Patton Oswalt's new hour special is coming out early next year. Called Tragedy Plus Comedy Equals Time, the special will debut on the cable network Epix on Friday, January 17th. Filmed at Spreckels Theater in San Diego earlier this year, this is Oswalt's third hour special, following 2009's My Weakness Is Strong and 2011's Finest Hour, which both aired on Comedy Central. Oswalt is a big get for Epix, who have been ramping up their standup department recently, having released specials from Jim Norton, Jim Breuer, Sherri Shepherd, and Tom Papa in the last year.

Sarah Silverman's 'We Are Miracles': A Proudly Filthy Comic at the Top of Her Game

by Josiah Hughes
by Josiah Hughes

While fans of her 2005 special, Jesus Is Magic, will not be disappointed with the material in Sarah Silverman's highly anticipated new release, there is no denying that this pot and poop loving comic has grown up a bit. There's still plenty here to offend the wince-ready audiences with no patience for AIDS jokes and religious irreverence, but when placed next to her smash-hit special from eight years ago, with We Are Miracles Silverman has taken her format of childish prodding and wrapped it in a provocative message of therapy and social commentary.

“At the Largo? That's, like, barely 300 seats!” a tattooed Mexican laughs with his car-full of friends during the cold-open of the film, after Silverman explained to them she's about to shoot an HBO special at the club. “Well, I'm actually doing it in the littler room,” she clarifies, admitting that she'll be performing for only 39 people, which inspires laughs and suggestions that she get a new agent from the vatos outside the club.

Yet it's hardly groundbreaking that Silverman would choose to place her special inside the intimate, cafe-like walls of The Largo's smallest room. Just last month, Marc Maron's Thinky Pain brought fans inside the close quarters of Greenwhich Village's Le Poisson Rouge, which was practically the Hollywood Bowl compared to last year's The Special Special Special!, where Maria Bamford was filmed before an audience of only her mother and father. Whether it's standup becoming comfortable as a respected institution that doesn't need to prove itself with massive audiences, or that provocative material works best with miniature crowds, there seems to be a trend with the hippest comedians preferring clubs that resemble a city council meeting in Buford, Wyoming.

It's difficult to say whether this makes it more or less awkward when Silverman confronts the audience with a bristly set-up, such as why rape jokes are great (“who's gonna complain about a rape joke? I'd say rape victims, but they're traditionally not complainers”), or why 9/11 widows give great handjobs (which was probably the only moment during the show where Silverman took a huge risk and bombed). Though these kind of I-dare-you-to-laugh-at-this jokes have been Silverman's speciality for years, and anyone who would walk out on comments about iPhone gang-bang porn or that Jesus wouldn't have been famous if the Jews hadn't killed him, was surely not familiar with the salty comic's reputation.

Those same anal-retentives may balk at the idea that you can be a feminist while joking about rape and tossing around the words like “cunt,” but in my view there are few voices today who are illustrating the fucked up world that women still confront in the twenty-first century quite like Silverman. “I want to tell all the women in here that you don't need a vaginal deodorant,” she says, asserting that greedy corporations are plaguing on insecure girls with fabricated problems. “Just use whatever you wash your asshole with, surely that's strong enough for your 'disgusting' vagina. And if there's still a rancidness, go to the doctor. Don't spray perfume on it, that's what a crazy person would do.”

More than just a concern for media-assaulted young women, Silverman tackles a whole buffet of social issues, like those who preach the merits of dog shelter adoption over breeders, yet never consider orphanages over birthing their own babies (“If Africa was all labradoodles dying of AIDS, we'd take care of it in one day”), or how those who constantly complain about the world being against them are in desperate need of some self reflection, at one point asking the direct question “are you living a conscious life?”

Watching a decades-old performance of herself while appearing on Season 3 of Louie last year, Silverman had concluded that “I look even better now,” at the age of 42. This sentiment is undeniably true – performing in daisy dukes and two-tone stalkings during We Are Miracles, she is more than ever the epitome of comedy-nerd pinup – and could be equally applied to her standup skills. While there is some one-dimensional Republican bashing, a Scientology joke told months earlier on Seinfeld's deplorable internet series, and a closing song about cunts that goes nowhere, for the most part Sarah Silverman's latest special stands as a monument to a comedian who long-ago mastered the utility of crafting jokes, and is now seasoned enough to use the skill to say something truly profound.

5 Reasons the English Language Makes No Freaking Sense

By Kate Peregrina  Published: November 27th, 2013  As much as we might judge people for their bad spelling, the truth is that English spelling doesn't make any goddamn sense. Just look at that sentence: Why is there an "n" but no "n" sound in "goddamn"? It turns out there's one perfectly good reason

The Shield: un tipo de policía diferente

by Alberto N. García

The Shield 1

No hay ficción televisiva que se abra y se cierre mejor que The Shield. El primer asalto es salvaje: una crochet de realismo sucio y adrenalina en la jungla de asfalto, una hora que castiga el hígado hasta noquearte. «Lo del poli bueno y el poli malo se acabó por hoy. Yo soy un tipo de policía diferente», clama Vic Mackey antes de partirle los dientes a un pederasta en la sala de interrogación. ¡Donggg!

Como el protagonista, The Shield (FX, 2002-08) también es un relato diferente, arriesgado, que aspira a contar «esas historias que podías ver en The Shield y no encontrar en ninguna otra serie», como confesaba su creador, Shawn Ryan. Unas veces empleando la sutileza del planchazo en la cara y otras optando por la suavidad del tiro en la cabeza. Enérgica, brutal y ambigua hasta lo insoportable, la trama agarra al espectador por las pelotas y no lo suelta hasta su imborrable adiós, el más deslumbrante que ha ofrecido la serialidad contemporánea. Siempre fue un chute adictivo y cañero, pero su séptima y última temporada —capaz de competir en agonía e intensidad con la quinta de Breaking Bad la aupó al Olimpo, multiplicando el sentido narrativo y la implicación emocional del viaje que el espectador había recorrido con los personajes.

Un órdago que lo cambió todo

Sin embargo, a pesar de su grandeza, The Shield no goza por estos lares del predicamento que se merece. Su mayor pecado, al menos en España, es no haber venido con el sello de la HBO. La falta de denominación de origen ha provocado que el establishment cultural nunca haya terminado de hincarle el diente; siempre ha quedado a la sombra de Los Soprano o The Wire y aún hoy pululan seriéfilos de relumbrón que nunca la han catado. Jot Down, hasta ahora, tampoco. Para quien esto escribe, The Shield está a la altura de las más grandes, en el top 5. Sin asomo de duda.

Para empezar, su relevancia industrial es clave para entender el boom televisivo. The Shield fue un envite a grande del canal FX, un intento por emular precisamente la estrategia de la HBO para incrementar imagen de marca a través de las ficciones propias. La primera temporada de las aventuras de Vic Mackey supuso un éxito de crítica y público, acaparando Globos de Oro (mejor serie y actor principal). Y, sobre todo, demostrando que la ficción propia de los canales de cable básico también resultaba viable. El éxito de The Shield hizo que FX, desde unos presupuestos mucho más modestos que los de los canales premium, avivara el paisaje: encadenó éxitos con Nip/Tuck y Rescue Me y en los últimos años ha sido responsable de los shakesperianos acelerones de Sons of Anarchy, del centrifugado del yo en Louie, del rumbero desparrame de Archer o de las imprescindibles Justified o The Americans. Aún más: sería difícil imaginar el despegue de la ficción propia en canales como la AMC o USA Network sin el órdago que ganó la FX con The Shield (esa ambición del todo-o-nada explica, por cierto, el descenso a tumba abierta del debut; Shawn Ryan admite que habría necesitado cuatro o cinco capítulos para batir el conflicto principal a punto de nieve, pero entonces, sin esa cuchillada inesperada, el piloto nunca habría sido elegido… y Farmington no existiría).

the-shield-3

Un policíaco vérité con alma de jazz

La primera metralla de The Shield es estética y provino de convertir la necesidad en virtud. La puesta en escena —desarreglada, incómoda, eléctrica— arroja al espectador en medio de la acción, transmitiéndole la tensión física de que en cualquier momento pueden volar las balas y las bofetadas. La escasez del presupuesto obligaba a grabar a la carrera, aprovechando los escenarios urbanos y apostando por una cámara al hombro que permitiera sortear grandes planificaciones. Un rodaje con tácticas de guerrilla y unos operadores de cámara con alma de Charlie Parker, abiertos a la improvisación jazzística durante cada toma. Esto fue aprovechado por Clark Johnson —el director de las premieres y las season finales de The Shield y The Wire— para imprimir un ritmo vertiginoso, atropellado, saturado de zooms, desenfoques y reenfoques violentos; un estilo tan caótico y desapacible como la agresiva urbe que se retrata. Con su traqueteo de reporterismo bélico, el aroma de documental vérité multiplicaba el realismo de la historia, alejándolo de la zona de confort de tantos procedimentales. Fondo y forma encajaban como un guante.

