Extended D23 Brazil Trailer for MCU's 'Thunderbolts*' Big 2025 Movie

"So what? Do we all just punch and shoot?" Lock & load. Marvel has debuted a new almost 4-minute long promo trailer from D23 Brazil for their next big MCU movie Thunderbolts*. This will kick off the summer 2025 movie season opening on May 2nd, 2025 next year. A ragtag group of antiheroes is sent on covert missions for the American government. This still just looks like Marvel's MCU version of The Suicide Squad, bringing together a group of offbeat superheroes / supervillains to join up as the "Thunderbolts" and do the fed's dirty work. The fun ensemble cast includes David Harbour as Red Guardian, Hannah John-Kamen as Ava Starr / Ghost, Wyatt Russell as U.S. Agent, Sebastian Stan as Bucky, Lewis Pullman as Bob aka "Sentry", Olga Kurylenko as Taskmaster, and Florence Pugh as Black Widow Yelena Belova, plus Geraldine Viswanathan as Mel, and finally Julia Louis-Dreyfus as the handler Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. This is a much better trailer than the first teaser, spending time introducing every single one of these misfits. Bob still looks like the most interesting. And Red Guardian looks like the funniest one. Enjoy. Here's the D23 Brazil promo trailer for Jake Schreier's movie […]

Official US Trailer for Leos Carax's 'It's Not Me' Autobiographical Short

"The Smile of Speed." Janus Films has unveiled the official US trailer for It's Not Me, the autobiographic self-portrait short documentary film made by Leos Carax. The mastermind French filmmaker premiered this at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, and it has played at tons of other fests including NYFF, London, Karlovy Vary. The 41-minute biopic film is a "self-portrait of the director and his oeuvre, revisiting in free-form more than 40 years of the author's filmography." This autobiography takes a look back at all of his films and his work, and examines politics over time and the art-form of cinema. The intro: "For an exhibition, that in the end never took place, the Pompidou Museum asked the filmmaker to reply, in pictures, to the question: Where are you at, Leos Carax? He attempts an answer – full of questions. About himself and 'his' world: I don't know, but if I did, I'd reply that..." C'est pas moi or It's Not Me. With Denis Lavant, Kateryna Yuspina, Loreta Juodkaite, Anna-Isabel Siefken, Nastya Golubeva Carax, & Petr Anevskii, plus Bianca Maddaluno. This will be streaming on Criterion Channel in December if anyone wants to watch. Here's the official US […]

MI COMENTARIO:
El inventor francés Thomas Roch desarrolla un nuevo tipo de explosivo con un enorme poder destructivo: el “fulgurador Roch”; lo ofrece a varios países, pero es rechazado. Destrozado por este acontecimiento, termina recluido en un sanatorio mental para ricos en Carolina del Norte, EE.UU. Aquí lo cuida el ingeniero francés Simon Hart, que también trabaja con una identidad falsa.
Al ser un sanatorio modelo, es visitado repetidamente por personas interesadas, entre ellas el conde de Artigas, que secuestra al inventor y a su cuidador. A medida que avanza la trama, los acontecimientos se muestran desde el punto de vista de Simon Hart. Primero tiene que resolver el enigma de cómo se mueve la goleta del Conde a pesar de que las velas no están izadas y el motor no está presente. La solución sólo se le aclara en el destino del viaje, la isla de Back Cup en las Bermudas, cuando lo llevan en un submarino al interior de esta isla.
El narrador en primera persona conoce la isla porque ya la ha visitado debido a los rumores de que es un volcán despertado. Allí, Hart descubre que el presunto conde es el pirata Ker Karraje. Éste eligió la isla como refugio para su pandilla y simuló la actividad volcánica mediante explosiones selectivas. El objetivo de Karraje es poseer el arma desarrollada por Roch para finalmente ser invulnerable. De hecho, parece congraciarse con el inventor, quien desarrolla para él los explosivos y cohetes que desea.
Como Hart no ve otra opción, envía un mensaje en una botella al mundo exterior con todos los hechos que ha aprendido. Después de un intento inicialmente fallido de liberación por parte de un submarino de la Armada británica, la isla es atacada por cinco buques de guerra de diferentes países. Después de hundir inicialmente uno de los barcos (el alemán), Roch finalmente reacciona ante la colocación del pabellón tricolor francés en uno de los barcos restantes y se hace volar a sí mismo y a toda la isla. Sólo sobrevive Simon Hart.
Aparecen en la obra varios temas que serían muy relevantes en la ficción de espionaje hasta nuestros días: el desarrollo de armas de destrucción masiva, el peligroso posibilismo científico, la búsqueda de información estratégica, etc. Pero hay un detalle que no se suele tomar en cuenta en las reseñas del libro: el gobierno de Estados Unidos fue el que decidió encerrar a Roch en el sanatorio Healthful-House, con la directiva de “anotar con minucioso cuidado todo lo que inconscientemente se le escapara en el curso de sus crisis”. Anticipa así Verne la captación de mentes brillantes por parte de los gobiernos de los países, una práctica central en la competencia de las potencias mundiales durante los siglos XX y XXI.
 
