Borzage o la ira de los dioses

Tengo varias cosas en preparación para ofrecer en estas citas cinematográficas, pero no podía dejar pasar la oportunidad de publicar una pequeña 'joyita' de esas de investigación cinéfila que,de vez en cuando te levantan el ánimo, y le dan significado a esta actividad bloggera que, como otros muchos, practico y comparto, y con un única similitud, ésta poco discutible: amar el cine. Dejo ya el discurso medio patriotero que me ha salido, y voy al grano.
Los tres fotogramas que acompañan este blog, (por si alguien que lea esto no logra distinguir a qué film me refiero), corresponden a la película: 'The Wrath of the Gods' (La ira de los dioses), dirigida por Reginald Barker, en 1914 y en la que, figura, entre los actores, Frank Borzage, que en aquellos años ya había dirigido al menos una decena de películas mudas pero que, comenzó su carrera en esto del cine haciendo pequeños papeles. Aquí interpretaba a un marinero yanki que se enamora de una japonesa, (Sessue Hayakawa), hija de un pescador y a la que acusan de estar endemoniada por haberse 'abandonado' a la religión cristiana y 'pecar' con el fornido musculitos, o sea Borzage.
Gracias a María José, (que ha podido visionarla) por haberme posibilitado este descubrimiento.

Landi, gracias a usted por hacer extensivo a los demás este descubrimiento. Los que adoramos el cine clásico, entendiendo por éste el desarrollado durante las primeras décadas del cine sonoro (años treinta a sesenta (?)) a menudo olvidamos los comienzos.
Por mi parte, deseoso de ir cubriendo poco a poco esta laguna, ya he tomado cartas en el asunto y por el momento ya me he hecho con el DVD de La Máscara del Zorro de Fred Niblo, con un desatadamente burlón Douglas Fairbanks.

Un saludo cinéfilo, Landi.

Magnífica película, 'La marca del Zorro'. En la edición DVD video, aparecen videoclips y diversas fichas gráficas sobre otras versiones y secuelas. Bastante interesante, se la recomiendo. Por cierto, tengo interés en leer la novela de McCulley en la que se basa este personaje. Saludos!!

Gracias también por ese video homenaje sobre Douglas y el 'parkour'. Saludos

Now here is a shoe-in for the list of the year's best gaming-related clothing : Adidas has brought back its ZX five hundred running shoe, and, since it originally is from the '80s, the gaming inspired design and coloring is a no-brainer ... Right? The kicks won't be the coolest part of the deal, either ; they come packaged with a combo bracelet/USB flashdrive containing ZX Runner, a PC game based on ... The shoe itself.

GameCulture writes the game stars a character named'DJ Zed' who, according to Adidas, has 5 minutes to'run, moon-walk, climb walls, avoid some dodgy-looking thugs, collect power-ups, and pull off insane rooftop-to-rooftop stunts' to get on-stage before his set starts. It looks fittingly retro -- see for yourself in the video we've included after the breakdance.

There are numerous things with the potential to influence us, and [url=http://www.hotdeal.vn/]Thoi trang nu[/url] has lived-up to that capability. If you stop and think about it, you will probably notice a lot of the different ways it can wiggle its way into your life. As you find out more, you will quickly realize there is a great deal more than meets they eye.

There is adequate awareness surrounding this so people know what to expect. But when you can uncover all you can and learn, then you will find yourself in a better position. The rest of this article will boost your understanding of this topic.

The relative difficulties of women's and men's fashion

Both men and women may feel the difficulties of maintaining their clothing up-to-date and in time, yet men's style frequently feels a lot less difficult. Of program, for both genders, costumes and style options could be quite as delicate, and there are several'fashionable'items that can rapidly become fashion faux pas - who will say they often times see people walking around in 70s flares? On the other hand, men's fashion has a few staple items which can exist forever - which man is going to watch out of position with a good-quality, tailored suit, for example? Pick classic pieces, colors and fabrics and you'll never seem out-of-place.

Why basic men's style is timeless

The classic man's suit has barely changed for over a hundred years. True, there are several varieties for various occasions, but they are all popular in their search for a smart, sharp look for the person. The great thing about common style for men is that it is efficiently trendy efficiently neat. A well-groomed man can almost always look his sharpest in a well-tailored suit, and it is a testament to the design of such apparel. A match will be used to work in many jobs because of the professional look it offers to the person, instilling a sense of respect and trust. Similarly a match will undoubtedly be used to many social events, such as a tuxedo to a black-tie affair. This amazing versatility which allows matches to be used in just about all events is what gives it its classic edge and a permanent place in men's fashion.

Contemporary trends in traditional men's fashion

Though common men's styles can never be changed, it's interesting to remember that shifts in men's fashion trends have produced certain classic clothes back into fashion. The recognition of vintage clothing, especially, has taken back a wide-variety of basic types into men's closets, such as that of the dandy gentleman. 'Dandy'is a term used to refer to men who dress in a classic yet lavish way, placing importance on appearance and acting in a refined approach. This development for nearly'over-the-top'classic fashion for men is evident from events including the'Tweed Run', wherever men and girls of all ages clothe themselves in particularly Victorian-style clothing and take to the streets on vintage bikes - with lots of the men wearing perfect mustaches! That is only one of several samples of research showing the resurrection of such designs. There are also numerous blogs on line which concentrate on gentlemanly style - such as'The Dandy Project'and'Dandyism'- as well as entire websites such as'The Art of Manliness'dedicated to providing articles on traditional men's fashion and grooming.

In summary, though certain areas of classic men's fashion can be cut back as new styles, the simple outfits that they are based on will never fall out of fashion.
