Mae comenta en su blog sus títulos de crédito favoritos de las series que está viendo ahora mismo y me ha dado la idea de hacer algo parecido. Antes de nada tengo que confesar que habitualmente suelo adelantar los títulos de crédito, pero hay algunas ocasiones, que ya sea por la música, la serie en sí, o lo que contaban los títulos de créditos era imposible que adelantase esa parte, en mi mente es obligatorio verlos. Aquí tenéis cinco de esos ejemplos.
Tal y como dice Mae, escuchar los títulos de crédito como los del Doctor Who te meten completamente en la historia. En este caso se tratan de los títulos de crédito del último especial de navidad.
Estos son los títulos de crédito de la tercera temporada, donde Ivanova leía el siguiente texto
The Babylon Project was our last, best hope for peace. It failed. But in the year of the Shadow War, it became something greater: our last, best hope…for victory. The year is 2260. The place, Babylon 5.
De todos los textos que leen en las diferentes cinco temporadas de la serie, este siempre fue el que más me gustó.
Al igual que el anterior, vuelvo a repetir con los títulos de la tercera temporada. En este caso John Crichton lee lo siguiente
My name is John Chriton, I’m lost, an astronaut, shot through a wormhole, in some distant part of the universe, I’m trying to stay alive, aboard this ship, this living ship, of escape prisoners, my friends, if you can hear me, beware, if I make it back, if I open the door, are you ready?, Earth is unprepared, helpless, for the nightmares, I’ve seen, or should I stay?, protect my home, not show them, you exists, but them you’ll never know, the wonders I seen…
La tercera temporada, desde mi punto de vista es la mejor de la serie, sobretodo los últimos capítulos.
Sí, lo sé, con esto de la Comic-Con ando muy pesado con Joss Whedon, pero que le vamos hacer, no me apetece publicar otra cosa. Una pequeña entrevista con el maestro
No solamente de Doctor Who vive uno, más cosas interesantes han pasado en la Comic-Con, sobretodo las relacionadas con Joss Whedon y Doctor Horrible.
La gran noticia obviamente es que tienen planeado hacer nuevos capítulos de la serie. Después de ver el personaje de Death-Horse, era casi obligado continuar la serie. Desde luego, Joss Whedon esta encantado con esto de las webseries
“I’m older, and balder/wiser than when I made Firefly, and I approach things differently. I take it one episode at a time. And any episode we don’t get out…I can make stuff on the internet now!” Cheers.
“Besides the fact that we all had an enormous amount of fun, this was designed to be a model for a new way to put out media, an artistic community that involves all of you guys, and all of us, and maybe not so much… other people.”
“I’m not trying to bring down the studios, I do still work there, as we all do, and I’m grateful for it…but things are changing, and its really important that as things change, they change for the better, and Dr. Horrible is about that, its about putting power in differnet hands — THE WRONG HANDS.”
Casi tan importante como eso fue la la confirmación de que en unas semanas estará disponible la banda sonora de la serie ¡Un montón de letras interesantes para poder cantar en el coche o en la ducha!
Unas frases para recordar del panel
Fillion on his penis: “Shaped like a hammer. (To Joss) You saw it.” Joss: “That was a great day. The day I gave him the part of Mal.”
A parte de esto hubo más cositas relacionadas con Joss Whedon. De entrada la confirmación de nuevos cómics de Serenity. Más interesante que los cómics es la idea de que a Joss Whedon le gustaría crear algún webepisode de Firefly, desde luego a mí me encantaría.
También es curioso la mención de que Russell T. Davies está interesado en hacer algo similar a ‘Once More with Feeling’ para Torchwood, obviamente con un guión escrito por Joss Whedon. A este le encanta la idea, pero piensa que lo debería escribir Davies. La verdad, un capítulo de Torchwood escrito por Whedon y actuando James Marsters sería apoteósico.
Steven Moffat, la nueva mano que estará detrás del Doctor Who a partir del año 2010 en su quinta temporada asistió a la ComicCon, aquí tenéis un par de vídeos sobre sus comentarios, a pesar de que el audio no es muy bueno.
“I decided to give up a life of friends to write for it” and “a life of virginity has kept me pure.”
“The fact is, I’m very proud of the ep we shot, and the series is making me crazy with the excitement,” Whedon wrote. “But I tend to come at things sideways, and there were a few clarity issues for some viewers. There were also some slight issues with tone–I was in a dark, noir kind of place (where, as many of you know, I make my home) and didn’t bring the visceral pop the network had expected from the script. The network was cool about it, but not sure how to come out of the gate with the ep.”
