Veiem per primera vegada la torre de Jesucrist il·luminada!
L'espectacle de llum iniciat des de la base fins a la il·luminació de la creu ha culminat amb una composició de llums guiats per drons, que han dibuixat la figura Gaudí i la frase «primer l'amor, després la tècnica».

Diogo Jota's wife, Rute Cardoso, has written a letter to Scotland captain Andy Robertson ahead of the World Cup.

She thanks Robertson for his friendship, and for preserving Diogo's memory. Robertson adds he'll have Jota at the forefront of his mind.🙏

In Jaws, Robert Shaw was drunk in the first take of this intense monologue.

He struggled with alcoholism and was a heavy drinker during Jaws production.

He suggested to Spielberg that, since the characters were drinking in the scene, he should have a few real drinks to get into character.

Spielberg agreed but then regretted it.

On the first take, Shaw got very drunk.

Crew members had to carry him onto the boat. He slurred lines, wandered off-script, and the filming was halted.

He had a blackout and didn’t remember much.

Early the next morning, Shaw called Spielberg to apologize and begged for a reshoot. He showed up sober, nailed it.

And that take was used.

Michael Mann is famous for its meticulous attention to technical details. In Heat, when Vincent Hanna realizes "we just got made" and discovers that Neil McCauley is conducting counter-surveillance on him and his team, both sides are using the same camera; the Nikon F4 35mm SLR, the most advanced camera for professional surveillance photography at the time.

Detective Casals' camera has black tape covering the white "Nikon" lettering, which was standard practice for LAPD, to prevent accidental light glints that could reveal an officer's concealed position.

Meanwhile, McCauley’s F4 keeps the Nikon lettering exposed. Not because he lacks operational awareness, but because his extreme distance and elevated position make reflections irrelevant.

His camera is fitted with a 1300mm Questar Reflector lens - essentially a portable telescope originally designed for astronomers. That same model was widely adopted by U.S. intelligence agencies for its exceptional long-range capabilities.

It can capture detailed facial features from hundreds of yards away, but the extreme magnification means even the smallest movement causes severe image shake - which is why McCauley mounts it on a sturdy tripod atop a massive oil storage tank.

When the Netherlands team visited a hospital with sick children, Noah Ohio saw one kid who’s favourite player was Jude Bellingham. 🇳🇱🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

So he rang Bellingham and this happened. ❤️🧡

Gearóid Hegarty with the softest hands in hurling.

Not power
pure touch. A slice lob into the net.
That’s not a goal… that’s artistry.

In golf it’s a flop shot.
In tennis it’s a slice lob.
In hurling
it’s Gearóid Hegarty.

The local authorities in Bruges were initially worried that In Bruges (2008) would portray the city poorly. However, the film caused such a massive surge in tourism that the city eventually created a dedicated "In Bruges" walking tour for fans.

Author Philip K. Dick never saw the finished Blade Runner (1982). However, he saw a special effects reel shortly before his death and was moved to tears, stating that Ridley Scott had perfectly captured his internal world.

From classic turf to Alpine snow, Galileo still rules!
