Hasta ahora sabemos que: - No se eliminará el Mepco. - Subirá la bencina $370 pesos. - Se congelará el precio de la parafina a niveles de febrero. - Se congelan las alzas del pasaje hasta diciembre del transporte en micros en todo Chile. - Se subsidiará a taxis y colectivos para que no suban precios. - Mineras y aerolineas pagarán impuestos Todo esto mientras dure la guerra en medio oriente y gracias a que el gobierno anterior NO DEJÓ PLATA.

OK here's the review. Vampyros Lesbos (1970) If you’re a eurocult fan you’ve seen Jess Franco’s Vampyros Lesbos. And given that it was one of the first Jess Franco movies to be available on DVD way back early in the DVD era, and one of the first European erotic horror movies available on DVD at that time. There’s a good chance that this movie was your first exposure to Franco’s cinematic world. It was my first Franco movie and my first European erotic horror movie. So it’s easy to take it for granted. But watching it now for the first time in many years I’m struck by just how startling it must have been at the time. That opening sequence! This is not how you begin a vampire movie. First off we know that we are not in central Europe or England in the 19th century. We are in Turkey. And the setting is contemporary. The avant-garde music is not what you expect in a vampire movie. The erotic elements are also there front and centre right from the start. We get frontal nudity 60 seconds into the movie. And then we find we are watching a night-club act. Of course there’s an erotic night-club act in most of Franco’s movies but in 1970 it wasn’t standard practice in horror movies. And we are in seriously arty territory. This was the most arty period in Franco’s career. Necronomicon - Geträumte Sünden (AKA Succubus, 1968) is full-blown surrealism with wild narrative experiments. This was a movie that numbered Fritz Lang among its admirers. Paroxismus (AKA Venus in Furs, 1969) is equally avant-garde. At this time Franco had reasonably serious art-house credentials. It’s so long since I last saw this movie that I had forgotten that unlike most lesbian vampire movies this is not an adaptation of Sheridan le Fanu’s Carmilla. It’s an adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. And while there are some changes it is very recognisably and very consciously an adaptation of Dracula, at least to begin with. Linda Westinghouse (Ewa Strömberg) works in a lawyer’s office. She is sent on a journey to the remote home of a Hungarian countess, Countess Nadine Carody (Soledad Miranda), who needs some legal document attended to. The Countess is a vampire. In fact the legal documents relate to an estate left to her by Count Dracula. So Linda at this stage is clearly a stand-in for Jonathan Harker. The Countess begins her seduction of Linda, at which point Linda obviously becomes a stand-in for Lucy Westenra (or Mina Harker). Linda ends up in the care of Dr Seward (Dennis Price) who is clearly a combination of Dr Seward and Van Helsing. Dr Seward his under his care a mad girl named Agra (Heidrun Kussin) who is obsessed with the Countess Carody. Agra is obviously the Renfield character. At this time period European directors like Harry Kümel (in Daughters of Darkness), José Larraz (in Vampyres) and Jean Rollin (in movies like The Nude vampire and Shiver of the Vampire) were radically reinventing the vampire movie. Franco appears to be doing that as well but he isn’t really. He is drastically streamlining the vampire myth, jettisoning the non-essential elements of vampire, but he isn’t going to throw the baby out with the bathwater. The Countess Carody does not sleep in a coffin, she lives in a modernist beach house rather than a castle, she has no feelings one way or the other about garlic and she adores sunbathing. But all the essential elements are there. She is an immortal creature who feeds on human blood. She has hypnotic powers. She is quite unequivocally a vampire. So we have major elements of Stoker’s novel established and then Franco starts playing around with them. This is a movie of stylistic excess and as with Succubus the more we see the more we feel that maybe we’re moving in a dreamscape. And we get more touches of surrealism. We know we’re dealing with dreams part of the time. That’s made explicit. But where do the dreams end and where does reality start? And Franco included cool cabaret scenes not just because they were cool. They emphasise that we’re watching a performance. We’re watching the Countess playing a vampire on stage. Soledad Miranda is mesmerising. She dominates the movie from start to finish. There are no shadows, no night scenes. Everything is bathed in glorious sunshine. That’s ow Nadine likes it. A girl has to work on her tan, even if she is a vampire. Franco is going out of his way to avoid gothic horror clichés. But it doesn’t feel gimmicky. Soledad Miranda actually has the ability to convince us that she really is a sun-worshipping vampire. This movie is also a great example of Franco’s genius for finding strange but perfect locations. Vampyros Lesbos is one of the most important movies in Franco’s filmography. This is Franco at his best. Very highly recommended. The Severin Blu-Ray offers the German cut, Franco’s preferred cut. The Spanish cut was apparently quite different. The most important extra is a perceptive video essay by Stephen Thrower.

It is with deep sadness that I share the heartbreaking news that Valerie has passed away. She faced Parkinson’s disease with incredible courage and compassion, never once complaining. She lived life to the fullest and what a magnificent life it was. gofund.me/68a845e42

@FoxNews Chappell literally said it wasn't even her personal security & she didn't ask for any confrontation. But sure, let's cancel her career over a hotel guard overstepping. Meanwhile the mayor's out here banning artists from his city like it's personal beef. Overreaction much?

GOOD LUCK, BABE! Pop star Chappell Roan is facing online fallout after a young fan was allegedly scolded by a security guard for walking past the musician's table at a hotel breakfast and smiling at her. The young fan's stepfather, Brazilian soccer star Jorginho Frello, said the child was "extremely shaken and cried a lot." In response, Rio De Janeiro Mayor Eduardo Cavaliere said the musician "will never perform" in his city as long as he's in charge. Roan addressed her followers over the backlash on Sunday, apologizing to the young fan and claiming she never asked the security guard to confront the child.

With his subtly surreal and very stylish 1970 masterpiece of erotic horror VAMPYROS LESBOS Jess Franco eliminated a century's worth of accumulated vampire lore and gothic trappings and stripped the vampire movie down to the basics. My review: princeplanetmovies.blogspot.com/2026/03/vampyr…

Sam Kieth’s cover to DARKER IMAGE #1! Darker Image #1 was designed to showcase the debut of 3 new characters in 3 separate stories by Jim Lee, myself and Sam Kieth. It was your first introduction to Deathblow, Bloodwulf and The Maxx. Jim and I were excited to share the stage with Sam as we were tremendous fans of all the he had done at Marvel & DC. Sam was game to join our little showcase and he provided such a stunning cover that neither Jim or I figured we needed to offer variants of our own. This was Sam’s official debut with Image. Jim and I would almost always have covers for #1 issues that we participated in but once I saw Sam’s and Jim saw it, we figured that we didn’t need to contribute. This was more than enough. Darker Image #1 debuted in Jan. 1993 a whopping 1 million copies. With one single cover by Sam. It’s a great book and the fun we each had jumps out from every story. Proud to have shared this experience. Why no Darker Image #2 you ask? Because audience reaction to each character was so positive that each received his own series as a result. Fun, fun memories. Rest In Peace, Sam Kieth!
