Somebody once told me the Garcia Garcia were a little bit wired, including their dogs…

That ’70 Show, ranked in the 4th place in my top 5 all time TV sitcom ranking.

Red Foreman (Reginald Albert Foreman), an extremely conservative war veteran, is grumpiness incarnated. During working hours he’s a boss from hell, at home never content and always bickering with his extremely sociable wife Kitty and kids.

Red thinks that men shouldn’t hug other men. Check out this masterpiece episode when this couple moved into his neighborhood.

And by the way, gorgeous video of ArduCopter flying over spectacular San Francisco scenery.

Sunshine, the art of sameness

Mr. Singer — Sat, 07 Apr 2012 14:42:47 +0000

I´m subscribed to dozens of newsletters. Sometimes is difficult to read them all so for the most of them final destination is my trashcan. Last week, I received one from from Ad Age that kept my attention. The headline was “McDonald’s Not So “Sunshine” About Behind-the-Scenes Film From China Shoot”. The short film “Sunshine” is an indiscrete eye following American producer John Benet as he shoots a TV spot for TBWA on a McDonald’s campaign in China. The short is depressing and frustrating but at the same time is beautiful. From the meetings during the creative discussions to the casting process where some of the actors were not “sunshine” enough for the client.

But for me, two were the things that I enjoyed the most. The first one was about the contrast between the “old China” or putting it in a different but more straightforward way, how the occidental world and how modernity is corrupting chinese culture. In Benet’s own words he wonders aloud if advertising is corrupting Chinese culture.

The second one was about what he described as the culture of “sameness” where everything is starting to fell the same no matter were you go. “When we travel we want to experience something different. It just feels the same,” Mr. Benet says during shots of commercial areas in Shanghai. “It’s my job to sell that sameness.”

I hope you enjoy the short as I did. Below you will find a link to watch the movie.

2 AM in the morning and I´m seated on my king size heavenly bed working on my computer. I´m in Rio de Janeiro travelling for business and I received an email from my wife with the following image attached to it…
Yes, I love her.

Don Vinccenzo Coccoti, the Antichrist

Mr. Vincent Coccoti. Dennis Hopper’s worst nightmare. The Antichrist himself. He is Blue Lavoyle’s conciglieri, the man his son stole from. He played a little “Q&A” with Hopper to find out where the narcotics are and he began offering him a Chesterfield.
Walken and Hopper both at their absolute best, with classic Tarantino dialogue. Truly amazing.This might be the best scene Tarantino ever wrote.
Beautiful, ENJOY!!!

PS: As a bonus track, you will find James Gandolfini as one of Coccoti’s ruffians.