Con esta propuesta tan especiada y rompedora, The Shield rápidamente cosió su nombre al linaje del mejor policíaco contemporáneo: es fácil rellenar la línea de puntos que arranca de Hill Street Blues en los ochenta, pasa por Homicide y NYPD Blue en los noventa y desemboca torrencialmente en The Shield y The Wire, que se estrenó unos meses después (su canto de cisne sería la sobresaliente Southland). Dramas policiales que trataban de innovar estética, narrativa y éticamente, productos que ansiaban acercar el hedor de la calle al salón de casa y proponer caracteres complejos y contradictorios, héroes-hijos-de-puta que obligaran al espectador a recapacitar en gris moral.

Inspirada en el «escándalo Rampart» —un sarampión de corrupción y abuso policial que sacudió al poder angelino a finales de los noventa— The Shield refuerza ese tono áspero y nada complaciente desde su premisa y su explosivo piloto. Polis manchados, personajes que siempre persiguen una agenda oculta, un hervidero racial y la puerta de atrás de una de las ciudades más opulentas del mundo, lejos del glamour esterilizado de Venice Beach y Rodeo Drive. Con empuje realista, sacando partido de ese sol abrasador de Los Angeles, los protagonistas patrullan una ciudad herida por el miedo e inundada de lunáticos, one-niners y lumis con dentadura oxy.

The Shield fotografía una metrópolis desquiciada, donde el contrato social ha saltado por los aires y cualquier ciudadano esconde un sádico en potencia. La barbarie de algunas escenas —una cara quemada contra un fuego de cocina, un castigo-tatuaje a una soplona de doce años, la insana estrangulación de un lindo gatito o una violación oral con momento Kodak— apuntala esa viga. De hecho, todo el lexicón criminal hormiguea por sus ochenta y ocho capítulos: traficantes, pederastas, asesinos, violadores, proxenetas, ladrones, serial-killers, timadores, torturadores, parricidas, racistas, tarados, aprovechateguis, drogatas, navajeros, pandilleros, gángsters de cuello blanco… En este entorno, ni la ley ni la moral pública son efectivas ni suficientes para combatir el crimen. Al contrario: se hace necesaria una suerte de justicia natural —las soluciones poco convencionales de Vic Mackey— «como precondición esencial para la existencia de un orden social» (Chopra-Gant), es decir, para el mantenimiento de la seguridad en las calles. «Mis calles, mis reglas», grita en «Slipknot» (3.9.).

«Hay una salida, siempre la hay»

La trama se ubica en Farmington, una deprimente comisaria de Los Ángeles —una vieja iglesia reconvertida— donde opera el Equipo de Asalto. El líder del Strike Team ha de contrarrestar las bandas callejeras de Los Angeles y neutralizar todo tipo de delincuentes al mismo tiempo que se enfrenta a sus superiores, que investigan sus métodos poco ortodoxos y tratan de aclarar los rumores de que viola la ley en su propio beneficio. «Hay una salida, siempre la hay», apura Mackey en «Chasing Ghosts» (6.6.); la frase condensa el funambulismo narrativo y moral que presenta The Shield, siempre haciendo equilibrio sobre el alambre.

Mas la distinción del drama criminal al uso no se produce solo por la dureza de la acción y la brutalidad de su protagonista, sino también por su elasticidad narrativa. Los policías del distrito de Farmington se enfrentan a casos que duran un capítulo —asignados habitualmente a Danny y Julien o a la pareja de investigadores formada por Dutch Wagenbach y Claudette Wyms—, a subtramas que recorren tres o cuatro episodios, a villanos de temporada (Armadillo, Margos, Mitchell, Rezian, Pezuela, Beltran) y polis de temporada (Decoy Squad, Rawlings, Kavanaugh) y a un conflicto —la lucha interna del y contra el Strike Team— que se arrastra y envenena durante siete temporadas, desde el «acto imperdonable». La acumulación narrativa resulta tan, tan congestionada que la única metáfora válida para describirla es la de los coches de choque. Este cuádruple nivel narrativo acaba engendrando una refinada arquitectura que proporciona una de las más depuradas muestras de la combinación de autoconclusividad y trama de fondo que autores como Kozloff, Nelson o Mittel han estudiado. En la actualidad, solo The Good Wife o Justified pueden combinar las tramas verticales y las horizontales con tanta soltura.

Uno de los elementos que mejor demuestra cómo en The Shield la producción estaba siempre al servicio de la historia radica en los actores. Más allá de los legionarios que van cayendo en la línea de fuego, el caso más revelador es el de David Rees Snell: era un amiguete de Shawn Ryan que metieron como extra en el piloto, en un personaje sin diálogo. Sin embargo, a lo largo del periplo su Ronnie Gardocki fue creciendo impulsado por los giros de guión y acabó convertido en peón esencial durante la última temporada. Algo similar puede decirse del cachondo detective Billings (David Marciano) —un alivio cómico que juega un papel relevante en el desenlace— o la sorprendente Mara (Michelle Hicks), que pasa de florero a gatillo.

Poder, mujeres fuertes y Cinco de Mayo

Dado el tono y el tema, lo fácil sería acusar a The Shield de machista y hormonada. Sí, pero no solo; eso sería fijarse en el dedo, no en la Luna. Porque exhibe un elenco femenino de lo más sabroso y complejo, mucho más atrevido que otros shows que aspiran a cumplir cuota y corrección política. La serie jamás normaliza ni blanquea las cuestiones de sexo y raza por dos razones: para mantener el retrato realista (aún hoy abundan problemas raciales y sexuales en el mundo real) y, sobre todo, para expandir las posibilidades dramáticas. En las luchas de poder, manipulación y crimen que retrata The Shield, importa la pigmentación de tu piel y qué tienes entre las piernas. No es casualidad, claro, que el Strike Team lo integren hombres blancos y que el mayor intento por colorearlo acabe en resaca. Mackey ya marcaba paquete con el hispano Aceveda nada más saltar a la cancha:

Vic Mackey: Tendrás mi informe en un par de días. Quizá en una semana. Si no te gusta este calendario, háblalo con Gilroy.

David Aceveda: No tengo por qué. En este edificio, yo estoy al mando.

Vic Mackey: Bueno, puede que sea así en tu propia mente, amigo. Pero en el mundo real, no respondo ante ti. Ni hoy, ni mañana, ni siquiera en el Cinco de Mayo. («Pilot», 1.1.).

Franqueza similar se da con los personajes femeninos, fuertes y poliédricos; nada de corderitos de Norit. Está Danny Sofer, una eficaz policía que lucha por conciliar su vida laboral y emocional en un entorno que sabe masculino y hostil. O Tina Hanlon, una bella latina que suple su falta de profesionalidad con el chantaje cosmético. En la cuarta temporada aparece una sensacional Glenn Close para encarnar a la aguerrida capitana Monica Rawlings y en la sexta emerge, casi con retrovisor, el cerebro criminal de Franka Potente. Así mismo, la insoportable escalada emocional de la última temporada no se entendería sin la aportación —tan opuesta, tan humana, tan agónica— de las esposas de Mackey y Vendrell.

