Gran Torino - Great movie

I went to see it on saturday and I would go again. And so should you.
Clint Eastwood keeps getting better! Too bad its said that this was his last role.
Some reviews just say that Dirty Harry is back and that the film is empty.
Walt, the polish war veteran played by Eastwood, appears to be a racist old man that hates everything that moves and is not white. He fought in the korean war and has some resentment against asian people. Another thing that upsets him is the fact that his neighborhood that was once white, is now populated with asians, that are mostly good people, just ordinary families, but that make him feel like he's the odd one now.
When we see the movie we can realise that everyone's got a foreign background. Walt's white friends are italian, irish, polish, and they all swear racist jokes at each-other. This is just how they're used to mingle. And this makes us understand that maybe he's not racist at all. He's just a grumpy old man with an politically-incorrect vocabulary.

Mão Morta no Cinema São Jorge-4

Mão Morta's photos of last gig at Cinema São Jorge in Lisbon are already online so take a look.
The concert was 2 weeks ago and somehow difficult to shoot.
The lights were placed behind the artists and as the venue is a old cinema theatre, the seats reach the edge of the stage.

I confess I'm in need of more bands to shoot, my blog and flickr gallery are starting to look like they were Mão Morta's.
If you play in a band and need some promo pics, just drop me an email and I'll see what can be done..

at the stadium

This photo was taken a few weeks ago by Inácio Rosa at the Belenenses Stadium after the Belenenses-Amadora football game.
I was carrying my tiny camera and a heavy tele-lens. Almost like a pro.

I should upgrade my own memory.

(Note to myself).
1. When the washer/dryer is working, it has water inside. Hot water.
2. When it's drying my clothes it reaches very hot temperatures.
3. I should always check my jeans' pockets for things before putting the machine to work.

Things like Compact Flash memory cards.
Amazingly, it still works.
Not all is lost.

ANTZZZ!!

These little buggers are *starting* to piss me off!
They open little tiny holes between floorboards and bring sand from outside into my house.