ADAPTACIÓN AL CINE
El director checoslovaco Karel Zeman dirigió Vynález zkázy en 1958, combinando actores reales con escenarios ilustrados. Participaron Lubor Tokos (Simon Hart), Arnost Navrátil (prof. Roch), Miroslav Holub (Artigas), Frantisek Slégr (capitán pirata), Václav Kyzlink (ing. Serke), Jana Zatloukalová (Jana), Frantisek Cerný (cap. Spade), Otto Simánek (Muz ve vlaku) y Václav Trégl.

Matt Pittman, quien una vez fuera un famoso periodista, ha quedado destruido por una tragedia personal abrumadora y prepara su propio suicidio.
Súbitamente, recibe una llamada telefónica de un redactor del periódico donde ha trabajado los últimos años —y que ahora está a punto de cerrar—, que le encarga un último favor: escribir el obituario de un hombre que todavía no ha muerto.
Arrancado del borde de la muerte y lanzado a lo inesperado, Matt se encuentra acusado de matar al mismo hombre sobre el cual iba a escribir. Ahora se aferra a la vida que poco antes deseaba abandonar, y se convierte en un fugitivo tanto de la policía como de los auténticos asesinos.
Mientras corre para desentrañar la historia más peligrosa de su carrera, Matt busca la redención en el profundo amor por Jill Warren, que se convierte en su cómplice en la carrera para sobrevivir. Matt se ve inmerso en una conspiración de ancianos intermediarios del poder, de influencia letal en Estados Unidos y en el mundo entero.

MYSTERY EXHIBIT

New exhibit: Spy Vibers in the UK have a chance to visit a new exhibit in Cambridge which celebrates the history and enduring legacy of Agatha Christie and other mystery authors. From the press release: "Murder by the Book: a celebration of 20th century British crime fiction puts on display nearly 100 of the most famous, influential and best-selling crime novels in UK history, as well as other consequential works that are now long out of print. The vast majority of novels on display are drawn from the Library’s unique, world-class Tower collection of first editions in their original dust jackets. The exhibition has been supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.

"Aside from Christie’s 1937 Remington typewriter, one of the star exhibits of Murder by the Book is the typescript of her final Poirot novel Curtain – locked away for nearly 30 years and originally supposed to be published posthumously. It was the last novel published before her death in 1976 and finally revealed a closely guarded secret about Christie’s beloved detective Hercule Poirot – a revelation so culturally significant, that it featured on the front page of the New York Times. The Christie objects, loaned by the Christie Archive Trust, also include her draft notebooks from the writing of Curtain and Witness for the Prosecution. Elsewhere, the exhibition also features Wilkie Collins’ writing desk, as well as the Library’s first edition copy of his seminal work The Moonstone." More info at the exhibit website

Albatross Exhibitionist


This video was inspired by the tragic story and images of Albatross chicks on Midway Island in the Pacific dying slow and agonizing deaths due to ingested plastics consumed in error by the seabirds. It was produced by Skeleton Sea, a group of surfers who have created a green art project that promotes clean oceans, respect for nature and human rights. The artists use the flotsam washed up on beaches to create their art.
In February 2012, Skeleton Sea held an art workshop in Sanya, China in association with the Volvo Ocean Race during its stop-over. The group presented its work, "Presents of the Sea" to the Serenity Marina Sailing School where it will remain on permanent exhibition.
