Y se cumplen 60 años del estreno español de la brillante y muy influyente coproducción italo-española, dirigida por Mario Bava, “Terror en el espacio”. Reabrió el Cine Rex de la Gran Vía madrileña tras una reforma. “Gritos de terror a millones de kilómetros de la tierra!”
Este artículo de Nacho me recuerda que no había dicho nada aqui de esta salvajada absolutamente terrorífica por la que en un tipo le una multa descomunal por divulgar cultura y conocimiento.
En 2015, El Mundo publicó esta entrevista elogiando la figura de un "empresario ejemplar" que «se adueñó de los derechos de productores en apuros». Que se aprovechó de enfermedades y bancarrotas ajenas, como un fondo buitre, para hacerse con un catálogo que debería ser patrimonio cultural nacional 👇
Feliz viernes 🍷
Recuerdo cuando mi profesor, Santos Zunzunegui, decía que las películas de James Benning eran colirio para los ojos.
Ya disponible la conferencia: "¿Es posible hoy lo trágico en el cine?", en la que tomo como partida "La furia" de Gemma Blasco y "Los domingos" de Alauda Ruiz para pensar sobre el legado de los trágicos griegos en el cine contemporáneo.

If you'd like a taster of the book, here's my original Film International article that led to it:
Qué buen texto, Javier 💕
¿Fueron los memes el nuevo dadaísmo? Toca hacer remix de surrealismo, vaporwave y cibercultura para ver si existe una sintaxis del absurdo digital o si todo meme fue pura risa nerviosa.
Nueva carta, ¡gracias! 💌

La hiperconexión obliga a escribir sin parar: correos, mensajes, respuestas. ¿Qué queda de la escritura lenta y literaria? Entre la disponibilidad constante y el ruido digital, surge la duda: ¿seguiremos leyendo libros o solo mensajes?

con todas esas grabaciones para nuestro disfrute. Hay conciertos de Nirvana cuando todavía no había sacado el Nevermind, de R.E.M., The Cure, The Pixies, The Replacements, Depeche Mode, Stereolab, Sonic Youth o Björk. Increíble.
Os dejo el link. De nada.

Os traigo, por si no lo conocéis, lo mejor que le ha pasado a internet en mucho tiempo.
Resulta que un tipo de Chicago, Aadam Jacobs, empezó a llevarse una grabadora a conciertos allá por 1989. Tras cuatro décadas y 10.000 conciertos después ha limpiado esas cintas y ha colgado un archivo
Eliot no suele tener un recibimiento muy entusiasta por parte de mis alumnxs, en parte por culpa de su faceta de crítico, pero quién puede negar la belleza de un poema como La Tierra Baldía
Parpadeas y ya estás a mediados de Abril. Buen momento para recuperar a T.S. Eliot en The Waste Land

"Quiero que este país se convierta en un pozo de mierda. En una pesadilla."
El líder del partido ultraderechista Britain First, pillado. Ese es el plan de todas las extremas derechas. Hundir a su gente y tratar de sacar provecho con miedo y odio.
#OtD 11 Apr 1993 possibly the longest prison rebellion in US history took place in Lucasville, Ohio. Black & white prisoners, including those in the Aryan Brotherhood, fought together against mistreatment by prison authorities. This is a history: shop.workingclasshistory.com/products/luc...

Cada vez que se le presupone antiintelectualismo a la clase trabajadora me acuerdo de las casas currantes con Biblioteca Básica Salvat RTV, del Círculo de Lectores, Barco de Vapor y de que en este país las mujeres de barrio impulsaron los actuales clubes de lectura.

A collection of roughly drawn orange lines all converging at a central point like an asterisk of text that says 'Claude'
![Text from Kurt Vonnegut's 'Breakfast of Champions':
This book is my fiftieth-birthday present to myself. I feel as though I am crossing the spine of a roof-having ascended one slope.
I am programmed at fifty to perform childishly—to insult "The Star-Spangled Banner," to scrawl pictures of a Nazi flag and an asshole and a lot of other things with a felt-tipped pen. To give an idea of the maturity of my illustrations for this book, here is my picture of an asshole:

Horror franchises really used to say "OK now let's do a John Waters one."
The idea that all writers are using AI and just lying about it is not only NOT my experience with other writers, but I think that line of thinking is pure cope. We MUST be using it! I mean everyone THEY know is using it! How else do we get all this done???
Coffee. The answer is coffee & routine.
Alexandra is a wonderful person and a brilliant asset to the horror community and women artists of all kinds. If you can help out with even a little cash it would make a big difference when she needs the community behind her. Thanks.
El 15 de abril, miércoles que viene, estaremos en Valladolid dando guerra con "La Furia" y "Los domingos". ¡Qué pedazo de cartel!
