Locke and Key



 Hacía mucho tiempo que no leía nada tan redondo en cómic como Locke and Key. Una casa enorme llena de secretos, sombras que obedecen órdenes, llaves que abren puertas a cualquier lugar del mundo o al interior de tu propia cabeza, demonios, asesinos, fantasmas y tres hermanos adolescentes (bueno, dos adolescentes y un niño) que tratan de sobrevivir a todo más o menos cuerdos. El guión es de Joe Hill, hijo de Stephen King, que parece saber un par de cosas sobre escribir misterio, y el dibujo, limpio, elegante y lleno de detalles, de Gabriel Rodríguez. En 2011, cuando aún faltaba un año para terminar la serie,  se llevó un premio Eisner a mejor guionista, y casi completan la pareja con mejor dibujante (sin menospreciar a Skottie Young, que ganó finalmente, lo merecía).

Hemlock Grove


Hemlock Grove no es una buena serie. La primera temporada podría serlo, si se puliera un poco. Tiene escenas francamente buenas y hay química entre los actores. En las dos siguientes cambian los guionistas y se nota bastante, parece que no saben qué hacer con los personajes. Sin embargo, es una serie que engancha, y tiene una de las mejores transformaciones en hombre lobo que he visto en pantalla (un poco gore, eso sí):

I want you


Esta obsesiva canción de Elvis Costello me obsesiona. La versión original del autor ya era muy buena, pero luego llega Fiona apple con ese vozarrón y me hace ESTO. El acompañamiento de Costello a la guitarra también me encanta


Oh my baby baby I love you more than I can tell
I don't think I can live without you
And I know that I never will
Oh my baby baby I want you so it scares me to death
I can't say anymore than "I love you"
Everything else is a waste of breath

I want you
You've had your fun you don't get well no more
I want you
Your fingernails go dragging down the wall
Be careful darling you might fall
I want you
I woke up and one of us was crying
I want you
You said "Young man I do believe you're dying"
I want you
If you need a second opinion as you seem to do these days
I want you
You can look in my eyes and you can count the ways

I want you
Did you mean to tell me but seem to forget
I want you
Since when were you so generous and inarticulate
I want you
It's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for
It's the way your shoulders shake and what they're shaking for
I want you
It's knowing that he knows you now after only guessing
It's the thought of him undressing you or you undressing

I want you
He tossed some tatty compliment your way
I want you
And you were fool enough to love it when he said
"I want you"

I want you
The truth can't hurt you it's just like the dark
It scares you witless
But in time you see things clear and stark
I want you
Go on and hurt me then we'll let it drop
I want you
I'm afraid I won't know where to stop
I want you
I'm not ashamed to say I cried for you
I want you
I want to know the things you did that we do too
I want you
I want to hear he pleases you more than I do
I want you
I might as well be useless for all it means to you
I want you
Did you call his name out as he held you down
I want you
Oh no my darling not with that clown
I want you

I want you
You've had your fun you don't get well no more
I want you
No-one who wants you could want you more

I want you

I want you

I want you
Every night when I go off to bed and when I wake up
I want you

I'm going to say it again 'til I instill it
I know I'm going to feel this way until you kill it
I want you
