7 Days (Of Torture) On The Cross

It sounds biblical. There’s something about numbers in religion and culture… 40 days and 40 nights, 40 thieves, 3 days in hell, 7 days to create the universe and all life in it… The vice president of Bolivia, who probably smoked too much stuff in his youth, comes up with all kinds of idiotic sayings, his most recent was that people must prepare themselves for the Aymara new year by abstaining from sex, meat and alcohol for 40 days. right, and he said that 20 days before the Aymara new year, a recent invention by some guys who also smoked too much stuff in their youth.

Well… we can have our crazy stuff too. So, Jac decided to prepare 7 Days On The Cross as the next release. There are some issues with the sound, but he’s working on it. The film is 1 hr 36 minutes long, it might come down a bit, like 10 minutes or so. Although he cannot change the original analog format the way he would like to, he can improve a bit and he can also enlarge the resolution. And that’s what he’s doing now.

The new film will have all the scenes from 7 Days on the Cross 1, 2, 3 and 4, just shorter. It will have a totally different soundtrack, more in tune to Roman times, the ratio will be wide screen, like all the new films, not a square like it is now, and of course a big part of it will be the horrifying end of the story, when after being nailed and strung up on the Cross, Varinia es finally impaled.

The impaling was going to be another episode of the series, but for reasons that now escape my memory, it never happened.

Because the new film will contain the entire story, we will be removing the episodic series from the store and we’ll be offering only the film. The complete title might be Seven Days (Of Torture) On The Cross (The Film)

It will take a week or two for Jac to complete the work on the new movie, so my bet is that it will be released after the Aymara New Year 5,530 celebrations. The year is another invention by the same people who smoked too much stuff in their youth, instead of 5,000 they could’ve made up something higher, like 10,000 or 100,000 or the age of the earth itself.

The Aymaras never kept count of the years because they did not have the concept of year, just of the seasons and in the middle of June, like around the 20th, they celebrated the winter solstice… and when the Spaniards took over the cultural celebrations it became San Juan, and because it happens to be the coldest day of the year, or so they say, people went crazy burning stuff in the streets, big bonfires, with fireworks and lots of drinking and partying, like vikings or Spanish pirates, … in the old days, that is, it’s not legal to burn stuff in the streets anymore but with those hooples in power, we never know. The celebrations now are mostly indoors, with lots of drinking, and partying and eating hot dogs, a German invention.

I’m digressing.

So, the good news is that the looooooooong awaited 5th part of Seven Days (Of Torture) On The Cross will finally be released! As a MOVIE! An almost TWO hour movie!
