CIENCIA FICCIÓN GUARRA 27: XTRO, problemas matrimoniales intergalácticos
La ciencia ficción guarra, aunque centrada en la función fisiológica de la cópula, no duda en tratar desde su particular óptica los temas relacionados indirectamente con el sexo. Es por eso que nos encontramos con películas del género que aportan interesantes puntos de vista sobre las relaciones personales y de pareja, ese molesto derivado de la sexualidad humana. Por mucho que lo neguemos, cosas como el matrimonio, la familia, los sentimientos de apego por el otro, son subproductos residuales del afán reproductivo que, en muchas ocasiones, le quitan relevancia al instinto reproductor. Estos inquietantes efectos secundarios del deseo de follar a toda costa son los protagonistas de XTRO (1983), película británica que podriamos definir, de forma simplista, como la versión hijoputa de ET.
Un honrado padre de familia es abducido por un ovni durante un fin de semana en el campo. La desconsolada esposa, que se queda a cargo de un hijo, ante la desaparición inexplicable de su marido, rehace su vida junto a un moderno, un fotógrafo de modas bastante capullo (aunque quizá esto no hace falta precisarlo, una cosa lleva implícita la otra). Como no podía ser de otro modo, el marido vuelve del espacio convertido en un bicho capaz de adoptar su antigua forma humana, pero que ya poco tiene de persona y sí mucho de alien cabrón capaz de poner patas arriba la tranquila rutina de su antigua familia. La cosa empieza fuerte, con el inmigrante retornado fecundando a una mujer que pasaba por allí y usándola para encarnarse en su antiguo cuerpo en una alucinada escena de embarazo exprés y un parto traumático en el que la pobre hembra da a luz a un señor adulto.

El marido se reencuentra con su antigua familia al estilo de "fui a por tabaco y no sé que me pasó", creando una caos de tensiones y sentimientos contradictorios en su mujer, su amante y su pequeño hijo. Pronto el asunto se vuelve siniestro cuando el cónyuge intergaláctico nos muestra que sus intenciones son las de cualquier buen padre que abandona el núcleo familiar: echar un último polvazo de despedida a la parienta y contaminar al hijo con sus genes aliens para llevárselo al espacio con él. Típicos problemas de custodia y luchas entre padres que se nos aparecen como algo común a todo el universo.
Por lo tanto, XTRO parece ser una radiografía descarnada y certera de la descomposición de la familia en el marco de un universo regido por las maravillas de la ciencia ficción guarra... o quizá simplemente es algo que nosotros percibimos y que para nada tiene que ver con el mensaje de la historia. El propio director de la película, Harry Bromley Davenport, en contestación a unas dudas de los fans en imdb.com, comenta así el tema: "I have no idea.We did this film 28 years ago and I just remember that we were trying to shock people. I don't think there's anything more to it than that. There are many faults and inconsistencies throughout the film, but we were young and stupid and making a movie." Que traducido sería algo así: "No tengo ni puta idea. Rodamos la peli hace 28 años y solo recuerdo que queriamos impresionar a la peña. Hay muchas chorradas y barbaridades a lo largo del asunto, pero es que éramos jóvenes y estúpidos haciendo una peli". No importa. XTRO, más allá de las intenciones de sus creadores, es un hito de la ciencia ficción guarra y merece ser recordado como tal.

