I wish this to be the name of this category, actually, but this is not quite the main interest of the blog, which started with movies, life and facts. My total awe for Twitter made me speak about Social Media matters. I can't compete with Mashable, or with "specialists". They made a lot of friends already, and it's hard to show when some of the so called "specialists" tell nonsense. But, from time to time, I feel the urge to say a word, be it good, or be it critical. I want to be positive, I … [Read more...]

Nominees and Winners
It was imperative to publish the Academy Awards Nominees, this being this blog's spirit, a blog started as an opinionated expression in contemporary culture, especially the cinema, the seventh art, probably the best form of expression our days. A lot of surprises, some notable absences, but the Academy rules, and it won't be the first time when this pages express a different view regarding the Oscars and the Golden Globes, only for the moment, there will be no views yet. This year's Globes were … [Read more...]
5 Reasons to Get Your Own Domain Name
Rarely I felt the urge to repeat myself so much, but this one is an important matter. I like this blog to offer unique views on ordinary things, but the logical views are common sense.

But it is impossible to be unique when you urge a serious blog writer to make this service to humanity from his or her's owned domain, and … [Read more...]
Edge of Darkness
Edge of Darkness is a movie with another actor I appreciate a lot. I like him as an actor and filmmaker, because he is a real artist, no matter his flaws in his private life. Are we appreciate less the inventor of the History of Religions as a science, who was somehow a nazi in his native country, his political obedience considered a "young age's flaw", or Celine, or Oscar Wilde, both pro Hitler in their times? I don't believe so. On the contrary, I think people or critics avoid to mention it. … [Read more...]
Places to Visit
If you want to be a tourist, you may be easily disoriented by the non-stop advertising. A tour can be planned only to suit your personality. It is more advantageous to plan a tour suited to your culture, your readings, your background. The approach may be different. I know people with money (of course, they are never enough), and with a tremendous will to travel. They "travel" just to spend, they barely have the power to please their spirit by the beauty of nature, of art, of history, and they … [Read more...]
There Is No Conspiracy!
Remember when I said that is interesting and fine to start with a quote, the quote which actually inspired me to write the post in the first place? I have done it, but I think it's not good for SEO or for the look of the blog, my theme, which has a home page very specifically designed, resumes the beginning, doesn't keep the difference between "quote" or "blockquote", pictures, links or bold characters :). So, better I start with my own opinion, and only after a certain number of words, with … [Read more...]