Y, sin embargo, aún queda la mejor y más compleja de todas: Claudette Wyms (una excepcional CCH Pounder). Negra, cincuentona, honrada, escrupulosa, triste y una profesional de los pies a la cabeza, Wyms se nos retrata como la verdadera brújula ética de Farmington, sin que ello implique beatificarla. Al contrario, sabemos que su vida personal es un desastre y que su constante pingpong dialéctico y profesional con Wagenbach —tan divertido y entrañable— es también una fórmula para evitar el tedio de su existencia. Ninguna de ellas escapa de la ambigüedad que atraviesa todo el relato.

«¡Es Al Capone con placa!» o el dilema entre derechos y seguridad

Como escribía John Sumser en su análisis del género, el policíaco contemporáneo supone la actualización de la narrativa de la frontera, una suerte de evolución del sustrato ideológico del western: quién aplica el monopolio legítimo de la fuerza, cómo se defiende una comunidad política de las amenazas contra su orden o, ay, cómo lidiar cuando el vigilante corrompe su mandato. Todas esas cuestiones asoman, sin necesidad de subrayado gafapasta, en The Shield, hidratadas con derivadas de alcance social y político: los problemas del multiculturalismo y la integración, las tensiones entre ley natural y autoridad legítima, las redefiniciones posmodernas del heroísmo y la culpa… Y lo hace sin la autoconsciencia sociológica de obras más «serias» como The Wire o Mad Men. No. The Shield es, primero, un relato entretenidísimo, que genera una dependencia yonqui. Se afana en coger por sorpresa al espectador en todas sus curvas, en segregarle testosterona y persecuciones en cada capítulo, en machacarle con una extenuante partida de esgrima verbal y frontón psicológico donde un serial-killer pone en evidencia la triste vida de perdedor del poli (¡ay, DutchBoy!) o en levantarle del sillón con una réplica de tipo duro, un vacile de doscientos voltios en territorio Byz Lats o un macabro escenario del crimen —lo más gore y perversamente divertido siempre nacía de la pluma de Kurt Sutter, el showrunner de Sons of Anarchy.

Vic Mackey, el calvo de acero, comparte once titular —en la posición de un Beckenbauer, dominando todo el campo desde atrás— con los «adorables antihéroes» que han poblado la serialidad contemporánea: Tony Soprano, Walter White, Jackie Peyton, Tommy Gavin, Dexter Morgan o Nucky Thompson. En una zona de Estados Unidos que compite en peligrosidad con Irak, Mackey parece un mal menor, como le explica Wyms al capitán Aceveda, la «cuota étnica» con aspiraciones de político reformista:

David Aceveda: ¿No te molesta? ¿Las cosas que hace?

Claudette Wyms: No juzgo a otros polis.

David Aceveda: Mackey no es un poli. ¡Es Al Capone con placa!

Claudette Wyms: Al Capone ganó dinero dándole a la gente lo que quería. Lo que la gente quiere estos días es llegar a sus coches sin que les asalten. Regresar del trabajo y ver que su estéreo sigue donde estaba. Oír sobre algún asesinato en el barrio y que al día siguiente la policía capturó al tipo. Si tener todas esas cosas implica que un poli dio una paliza a algún hispano o algún negro en el gueto… bueno, por lo que respecta a la mayoría de la gente, es un «mejor no preguntar para no saber» («Pilot», 1.1.).

the-shield-2

[ESPOILERS A PARTIR DE AQUÍ]

Sobre esta dicotomía entre derechos y seguridad se levanta el quiasmo moral que espolea toda la serie. La efectividad del Strike Team incita al espectador a meditar sobre cómo el ciudadano medio, más aún tras la hecatombe del 11-S, necesita que haya Mackeys por ahí fuera imponiendo sus normas en la selva urbana, desatascando las alcantarillas para que la gente pueda dormir tranquila, consciente de que quien llama a la puerta a las seis de la mañana sea el lechero. Este dilema se hace carne en el espectacular montaje alterno que clausura el primer capítulo a ritmo del Bawitdaba de Kid Rock. Por un lado, el Strike Team sale enfervorizado a la caza y captura de un traficante de droga. Sus imágenes en la camioneta o mientras llegan a la peligrosa mansión de Two-Time se combinan con escenas del resto de protagonistas en su esfera doméstica: Claudette es recibida por su perro, Dutch con guantes y lejía limpia su escritorio, Aceveda le da el biberón a su retoño y Danny se repiensa su cita a ciegas, metiendo una pistola en el bolso antes de cruzar el umbral de la puerta. Ay: para la tranquilidad y seguridad del hogar es necesario que alguien haga el trabajo sucio, parece sugerir. ¿Cueste lo que cueste?

Glenn Close y Forest Whitaker parten la serie en dos

El pecado original del piloto —¡oh, Terry!— provoca una huida hacia adelante donde los protagonistas van cavando la tierra bajo sus pies, encontrando siempre una letanía de coartadas para autojustificarse: «Ey, recordemos de dónde procede este dinero armenio: prostitución, drogas, robos… y el resto de este cash solo va a financiar más de lo mismo. No se lo han ganado; no me siento mal cogiéndolo» (Mackey en «Dominoes Falling», 2.13.). The Shield —al igual que Breaking Bad— exhibe una aventura tremendamente moral porque, precisamente, lidia con las consecuencias de los actos y fuerza al espectador a mirarse en un espejo incómodo. El mal causado infecta todo, como un cáncer sin curación. Es como si el narrador implícito se afanara en repetirnos que las cosas pudieron ser de otra manera, pero los hombres deciden y tienen que asumir la factura de esas decisiones. El tren del dinero, el catacrac de Lem o las piruetas para mantener el poder entre bandas son solo algunos de los atajos para lograr escapar de la tormenta de mierda y sangre que provocó aquella «marca de Caín».

Precisamente el vendaval arrecia en la quinta temporada, la que parte la serie como un melón. La determinación de encarar el conflicto fundacional del relato fue acertadísima. La cuarta temporada, la protagonizada por una feroz Glenn Close, es estupenda, pero resulta la menos brillante del periplo. Por dos razones: en primer lugar, la desintegración del Strike Team, el desplazamiento de Aceveda y, sobre todo, el viento a favor de Rawling hacen que escasee esa amenaza interna que tanto tensa la cuerda para Mackey y los suyos. Falta vapor y malabares. En segundo lugar, The Shield comenzó a acusar cierto cansancio narrativo, sensación de moverse en círculos: era el momento de coger el toro por los cuernos e hincarle el diente a la trama de fondo, encarando las consecuencias del asesinato de Terry Crowley, ese sangriento pasado que, en la tradición del mejor noir, perseguirá a los personajes hasta el cementerio.

Jon Kavanaugh es el catalizador.

Su desestabilizadora presencia —un Forest Whitaker de párpado flojo, tan histriónico como canino— provoca una espiral desquiciada, trágica, donde cada capítulo empuja al espectador al límite y el relato parece a punto de descarrilar con cada nuevo giro. El final de la quinta temporada —con la voladura del pobre Lem— figura entre las season finales más devastadoras, junto al de la segunda temporada de Lost o Boardwalk Empire, la tercera temporada de Battlestar Galactica o las cuartas de Dexter y Breaking Bad. «Somos una familia. Sobrevivimos a esto juntos o nos hundimos juntos», advertía Mackey en «Tapa Boca» (5.4.). Pero, oh, no es lo mismo la estirpe profesional que la de sangre. La familia, siempre la familia —lo detallaremos más adelante— como excusa para perpetrar los actos más viles y seguir convencido de ser una buena persona. «La familia lo primero, ¿verdad», le espeta un atormentado Shane a Lemansky, antes de hacerle picadillo y gritarle aquel desgarrador «¡¡lo siento!!» («Postpartum», 5.11.).

«Vas a pagar por esto»

«Averiguaremos quién hizo esto… y lo mataremos», brama Vic minutos después de enterarse del asesinato de Lem. Las consecuencias de aquella trágica convulsión se dilataron hasta el cierre, pero tuvieron parada y fonda en «Chasing Ghosts» (6.6.), uno de los capítulos más memorables de la serie, dirigido por Frank Darabont. En los últimos minutos se produjo, por fin, el esperado enfrentamiento bíblico entre Shane Vendrell y Vic Mackey. Pura nitroglicerina dialéctica. La caja de Pandora. Toda la porquería del Strike Team saliendo a la superficie. Y flotando. «Crees que estás mirando por una ventana —se defiende Shane—, pero en realidad estás mirando un espejo». La maquiavélica lógica para matar a Lem no era diferente a la de liquidar a Terry Crowley; basta con definir el «nosotros». En ese plural descansa la última frontera.