Pero también [Moffat] tuvo que pegar saltos de alegría cuando Steven Spielberg contactó con él para que escribiera tres guiones para la adaptación de Tintin que quiere hacer. Al fin y al cabo hacer un guión de cine y con Spielberg sería el sueño de cualquier guionista… La tele no deja de ser un producto menor y el Doctor sólo es una serie de esas de bichitos…
Pero no, no lo es para Moffat. Porque dado que por culpa de la huelga y otros asuntos al final se le ha juntado escribir los guiones para Tintin con su trabajo de showrunner del Doctor y puestos a elegir ha elegido al Doctor, porque escribir el Doctor era su sueño desde que tenía 7 años. Con fans comprometidos cumpliendo su sueño detrás del Doctor una sólo no se extraña que hagan las cosas bien y no es de extrañar que el Doctor sea, en mi opinión, la mejor serie en emisión a años luz de cualquiera.
If you’re going to get into the Evil League of Evil, you have to have a memorable laugh. What, do you think Bad Horse didn’t work on his whinny? His terrible, death whinny?
Doctor Horrible
It’s not about making money, it’s about taking money. Destroying the status quo. Because the status, is not quo.
Doctor Horrible
I also need to be a little bit more careful about what I say on this blog. Apparently, the LAPD and Captain Hammer are among our viewers.
Doctor Horrible
We do the weird stuff!
Las groupies de Captian Hammer
Penny: I’ll be interested to know what you think of him [Captain Hammer]. He said he might stop by. Billy: Stop by here? Penny: Yeah. Billy: (checks wrist for watch, but he is not wearing one) Oh, goodness, look at my wrist. I gotta go. Penny: But what about your clothes? Billy: (checks contents of washer) I don’t love these. See ya!
Vale, lo reconozco, me estoy pasando mucho con una miniserie que todavía no he visto ni un solo minuto de la misma. Pero es que necesito mi dosis de algo nuevo de Joss Whedon, y Dollhouse no empieza hasta el año que viene.
Pues a lo que iba, montones de entrevistas y críticas sobre la serie circulan por internet. Como esta de Gawker
Q. Nathan Fillion and Neil Patrick Harris in an Internet musical in which the lovable loser baddy is kind of the good guy, and the good guy is kind of a dick—and it’s a musical?! Um, how? Wha? How on earth did this develop?
A. Who is to say who is the villain and who is the hero? Probably the dictionary. But I know that people who grow up identifying with outsiders are the people I are. Plus singing is the universal language, along with being on fire.
“The basic plotline is that it’s about this wannabe mad scientist character [Harris], and he’s really just a lovable guy who is in love with the Penny [Day] character, and it’s about him wanting to do more and be more and change the world, but of course, you get Joss’ great spin on things, where he’s actually trying to get into this Evil League and then there’s a hero [Fillion] who everyone loves who …” Boretz hesitates on the description. “He always reminds me of Gaston from BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.”
Joss Whedon says Dr. Horrible’s budget is “in the low six figures.” Though many favours were called in, Whedon adds that there was no financial corner-cutting in trying to get around the various unions that represent him, his fellow writers, the actors and the technicians. As a supporter of the WGA strike, Whedon stresses that he felt it was particularly important to follow union rules. “You don’t make a statement about what we [in the film and television business] have to do as a community by screwing people over.”
It wasn’t hard for Whedon to persuade the actors to sign on. “Any time Joss calls you, it’s going to be something cool,” says Fillion.
I know. It’s not much of a tease, but you’d be tight-lipped too if you’d been at last night’s premiere screening for the cast and crew, where Joss asked us reporter types to defy our natural busybody tendencies and help protect the story of the show. (Seriously, can anyone say no to Joss?)
So what I can tell you is that Dr. Horrible is an hour-and-fifteen-minute-long show shot specifically for the Web, and it will make you want to jump through the screen and hand Neil, Joss and Nathan a lifetime supply of Emmys, Webbies, Grammys or whatever it is you give to guys who like to sing about being superheroes and supervillains. I totally loved it.
Recordar, hoy ya podéis ver el primer capítulo en drhorrible.com. Estarán disponibles de forma gratuita hasta el día 20.
Prodigeek - How did you kind of come to this idea of an internet musical about a superhero?
Whedon - I had come up with the concept and the title originally as an audio podcast. I wanted to write a song. I was tired of not writing songs and I wanted a structure to write from. And I though this guy would have a blog and sing about what’s going on with him. It would be a fun thing to do. Then, during the strike, when everyone was looking to create internet content, I thought of it as a limited series. Then when I decided to do it myself, I thought of it as an even more limited series. It played itself out pretty simply. I brought writers in; we knew from the start exactly what we wanted to do. I had written the songs for it a while ago. The first song was called “My Freeze Ray.” I played that for the other writers. We got sort of an idea of sound, and then we started breaking a story. We broke it into three acts, a mini-series event, and then hopefully to make it a downloadable commodity. In addition to creating something out of love of musicals and love of the fans, I also wanted to create something where we could make money doing our own thing, outside the system. I also want to, in a perfect dream world, pay my crew.
El martes comienza a emitirse en internet, aquí tenéis el trailer para refrescar la memoria
