@auramar2209 Viva Marina! Buongiorno!

Feliz Día de Nuestra Señora de Fátima. Rezamos el rosario 📿 por la paz de Venezuela y el mundo, por la protección de todas las familias..

The Sicilians surprised me when I was looking after my dying father - at home as long as possible and then in hospice. When still at home the hospital would send one of their people once a day to check how we were doing. The sweetest and kindest were regularly the Sicilians. Then later at the hospice, where brother and I would go every day to visit our old man... once again, the kindest and most genuine were the Sicilians.

Cette vidéo est d’utilité publique Elle aide à sortir de l’imaginaire collectif réducteur selon lequel la Sicile ne serait que mafia, violence & côté sombre La Sicile, c’est aussi sa culture, les traditions, la joie de vivre, sa beauté légendaire et une chaleur humaine.

@SnoozerIIVMMXIV Mio nonno, dal paradiso, dove ogni giorno servono la sua amata polenta, sarà ben felice

Quando l’Italia si sveglierà, mi candiderò anche se ho ormai superato l’età prevista. E se mi daranno la possibilità di entrare negli Alpini, non ci penserò un secondo.

@klara_sjo Didn't they go on to help launch the pop (and very un-punk) Fratelli Righeira?

In 1979, the Italian punk band Skiantos appeared at the Bologna Rock festival, brought a full kitchen setup onto the stage, cooked spaghetti, sat down to eat it in front of the audience, and then left without performing any music.

I worked with Alessandra years and years ago on the set of Investigatori D'Italia. She was sweet, almost demure... still far from the "strident" politician. Very smart and sensitive. Absolutely pleasant / delightful (regardless of her last name) Here she is with my bro. and Montagnani- Della serie "Oh the days that are no more!"

🚨 Inside the Italian Big Brother VIP house Alessandra Mussolini, niece of Sophia Loren and granddaughter of Benito Mussolini In all her immense, quintessential and unmatched Italianness! 🇮🇹🤣

@TheDailyDraught Back in the day when I practically lived there I liked Krušovice pivo

Which Czech beer are you choosing?

My father (with me his apprentice) subtitled a bunch of them. I particularly remember "C'eravamo tanto amati"... Back then subtitling wasn't super-easy and "electronic" as it is today. My father had to take the film cans (le "pizze") to a lab - oftentimes in Switzerland - where they would actually "print" the titles onto the physical film.

A lo largo de cinco décadas, Scola utilizó el humor, la sátira y un profundo humanismo para retratar las contradicciones de la sociedad italiana de posguerra, desde la clase obrera hasta la burguesía. ¿Película favorita?

@auramar2209 In Italia è Venezuela oggi... ma per la Spagna una settimana fa! ((It's always Mother's Day)))

Felicidades a las madres en su Día. Que hoy abunden los abrazos de los hijos, nuestros tesoros más preciados.🫠 🫠

@josephus77 @DannyDrinksWine Yes... He was a notorious perfectionist, often demanding dozens (and occasionally hundreds) of retakes for a single shot.

@Connective_Edit @DannyDrinksWine 100 times?

John Cassavetes on why he is against movies like Stanley Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange" (1971): "There’s a difference between being violent and having violent emotions. There’s a difference between anger and the act of shooting somebody in the face. I’ve never known anyone in my life that ever shot anyone in the face. And I’ve seen it on the screen too many times. There’s no morality there, no feeling of anything for anyone. It’s a lie to say that people are violent. There are more good people than there are bad people. To see constant terror builds a nation, builds moviegoers that can only love constant terror. We become used to it, inured to it like doctors knowing they have to be tough. They can’t think of that person with tenderness, but must be dispassionate. There’s a lot of violence in 'Minnie and Moskowitz' (1971) but violence that I can understand. Violent feelings, but nobody ki!!s anybody or shoots anyone or knifes anybody. Without having seen 'A Clockwork Orange' (1971), I know, because I know the story. I really couldn’t go to see it, because I don’t want to see people ki!! each other. I don’t want to see any more hostility toward one another. I just don’t want to see that reflected any more. I’m tired of violence and dehumanization. I think the artist has a tremendous obligation to bring trust to people. Because the only thing we don’t have time for is ourselves. We can’t live with ourselves if we have no respect for our life and the human condition and the foibles that exist in all of us – then we have no tolerance, we’re all Nazis. We can’t survive with people being that inhuman. It’s impossible. I look at 'A Clockwork Orange' and ask, why did Stanley make it? Did he make it for anyone in particular? Why did he choose a story like that, in this day and age? For what: to incite a revolution, to stop everything? Maybe that would be OK, if he really believed that, but I don’t believe it. I don’t know why he made it. The more films are made about insanity, the more fashionable it will become. And, eventually, as we become more and more dehumanized, there will be no answers for anyone. You can’t get any pleasure out of being an animal. There should be a Kubrick who can make that film and show that life can be violent and harsh. But, on the other hand, where are the equalizing forces of happiness? Art films, in stressing the weakness of society, have lost their balance. The majority of people would rather be filled with illusion than disillusion. And we just have to find some way to reflect that. Not just to constantly say, ‘Oh, God, things are wrong and all, and I don’t know what to do about it.’" ('Cassavetes on Cassavetes', edited by Ray Carney, 2001)

