Pesadilla antes de Navidad

25 años de este cuento de navidad.

What’s this?

What’s this? What’s this?
There’s color everywhere
What’s this?
There’s white things in the air
What’s this?

I can’t believe my eyes
I must be dreaming
Wake up, Jack, this isn’t fair
What’s this?
What’s this? What’s this?
There’s something very wrong
What’s this?
There are people singing songs
What’s this?

The streets are lined with
Little creatures laughing
Everybody seems so happy
Have I possibly gone daffy?

What is this?
What’s this?

There are children throwing snowballs
instead of throwing heads
They’re busy building toys
And absolutely no one’s dead
There’s frost on every window
I can’t believe my eyes
And in my bones I feel a warmth
That’s coming from inside
Oh, look
What’s this?

They’re hanging mistletoe, they kiss?
Why that looks so unique, inspired
They’re gathering around to hear a story
Roasting chestnuts on a fire
What’s this?
What’s this?

In here they’ve got a little tree, how queer
And who would ever think
And why?
They’re covering it with tiny little things
They’ve got electric lights on strings
And there’s a smile on everyone
So, now, correct me if I’m wrong

This looks like fun
This looks like fun

Oh, could it be I got my wish?
What’s this?
Oh my, what now?
The children are asleep
But look, there’s nothing underneath
No ghouls, no witches here to scream and scare them
Or ensnare them, only little cozy things
Secure inside their dreamland… *sigh*
What’s this?

The monsters are all missing
And the nightmares can’t be found
And in their place there seems to be
Good feeling all around
Instead of screams, I swear
I can hear music in the air
The smell of cakes and pies
Are absolutely everywhere
The sights, the sounds

They’re everywhere and all around
I’ve never felt so good before
This empty place inside of me is filling up
I simply cannot get enough
I want it, oh, I want it
Oh, I want it for my own
I’ve got to know
I’ve got to know
What is this place that I have found?
What is this?
Christmas Town, hmm…

Batman de Tim Burton

El 23 de Junio se cumplieron 25 años del estreno en Estados Unidos de «Batman» (1989, Tim Burton).

Esta película resulto el trampolín de Tim Burton y su estilo propio de ver el cine. Creó a un Batman oscuro y sóbrio a partir de un actor que no prometía mucho como encapuchado (Michael Keaton) y donde el malo acabaría llevándose el protagonismo (Jack Nicholson).

Escenas míticas como la primera aparición del Batmóvil o Bruce Weyne durmiendo boca abajo como los murciélagos, pero sobre todo una banda sonora de Danny Elfman que si bien le pone el colofón en el final de la película con la batseñal ondeando en las nubes, no menos impresionante es el principio que ya anuncia el ambiente oscuro en el que nos adentramos.

Alicia en el pais de las maravillas

Vuelve Tim Burton a hacer una película que parece pensada para el mismo. «Alicia en el pais de las maravillas», para el 2010.

Alicia será interpretada por Mia Wasikowska, australiana de 18 añitos. No sabemos si sobrina de Willy Wonka, película que ya dirigió Burton. Además, los eternos actores que acompañan al director, Johnny Depp, Christopher Lee, y la Sr. Burton Helena Bonham Carter.
