This is an amazing short film called Ataque de Pánico! (Panic Attack!). It’s an amazing low budget sci-fi short film created by the Uruguayan guy Fede Alvarez with professional tools such as Rigging and a few friends with great passion for doing things to be seen on the Internet. The cost of this short film was $200 and it was filmed in Montevideo.

A Hollywood company is really interested in this project so maybe we could see a powerful full movie with this story soon. It would be perfect to see the movie on the big screen of the theater. Great job.

The new trailer of Avatar in HD is coming to the official Apple site but in the meantime you can watch the international trailer now to see what is going to happen this Christmas. I think this movie will rock.

Cíclope (Cyclops) is a Spanish Sci-Fi short film people will see here in theaters before in the new Bruce Willis movie titled Surrogates. The movie will be released on September 25th.

Cyclops is set in the future of a new Madrid. It is the story of two policemen who are brothers. It follows the inner turmoil of one of the brothers, suffering terrible nightmares, who begins to question his position in the Police Force, all due to a mistake that will probably haunt the rest of his life.

The short film looks really awesome and serious and I would like to see it as soon as I can. This is the trailer in Spanish (sorry but there aren’t trailers in English):

I only can say….wow!!!

I love TV episodes and now we have this amazing tool which is the Internet, I thought that we could use it for watching all our favourite TV shows online. So I discovered Hulu, Fancast and other websites where people were saying that you were allowed to see the latest episodes online in streaming and even watching HD episodes at 1080p. Therefore I loaded Hulu and I found out tons of TV shows and movies ready to be watched by fans, I mean Galactica, Heroes, Fringe, Desperate Housewives, House, CSI, etc. And I was also ready with my computer and my HD monitor to see them online but when I loaded one selected episode a gorgeous message appeared on the screen: “We are sorry, currently our library can only be streamed within the United States…” and I’m living in Spain.

What?? I couldn’t believe what I was reading. I was terribly wrong about the tool I thought the Internet was. They are streaming those episodes for the USA residents and they are sending the rest of the world to hell. And we are the Internet users just like the USA residents but we are suffering the stupidity of some companies that have their rights to broadcast in the USA only which is an absolutely rubbish. The Internet is something global and we need to have the same rights to see Lost online instead of download all the Lost episodes from p2p networks. What the hell are they thinking? I mean the greatest solution to close p2p networks is opening the broadcast for everybody whether you live in the USA or not. Think about that please.

It’s the same thing about watching BBC online. You are only allowed to see all that you want if you’re UK resident. Brilliant!! I can’t watch Doctor Who or Torchwood. What can I see?

The final sentence: The Internet has to be a global multimedia library without restrictions to watch all the TV shows or movies that you want online. That’s the point I would like to get someday even if you have to pay for that.

I grew up with the Stock Aitken & Waterman music, Kylie, Jason Donovan, Bananarama, Sonia, Big Fun, etc and Bananarama was one of my favourite pop groups in the 80’s.
In September they are going to release “Viva” which is their new album. “Love Comes” is the first single.

Awesome!!!
