Feliç 2011 a tots els pseudoautors!
Les persones solem recordar, inclús celebrar, algunes dates. Per exemple: la del nostre natalici, la de l'entrada de Jaume I a la ciutat de València, la de la derrota de la batalla d’Almansa, la del Dia de l’Orgull Gai o, si parlem numèricament, en este mes de desembre trobem diversos dies assenyalats: el 6, el 8, el 25, el 28... Bingo! Precisament, un 28 de desembre de fa tres anys, un tal Calin ficava la primera pedra d’esta obra faraònica i fanfarrònica que és El Penjoll.
Com que tota pedra fa paret, volem reivindicar una altra data significativa per als penjollaires de bon cor: la del 23-6-2009, el dia en què el Comitè d’Empresa del Sant Orifici (CESO) d’El Penjoll va portar a terme el 1r ERO. Creguem que els EROs són un pseudosubgènere literari que combina aspectes de la cantiga d’escarni galaicoportuguesa, l’enquesta d’opinió popular, el ritual cristià de l'eucaristia, la carta d’acomiadament empresarial, l’edicte inquisitorial, l’epitafi virtual i, per què no? la milonga gautxesca. Un ERO ben executat és una meravella. És més que un art: és un pseudoart!
Ens sembla una falta de respecte als pseudoautors, l'haver-nos oblidat d'ells i no haver-los dedicat cap ERO durant el 2010, com bé és mereixen. Per això, volem fer-los la nostra modesta i molesta contribució i retribució. L’any no pot acabar sense un ERO. Ja sabeu com funciona la implacable maquinària suïssa d’un ERO: Es fa publica una llista amb els pseudoautors que incompleixen el seu contracte d’autor (és dir, la norma 2 d'estil), per a que els lectors decidiu, mitjançant els vostres vots, si cal salvar-ne a algun dels nominats al sever castic de l’expulsió morisca (recordem que els nominats també es poden autosalvar escrivint un post al llarg d'esta setmana).
Volem començar esta nova etapa dels EROs de bon rollet i fent una aplicació políticament correcta de la normativa vigent. Per evitar ser masclistes, hem elaborat la llista aplicant la discriminació positiva. Ací teniu les quatre heroïnes nominades:
- Peguie
- Clídice
- Tricia Barrachina
Comprovareu que dues d’elles són repetidores en açò d’estar assenyalades pel dit inquisitorial. Fem memòria històrica: Peguie és l'única pseudoautora que s’ha vist salvada per decisió popular en un ERO.... La salvarà per segona vegada el comodí del públic? Heidi, després d’haver estat fulminada en el 8é ERO, sembla que es va acollir a la 5a esmena i continua estant en plantilla. Per la seua part, Trícia només ha publicat dos posts, l’últim d’ells el passat i llunya mes de març. I el mèrit de Clídice és que ni tan sols ha debutat amb un post.
A la columna de la dreta teniu actiu el formulari per votar.
Oh, lectors d’El Penjoll! Vosaltres voteu, vosaltres decidiu!
No podem acabar este post sense dedicar-lo a la memòria dels pseudoautors ajusticiats per la desgràcia divina dels EROs. Concretament a: La tomaca socarrà, Ángel Canet, Kaito, Rociner, Paco Pérez, Carles Mulet, Toni de l’Hostal, All i Berator, Maia (l’abella), Assemblea de Joves de la Costera, Valldalbaidí, Aleshores Gairebé, Sor Neguera, Dorademon, Emili Morant, L'Anticrist, Jordi, l'Aschenbach, Sra Rotten Mayer, Jorodowski, En Xim de Ca'n Prunes, Perlateuaculpa, Smokman, Miquel de Sentfeliu, Kurtz, Paco, Menta amb fraula, Capità Superflipo (el fals), Albert Compte, Petit Príncep, Endsi, Vicent, Vicent Lluna, Ecosafor, Marxi, Refelet, Heidi, Lluís (el Tarrascla), Ací o per allà, Drac Mondúver, La Lluna en un Cove i a El funambuliste. Si ens hem oblidat d’algú, preguem ens disculpe.
Feliç 2011 a tots i cadascun dels pseudoautors!
Che bella giornata (2010)di Gennaro Nunziante
POSTATO SU 
Forse solo Carlo Verdone era riuscito a fare tanto, passare dai programmi comici televisivi al cinema con un grande successo e ripetersi qualitativamente anche nel secondo film.
Che bella giornata è nè più nè meno Cado dalle nubi (vi è piaciuto quello, vi piacerà questo), che in sè già è tanto. E' tanto fare un film onestamente divertente, consapevole dei propri limiti ma soprattutto delle proprie potenzialità, scritto senza nessuna abilità particolare ma con l'intelligenza degli script rapidi e ben organizzati, centrato sulle gag e funzionale ad esse (e nulla più eh!).
C'è poco altro da dire su Che bella giornata. Presenta Checco Zalone nel suo classico personaggio che stavolta sogna di diventare tutore dell'ordine come è tradizione nella sua famiglia, ma dopo diversi tentativi nella carriera da Carabiniere (scartato per la sua incorreggibile tendenza a promuovere le irregolarità compiute dai suoi familiari) viene preso da un cardinale (dietro raccomandazione ovviamente) per lavorare alla tutela dei beni della Chiesa a Milano. Sarà bersaglio delle attenzione di un'attentatrice maghrebina che vuole far saltare in aria la Madonnina ma che crollerà davanti alla tenera goffagine e alla corte di Checco.
Ho raccontato per bene la trama perchè la cosa più interessante è proprio come, al di là della più classica delle critiche sociali ("Ah ma tu hai studiato! Tranquilla qui non serve a niente, da noi non si fa un cazzo!"), c'è anche un modo curioso di concatenare gli eventi. Le solite critiche all'Italia sono un pelo più forti e un pelo più radicali del solito.
E' chiaro che tutto è funzionale alle gag e quindi la corte che Checco fa alla maghrebina si risolverà in un nulla di fatto a livello sentimentale ma lei cambierà idea sul suo attentato, tuttavia il modo insensato con cui i fatti accadono (Zalone, riconosciuto incompetente da tutti e causa di mille problemi per il suo lassismo meridionale, viene continuamente promosso e piace a tutti, tanto da far cambiare idea alla ragazza a furia di furti e abusi di potere) ricorda quasi il modo in cui Lumet dipingeva il suo protagonista in Prova ad incastrarmi: criminale incallito ma talmente simpatico da farla franca in un sistema incline a favorirlo.
Che non è poco.

