Als Gedenkfilm für Glenda Jackson wählten wir als Musikliebhaber Ken Russels unseriöse Tschaikowski-Biographie The Music Lovers, in der sie wirkungsvoll darüber wahnsinnig wird, daß ihr Gatte, der bekannte Komponist sie nicht liebt. Wesentlich unseriöser als Es war eine rauschende Ballnacht hier ist es eigentlich auch nicht, möglicherweise sogar etwas ehrlicher darin, warum er sie nicht liebt.

Le cinque chiavi del terrore
Benvenuti o bentornati sul nostro blog. Nello scorso articolo siamo tornati a parlare di un grande regista che ho sempre amato, John Carpenter, e l’abbiamo fatto con una pellicola realizzata su commissione ma in grado di mostrare la bravura del regista, Christine – La macchina infernale. La storia parla di Arnie, un ragazzo timido e impacciato che un giorno vede una vecchia Playmuoth Fury rossa…

Newey details major F1 trait shared by Vettel and Verstappen
"I think with all the drivers I've been lucky enough to work with over the year, their feedback is vital," he says.
"Very often, different drivers will be more sensitive to different areas.
"For example, Sebastian Vettel and Max have one thing in common, in that they are both very sensitive to the tyres.
"Other drivers, like Mark Webber for instance, were very sensitive to aerodynamic changes, and Max is as well.
"With the driveability of the engine, some drivers are more sensitive than others, so you get different bits of feedback from different drivers and then piece it all together.
"Theoretically, you could argue that with all the sensors on the car, and all the simulation tools we have to derive from the sensors, then we shouldn't need the feedback of a human.
"But, the human feedback is vital as the human is the controller, the sensitivity and feeling and ability to express that is key.
"It is not a machine-driven vehicle."

Victoria Regina: Winter (1.4, Granada, 1964)
"What is one to do? There are so many of them - far too many, as you say - and social conditions make it so difficult, you can't get rid of ignorance in a day, Mrs. Clayton!"
"No, nor in a lifetime if one does nothing. Indifference, prejudice, class distinction; all help."
"Help?"
"Have helped, most certainly, to make Windsor what no self-respecting place ought to be."
"Would you wish to get rid of class distinction, Mrs. Clayton?"
"I would wish to get rid of anything, ma'am, which prevents people from recognising their responsibilities."
