PARIS TERRORIST ATTACKS

I've created this post because I think it's important to talk about what has happened in Paris these few weeks.
The night of the November 23 a series of deadly shootings and suicide attacks were committed in the evening in Paris by three distinct commandos. These terrorist attacks were prepared and executed by the Islamic state, also know as Daesh.
These attacks stood at various sites of Paris, such as on the same street and in a nightclub called Bataclan, and these attacks killed 123 civilians.
Personally I think that what happened is totally awful and heartless, and I think that it's a shame that these attacks are possible to be realised in our society, because it proves that some people can be very evil and that nobody is sure of what can happen because deep down you never know what can go on around you.
Hopefully, this disaster didn't let humanity indifferent and I think a huge part of the population has realized how sad it is and that we all have to fight and to not be intimidated for that between us we can create a better world to live in peace and in a harmonious way.
I also consider that although these terrorists have attacked the society in the name of their religion, it's not the right thing to create amalgamations with the religion, because I think that these terrorists just represent a minority and that are not truelly carriers of the beliefs of people.

Hollywood's Diversity Problem Doesn't Get More Obvious Than This

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/hollywood-reporter-roundtable-cover-diversity_564ccbe5e4b08c74b733c9e4?utm_hp_ref=media&ir=Media&section=media


Summary

The news talks about the fact that in the special issue of The Hollywood Reporter that is published every year and where they put forward some actresses who are possible candidates to receive awards for their work in tv and movies, there's no shortage of talented women of color. 
The news says that the lack of women of coulour was so palpable that the magazone had to publish it with an essay titled "Why Every Actress on The Hollywood Reporter Roundtable Cover Is White." Stephen Galloway, the executive director of THR, said that even for him, a white man, it was impossible to ignore that there wasn't any black actress. Gallaway thinks that this is appalling, but it just represents the awful truth, which is that this year there are no actresses belonging to a minority that are being nominated for an Oscar. 
Galloway gives the fault on Industry for not putting ahead many colored actresses, because he says the Academy and the magazine don't make films, they just recognize the work that the industry creates. 
An important quote has been given by Viola Davis, an Academy Award nominee, and she says you can win any award for work that doesn't exist.

Lindsay Lohan Is Dead Serious About Running For President

http://elitedaily.com/entertainment/lindsay-lohan-dead-serious-running-president/1250900/

Published on the Elite Daily, the news talks about the fact that Lindsay Lohan is serious when she says that she's running for president.
The famous trainwreck  announced her decision to run for prez via Instagram, and he seems to actually be pretty serious and not be kidding. 
Even if Lindsay's announcement was very unexpected, it wasn't surprising because that's what people like her does. But our lack of understanding is that lately she hasn't been on the focus of the attention and she hasn't acted in any movie in the past 5 years. The only thing that she has done these years is spending time in jail. 
With humour, the news ends with saying that a felony rap sheet limits one's ability to run for president but though she'd be better than Trump.

MY ROUTINE

Everyday I wake up at 7:30 pm. I'm in high school, in IES Castelló d'Empúries and I'm doing 1st of Batxillerat. I don't like too much going to school but well, I have to, it's a part of life. Then, when I arrive at home at 2:30 pm I get some relax. I watch tv or series that I like, and I usually watch "Mujeres y hombres y viceversa", a spanish reality. If I have homework I do them and if I have exams I study. Sometimes I go to Castelló d'Empúries and I hang out with my friends. My weeks are kind of boring, going to school and studying, but then at weekend I always have fun and I almost always party with my friends.

PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLERS

I watch a lot of movies in my free time because I love them and they relax me so much. I love watching them in english because it's easier to identify to the characters because you hear their true voices.
My favourite tipe of movies are the psychological thrillers, because stories are often very interesting and you are all the movie thinking about what will happen and the ending of those movies usually suprises you.


One of my favourite psychological thriller is Panic Room, a movie released in 2001 that stars Jodie Foster and Kristen Stewart. I've watched it so many times and I continue being so hipnotized by the movie everytime I watch it.

The film is directed by David Fincher who has also directed a lot of thrillers that I also love, like Zodiac in 2007 or more recentrly Gone Girl this year, wich has been a success.