Desde ese cardíaco momento, la narración se convierte en una caza obsesiva, salvaje, una ruleta rusa donde no hay más opción que matar o ser matado. Los escritores mantienen la tragedia griega dentro de los lindes de la verosimilitud. Mentira sobre mentira. Sin dar un solo paso en falso. Sin atajos. Sin ahorrar una gota de sangre. La cuestión central de The Shield —«¿a qué parte de nuestra libertad estamos dispuestos a renunciar para tener mayor seguridad?»— se reformula: «¿Cuál es el precio que paga la gente por haber torcido las reglas?». Ya le había advertido Mackey explícitamente a Shane: «No puedes hacer algo como esto sin un precio. Vas a pagar por esto». Pero Vic no es mejor que el asesino de Lem. Su propia esposa, Corinne, también se lo recuerda: «Te ayudaré una última vez y, después, los niños y yo estaremos fuera de tu vida. Ese es mi precio. ¡¡Y tú tienes pagar algún tipo de precio!!» («Parricide», 7.8.). Los actos tienen consecuencias; en los últimos capítulos solo falta por saber a cuánto asciende la cuenta… y quién se hace cargo de ella.

El soberbio final anti-Soprano

Ryan cuenta en los extras del DVD cómo en la séptima temporada ya no tenían que reservarse nada. Querían reventar el casino. Premiar a los espectadores que estuvieron desde el minuto uno (por eso desfilan tantos personajes ocasionales por la última tanda de capítulos). Buscaban un desenlace circular, rotundo, anti-Soprano; un final que, además de ofrecer conclusión narrativa, dejara a la peña desolada emocionalmente… y no cabreada con su proveedor de cable por haber cagado la señal mientras Tony, Carmela y cía cenaban aros de cebolla.

Mackey sigue ejerciendo de equilibrista, de «yo contra el mundo»: enfrente tiene la ley, el pasado, Shane, Corrine y los niños, Claudette y Dutch, Aceveda a ratos… y a los villanos habituales que pueblan el universo de The Shield. Lo extraordinario es que Mackey siga en pie y, sobre todo, que acaricie el éxito una vez más, saliendo indemne de su última maquinación. Aquí es donde el diseño de tramas de The Shield toca techo: la peripecia narrativa, enrevesada, logra que Aceveda se convierta en un salvavidas, a cambio de Beltrán, y que el pacto con la agente Olivia Murray resulte creíble y demoledor.

En una serie tan frenética, los silencios se convierten en seña de identidad en el último tramo de la temporada. Esos primeros planos saturados y parsimoniosos del rostro hercúleo de Mackey durante la confesión ponen los pelos de punta. Su remordimiento inicial, con la voz entrecortada, deja paso a ciertas sonrisas cuando se relaja el fardo y recuerda tal o cual felonía. «¿Cuánta memoria tiene ese chisme?». Ja. Los contraplanos atónitos —horrorizados— de la agente Murray cuando se da cuenta del monstruo con el que acaba de pactar completan el drama y los gritos de Claudette —esos ojos desesperados— al conocer el acuerdo de inmunidad otorgan un aire trágico, punzante, de impotencia ante la injusticia.

Olivia Murray: ¿Tienes idea de lo que me acabas de hacer?

Vic Mackey: He hecho cosas peores («Possible Kill Screen», 7.12.).

Empatía, heroísmo y renglones torcidos

A lo largo de toda la séptima temporada, el espectador se va quedando sin aire y, cuando llega al adiós piensa que las cartas están echadas. ¡Han sucedido tantas cosas hasta ese capítulo! Pero lo grandioso de «Family Meeting» (7.13.) es saber abrochar de forma contundente sin trillarle todo el camino al espectador. Una historia que acaba, sin cabos sueltos. Y que, sin embargo, sabe jugar con la sorpresa: nadie puede esperarse el torrente de emociones y requiebros que sacuden los últimos noventa minutos.

Una de los mayores hallazgos de la serie, como hemos indicado, siempre anduvo en el terreno moral. El protagonista gana aristas puesto que, gracias a la narrativa expandida que permite la serialidad, con frecuencia se nos muestra en su vertiente personal y doméstica. Vic Mackey es un buen padre en el día a día y está dispuesto a todo para proteger a su mujer y a sus hijos, dos de ellos autistas. A efectos dramáticos, los lazos de sangre desestabilizan el marco moral de los antihéroes, tanto interna como externamente. Por un lado, la apelación a la familia les sirve de coartada para justificar la necesidad de muchas de sus reprobables acciones. Pero, por otro, es un hecho que el entorno familiar saca lo mejor de Mackey, su faceta más paternal y desinteresada. Con Cassidy nunca hay segundas intenciones. Por si la familia directa fuera poco, a lo largo de todo el relato Vic también se legitima ante el espectador por su fiereza para defender a los niños de crímenes horripilantes y castigar a sus agresores. Tiene un treinta por ciento de villano… ¡pero también un setenta por ciento de héroe!

Por eso no es casualidad —en un ejercicio de equilibrio dramático bien planeado por los guionistas— que en cada temporada el Strike Team, a pesar de sus métodos violentos y tantas veces ilegales, tenga que enfrentarse a villanos mucho más salvajes y despiadados. Por comparación, siempre salen ganando. Así, en la «estructura ética» del mundo ficcional que representa The Shield, Vic Mackey está lejos de ser el peor personaje. Al contrario. Como recuerda Poniewozik en la revista Time, «Mackey, claramente, es un mal policía (…). Eso no sería interesante durante mucho tiempo si no fuera por el hecho de que Mackey es, también, un muy buen policía (…). Es un monstruo que derriba a otros monstruos, en nuestro nombre». De ahí el título: el Strike Team es el «escudo» del ciudadano, no solo físico, sino también moral.

La huida imposible de Shane Vendrell

Algo similar ocurre con Shane, durante años el tipo más despreciable y por el que, al final, cuesta no derramar lágrimas. Lo de convertirle en una víctima es una de las mayores genialidades dramáticas que ha producido la teleficción contemporánea. Para eso hace falta, primero, una escritura planificada y una poética decidida. Mojar la pluma en vida para dibujar personajes de carne y hueso que permitan construir esa atmósfera donde el monstruo —ese humano— esté tan cerca, acechando. El resto del trabajo de victimización correspondía a un impresionante Walton Goggins, un actor de método, una mirada carismática y atormentada (la propia esposa del actor se suicidó en 2004, saltando al vació desde un edificio de Los Ángeles). Shane Vendrell es un redneck que ha mentido y robado, un poli que ha meado sobre un sospechoso y ha provocado la cruel muerte de una niña, un viscoso padre que se ha zumbado a una zagala mientras su esposa estaba enferma, un compañero que casi mata a otro en el salón de casa (Tavon) y un amigo que ha liquidado a uno de sus mejores amigos…

Aun con semejante historial consigue quebrarnos el corazón y que apostemos por él en los últimos capítulos. La empatía del espectador hacia su trance resulta indudable, extrañamente conmovedora. Shane, al final de su odisea, es un padre que vaga por la desesperación, un marido fiel que ayuda a su esposa embarazada, dolorida, a orinar, un tipo carcomido por la culpa de arrastrar a Jackson hacia el abismo y «regalarle» a Frances Abigail un nacimiento en prisión. La huida imposible de Shane lo convierte en un mártir a ojos del espectador. Mackey es como él y, sin embargo, es a Shane a quien le salió cruz. Ya se lo había advertido Diro Keshakian, en una sentencia —en el doble sentido de la palabra— premonitoria: «No podemos dejar a la gente que queremos fuera de las decisiones que tomamos» («Recoil», 6.9.). Durante la serie, en muchas ocasiones resulta dudoso que los personajes actúen por el bien de su familia; lo indudable es que los platos rotos sí los pagan todos, arrastrados por el fatum… y la justicia poética.

