Uno de los grandes diálogos de Almost Famous, de los cuales claramente me siento identificado en algún nivel. La vimos en la playita para el 18, que por lo demás estuvo excelente. Nuevamente Nico, su frasecita es muy cierta.

Lester Bangs
: Aw, man. You made friends with them. See, friendship is the booze they feed you. They want you to get drunk on feeling like you belong.
William Miller: Well, it was fun.
Lester Bangs: They make you feel cool. And hey. I met you. You are not cool.
William Miller: I know. Even when I thought I was, I knew I wasn't.
Lester Bangs: That's because we're uncool. And while women will always be a problem for us, most of the great art in the world is about that very same problem. Good-looking people don't have any spine. Their art never lasts. They get the girls, but we're smarter.
William Miller: I can really see that now.
Lester Bangs: Yeah, great art is about conflict and pain and guilt and longing and love disguised as sex, and sex disguised as love... and let's face it, you got a big head start.
William Miller: I'm glad you were home.
Lester Bangs: I'm always home. I'm uncool.
William Miller: Me too!
Lester Bangs: The only true currency in this bankrupt world if what we share with someone else when we're uncool.
William Miller: I feel better.
Lester Bangs: My advice to you. I know you think those guys are your friends. You wanna be a true friend to them? Be honest, and unmerciful.

don don...no habia dadome el tiempo para rubricar este blog, pero de apoco me estoy haciendo asiduo y se agradece su vision de las cosas. como buen suntory, no esperaba menos.

y que puedo decir de la cita en cuestion...hay mucho de la filosofia loser club detras. tal vez una opcion seria mutar -en una suerte de upgrade positivista de la vida- a dejar de ser loser y simplemente ser uncool club. nah, a quien engañamos...

salut
