Spanish Film

Oh man, I really want to see this film now!! I hope it’s playing in Mexico sooner than here in the US.

And here’s the official trailer:

Angela is a young reporter for a local TV channel and goes around with her cameraman every night in search of different collectives of people. Tonight they’ll be covering the local firemen and she secretly hopes for an opportunity to capture the story of a great fire.

But the night remains very calm. When they finally receive a call from an old lady who is trapped inside her house, she has no other choice but to follow the firemen and cover their “rescue mission”. When they arrive, the see that the neighbors in the old lady’s building are very frightened. They have been hearing horrifying screams from inside the old lady’s apartment.

The firemen break down the door of the apartment and are followed by Angela and her cameraman. They find the old lady semi-conscious and surrounded by dozens of cats. Suddenly, the old lady jumps on a fireman and starts to bite him like a wild animal to the astonishment of his colleagues… and also right in front of the camera lens.

It’s just the beginning of a long nightmare and of a uniquely dramatic report never seen before on TV: when the other firemen take away their wounded colleague, they discover that the only exit in the entire building has been blocked by the authorities. The building has been quarantined. Apparently, a strange virus has spread inside the building.

Cosplay fans dance illegally in the streets of Akihabara. You have to watch this. it’s an amazing dance sequence that a bunch of online fans met in real life to dance in the streets, SYNCHRONIZED! It’s so sad though that the cops had to show up and scare the shit out of all the performers.

This next video is of a Japanese toy you can simply enjoy watching when you play your music. I’m awfully tempted to buy one for my office. You can purchase this and other imported toys n’ trinkets from AudioCudes.com!

This one last video is disturbing therefore I must use a lj-cut:

This video is disturbing and you may not want to watch it if you love animals!!!

OH and my best friend is in a band. They are called “Give me more” and have video of themselves doing a Red Hot cover by Ellegarden (vocals are done by my best friend Michael who, unfortunately, you can’t hear very well.) They are playing at an Earth Day event the 16th I believe. I will be there with my lighter and head-bang/mosh-pit worthy hair do:
