A blog about nothing. Saturday, February 14, 2009. The Underrated and Overrated Series: 2 - SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE. The execution of this wonderful idea, however, is another matter. In few words, I was not able to get through the amateurish acting, the conventional characters and the melodramatic love fable, to focus on the general idea, the interesting cinematography, the philosophical aspects of a life in the slums of Mumbai, or the historical significance of India's growth in the late 20th century. But I...

A blog about nothing. Monday, September 21, 2009. The Legend of Martin McDonagh. Dad, ya bastard, how are you? It’s me dad ( Pause. I’m grand indeed, Dad, grand. How is all Inishmore?

http://carlosaboutnothing.blogspot.com/2009/02/underrated-and-overrated-series-episode.html
A blog about nothing. Saturday, February 14, 2009. The Underrated and Overrated Series: 1 - INTRODUCTION. Last year I wrote about why I considered Sydney Pollack. To be an underrated filmmaker. That wasn’t a random thought. Trying to identify underrated and overrated things is one of my favorite sports. Of course the result of this is that every day the opinionated people and the media end up dictating what the majority like or dislike, or at least what they think they like or dislike (I swear I wasnR...

A blog about nothing. Sunday, December 6, 2009. The Underrated and Overrated Series: 4 - THE INFLATED HEROES. As a child growing up in Venezuela, I spent a lot of time at the beach. And I really enjoyed it. Digging for mussels, building sand castles, feeling the warm sun over my shoulders and the wet sand under my toes, listening to the sound of my own breathing while snorkeling and perceiving the world above the water as distant and muffled… I loved it all. Here are a few examples. Some do (index funds ...

Consistent vs. flexible governments. At a recent event that started as a barbeque to celebrate the graduation of my friend Jose from his PhD program but ended up as an endurance competition in wine tasting, I had the opportunity to talk with a funny Norwegian guy who runs marathons, loves Argentinean soccer and enjoys Ma...

http://carlosaboutnothing.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
A blog about nothing. Wednesday, June 18, 2008. The World is Flat. so is this book. Tom Friedman is one of my favorite journalists. As the foreign-affairs columnist of the New York Times, he raises awareness on important global issues that tend to be overlooked by most of the internationally myopic American media. Unfortunately, I finished the last page with the feeling that I had just read, not 300,000 words of wisdom, but a really long, average column. with a hardcover. Capitalism and PCs –. The fall o...

A blog about nothing. Sunday, March 1, 2009. The Underrated and Overrated Series: 3 - THE ROUTINE. 8220;Routine” is in many countries -including the U.S.- almost a bad word. It represents something dangerous that can ruin relationships, destroy dreams and waste lives. Even the strongest love can fade away as a result of long-term exposure to the R-Word. A routinary life -they teach us- is unfulfilled, lonely, unexciting… sad. 8211;What the hell am I doing? A few months ago, I realized that I didn’t...
