Lack of updates!

2009-01-02T20:13:00.000-08:00

Guys, I'm really sorry for not being able to update for the last.... well long time! But I kind of lost interest in posting. I practicly abandoned all of my blogs. I was kind of ready to let go on my blogs but I suddenly went on track again and I really just thought if I'd invested all this time already it'd be a shame to quit now. So Here I am, trying to post for the first time again.

So this time I'll try to be present as much as I can.

Thanks again and thanks for the waiting ;)

Marie Antoinette, Boo la la!

2006-05-24T23:22:00.000-07:00

Apparently, Marie Antoinette first screening presentation at Cannes did not do any good. After the credits of the film were over people (mostly critics and film writers) started booing, Sure, there was some applause mixed in there as well, and it wouldn't be fair to say the booing was especially loud or persistent. But still.

At a news conference immediately afterward, Coppola, who did not attend the morning screening, was asked about this. "I don't know about the boos," said the Oscar-winning (for her "Lost in Translation" script) filmmaker, blinking, looking a little startled. "It's news to me."
She added, "Well, that's disappointing to hear." Then Coppola rallied: "It's better to get a reaction; it's better than a mediocre response. Hopefully, some people will enjoy it. I think it's not for everybody."

So, what's in this movie's future? time will tell.

In the mean time, let's hope audiences receive it in a much better way since it is opening this week in France. In America we'll have to wait until middle october...

Happy Birthday

ABOUT ME
Well, what can I say about me and this blog. I guess I should start with the basics, my name is Fernando i'm a 21 years old "young-adult". I live in Baja, Mexico I enjoy going to the movies, listening to music, writing screenplays and everything envolving the 7th art. I also hope one day to become a filmmaker and make a living out of filmmaking. Right now i'm studying a major in Modern languages and working part time as an English teacher.

ABOUT THIS BLOG...

I've always admired the way Sofia creates art by transmiting such a deep feeling and emotion like no one else. I have always felt related to her movies and all of her work always touches a sensible fiber in me. She is the woman of the new millenium: Intelligent, beautiful and stylish. unfortunately there are not many sites around on the net devoted to her, So, I decided to create a blog whose main goal is to keep the trace and inform people interested in her work and what she's been up to. I also decided to write this blog in english since I believe it'll reach more people no matter where they are.

So take a look around and don't hesitate in leaving posts. Criticism and suggestions are more than welcome... hope you enjoy your steady!
