THE BOX - REAL. RICHARD KELLY
Uma matryoshka infinita concebida por M.C. Escher. Sartre em versão sci-fi realizada por David Lynch. The Third Man reescrito por Philip K. Dick. Lulu On The Bridge em colisão frontal com The Day The Earth Stood Still. O Milgram Experiment (sort of) redesenhado por Arthur C. Clarck. O mito de Adão e Eva a flutuar entre Barton Fink e The Shining. Uma "morality play" em formato "mindfuck" dirigida por Richard Kelly mas sem coelhos gigantes. Muito provavelmente, um mau filme. Se calhar, ridículo. E absolutamente fascinante. Com uma magnífica banda sonora de Win Butler, Régine Chassagne e Owen Pallett (sim, esses mesmos).

MY GOD, IT'S FULL OF STARS! (I)

"Starry Night" - Van Gogh, 1889
O Ano Internacional da Astronomia vai provocar um "apagão" que atingirá cidades e vilas por todo o país no dia 18 de Julho (sábado). De Braga a Lisboa, de Angra do Heroísmo a Cascais, de Coimbra a Bragança, da Calheta a Espinho, de Moimenta a Mira, alguns dos mais emblemáticos monumentos e praças centrais vão "desaparecer" na noite para fazer brilhar as estrelas. A iniciativa, promovida pelo Ano Internacional da Astronomia, pretende alertar os portugueses para o grave problema da poluição luminosa e, ao mesmo tempo, mostrar a beleza do céu nocturno. (daqui)

Modelo da "flat earth"
Flat Earth Society
(só um teaser): "In 1956, Samuel Shenton took over the Universal Zetetic Society and founded the Flat Earth Society. The organization took a hit when satellite images taken from outer space showed the Earth as a sphere rather than flat, but they were not fazed. Shenton remarked: 'It's easy to see how a photograph like that could fool the untrained eye'. The society also took the position that the Apollo Moon landings were a hoax, staged by Hollywood and based on a script by Arthur C. Clarke, a position also held by others not connected to the Flat Earth Society. On hearing this, Clarke sent a facetious letter to NASA's chief administrator: 'Dear Sir, on checking my records, I see that I have never received payment for this work. Could you please look into this matter with some urgency? Otherwise you will be hearing from my solicitors, Messrs Geldsnatch, Geldsnatch and Blubberclutch'".
