Is Time Invisible? ~
A
friend said during a conversation that time is invisible. It's true I
thought at first, then I began to think that maybe not exactly so. In an
abstract way, time is seen reflected, for instance, on the wrinkle on
people's faces when it didn't seem all that long ago they weren't there
on these same people you haven't seen for a while. On babies you
remember who are now no longer but young adults; the images of people
you loved who are not anywhere any more, taken by time; the yellow
& dry leaves on the ground when just weeks ago they were green and
up the trees ...
The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly ~
Clint
Eastwood's fighting spirit is firmly maintained despite at the age of
82, filing a law suit against the commercial use of his name and his
film product without his consent by the company Evofurniture in their
web site. One of the accused presentation says: 'When you are invited
to someone's house, you see the good, the bad and the ugly'
Is that phrase patented? Or is he practising the theme of his other film being unforgiving?
Senior Pilot ~
An
8o year old lady, with no experience at all piloting a plane, a light
aircraft, manage to land it safely, after her husband the pilot died
suddenly during the flight. It must be true and just as well that when
faced a situation of life or death, people could turn unusually brave
and uncharacteristically courageous. It's nature's way of self
protection.
The Price Of A Pee ~
Newly
installed in the Plaza Gaudi of Barcelona is the brand new urinal of
futuristic design, replacing the old one with 135 years history! The
price for a pee is € 0,50 cents.
Festival Of Short Films Mecal 2012 Barcelona
300
films are being shown started Thursday and closing on the coming
Sunday. An awful lot of films in less than 4 days, near a hundred a day!
I love short films but, even if I could find the time, I don't think
it's physically possible for me, or anyone, to manage that!