CIENCIA FICCIÓN GUARRA 26: La paja infinita
En esta entrega nos vamos a apartar un poco de la temática habitual de robots y aliens jodedores. La ciencia ficción guarra, en su incontrolable exploración de los límites de la sexualidad humana, va mucho más allá de esas cuestiones. Y un ejemplo glorioso es la película Proyecto Brainstorm (1983). Famosa por ser la última película que rodó Natalie Wood antes de su muerte en extrañas circunstancias, es una notable historia de ciencia ficción que trata temas tan apasionantes como la realidad virtual, el futuro del cine 3D, los límites del cerebro humano y qué coño pasa cuando nos morimos. Unos científicos descubren una forma de grabar las emociones y sensaciones que experimenta el ser humano en una cinta para que después puedan ser proyectadas en la mente de otra persona. Pronto surgen posibilidades inquietantes y los militares no tardan en verlo como una forma para controlar a los individuos y crear supersoldados; lo típico de los militares, vamos.
Pero la parte que nos interesa es otra. La gran aportación de esta película a la ciencia ficción guarra es cuando uno de los científicos, un joven cachondo con una novia rubita, tiene la feliz idea de grabarse a sí mismo practicando el coito. Como es lógico decide compartir la experiencia con un colega cincuentón y le presta la cinta para que se dé un homenaje."Es mejor que la pornografía", le dice. Al principio el ciudadano se hace el remolón, pero acaba viendo la cinta y se le ocurre ir más allá. El pajillero geek siempre tiene que alcanzar nuevas cotas de guarrería, y no se le ocurre otra cosa que editar la cinta y copiar la parte del orgasmo en un bucle infinito que se enchufa directamente a las neuronas durante toda la noche. Cuando su mujer y sus colegas lo descubren a la mañana siguiente, el pobre hombre es una masa convulsa y sudorosa tirada en el sofá de su casa, aún enchufado a la corrida eterna que se proyecta en su mente. Cuando lo desenchufan a punto está de liarse a hostias y suplica que le devuelvan el aparato. Le hacen unas pruebas y, aunque físicamente está bien, de vez en cuando sigue experimentando orgasmos espontáneos en su mente. Pero no le importa. El cincuentón se siente rejuvenecido, un titán, y decide abandonar el trabajo e iniciar una nueva vida, suponemos que una vida loca y llena de sensaciones nuevas. "Soy más de lo que era", nos explica con una sonrisilla. Y es que la ciencia ficción guarra te puede alterar el cerebro por completo, convertirse en una paja infinita que eleve tu mente a cotas nunca vistas de pajerismo e iluminación vital tontuela. No lo olvidéis jamás.

Dio ha muerto
Estaba seguro de que iba a vencer al cancer, ni remotamente pense que verdaderamente pudiera morirse. no se que decir, estoy verdaderamente triste y desconcertado. los recuerdos me vienen de golpe y no quiero hacer literatura con ellos, solo expresar lo profundamente dolido que me siento.

VIVIENDAS PEGAMÍN XIII: El cajero autómatico
En estos tiempos de crisis, ya sea económica o nerviosa, no son los economistas, los gobiernos ni los ideólogos los que han descubierto la forma perfecta de combinar protesta y supervivencia. Los que han encontrado el modo ideal de juntar la justicia poética con las necesidades vitales más básicas son los vagabundos. Porque son ellos los que han hecho suyos los cajeros automáticos de los bancos, convertidos en sus refugios improvisados, llenándolos de cartones, andrajos y botellas de vino vacías. Voy caminando por la noche de regreso a casa después de la juerga, esa "larga marcha" que suele ser el colofón de los fines de semana del ciudadano joven medio, y veo las luces fantasmagóricas de los cajeros automáticos iluminando las aceras mojadas. Y allí, refugiado en esos oasis de luz, calor y prosperidad, está un ser humano tumbado, durmiendo plácidamente la borrachera, a veces incluso acompañado de un perro sarnoso hecho un ovillo a su lado. Al lado del anuncio del señor de corbata sonriente por su nueva hipoteca superplus, debajo del cartel de esa joven dinámica que nos enseña su tarjeta de crédito para gente joven y dinámica, está el despojo humano tirado en el suelo rodeado de los recibos del cajero.
Mientras nosotros pagamos comisiones, sufrimos los errores de los colosos de las finanzas, el vagabundo del cajero duerme tranquilo, seco y seguro, sin pagar un puto euro gracias a las infraestructuras de los bancos. Sin tener ni idea de simbolismos ni hostias, el señor indigente se pajea, bebe y se mea allí mismo, delante de la cámara de vigilancia, justo enfrente de por donde salen los billetes de cincuenta euracos que hace tiempo que no ha visto y quizá ni recuerde que existen. Todo muy metafórico. Tomo nota mentalmente de no ir a sacar dinero a ese cajero en particular y continúo el penoso regreso al hogar, aterido, muerto de sueño y con la visión borrosa.