Vic Mackey: El problema contigo es que siempre tratas de ser tan listo como yo. Ahora yo estoy limpio y tú estás en el patético agujero llamado Antwon Mitchell-ópolis.

Shane Vendrell: ¿Sabes? Siempre pensaste que eras dos veces más hombre de familia que yo. ¿Verdad? El gran padre, un amante, marido incomprendido, ¿verdad? Si tu familia te ama tanto, Vic, ¿por qué se vuelven contra ti, eh? Corrine está trabajando con la policía, amigo. (…) ¡La madre de tus hijos te está manipulando! Ella prefiere verte ir a la cárcel a que abraces a uno de sus hijos de nuevo. Lo que nos pase a mí y a Mara… al menos vamos a estar juntos para todo. ¿Qué tienes tú, Vic, eh? Dime qué tienes.

Vic Mackey: Cuando tú y la reina perra estéis cumpliendo la cadena perpetua además, veré a Jackson y al otro chico una vez al año en sus cumpleaños. Les contaré algunas viejas historias acerca de papá y mamá, los despeinaré, les llevaré a tomar un helado.

Shane Vendrell: ¡Ni siquiera te atrevas ver a mis hijos! ¡Nunca! ¿Entiendes eso?

Vic Mackey: Sí, bueno, te enviaré una postal desde el Space Mountain («Family Meeting», 7.13.)

Su némesis echa limón en la herida y, como un perro cada vez más acorralado, el vaquero llega a un punto de no retorno. El espectador está allí, esperándole en su vano intento por encontrar una salida. Por eso es tan desgarrador su suicidio colectivo, una escena que arranca sollozos hasta del más machote. El bello plano de Mara y el niño, las flores, el camión de juguete… ¡Claro que quedaban sorpresas para el último capítulo!

Culpa y justicia poética

«Los culpables somos Vic y yo —escribía Vendrell antes de volarse la tapa de los sesos—. No creo que uno sea peor que el otro, pero cada uno convirtió al otro en algo peor que nuestro yo individual». ¿Alguien gana en The Shield? Sí: al final hay cierta justicia poética. No falla el sistema, sino los hombres. «En un panorama radicalmente contrario a la posición de The Wire sobre la corrupción urbana —escribe Bellafante en el NYTimes—, The Shield creía que las instituciones eran rescatables cuando gente decente se desempeñaba de forma competente».

La ley y el bien se imponen; el mal paga. Dutch, ese pardillo genial, es el gran vencedor. El detective Wagenbach ha sido un constante quiero y no puedo: un desastre con las mujeres, un legalista en territorio comanche y un tipo extremadamente inteligente, aunque sus compañeros le tomen a guasa. No es casualidad que sea él, junto a su leal compañera, el encargado de cobrar la deuda por los pecados del «Equipo de asalto». Wagenbaches la esperanza, la confianza en la restitución del orden y la legalidad en el viciado universo de The Shield. Al final, demuestra que se pueden resolver los casos con honradez y, además, de propina, atisba un futuro amoroso (reforzado por un guiño extratextual: su mujer en la vida real es la actriz que interpreta a la abogada).

Danny y Julien, a su manera, también tienen cierres positivos. En el caso de Julien con el añadido, tan inusitado, de mostrar a un homosexual que, en lugar de salir del armario, se mantiene dentro, conformándose con melancólicas miradas de deseo reprimido. ¡Hasta en eso evitan los creadores la placidez del tópico propio de otras series!

El resto llevan la tragedia inscrita en el nombre. Lem explotó, Shane se lleva a los suyos por delante, Ronnie es carne de traición y trullo y Aceveda se infecta de la corrupción que pretendía atajar en el capítulo uno. Sin embargo, es Claudette el personaje que se antoja más trágico: no solo ha mantenido la ortodoxia a la hora de derrotar el crimen, sino que ve con impotencia cómo Mackey se le escapa en el último suspiro y el lupus la devora salvajemente. Por eso ella, bastión de integridad en el relato, es la única que puede escupirle a Mackey la última venganza. La de la culpa. Las fotos de Shane, el vientre de Mara y el pequeño Jackson:

Todas esas redadas. Todas esas confesiones que conseguiste en esta sala, ilegales o de otra manera. Todas las drogas que sacaste de las calles esta noche para el ICE [Inmigration and Customs Enforcement]. ¡Debes de estar muy orgulloso de ti mismo! ¡Esto es lo que queda del héroe al salir por la puerta!» («Family Meeting», 7.13).

La dureza para mantener los planos de Mackey resulta asfixiante. El silencio duele. Mackey ha ganado su última batalla… para perder toda la guerra que justificaba sus acciones: la familia y la placa. Una vez más, remarcando la derrota con los silencios y unos planos gélidos, cerradísimos, a contracorriente de la electricidad de toda la historia. En ese cubículo frío, mecánico y monótono, con ese traje barato que le hace parecer un fantoche. ¡El omnipotente y brioso Vic Mackey condenado a una muerte en vida!

El director Clark Johnson regresó para cerrar el círculo. Nadie escapa a su destino. Las piezas encajan. La muerte reclama su factura. Y el espectador, tras el puñetazo en el estómago, se queda con la sensación de que le han contado todo sin necesidad de dárselo masticado.

¡¡Demonios, así es como se acaba una serie!!

Boil The Frog: playlists automáticas que recorren el camino que va de tus filias a tus fobias

by Carlos Barreiro
Las herramientas que encontramos en Internet para crear listas de reproducción automáticas, suelen regirse por la idea de que los que están frente a la pantalla andan buscando canciones que lo ratifiquen en sus gustos. Un planteamiento que obedece a la lógica de que la música es sólo un producto de consumo, no una fuente de conocimiento. Pero como los caminos de los algoritmos son ilimitados, aquí va una aplicación web que permite conectar a nuestros artistas favoritos con otros con los que, en apariencia, no tienen absolutamente nada en común: Boil The Frog.


Para que no se le escape a nadie esta peculiar funcionalidad, ellos mismos nos ofrecen varias listas que nos ponen en contexto: de Justin Bieber a Jimi Hendrix, de Miley Cyrus a Miles Davies, de The Carter Family a Rammstein o de Kanye West a Taylor Swift. Disparatado pero con su fundamento, ojo. Las canciones son parte del contenido de Rdio, el servicio de música a la carta estadounidense, por lo que hay que estar dado de alta y logueado para escucharlas enteras.

Funciona relacionando a unos 100000 artistas y en el breve texto en el que explican su mecánica deja claro que, para exprimirle todo su jugo, se recomienda seleccionar a dos artistas que estén alejados tanto en lo referente a su sonido como a el nivel de popularidad. De ese modo la lista de reproducción será más larga. De lo contrario, sólo te ofrecerá dos o tres canciones. Lo he comprobado relacionando a The Smiths con Morrissey o a Nine Inch Nails con Rammstein.


Su creador, Paul Lamere (de The Echo Nest) ha comentado de un modo comprensible por cualquier cómo se crean estas exóticas relaciones: lo normal es que los generadores de playlists automáticas conecten artistas recorriendo los caminos más cortos que los vinculan, Boil The Frog va por los más largos.

Cómo hacer galletas caseras estilo Oreo. Pasos de la receta

Con qué acompañar las galletas Oreo

Las galletas Oreo caseras podemos disfrutarlas cuando más nos apetezca, especialmente a la hora de la merienda con un buen vaso de leche para mojarlas. Las galletas rellenas me gusta guardarlas en un recipiente hermético en la nevera, ya que así evitamos que la masa interior se reblandezca demasiado y se conservan mucho mejor.

50 Christmas Movies You Should Be Required To Watch Every Year

by Rob Fee

If you’re anything like me, the holiday season starts the day after Halloween, because let’s be honest, Thanksgiving is basically just pre-Christmas without the presents. I know many aren’t like this, and like to start the Christmas season December 1st. To help you fully utilize the holiday season, I put together the essential Christmas movie watch list, giving you two movies per day to watch with friends or family. There are some that you may not even realize are Christmas movies, but don’t worry, it’s filled with familiar classics as well.