@Theyetty12 @JamesMelville No, the film was called Chiara e Francesco... Here is Francesco (St. Francis) with the "terrifying" wolf...

@Connective_Edit @JamesMelville You're making it up as you go along!

A classic from a bygone tech era.

@TheDailyDraught Franconia (che malgrado i franconi fa parte della Baviera) e la Boemia sono quasi sorelle... e allora fa bene la birra ceca a litigare... ma vince la Bayerisches Bier

@Connective_Edit Czech beer would say otherwise

Is Paulaner a good German beer?

@EnzoGiannico @pbecchi They "transcended" the problem... suddenly differences, difficult histories, etc. become opportunities.

@pbecchi Anche in sud Tirolo si sentono Austroungarici, come cazzo abbiamo fatto a non pensarci tutti questi anni e non subire una invasione austriaca

qui a Sassuolo parecchia gente conosce bene il Donbass perchè le ceramiche si riforniscono di argilla in Ukraina nel Donbass. Sono almeno 10 anni che sento dalla gente che ci lavora delle uccisioni di russi, da parte delle milizie ukraine e del fatto che tutti sono russi in Donbass e vogliono la Russia. E' come dire che l'Irlanda è inglese o la Slovacchia è "Cecoslovacchia" o il Kosovo è Serbia o la Vallonia è Fiandre in Belgio o il Kurdistan è Iraq ecc.. SONO RUSSI. NON SONO UKRAINI. I CONFINI SONO SBAGLIATI. Basta parlare con chi va in Donbass da 20 anni e qui nelle ceramiche di Modena c'è un sacco di gente che te lo dice. Se passi per Sassuolo, chiedi in giro. E smetti di leggere i giornali che poi non capisci un cazzo GiovanniZibordi

Highlighting to delete is idiotic and this invention is lipstick on "primitivism" Back in the day, Apple (Jobs) did not care about writing, so they went and took on the Microsoft method. That's what humanity was toilet trained on... SELECTION FOR EVERYTHING Except it had been designed for sit-on-your-but computers equipped with foot and a half long keyboards replete with mice, trackpads, nibs, function keys, shift-arrow keys, etc. Selection in computers? Real easy! Selection on handheld glass slabs? Fiddly and temperamental mini-handles. Wrong wrong wrong! A cutesie-pootsie backspace doesn't solve the main underlying issue

I had the pleasure of working with Rutger in Malta, on a flic called "Voyage" (1993). He was a real cool dude. Refusing his "mandatory" chauffeur, he would arrive on set riding his full-optional Honda Goldwing, blaring either heavy rock or opera. His arrival was always an "event" for the crew. The poor guy was always working so much that he'd alway use his own private and well-stocked caravan instead of the production accomodation. Real easy to work with: give him a position and he wouldn't budge. Someone called him a "pat of butter" (meaning he'd just stay put).

The “Tears in Rain” scene in Blade Runner (1982) was not fully scripted. Rutger Hauer felt the original speech was too long and “opera-like,” so he rewrote it before filming and added the immortal line: “like tears in rain.” It is remembered as one of cinema’s most moving farewells to death, where a replicant reveals profound humanity. Thanks to Hauer’s improvisation, the moment became a defining symbol of Blade Runner and the cyberpunk genre, standing today as an immortal piece of film history.

@mamboitaliano__ Today my brother, in a studio of a Catholic channel made the pope an apple pie!

If you ever come across this sign, try the pizza 🍕 “Gino Sorbillo” One of the best pizzas in Italy 🇮🇹 and in the world Today, during the visit to Naples, they even honored the Pontiff with a special “Pizza Papa Leone” Looks delicious

@Shpigford May I ask two dumb questions regarding your Clearly.md vis-a-vis iOS handhelds (iPhone / iPad mini)? 1. Where can I download, to check it out? 2. How does it handle deletion? Selection by moving mini-handles? Thanks

i swear this is gonna make me turn clearly.md into an actual evernote alternative. and yes i'm aware i just deleted basically every clearly feature in the name of simplicity. 😭
