Well finally they are making a movie out of one of my favorite books.
Totally awesome book and author. "Neither Wolf Nor Dog" by Kent Nerburn, who has written other great works.

This is the temporary trailer.

It's still in the production stages and they need help.

I predict that MacDonalds shares will go up on this news.
The BuilderBurger will save them.

Meanwhile I was searching for that great scene in Broadcast News where Holly Hunter was doing a 30 second meditation on her terrace before shooting off to work.
And couldn't find it.
And thought 'I bet Paula would be able to find it in 30 seconds flat, with her knowledge of nifty tricks'.

I just got it. Having just read about that new cell tower thingy on ForbiddenKnowledgeTV.

He is not installing a light bulb, he is installing a weapon of mass destruction, and in plain sight.
Why else would they have a drone be filming it?

I think you are getting warmer in your search for the end of the world, Calz.

Drats, no magic today for the Holly Hunter meditation clip. Here’s a free movie link, and one other when you create a free account.

Note, I no longer use free movie sites. I’m concerned with viruses and cookies that’ll slow down the computer. One other suggestion is it’s available to rent or purchase @ iTunes and Amazon.

A bit late on the So White. Busy days. I read Jada's last tweets. They exuded a certain fatigue, as did the video appeal.

It's courageous of her to bring it up. Not being the first one of course. And even Spike Lee has been talking about this issue for longer (as well as several black stand-up comedians). If he can't get an Oscar for something, then at least he should receive some recognition for his efforts in raising social awareness.

I was re-reading an interview by Kauffmann, who was held hostage with Seurat in the 80s in Lebanon. He survived and when he came back he noticed how ironic it was that after those three years of hostageship, so much had changed and yet everything was still the same.

Notice how people smile and feel happy replaying Martin Luther King's 'I have a dream'.

On my list, probably a bit predictable (filtered on skin colour just for the relevance of this post): Morgan Freeman. I think he should just get another oscar and another one, and a couple more...but that's just my opinion. Jamie Foxx, Denzel Washington, women less prominent, or me no longer being an avid movie watcher, that's possible too. Whoopi Goldberg, the facial expressivity; no words, but so much language.

About creativity, and I wouldn't mention Wesley Snipes, because it's just not my type of movie, had it not been he pleasantly suprised me (suddenly) appearing as a poetry narrator on the soundtrack of Il Postino. And I wonder how Freeman would've sounded reading Neruda's poems.

Coming back to Spike Lee, he was lauded as a great inspiration by our local directors Adil El Arbi en Bilall Fallah who recently produced 'Black', a movie about criminal gangs in Brussels, with a love story that faces the challenge of racism: black girl, Moroccan boy, with neither of their clans accepting the other skin color. It delivered them a Discovery Award in Toronto.

And the reason I'm making the link is perhaps similar to why El Arbi & Fallah made the link. The problems that the African-American community faces sound a lot like the problems local minorities (including African, including Turks, Arabs, Asians, bref: the coloured) experience in Europe.

And with Jada's courage I say: it's very bad journalism to sweep it all under the carpet as 'radicalisation' and 'terror', safely tucked away from curious eyes that may wonder: is there more to this story?

But




Closing on a beautiful note, the poem as narrated by Snipes and written by Neruda:



Leaning into the afternoons

Leaning into the afternoons I cast my sad nets
towards your oceanic eyes.

There in the highest blaze my solitude lengthens and flames,
its arms turning like a drowning man's.

I send out red signals across your absent eyes
that smell like the sea or the beach by a lighthouse.

You keep only darkness, my distant female,
from your regard sometimes the coast of dread emerges.

Leaning into the afternoons I fling my sad nets
to that sea that is thrashed by your oceanic eyes.

The birds of night peck at the first stars
that flash like my soul when I love you.

The night gallops on its shadowy mare
shedding blue tassels over the land.

(Pablo Neruda)

Hmmm ... well ... I'll take that in stride ulli.

Never have ... nor never will be searching for the end of the world.


I look around and project ... what I see makes me search for those with a more positive outlook and solutions.


Close as I can come to see where you suggest that is from a song (which I love) that I once long ago posted here.


Song from Tool (and won't repeat in respect for Nora's K) had lyrics such as:

TOOL
Aenima Lyrics

Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see Armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will.
I sure could use a vacation from this

Bull**** three ring circus sideshow of
Freaks

Spiritual shortcoming on my behalf no doubt ...


To be clear I love humanity and our planet.


To be polite ... I won't offer (here n now) how I feel about those that seem to feel they are justified in controlling both (regardless of which dimension they reside or whether or not they have been here longer and tweaked humanity into this current version).

Thank you Calz,

Appreciate your thoughtfulness and sensitivity of K.

I preview every post and draw her attention to the ones that are funny, educational, nature/nurture oriented, classical, ambient or chant music videos and that don't have any adult content -specifically. My computer is off unless I'm with her.

The posts she likes I read over and over again and the videos she likes, we watch and listen to them over and over again. LOL. Play it again auntie.....

Love

Nora

Been up since 5:30 am.
Two helpers arrived at 6:00 sharp and for five hours we made cement stepping stones.
Day started out freezing...(11' C for us is freezing), and to begin its I had to work with jacket and scarf, like the people up north.
Then three hours later tropical heat returned, with full sunshine, and I ended up burning the back of my neck.
We pressed tree leaves into the wet cement to decorate the stones.
Very pleased with my team of workers.

Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find
