“Il centrodestra, anzi la destra, si è meritato questo risultato catastrofico e non credo che la colpa sia del candidato milanese (a parte la stupida vigliaccata del dibattito). Anzi, nonostante ispirasse antipatia da tutti i pori, credo che l’ex sindaco di Milano non abbia nemmeno governato male. Ha perso Silvio Berlusconi. Ha perso quel che resta del Pdl. Ha perso la Lega.

The ruined village Palestinians will never forget →
“Lifta was one of hundreds of Arab villages taken over by the embryonic Jewish state. But it is the only one not to have been subsequently covered in the concrete and tarmac of Israeli towns and roads, or planted over with trees and shrubs to create forests, parks and picnic areas, or transformed into Israeli artists’ colonies. Some argue that Israel set out to erase any vestige...

Blade Runner Polaroids of the Day: Sean Young, aka Rachael from Blade Runner, has a gallery of Polaroid photos from the Blade Runner set up at her official website. The shots show Young with her co-stars, including Harrison Ford and Rutger Hauer.
It’s a stark reminder that the only thing scarier than a dystopian near future is our mustachioed near past. Facial hair circa 1982 was creepy.

Jeff Conaway, 1950-2011
”[…] Conway [sic] truly broke out in 1978’s Grease, playing John Travolta’s cocky, lothario fellow T-Bird, Kenickie. His character’s romance with Stockard Channing’s Rizzo (and the unplanned pregnancy that results) provides one of the more dramatic storylines in the film, but Conaway’s star moment was far lighter: The rousing number “Greased Lightning,” in which Conaway, comb at...

“It’s one thing for a football fan to call a player a donkey. But it’s another altogether to dress an ass in the footballer’s replica shirt. Especially when the player heads the national football federation and is the son of the country’s dictator, who in fury sentences three of the fans to death and razes the team’s stadium and clubhouse.”

Debbie Harry: 'I'm sort of a cult figure' →
American rock photographer Bob Gruen recently described Harry as “the Marilyn Monroe of her generation”. “Iconic?” she echoes. “I guess so. But the word ‘iconic’ is used too frequently – an icon is a statue carved in wood. It was shocking at first, when I got that reference. It was a responsibility, and it’s impossible to live up to – you’re...

The site represents 17 years worth of collecting and features posters from all genres as well as several countries,...
