Personal life

Nájera was born on January 6, 1951 in Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico with his family relocating to Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua while he was still very young. At an early age his mother and aunts would bring Nájera along when they would watch lucha libre shows at the local Torero de Cuartro Caminos bullfighting area from the time he was nine years old. During his formative years Nájera cited both Black Shadow and Blue Demon as his idols, favoring the rudos (lucha libre term for those that portray the bad guys) of the era over tecnicos (the "good guys") such as El Santo.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (Japanese: ゼルダの伝説 風のタクト, Hepburn: Zeruda no Densetsu: Kaze no Takuto), is an action-adventure game and the tenth installment in The Legend of Zelda series. Developed by Nintendo Entertainment Analysis & Development and published by Nintendo, it was released for the GameCube video game console in Japan on December 13, 2002; in North America on March 24, 2003; in Europe on May 2, 2003; and in Australia on May 7, 2003.

The game is set on a group of islands in a vast sea—a first for the series. The player controls Link, the central protagonist of the Zelda series. He struggles against the evil king, Ganondorf, for control of a sacred relic known as the Triforce. Link spends a large portion of the game sailing, traveling between islands, and traversing dungeons and temples to gain the power necessary to defeat Ganondorf. He also spends time trying to find his younger sister, Aryll.

The Wind Waker follows in the footsteps of Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, retaining the basic gameplay and control system found in the two Nintendo 64 titles. A heavy emphasis is placed on controlling wind with a baton called the Wind Waker, which aids in sailing and floating in air. Though controversial during development for its cel-shaded art style and younger incarnation of Link, The Wind Waker was met with critical acclaim. A direct sequel, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, was released for the Nintendo DS starting in June 2007; a high-definition remake, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, was released for the Wii U in 2013.

Jack (1996 film)

Jack is a 1996 American comedy-drama film starring Robin Williams, Diane Lane, Jennifer Lopez, Fran Drescher, Bill Cosby, and Brian Kerwin. It was directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Williams plays the role of Jack Powell, a boy who ages four times faster than normal as a result of a disease, Werner syndrome, a form of progeria.

Plot

The movie begins with Karen Powell (Diane Lane) going into labor during a costume party and being rushed to the hospital by her husband Brian (Brian Kerwin) and their friends. Although the delivery is successful, the baby is premature, born after only ten weeks of pregnancy, and is diagnosed with an exaggerated form of Werner syndrome (an aging disease) as stated by Dr. Benfante (Allan Rich) and Dr. Lin (Keone Young). According to them, as this very rare autosomal recessive disorder progresses, Jack Powell will age at a rate four times as fast as normal children due to his internal clock that seems to be developing faster.

Ten years later, Jack (Robin Williams) is next seen as a 10-year-old boy in the body of a 40-year-old man, with a group of four boys telling possible stories of a "monstrosity" of a boy their age that cannot go to school. He scares them away by dipping a fake eye into slime and throwing it at them from his window. He is extremely childish as a consequence of his secluded life. He has only had contact with his parents and tutor, Lawrence Woodruff (Bill Cosby), who introduces the idea that he should go to public school. His parents initially balk at the idea of their son going there because he could be emotionally hurt.
