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!!

JAZZ TRANSCENDENCE

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

“Transcendence” means “going beyond”, and “self-transcendence” means going beyond a prior form or state of oneself.  Mystical experience is thought of as a particularly advanced state of self-transcendence, in which the sense of a separate self is abandoned.  The Spirit rises beyond the physical universe and perceives the spiritual or aesthetic universe.  When an artist creates, one often enters a state of transcendence in which aesthetic or spiritual creation is achieved without regard to the limitations of the physical universe.  Beauty, in any form, is a manifestation of spiritual creation.
