Art is subjective. It is a quality of communication can be contributed to by the viewer through empathy or agreement with its creator.

I THINK THEREFORE I HAVE A TOOTHACHE

I THINKMilan Kundera  (born 1 April 1929) is a Czech-born writer who went into exile in France in 1975, and became a naturalized French citizen in 1981.

Kundera’s most famous work, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, was published in 1984. The book chronicles the fragile nature of an individual’s fate, theorizing that a single lifetime is insignificant in the scope of Nietzsche’s concept of eternal return. In an infinite universe, everything is guaranteed to recur infinitely. In 1988, American director Philip Kaufman released a film adaptation.

Prior to the Velvet Revolution of 1989 the Communist régime in Czechoslovakia banned his books. He lives virtually incognito and rarely speaks to the media. A perennial contender for the Nobel Prize in Literature, he has been nominated on several occasions

FLASH GORDON in “Planet of Peril!” (1936) SATURDAY NIGHT SERIAL

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

POP UP A BATCH OF POPCORN, KIDDIES, AND SNUGGLE UP ON THE SOFA TO WATCH ALL 13 EPISODES OF THE CLASSIC SCI-FI SERIAL filmed in 1936:  FLASH GORDON (Starring Buster Crabb) encounter with the evil Emperor Ming the Merciless in “The Planet of Peril!” (Remember, this is 1936 when Hitler was rising to power in Fascist Germany and the world was in a economic depression caused by International Bankers.  It was filmed BEFORE the discovery of “RADIOACTIVE ENERGY”, which is mentioned in the film!  Another interesting line of dialogue from this film when the “Emperor of the Universe” his slave-bride to be brainwashed:  “Science can overcome all things — even the human emotions.”

When I was a kid my Mom gave me 10 cents to go see the “Saturday Matinee” in my little town of 2,000 people.  This was really cheap baby-sitting back then.  3 hours of freedom for my Mom and 3 hours of freedom for the kids!  Every week the theater would show black and white “serials” and a cartoon (Bugs Bunny was my favorite) before the featured film started.  Some of the “serials” I remember best were the Science Fiction ones, based on comic strips.  There were two that I love the most:  1) Flash Gordon and 2) Commando Cody.  There were other Western serials, like The Lone Ranger, and Hopalong Cassidy.  But I loved science fiction the best, and still do to this day.This is one of the truly ground-breaking, creative productions of science fiction on film.  If you haven’t seen Flash Gordon, you don’t know what REAL Science Fiction films is about.  Enjoy, Citizens of Earth!!

PAN GOD OF THE WOODS – FREE PDF BOOK ( CLICK TO DOWNLOAD)

Pan, the Greek god of forests, shepherds and fertility, has long represented the pagan gods in general. With the advent of the Christian church communication with the pagan gods was very heavily suppressed by priests PAN GOD OF THE WOODSwho have a vested interest in eliminating religious competition, by any means required, including, but not limited to lying, stealing, cheating, murder, mayhem, extortion, torture and blackmail. As a result, general public attention to the pagan gods disappeared about 2,000 years ago.

PAN-GOD OF THE WOODS assumes that the pagan gods may still be active, living beings. If any of the ancient gods are still around in the 21st century, what are they doing now? If they are here now — still watching, still powerful, still immortal — where or how might we contact them? If Pan is still around which of us mortals could not use the helping hand of a friendly god once in awhile?
