The following quotes are from Times. On my news stream the first impression came from Indian Daily News or something, due to Vidya Balan's presence in the jury. Spielberg made just that point at a press conference after the ceremony. He called Adèle ”a great love story that made all of us feel privileged to be a fly on the wall, to see this story of deep love and deep heartbreak evolve from the beginning.” The director didn’t put any constraints on the narrative. He let the scenes play in … [Read more...]

Eurovision, a Neglected Event
Why is Eurovision neglected by the spectators everywhere? It's still a mystery. Why Englishmen don't support anymore as much as they should to, their National Football Team? It's the same thing with Eurovision. Nobody cares. And songs like the whispered scream from Azerbaijan came second. Why?

They pay fortunes to Mobile … [Read more...]

The improved design of the hottest "new" Social Media appendix at the moment, Google Plus, took me by a pleasant surprise.

Pineapple Express
In 2008 I was in some place where I used to be so busy every day, that I couldn't watch too many movies at once. This one, Pineapple Express slipped from the bundle, mostly that I was a fan of nobody from the movie at the time, and thinking that this is the team who brought Superbad to be a "hit" (great words, too great) was not an advantage at all. So, I considered Superbad a bad joke. I like comedies, I always liked them. Anyway, I wasn't a fan of Seth Rogen either, and I profoundly disliked … [Read more...]
