Caught While Flashing

CORTÁZAR: Loco a bit, nothing more ... SPIELBERG

Discuss Van Gogh is not just about the most influential painters in history, but a fascinating man who spoke with his work and with his own life with his words, his humanity conflicted so passionate, and so rarely saw an artist.

Maybe it's the same kind of soul that Beethoven was in his music or Kafka in his writings. Ardent souls who suffered and failed to find a just cause in the art for the benefit of all mankind.


"If not for your friendship, would commit suicide without pangs of conscience and although I am a coward, I would end up doing it."
Letters to Theo

painter, draftsman, writer, theologian, artist. His tragic fate begins to have the name inherited from his older brother died six months earlier. Children unhappy in his words, began as assistant to his art dealer brother Theo in an art gallery and then studying theology and being a frustrated pilgrimage like his rigid father.

Like everything, it did so visceral and fighting with the buyers for their pictorial and slept like the sick and the poor fasting together, becoming rejected by the church for its "exaggeration ".


became convinced of his gift of the artist in the Netherlands, portraying the farmers in their work with dark colors, then his paintings outdoors in Paris full of color and light in that dominated his favorite fetish yellow color, made him almost an impressionist, "almost" because their forms were unique.

Although no painter gave that importance to the color of the sun and its influence in a single wheat field. It was not original, its form changed as he watched the greats of his time: the landscape as the work of Monet , color according Delacroix, figures as the other great Dutch Rembrandt .

then began to fade the edges and give importance to the volume to the hub with a rare motion effect, broken brushstrokes, pastures, was his overloaded mark getting to be an original painter and art in his time. What is surprising is that almost all his catalog was made in just six years.


His artistic brilliance (and his great failure) was in the yellow house in Arles, an old house he rented with the money he spent, at the cost of hardship, his younger brother. The famous Sunflowers, the rooms, furniture, shoes, home, were the reasons for their emotional art, skin-deep. Here invited several artists and especially Gauguin to spend a pleasant stay.

Following its not a few fights (points view than with anger Vincent) arrives at the flight of Gauguin after the famous scene from the right ear with a razor cut Van Gogh their disagreements (gift to a prostitute). Visceral

said earlier. On returning from the hospital and harassed by their neighbors, decide in a mental hospital for a stay of nearly two years of comings and goings.

One Solitary Life (only lived with a prostitute and her son and unable to keep left), no rest and be painting under the sun all day, depressed, ill cured, poor nutrition, increased the madness and were hatched in his psyche. Crisis, visual and auditory hallucinations. Yet he never stopped painting, even in the hospital painted what he saw through the window. Today the diagnosis of schizophrenia would be a mixture with epilepsy, without discarding the bipolarity.



His paintings, often sublime, it was not a madman. Suffered from a lack of money (the amount of self-portraits are exaggerated due to inability to pay models) and was convinced that his work would be worth over time. In January 1890 he writes in a journal first positive review on the work of Vincent , the world began to realize how much of their value. In February sold its first and only life table (low price).

In late July, Van Gogh , anxious for their continuous attacks of madness and aware of the financial problems of his brother and the health of your baby (called ... Vincent ) fire in the chest just below the heart and died at 2 days to 37 years.

His brother, partner and sole financier of all his work, becomes insane in a few weeks and died before 6 months.


to ignore legend, Van Gogh is like those meteors who deign to happen every once in a while over land.


"Who am I in the eyes of the people? A nullity, an eccentric and disagreeable man, somebody who does not have a position, the most miserable of the miserable. While this is true, I would like My works show what is in the heart of this eccentric, this one. "Letters to Theo

Vitals Signs Of Head Injury






Despite a real friendship between these two principals brought by endless phone calls, dinners and shared ideas (remember Kubrick "gift" to Steven his personal version of the classic tale of Pinocchio called Artificial Intelligence), some critics underwriting to the idea that Spielberg really did not like the films of Stanley , recalling a phrase Dad ET in saying that Barry Lyndon had seemed "just moving paintings."

The reality here are the words ...






Finally, an old joke about these giants: Steven Spielberg has just died and is greeted in heaven by the angel Gabriel who told him: "God has seen all his movies, has told me to please him in everything. Just tell me what you need, anything I am at your orders. " Then Steven says, "Actually, I've always wanted to meet Stanley Kubrick Can fix a date?".
Gabriel looks at him: "YOU. Stanley knows that not like interviews, I'm sorry, I can not do that, "... but you told me ...."
Gabriel: "I am very sorry I can not really give that." It will take a walk paradise and see it happen to a guy with beard and military jacket
cycling ... "OH MY GOD!, look, there is Stanley Kubrick! Exclaims ..."¿ Spielberg could not even stop to say hello? "The archangel Gabriel takes him aside and whispers:" It is not Stanley Kubrick is God who is believed Stanley Kubrick ".

Jesse Jane Free Film Clips

OK GO THE VIDEOS OF JOHN LENNON



all say that the music of Americans OK GO, being good, is bland, colorless, dull, worthless.

Maybe they're right, but what is clear is that they are the kings of the video clip, a boom in Youtube sometimes with few resources, but with many, many ideas.

Your videos than a single sequence together into one, more video ideas all together to many bands. Visits include the net of a million and choreographic fame reaches the spoof ...






For example, this video in one take too, managed to attempt 60, with 30 engineers, physicists and two days of filming uff. When something went wrong, take 1 hour to put everything back in place. The song that you? Je Nah, it's not important ...




This according to the singer arrived in good shape to take 124! It is understood when viewed by the actors, knowing that a top is that it is nearly impossible to film children and animals (The theme is well done! Or at least I like it more than they do in general) ...





This tired of just seeing it, have stayed in the park ha ... It is said that there were 8 days of fighting with the band, extras and a goose! The dress reminds me a Parchis grown or if we get ill, about underdevelopment Power Rangers ...




His great claim to fame is the video of gym treadmills, uan \u200b\u200bsimple idea but difficult to perform. Do not put it here because there is no person who has not seen more than 15 million hits on YouTube, a record unsurpassed.

A video that I can see a thousand times and not get tired. The song helps in this case, it seems very good, accomplished within its style indie, pop and rock mixed in equal parts.

The Ok Go, a rare case of musical fame ... extra musical.