December 1 The Ref / Fred Clause

Start December off with two underrated Christmas movies that you may not have seen. Dennis Leary and Vince Vaughn probably aren’t at the top of your holiday watch list, but you should give them both a chance. It’s Christmas, the time to forgive Vince Vaughn for The Internship.

2nd Mixed Nuts / Babes in Toyland

I would watch Steve Martin reenacting the story of an old man returning a lawnmower to Wal-Mart, but even with my bias, Mixed Nuts is a wonderful movie. Top that off with Babes in Toyland and suddenly you’ve forgotten all about your Uncle Steve’s weird, new girlfriend who keeps smelling all the doorknobs.

3rd Die Hard / Lethal Weapon

Nothing lights my Yule log like watching Bruce Willis and pre-racial tirade Mel Gibson taking out terrorists. For the record, I still have no idea what a Yule log is and honestly I don’t want to know.

4th All I Want For Christmas / Holiday Inn

This one could get confusing. Be sure to get the 1991 version of All I Want for Christmas starring a young Ethan Embry and not the weird Hallmark channel version that came out in 2007. Also, be sure Holiday Inn is the one starring Bing Crosby, and not the Chingy song.

5th The Bishop’s Wife / The Preacher’s Wife

You can start with Cary Grant and Loretta Young or Denzel and Whitney. Either way, you really can’t go wrong. Great, now I’m crying and I think I have to go watch The Bodyguard.

6th Gremlins / Ernest Saves Christmas

It may seem like an unlikely combination, but there is no possible way you can watch Gremlins AND Ernest Saves Christmas in one day and not have rays of sunshine shooting out of every part of your body. It’s like the cinematic version of a piggy back ride from an actual bear who is house trained and good with children.

7th Unaccompanied Minors / I’ll Be Home for Christmas

If you haven’t seen Unaccompanied Minors, it’s surprisingly good! If you haven’t seen I’ll Be Home for Christmas, you probably weren’t a teenage girl in 1998 because it stars Jonathan Taylor Thomas and that story just kind of writes itself.

8th A Charlie Brown Christmas / The Muppet Christmas Carol

Even if you absolutely hate Christmas like some sort of swamp monster, you can’t hate Charlie Brown and The Muppets, right?

9th Arthur Christmas / The Polar Express

I would suggest watching The Polar Express first and then Arthur Christmas. That way the terrifying CGI from The Polar Express won’t be fresh in your mind and you won’t have nightmares of that Tom Hanks character who looked like a melted candle.

10th Scrooged / Trading Places

If you say anything bad about Scrooged I will never forgive you. I love that movie more than some of my relatives (Looking at you, Aunt Pam) and, of course, Trading Places is incredible. What a great day!

11th Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas / Nightmare Before Christmas

You can watch whichever version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas you want, but I prefer the original cartoon because I can’t see Jim Carrey’s face without thinking about that creepy video he made for Emma Watson. No thanks, Ace Ventura.

12th Just Friends / While You Were Sleeping

Spend your December 12th watching Ryan Reynolds sing All-4-One in a fat suit and braces and Sandra Bullock in a story that’s only sweet because the music is light and whimsical. She’s basically a crazy person in that movie.

13th Bad Santa / Surviving Christmas

Everyone loves Bad Santa, but critics loathed Surviving Christmas so much. I’m not saying it’s a classic Christmas movie, but it’s not THAT bad. It’s like Dominos Pizza; obviously no one loves Dominos, but at least it’s not one of those skin flaps from Little Caesars called a Hot ‘n Ready.

14th The Family Man / Trapped in Paradise

I’m sorry to suggest a double dose of Nicholas Cage during the holiday season, but he’s incredibly tame in Trapped in Paradise and, shockingly enough, you might just enjoy him in The Family Man. Even if you don’t, Don Cheadle is on there and no one dislikes him. It’s like hating smiles.

15th Prancer / The Santa Clause

If I had to choose between Tim Allen and Sam Elliott for who I wanted to save my Christmas, I’m going Sam Elliott every time. Can you imagine seeing Sam Elliott riding through the sky on a single reindeer throwing down packs of Marlboro Lights to all of boys and girls, no matter if they were good or bad? I can.

16th The Holiday / Love Actually

Awwwwwwww! (That’ll be you, all day.)

17th P2 / Black Christmas

Hey remember how sweet and romantic the movies were yesterday? No more of that! Today everyone is getting stalked and/or murdered. I hope it goes without saying, but I’m referring to the 1974 original version of Black Christmas, not the one with Gretchen Wieners in it.

18th Jingle All the Way / Jack Frost

You’ll never see another movie like Jingle All the Way. Not because Sinbad is dead, (He’s not, right?) but because with eBay Arnold’s dilemma would be resolved in about 14 seconds. If you’re watching this with your kids, be sure you get the Jack Frost starring Michael Keaton and not the one about a serial killer who comes back as a snowman. That’s a real story. Someone got paid to make that.

19th Home Alone / Home Alone 2

Why not spend the evening enjoying Kevin McCallister fighting off criminals after being abandoned by his family on numerous occasions? Merry Christmas everyone!

20th Batman Returns / Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang

Here’s a couple more movies you may not realize take place during the Christmas season, but thankfully they do! Danny DeVito as The Penguin is even creepier when you pretend it’s Frank Reynolds from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia after his life has completely fallen apart.

21st Miracle on 34th Street / A Christmas Carol

Call your nana and tell her to come over for movie day. Take her to Bob Evans if she’s a sweet old lady, or if she’s like my grandma, take her to TGI Fridays for some Jack Daniels ribs and a series of rum-based drinks

22nd The Nativity Story / White Christmas

I don’t think it’s officially Christmas until you watch Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye dance in White Christmas. The Nativity Story is delightful, but if you’re offended by it, don’t watch it. Just don’t yell at me for suggesting it. Go watch Iron Man 3 or something instead. If Iron Man 3 offends you, go stare at a tree stump in your yard for two hours and stop being such a grump.

23rd Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer / Frosty the Snowman

Make some of those Christmas decorations where you string popcorn and toss it onto your tree while you watch some of the finest Claymation outside of the California Raisins. If you have a window that won’t close in your house, don’t use those decorations. Birds will infest your home and after eating all the popcorn, they will demand you go buy more popcorn. It’s a living hell.

24th Elf / Christmas Vacation

These are the Christmas movies I watch with my family every year. Watching Buddy the Elf completely embrace Christmas followed by watching Clark Griswold slowly fall apart on a human level as he desperately clings to a thread of holiday cheer is the best thing you can do on Christmas Eve.

25th A Christmas Story

I know it’s blasphemy, but I cannot stand this movie. If I never saw it again in my life I’d be content with that. However, since it plays for 24 hours non-stop on Christmas every year I assume most don’t feel the way I do. You might as well give in and watch it. You know you want one of those leg lamps.

It’s a Wonderful Life

Is it possible to feel bad while watching It’s a Wonderful Life? It’s the cinematic version of a hug from your dad. Open some presents and kiss your mom, it’s Christmas! TC Mark

50 People On Their Best NSFW Life Hack

by Chrissy Stockton
Someone asked Reddit “what is the best NSFW life-hack you know of?” And um, WOW. I’ve collected the best answers below.

1.

skootch_ginalola:

When shaving your private areas (male or female), wet the area and the razor, ignore soap/shaving cream/gel and go straight for the hair conditioner. Shave as normal. Skin will be baby smooth with no ingrown hairs or bumps. Learned this from a stripper when I asked if she had to constantly get Brazilian waxes. Can also be used to shave legs, facial hair or shave a guy’s head.

2.

snugglesaurus:

Not sure if this works for menz, but if you have a vagina that you are masturbating and you REALLY need to get off quickly but it just doesn’t seem to be happening, tense your thigh muscles as hard as you can, until it almost hurts, then push through and keep tensing while you rub your clit – it works the best for me if I’m on my back, lifting both spread legs in the air at a 45 degree angle to the mattress/whatever and holding them there like some sort of front-up leg lift. Pushes you right over the edge, done and DONE.

Concerned about looking ridiculous? Stop worrying, the other people in the library are just jealous.