2010 Washington City Paper comics writings
At the beginning of 2009, arts editor Jonathan Fischer asked me if I wanted to write about local comics and cartoons for the Washington City Paper. I was a bit doubtful, but appreciated the offer and took him up on it. I'd like to thank everyone who's cooperated especially local cartoonists and the staff of the Library of Congress (for the pieces on Fredric Wertham). I haven't been quite as wide-ranging as I was hoping, but this is getting squeezed in around the real world of course. I hope you'll find something of interest that you might have missed in the first place. A list of everything that got posted this year follows.

No-felicitació de Nadal
Els meus amics, els qui em lligen o no, però se m'acosten a l'íntim batec que em representa, aquells qui m'estimen o no, saben -amb escreix- que un príncep dibuixa aquest rètol de la capçalera.I vull deixar constatació de la No Felicitació de Nadal amb una dolcesa i rebel•lia inigualables.
No he de dir-vos que us estime a cada hora, tant assegut en les penes quan manprenc cabòries, com si camine en les hores més pures i blanques.
De vegades us pense al tobogan dels versos més somnis.
I no sempre us ho dic, perquè aneu abillats de vidre càlid, tots alerta en la lluita, sense treva, endreçant l'esperança.
Aleshores, davant del vostre i grandiós espectacle, camine de puntetes amb silenci.
Us estime sempre, rere cada paraula siga o no un adverbi, rere els fets, en l'acció del compromís sense sou, en la corba galant de l'espai mut, en la neu, si escriviu, calleu, comenteu o llegiu.
Aquests dies de bogeria incongruent no he comprat res d'especial, ni viatges, ni regals. No us mentiré: dos llibres de la biblioteca, menjar per la gossa -des d'Aín us saluda-, dues tàrbenes i quatre llonganisses i, al forn de ca Manil, pa per torrar.
Així i tot, en l'aprenentatge d'aquesta despossessió, sóc encara un novençà.
Us ho pregue: tingueu paciència, ni que siga una mica, que no renegue de vosaltres, mestres, companyes, amics i companys; car aquest viure en combat és la vertadera festa meua, que no coneix de paraules falses, ni aparences...
Vosaltres, els d'ulls nets d'impostures i instigadors dels circumloquis i la mentida fosca: vostra és la llum tan generosa que regaleu des del Penjoll.
Els meus amics senzills, cultes, austers... sense data de caducitat.

