Debra Hill (November 10, 1950 – March 7, 2005) was an American film producer and screenwriter, best known for producing various works of John Carpenter.
She also co-wrote four of his movies: Halloween, The Fog, Escape from New York and Escape from L.A. They also wrote and produced Halloween II together, which Carpenter didn't direct.
Hill was born in Haddonfield, New Jersey and grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She entered the movie business in 1975 and was unhappy with the level of condescension she experienced because of her gender. She started as a production assistant on adventure documentaries, and progressed through jobs as a script supervisor, assistant director and second unit director. Hill first worked with John Carpenter in 1975, as the script supervisor and assistant editor of Assault on Precinct 13. This led not only to further professional collaborations between Hill and Carpenter, but also marked the beginning of their personal relationship.
In 1978, she and director Carpenter co-wrote the horror movie Halloween. Following its success, Hill and Carpenter worked together on Halloween II (1981) and Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) Their other credits together include: The Fog (1980), Escape from New York (1981) and its sequel, Escape from L.A. (1996). In 1986, Hill formed an independent production company with her friend Lynda Obst. Together, they produced Adventures in Babysitting, Heartbreak Hotel, and The Fisher King. In 1988, she entered a contract with Walt Disney Pictures under which she produced Gross Anatomy, short films for the Walt Disney theme park, and an NBC special for Disneyland's 35th anniversary. She also produced The Dead Zone (1983), Head Office (1985), and Clue (1985).
David Paul Cronenberg, CC OOnt FRSC (born March 15, 1943) is a Canadian filmmaker, screenwriter, actor and author.
Cronenberg is one of the principal originators of what is commonly known as the body horror or venereal horror genre. This style of filmmaking explores people's fears of bodily transformation and infection. In his films, the psychological is typically intertwined with the physical. In the first half of his career, he explored these themes mostly through horror and science fiction, although his work has since expanded beyond these genres. His films have won numerous awards, including the Jury Prize at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival for his film Crash (1996).
The Village Voice called him "the most audacious and challenging narrative director in the English-speaking world."
Born in Toronto, Canada, Cronenberg is the son of Esther (née Sumberg), a musician, and Milton Cronenberg, a writer and editor. He was raised in a "middle-class progressive Jewish family". His father was born in Baltimore, Maryland, and his mother was born in Toronto; all of his grandparents were from Lithuania.
Sigo besando la espalda que me dio el estado.
Otro día más para ir a ningún lado.
Muchos de los que me amaron me dejaron a un costado
el resentimiento me enfermó y ya no pude salir.
Estoy en guerra desde que acabó la guerra
vendiendo recuerdos que nadie quiere recordar.
Yo no quiero mendigar, yo me lo quiero ganar
todos pasan y me miran con lástima,
no me mires más, no me mires más...
Nada me dejo la patria, me fui quedando a un lado
estoy harto de vivir para sobrevivir.
Usted ahora me pregunta de que me estoy quejando
y yo que puedo decir, soy del 2 de abril, soy del 2 de abril.
A un loco de la guerra nadie le quiere dar trabajo
será que hay demasiados trabajando en el país
conduciendo patrulleros, pueblos, taxis, colectivos...
Todo el mundo tiene su factor de poder,
yo quiero también,
yo quiero también.
Nada me dejo la patria, me fui quedando a un lado
estoy harto de vivir para sobrevivir.
Usted ahora me pregunta de que me estoy quejando
y yo que puedo decir, soy del 2 de abril, soy del 2 de abril.
Ahora sé como es el juego, me entrenaron como a un perro.
Todo el mundo tiene su factor de poder,
yo quiero también,
yo quiero también.
Nada me dejo la patria, me fui quedando a un lado
estoy harto de vivir para sobrevivir.
Usted ahora me pregunta de que me estoy quejando
y yo que puedo decir, soy del 2 de abril, soy del 2 de abril.
