2 weeks to go buddy... Esta semana ha tocado desfilar por Sitges. Uno de esos festivales que siempre da gusto ir. No voy a entrar en detalle de todos los largometrajes que vimos, aunque si que recomiendo ver la ópera prima de Duncan Jones (hijo de David Bowie) Moon . Un film a camino entre la epopeya emocional de un individuo abandonado a su suerte en una estación espacial en la Luna, y el debate ético y moral de un futuro no muy lejano. Sam Rockwell (Frost contra Nixon, La milla verde, etc.) está fantástico. [...]

Wikipedia sums up today's entry quite tidily: Walk on the Wild Side is a Lou Reed song from his 1972 second solo album Transformer . It was produced by David Bowie. The song received wide radio coverage, despite its touching on topics such as transsexuality, drugs, male prostitutes and oral sex and the term "colored" to refer to African Americans. The lyrics tell of a series of individuals and their journeys to New York City, and is a thinly-veiled biography of several [...]