Washington Post's year in editorial cartoons

Chris Morris illustration of Santa's sleigh's dashboard
Dashing through the snow... with NORAD and Google
[Cross-posted from the Official Google Blog]
Every Christmas Eve, children all over the world ask themselves—and their parents—questions about Santa’s magical journey. How does Santa visit so many children in one night? Will he eat the cookies I left out? How does he fit all those presents into his sleigh? These childhood mysteries are part of what makes the Santa tradition so special.
There’s one timeless question that we’re proud to say we can help answer: Where in the world is Santa at this very moment? Thanks in part to recent advances in warp-speed GPS technology and some very clever elves (elveneering?) NORAD Tracks Santa is once again prepped and ready to go.
Starting tomorrow, December 24 at 2:00am EST, visit www.noradsanta.org to follow Santa as he journeys around the world delivering presents to children in more than 200 countries and territories. There are a few different ways to find the jolly old man in his unmistakable red suit over the course of the day, so feel free to track him using any of the following methods:
NORAD (North American Aerospace Defence Command) first began to track Santa in 1955 when a misprinted advertisement in a Sears & Roebuck catalogue mistakenly led callers expecting a Santa-hotline to the NORAD commander-in-chief's telephone. Embracing the spirit of the season, NORAD used its satellite and radar capabilities to offer callers sleigh-location updates, and has tracked Santa's whereabouts on Christmas Eve ever since. Then in 2004, Google started tracking Santa on Google Earth as a 20% project, which in 2007 grew into a partnership with NORAD, adding the mapping technology of Google Maps and Google Earth to the NORAD experience. Over the years, other Google teams have also joined in the holiday fun (YouTube, Google Voice’s www.SendACallFromSanta.com and Google SketchUp).
As we approach this year’s Christmas Eve adventure, Santa was able to take a break from the preparations to visit the New York Stock Exchange this past Monday. His helpful elves kept everything at the North Pole on schedule while folks from Google and NORAD attended the Closing Bell ceremony, and stood alongside Santa from Macy’s going over last minute details about tomorrow’s big ride.
So don’t forget to visit www.noradsanta.org tomorrow morning starting at 2:00am EST when Santa embarks on his flight. From all of us here at Google, happy holidays and here’s to a very happy New Year!

- See Santa on a Google Map: On your home computer or laptop, visit www.noradsanta.org and choose your preferred language. You’ll see a large Google Map on the page displaying Santa’s current location and his next stop. Click the video icons to watch “Santa Cam” videos, and click the gift icons to learn more about each city.
- Watch Santa fly with the Google Earth Plug-in: From www.noradsanta.org, click on the link Track Santa in Google Earth. You'll see Santa steering his sleigh right on the webpage. If you don't have the Google Earth plug-in, you can get ready by downloading it ahead of time.

NORAD (North American Aerospace Defence Command) first began to track Santa in 1955 when a misprinted advertisement in a Sears & Roebuck catalogue mistakenly led callers expecting a Santa-hotline to the NORAD commander-in-chief's telephone. Embracing the spirit of the season, NORAD used its satellite and radar capabilities to offer callers sleigh-location updates, and has tracked Santa's whereabouts on Christmas Eve ever since. Then in 2004, Google started tracking Santa on Google Earth as a 20% project, which in 2007 grew into a partnership with NORAD, adding the mapping technology of Google Maps and Google Earth to the NORAD experience. Over the years, other Google teams have also joined in the holiday fun (YouTube, Google Voice’s www.SendACallFromSanta.com and Google SketchUp).
As we approach this year’s Christmas Eve adventure, Santa was able to take a break from the preparations to visit the New York Stock Exchange this past Monday. His helpful elves kept everything at the North Pole on schedule while folks from Google and NORAD attended the Closing Bell ceremony, and stood alongside Santa from Macy’s going over last minute details about tomorrow’s big ride.

So don’t forget to visit www.noradsanta.org tomorrow morning starting at 2:00am EST when Santa embarks on his flight. From all of us here at Google, happy holidays and here’s to a very happy New Year!
Today of all days
In principio era il buddy movie, quella categoria di film in cui due amici collaborano per uno scopo comune. Solitamente sono film d'azione, solitamente sono anche commedie, solitamente sono maschilisti. Roba da uomini.
Come Today of all days, webserie che non è una serie ma una miniserie, cioè solo 3 episodi molto brevi e non autoconclusivi, un piccolo racconto quasi in tempo reale di quello che succede ad uno sposo e al suo migliore amico mentre questi lo accompagna in chiesa.
Lo spunto apparentemente banale presta il fianco ad una storiella tra il divertito e il generazionale. Nei pochi minuti in cui Today of all days dispiega la sua trama (il migliore amico dello sposo è un mercenario e si dà il caso debba portare a termine un lavoro che include una sparatoria proprio in quel momento) facendo intelligente economia di location e di ripresa, non manca di mostrare tutti i momenti, i valori e i luoghi comuni tipici di una certa tipologia umana. L'azione funzionale ai personaggi e non viceversa. Nel terzo episodio la serie si concede addirittura anche un momento in stile Call Of Duty di rara intelligenza, non tanto per la realizzazione (facile) quanto per il modo in cui lo si inserisce nel racconto (difficile) e gli effetti che questo lascia sui personaggi (ancora più difficile).