3.

shinyhappypanda:

If you’re throwing up and having trouble holding down water, fill a bowl with ice and suck on the ice cubes. The water will help rehydrate you, and it goes into you so slowly that it’s less likely to make you throw up like drinking water can. Also, supposedly sucking on the ice cube helps you stop throwing up. I tried this last weekend when I was sick, and it got me through a pretty rough night.

4.

radioactivemagic:

Every room that has a door is a bottle cap opener. Inside the frame you can use the striker plate to open any beer flawlessly.

This is only NSFW depending on where you work.

5.

avengepluto:

Headphones and blindfold during oral sex.

Before going down on her, put on some instrumental music (Explosions in the Sky works nicely) and put the headphones on her. Blindfold her or cover her eyes with a towel. The sensory deprivation magnifies the sensations she feels as you pleasure her.

6.

irvzilla:

Guys : rub one out before any major life decisions.

7.

klown_nightmares:

When you know you’re gonna throw up, drink iced tea. You will still throw up, but it’s gonna taste a lot less awful

8.

muzakx:

Form a C shape with your thumb, index and middle finger. Use the index and middle finger to stimulate the top wall of the vagina, using a come hither motion. While rubbing the clitoris with your thumb or use your tongue to really push her over the edge.

9.

this_is_balls:

Preventing the Post-Coital chaotic piss:

Immediately before you take a leak, place you thumb and index finger at the very tip of your penis right above and below the urethra. Gently squeeze your fingers together, opening up the urethra. You are now free to enjoy a piss that will fly straight and true.

10.

4ey:

During missionary position (as a guy), move your hips up and slightly away from your partner when thrusting in. This will (hopefully) stimulate her clitoris and sometimes her g-spot or u-spot if you’re doing it right. As a bonus it presses on the bottom of her vagina as well, giving her a more “full” feeling. Timing kegal contractions in unison with the thrusting is also highly encouraged.

11.

RaineRios:

If your going to drink at work, keep a bottle of hand sanitizer at your desk. When someone enters the room use it, that way they assume that vodka scent is simply sanitizer.

12.

awswaim:

I’m a little late to this thread, but I had a bit of an awakening recently after discovering erotic hypnosis. There is a chick called Isabella Valentine(and others) that makes audio tracks where you just lay down in bed, put on your headphones and sit back and enjoy whatever fantasy you want in a trance-like state.

I had a full body orgasm after 4 or 5 sessions without touching myself at all and it was much longer and more intense than I have ever had. It’s not for everyone, but I sold out for it and let myself go. It was totally worth it. I’ve never done anything like meditation or hypnosis, but if you have before it’s apparently much easier getting started.

Tl;dr The brain is the largest sexual organ.

Shaving your pubic hair effectively adds an inch to your dick size.

Masturbation clears the mind, cures headaches and just makes you feel good.

And its free.

If you stick your tounge out and pretend to shake pepper into your mouth you can actually taste it.

If you’re worried about people who borrow your computer finding porn in your internet history, have two internet browsers, only use one for porn, and hide the porn browser. I just downloaded Firefox and took Safari off my desk top (although, now Safari turns me on a little… fucking classical conditioning, man).

When you kill someone, don’t forget to eat their heart so you can gain their courage. Their rich, tasty courage.

Irisversicolor:

Use a beard trimmer on your snatch. Close enough to keep it nice and tidy without all the itch and razor burn! Bonus: it’s way faster and almost impossible to cut yourself.
Edit: Alright, so it is still possible to cut yourself, though I still think the likelihood is much lower and you don’t need to be nearly as careful as you would with a razor. Fellas (ladies too I guess), you may want to stretch all that loose skin out before attempting so you don’t get all chewed.

Pymm:

Take both her legs and throw them over your shoulders. When entering, tilt your hips down so the top of your penis rubs nicely along the top wall of her vagina. Whenever I do this my girlfriends eyes roll back in her head, she calls me dirty names and promptly cums all over me.
Sharing is Caring.

maenixon123:

if you plan to fuck both holes, go from pussy to ass, not ass to pussy. That way, some infections are avoided.

Also, if you are planning to murder someome, go to a weapon store out of town, and use a VERY common weapon. Homemade or special weapons can be too easy to track.

21.

technicolordreams:

For the guy on the bottom. If your girl is on top, slip your thumb in between and let her grind away on that. It’s simple, pleasurable, and requires a pretty minimal effort on the guys part but reaps rewards on the girls part. It brings you from dead fish to thoughtful partner without any extra thrusting, crazy workouts, or overt effort.

22.

mitusus:

Okay sex hacking, So you are getting ready to fuck a woman, and haven’t put it in yet have you? Good. Okay you may have fingered her a bit, gone down on her, but before you enter her slide your dick up and down her slit maybe even push it down on her clitoris a bit use her wetness or maybe add a bit of lube and play with her until she begs you to put it in her OR make her cum on your dick before you even put it in her, there is something about the hard shaft and head rubbing against clit/slit that fits really well together (evolution maybe?) If she asks what you’re doing tell her you want to play with her a bit and let her enjoy the ride, you will too.

23.

zachalicious:

To the ladies: use your hand as an extension of your mouth during oral. Get it nice and wet and slippery, and go in the same motion as your mouth (pretty much don’t let your hand lose contact with your lips). If you want to throw a twisting motion in there with the hands, your man will love you forever.

If you’re gonna use your fingers on her, be gentle and for gods sake, trim your fingernails.

Guys. You want a girl to swallow and not grimace at the taste? Cut down on the red meats and certain veggies which causes the semen to be bitter and eat sweet fruits in a decent quantity. Causes the semen to have a neutral or even sweetish flavour

likeabandofgypsies:

To make a woman orgasm while only using your hands, every time:

start with an hour or so of lots of intimate rubbing, grabbing of her thighs, light kissing, teasing, foreplayish stuff, rubbing and such until you get to the point where you’re about to start rubbing her pussy. Do so.

Be gentle but get slowly rougher, pressing harder and harder on her vagina.

Ok, so now you’re gonna start fingering her. Make sure she’s wet. She should be at this point. Just one finger for now though. In and out. THe usual. Do it for a few minutes that way, go between just rubbing her pussy hard and putting your middle finger in. use your MIDDLE FINGER. like, literally do the shocker, and it’s like you’re palming her pubic bone like a basketball, but stuck your middle finger inside her.

after she indicates she’s liking this, make sure you’re good and all, and then go for two fingers, your middle finger and ring finger. so if you’re using your right hand, you shold be facing her and lying on your left side. she is on her back in front of of you. do the rock’n'roll hands thing, similar to the shocker… techincally i think it actually might even be the “I love you” in sign language. eitehr way, middle AND ring finger now. and using those two fingers push up and in, and squeeze with the butt/palm of your hand and literally after you get her worked up a little and she starts grinding harder into your hand, all you have to do is move your hand up and down quickly while squeezing her pubic bone. your fingers inside her should be touching the g spot or somewhere that is sensetive at this point. usually thats where you end up with your hand in that position.

rapid hand movements up and down at a steady repetitive pace, slowly getting faster as she starts to get off a little. make sure her legs are spread out because she will start to close them because of the orgasm. I am like 75% sure that it will feel even more great of an orgasm when her legs are open. Just saying. But either way, she’ll cum.

Slow down for a second, get intimate and kiss and whatnot, and then repeat for multiple orgasms.
bone

*Note. I have gotten a girl off without even penetrating her, or even taking off her underwear, just by doing the touchy feely hour or so and lots of intimate kissing, and then rubbing her pussy and squeezing the pubic bone up and down without entering her and just getting faster and faster as she moves that way too. So this motion is really the key, along with the pressure on her pubic bone.

