#300 ~ don't know whether to laugh or to cry. Brilliant, in any case.

This is not a short online video, but a full-length movie. It's absolutely wonderful. Director: Pablo Berger Actors: Maribel Verdú, Emilio Gavira, Daniel Giménez Cacho Genres: Drama, Fantasy Country: Spain, Belgium, France Release Year: 2012 Duration: 104 min Synopsis: A band of bullfighting dwarfs save the life of a young woman with amnesia. They end up taking her under their wing when they find out that she has seemingly natural skills as a bullfighter, upon which they can capitalize not only for their act but for her own personal gain. As she does not know her name or background, the dwarfs coin her Blancanieves, after the famed fairy tale. What they are all unaware of is that she is really Carmen, the daughter of the once great matador, Antonio Villalta. Note that this is a (sort of) silent movie & begins in complete silence. zputlocker.com/watch/bxq615GJ-blancanieves.html <-- use a pop-up blocker with this site. This one has captions in various languages 1movies.to/movie/blancanieves/8264-watch-online-free.html <-- excellent resolution, but no captions. The Spanish is very simple, in any event.

This is an amazing Ist descent of a steep couloir at Jackson Hole - on mountain bikes! Another video following this one on YouTube details how they did it and how they filmed it. Including some pretty good wrecks.

I've never watched The Bachelor. It only lasted two or three years in France anyway -- long ago. But if things happened like on The Bachelor Vietnam, I think I would be hooked.

If you ever wondered how to tie your chitambala, this is just the video for you.
In Zambia it is normal for most women to wear a 'chitenge'. This the the wrap, like a sarong, I've mentioned before. Even when a woman will wear jeans or trousers or something else, they will invariably carry a chitenge with them 'just in case'. I'm told that if a woman is carrying a handbag, or other small bag, there has to be five essential things in there. Always, without fail will be a chitenge. The other four things vary from person to person, but five essentials is normal. If you've only got four, then apparently you must have forgotten something. If you've got six, then your life is too complicated. Most working women tend to try and own between twenty and fifty chitenges.
To come back to the point though, chitambalas are headscarves. In a lot of southern Africa the term is dhuku, tuku, doek, kitambala and kilemba. More local to Zambia is chitambala. On the market they will cost about $2. Day to day they tend not to be worn so often but are a must for weddings and funerals or when doing dirty manual work. For years the scarf has been held as a symbol of colonial times, of enslavement and an indicator of low social standing. Times are changing though as memories fade and being used to dress up posh or as a fashion accessory is now the norm. The video shows a number of styles of how to wrap them around your head. There are more and some off the cuff ways when you've only got one hand free for example.
I've had a couple of local women look at this video and they tell me that all bar one style is used for what they call "fashion" and say it with a little snort of derision. But they agree with what I had noticed, the style starting at 3:18 is a normal day to day way to tie and wear it.

Every year the French academy of cinema makes a short film presenting all of the possible nominees for the awards for "best newcomer." The actual nominees won't be announced for another week or two, but this short waiting period gives them a chance to dream. As for the film, it gets weirder and weirder every year.

Is the little film made by an outré yet not terrifically talented member of the Christmas window-dressing brigade?

Well, director Yann Gonzalez's last movie was a murder intrigue in the gay porn industry of the 1980's. I thought it was pretty awful, but it got amazingly good reviews (One sometimes wonders if the majority of film critics worked in the gay porn industry back then, too.). It starred Vanessa Paradis, mother of Lily-Rose Depp, who is one of the newcomer prospects this year. The film industry has always been a bit incestuous.

I recognized the voice of Nicolas Maury from Dix pour cent. (Which I loved, thank you kerouac.) I had wondered if his Dix pour cent voice was put on, but apparently not.

Australia is a country which generally has a very healthy attitude, as evidenced here. But what is really amazing about this video is that it appears to have been posted by the maniacs behind the raving of the person shown. I guess they are proud of his persistence.

Here is perhaps one of the most disgusting videos in the history of the world. Apparently this has been going on for years (almost a century!), but certain cattle people have been installing portholes into the sides of cows so that they can stick their hands in to examine the digestive processes.

This is really spreading across social media in the UK and having watched it I can quite understand why.
reminded me of the time my Dad told me and my sis we were getting a colour TV - we were so excited. He did not lie ...it was red, what a disappointment.
