyway, the film's actually centered on a Sci-Fi writer, divorced from his wife (who got a plastic surgeon as a boyfriend and keeps the progeniture: a little girl and a dumb rebellious boy), who attempts to escape the series of natural disasters and save his family (along with the plastic surgeon, who has the mighty idea of managing to pilot an aeroplane, useful chum!).
As "common" sense suggests it, everything starts in the U.S with the Yellowstone suddenly turning into a hot spot, and basically everyone runs/flies/whatever to reach the Noah's arches (you'd think they built spaceships, but no, they just made huge bloody submarines), and humans constructing their new home in the "cradle of life", namely Africa, which by a lucky coincidence, got lifted up by 1500km and avoided the floods. We progressively discovered that the poles have been inverted, the South Pole stands somewhere in the middle of Kentucky (chickiiiiin!), and continents have been moved because the lithosphere beneath has melted, because of the sun shooting too many neutrons into our planet's kernel.
So there, anarchy is all over the place; add to it a few reekingly melodramatical farewells ("goodbye daddy" "naaaawwww I love you!" etc), some hearbreakingly desperate effusions ("leave me behind *cough* "Let's stick together til the end!"), a bit of kid humour (the chihuahua survives, damnit!), and you get 2012. It's a fun movie to watch (with earmuffs), if you need to stop thinking for 2h40mn, and if you enjoy disappointing endings (did I mention how horrible the actors were?).
I still recommend watching it, so you can see the extent of nowadays' visual effects technology. It's one hell of a show! Still, try having someone else buy you the ticket; you don't want to waste your money on something which plot was worse than Quantum of Solace!

monde de fous

je croyais avoir tout vu... eh ben non.
Dans Zelda Master Quest, on trouve des vaches coincées dans un poisson géant.
je overflow, là.