Halford en The Advocate V (y último)
What do your working-class parents think about your publicly coming out?
When I answered yes to being gay on MTV, it filtered through to the U.K. My mom was like, "Well, we saw the MTV piece, and we're really happy for you." Then Dad and I talked about everything other than that, and as we were winding up our conversation, he said, "I just want to let you know that I'm very proud of you. I think it takes a lot of courage, and I just want you to know that." That was the very first time he and I made that connection verbally. It was over the phone. I would've liked it to have been face-to-face so we could've given each other a hug and probably shed a few tears.
Were you aware of any other gay members in your family?
No. There was no uncle. [Laughs] There was none of that. So it was a pretty lonely, isolated kind of feeling
Were you always thinking, I'm a little different, both in your sexual feelings and in the kind of music you liked?
Yes. My awareness of my sexuality preceded my love of music. I recall having real strong feelings around the age of 10, 11, 12. I had girlfriends. But there was never any sexual activity. I simply wasn't sexually stimulated by women. That's just the fact of being a gay man.
When did you get interested in rock music?
I loved all music. I'd been singing in the school choir, and I had a taste of what it was like to be onstage. So there was that kind of acceptance thing going on that may have had something to do with the fact that even though I might've thought being a gay man was wrong, I could be accepted because I had a voice. I could stand onstage, and people would clap. It had a balancing effect.
For your fear of being hated for being gay?
Exactly. So I left school at 16 and went straight to work for a large theater. I went from those high-school experiences in the straight world to the theater with gay men everywhere. I started to mix with my own kind, and I started to feel as though I wasn't the only one.
You mentioned being in a long-term relationship today that is no longer sexual. Do you want one that is sexual?
Sometimes I feel like Boy George: "I just want to have a cup o' tea." I tell you, I'm so over it. And maybe I'm getting close to middle age. We all know that part of our sexuality changes.
You sound bitter. I believe you can't be bitter without having once been a dreamer. Did you once believe you could have a long-term romantic, sexual relationship?
[Laughs] I tell everyone I'm not bitter, but I think maybe I am. Yes, part of me wants that, and part of me doesn't. A good portion of my relationships were with essentially straight men who suddenly went off and got married. They were just experimenting with me.
That's a drag.
Yes, I've been through all that crap, and it drives me crazy.
But you still want love?
Yes, that evil four-letter word, love. I think love is God's trick.
But maybe being completely out of the closet will change all this for you.
Yeah, I've been thinking it might come from that wonderful moment when you walk out of the closet. Now I've done that, and I've freed myself. Maybe that special moment is yet to happen, because I do believe that we are destined to find that one person. [Starts to cry] I admit it.
Well, you've gone through a lot to got here.
Yes, and it is a great feeling for me to finally let go and make this statement--and especially to The Advocate, because this magazine has brought me so much comfort over the years. Obviously this is just a wonderful day for me.

Halford en The Advocate IV
You created an aesthetic in rock that attracts straight men too.
I guess that's true, because I met this guy recently, and he said, "When I was 13, I used to watch MTV, and you would be walking around in your leather stuff, and I'd always get an erection." A lot of men who are into leather are also into metal. They mayn't know they're gay until they see something that makes them feel hot.
Let me ask you about the anger behind all the heavy-metal raging. What is it an outlet for? What was Rob so angry about?
I think I was angry at myself. I thought that I was sexually dysfunctional, that I didn't fit in because I was still the gay man in an exclusively straight rock world. And I wanted to fit in, but I didn't want to fit in. It was confusing, and it was frustrating. And so it was great for me to have an opportunity to vent that way. I really don't know what I'd have done if I wasn't able to do that.
Now that you're out, will you miss screaming your pain away?
It's a relevant question, because I really get a lot of pleasure out of rip-roaring and screaming my head off. I recommend it to anybody. If you can't put it in words, then just let it come out that way. That's what people do at rock shows. They go crazy, you know, with mosh pits and screaming and knocking each other about--not in a destructive, violent way but in a cathartic way.
But now that I'm out about my homosexuality, I'm gonna be shouting my mouth off about having the same rights and being treated the same way as every other person on this planet. All of us are human beings, and we should not be denied the same kinds of things that the greater portion of straight society receives. That's got to be the next step on this journey for me. I'll stand up for it and make my voice heard for equal rights.
Do you want the right to marry?
Of course. There should not be a rule that says I don't have this right. It's so wrapped up in religion.
How were you raised with religion?
It wasn't really an important part of my life. You receive religious instruction in the U.K. schools--that's part of the curriculum.
What sent you on your spiritual journey?
Going through my sobriety stage, because I'm a recovering alcoholic. I've been through 12 years now. I know what makes me tick, whereas before I was clueless.
What made you stop drinking?
It was a cataclysmic event. Most of the men I'm attracted to [even now] are straight men. The boy I was dating back then had a cocaine problem. We had one of those bombastic physical attractions, and there was a tremendous amount of violence. We used to beat the crap out of each other in the drunken and cocaine rages that we had. And one day we were fighting, and I left for my own safety and called a cab. As I was getting in the cab, he came up to me and said, "Look, I just want to let you know I love you very much." And when he turned away, I saw that he had a gun. Moments later he put the gun to his head and killed himself.
What's your biggest devil?
Jealousy. And yet I'm the classic dysfunctional jealous person because it's OK for me to mess around but don't you mess around.