To get rid of an awkward public boner flex a major muscle group for as long as you can (like your thighs or your abs) and it will draw the blood away from the boner

28.

daBroviest:

If you’re a guy and you want to get off quickly, stand up and cross your legs. The added pressure in your balls really helps to quicken the ‘gasm.

b30:

Afraid to talk to new girls at bars? Do this and I PROMISE you success. Next time you need a drink at the bar, walk up beside a good looking girl who is also waiting for a drink. Your goal is to have a very light 5-10 second interaction with this girl while you wait for your drink (not after you get it… always before). Just throw out one line about something relevant. Nothing creepy. Nothing that requires thought. Just a brief exchange. No matter what happens say “have a great night”, and then leave her alone ASAP. Do this many many times over the course of several weeks. Try to master this lighthearted pressure-free 5-10 second conversation. You’ll start to realize that many girls enjoy the the interaction. Some might not (boyfriend, stuck up, etc). It doesn’t mater. 5-10 seconds and you’re done. Even if you are still standing next to her for another 5 minutes, just end the interaction with a smile and a “have a great night”. After several weeks of doing this you’ll be a changed man. Bonus: I guarantee that many girls will actually be intrigued by the fact that you cut the conversation short. Their egos may even drive them to strike the conversation back up with you. Again this is a confidence building exercize that you should practice over weeks or months. Do not force anything. After this phase is done and you are comfortable, you’ll have the courage to continue the conversation when the situation just feels right. No forcing anything.

Cherpyderp:

If you have a secret lover, save them in your phone as “Restricted” or “Unknown Caller” that way if the phone ever rings and your SO sees it, you can blow it off as a wrong number. This typically works for text messages as well.

31.

fappyday:

I know this is going to sound weird, but just go with me on this: I once had sex with a girl and, for whatever reason, decided to tickle her while she was on top of me. She involuntarily clamped down on mini-me like vice grips. Try it. It’s a unique experience.

32.

ElPutoAmo:

Gents, if you have a piss before you know you’re going to get head, take 15 seconds and wash your dick. Ladies, the same applies; it’s professional courtesy. I never like yodeling down the valley if it smells like a swamp, and I can’t imagine that after a night in a bar, my cock smells of lilacs and wild ginger. Keep it classy, you will reap the benefits.

33.

RobNoxious:

When going down on a woman, start at the earlobe.
And take your time.

34.

nobody2000:

Many of the men know about flaccid penis presentation and the existence of “growers” and “showers” (sounds like “show-urs”)

If you are a grower and you would like to appear more endowed without getting an erection so you can get that nice “hang” do the following.

Warm up, if you can. Rub your hands together and just hold them against your junk. Get them nice and warm. A hot shower will achieve this.

Keep yourself trimmed. You don’t need to shave per se, but definitely do some gardening.

Give your shaft a light “tug” outward. Not enough to make it hurt. Just enough to kind of give it a stretch. This, accompanied by the heat will loosen up your tendon just enough to let it hang down a bit.

Now you have a good 10 minutes of flaccid hanging power. You won’t look like a true “show-er” but you can begin the first few moments of coitus a little bit more confident…and hell – that’s when confidence counts.

Guys: When going down on a woman, put a finger in her mouth and tell her to do, with her tongue, the movements she wants you do do with yours. Jesus, it works.

39.

megapocalypse:

If you’re a guy, only get magnums if you need them. If you are average or small and buy normal condoms, I won’t blink twice. If you buy magnums and shouldn’t, I will judge the SHIT out of you, you egotistical idiot. If the condom falls off when you pull out (prior to losing your erection, which you should be doing anyway), you’re a fucking moron.

40.

chloby2002:

The magnum thing is SO true. I used to date this one guy who only referred to condoms as magnums. Like instead of saying “let me grab a condom,” he’d say “let me grab a magnum.” Seriously, I can already see your penis, you’re not fooling anyone. Huge turnoff.

You can re-moisten old pot with orange peels. Not only will it be less dry, but it will taste a little like oranges.

42.

brassmonkeybb:

Sex tip. When in missionary position, on a box spring mattress, put your hands on the front of your partners hips and push them into the bed. Aim your dick with your hips at their g-spot and maintain the stance while using your upper body to perform all of the work. When you push her into the bed the springs will push her back against you when you let up. You can do this in quick succession which will result in a hard, deep, fast paced fucking while maintaining a continuous assault on the g-spot.

43.

Milo_theHutt:

When sending pictures of your junk, never go full boner. It’s the same logic we all share when dealing with movie trailers that give away to much of the plot. This goes for big guys too. Leave a few inches for her to find on her own.

44.

Diddlesquid:

TIRED OF WRESTLING DILDOS INTO YOUR STRAPON HARNESS? Surface drag often makes wrangling a dildo through the harness ring awkward and time consuming. Avoid this by placing a plastic bag over the dildo, then easily slide the ring of the harness down the dildo over the bag. Once the ring is at the base, yank the plastic bag off the dildo like a motherfucking magician and voila! You may resume your happyfun sexytime.

Buy peppermint gum before giving a Bj.. Chew it and keep it in the back of your mouth. Makes the most unreal sensation of cold and wet in the best possible way. Try this ASAP

Don’t find your partner attractive? Fap to pornstars that look like them, your brain will start linking traits they share with the pornstar to sexy-time and complete orgasms.

there is not a single guy on god’s green earth that doesn’t like it when you talk dirty to him. not one. and you can’t fuck it up. if you can’t think of anything, just say dirty words, or describe what you are doing. if you’re shy about it, that’s fine too. your guy will probably be into that too, and will appreciate the effort.

49.

Gagging helps against dry mouth during blowjobs. Dunno bout the science, but gagging gives me hella saliva. So nifty :)

VA – The Rise and Fall of Paramount Records 1917-1927, Volume 1 (2013)

by exy

Paramount RecordsJack White’s record label, Third Man Records, will team up with John Fahey’s Revenant Records to release The Rise and Fall of Paramount Records, a comprehensive catalog of recorded material from the legendary Paramount Records.
Paramount Records was founded in 1917 by the Wisconsin Chair Company. During its time as a record company, Paramount recorded thousands of records by some of the biggest names in the business including Louis Armstrong, Ma Rainey, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Ethel Waters and many more. Unfortunately, no one at Paramount kept a proper record or archive of the music in the studio. Third Man and Revenant Records have come together and compiled a large collection of Paramount recordings in a two volume set.

320 kbps | 5.25 GB | UL | CL | RG | FS

The process took over two years and a team of 30 to 50 people to finish. The collection will be released in a “Handcrafted quarter-sawn oak cabinet with lush sage velvet upholstery and custom-forged metal hardware.” It features 800 remastered songs, six-180g vinyl records, over 200 restored original 1920s ads and images, and two books. The first book is the history of Paramount and the second is a 360 page encyclopedia guide to the Paramount artists. The set will also include a USB drive containing music and images from the Paramount collection. The vinyl LPs will have 87 songs spread across the six records.

Dean Blackwood, co-founder of Revenant Records, told Rolling Stone about putting together the history of Paramount and sharing it with Jack White “That was really the revelatory moment, just sort of staring at that timeline on my wall, like, ‘Why hasn’t this story been told?’”

ALGO HUELE MAL EN DINAMARCA

by noreply@blogger.com (Sr. Ausente)

Lo que tienen arriba es el nuevo retrato oficial de la familia real danesa, realizado por el hiperrealista Thomas Kluge tras recibir el real encargo. Se trata, sin duda, de una obra maestra de gótico kistch con el futuro rey Damien, de La Profecía, en primer término, la niña de Poltergeist a un lado y dos futuros cenobitas jugando con legos de sangre. Al fondo, ancianos perversos, matrimonios tristes y bebes listos para el sacrificio ritual. La Europa de los sótanos. Una Historia de Horror Danesa.

Hark, a Vagrant: Edward the Black Prince

Snob

o Black Prince loitou polo noso rei Pedro o Xusticieiro. :_)



buy this print!

A couple of comics about Edward, the Black Prince. I love that a man who was brutal in many ways was celebrated as "the Flower of English Chivalry" even into the 1900s. That's from a towering statue in Leeds, where I am headed for this year's Thought Bubble Festival! Love Leeds, love Thought Bubble, love the Black Prince, love his statue. I admit that last year I was proud of myself for identifying the figure from afar - it's all that bullet shaped armour around his head (amiright), a style we all wish would come back.

Also, glory be! New shirts! I am so glad to be stocking the store with new things. The Venus one is not in yet, but coming, but head on over to check out the rest. Deck yourselves in them, deck your friends, deck whoever! Just click the link:
