Hacen falta más PACOJOS @PacojoSER en nuestros medios de comunicación. Hacen falta más periodistas con espíritu crítico que bajen al barro y se pongan en el lugar de la afición, pisoteada y vilipendiada por la patronal del fútbol español, por los dirigentes de los clubes y por María Santísima
1/ Sé que medio mundo se encuentra atrapado por el canto de La Odisea de Nolan, pero es que yo quería hablar de “La muerte de Robin Hood”, de Michael Sarnoski, una de las películas más inquietantes y más oscura basada en una obra clásica que he visto en los últimos años.
Dale a favoritos y a guardar porque no va saber nada mejor.
Así cerró la BBC la emisión del Mundial 2026.
Absolutamente brillante. https://t.co/6PwEWGPuA6
@OKMobliityCorp vaya chiringuito más bien montado tenéis! Primero me alquiláis un coche lleno de golpes. Al devolverlo me decís que hay un golpe nuevo en una localización en la que había un golpe previo documentado. Y como el vídeo que grabé se ve oscuro, me cobráis la franquicia
Christopher Nolan necesitó 3 años y 300M$ para sacar adelante ‘The Odyssey’. El pu*o @billkilgore_ hizo esta obra de arte en una tarde tras secar dos pantanos de Centroamérica y dejar a cuatro pueblos del Atacama sin luz hasta diciembre. Respect.
Estas "prejubilaciones" en realidad son un fraude descarado a la Seguridad Social con la ayuda de los "sindicatos" CC.OO. y UGT. Primero os vamos a explicar lo que son en realidad y luego os vamos a demostrar porque son un fraude.👇
@diarioas publica hoy una excelente entrevista con Pedri. Es una pena que, a pesar del auge del ajedrez en los medios, se siga utilizando como un atrezo cool de valor estético.
Es muy fácil: el tablero debe estar bien colocado. Y dos piezas no pueden habitar una misma casilla.
De lo más valioso que me enseñó mi abuelo (que en paz descanse porque sigue durmiendo y son ya las 10) es que la vida es más bonita si se vive con cierto retraso mental.
@Alber Sobre lo del título, me parece imposible hacer una traducción decente y no creo que la mayoría de la gente sepa lo que significa la expresión Hail Mary (viene a ser una jugada final a la desesperada en deportes o juegos con muy pocas posibilidades de éxito). Ni tan mal
Tony Scott wrote a $25,000 personal check to turn a Navy aircraft carrier back around, just to get five more minutes of the sunlight he wanted for Top Gun's opening shot. The USS Enterprise had changed course and killed the backlight. The captain said turning the ship cost $25,000. Scott paid it himself. He later joked the check bounced.
That obsession got him fired three times during the shoot. Paramount saw his slow-motion, filtered footage coming back from the carrier and panicked, ordering him to stop. He kept shooting anyway, protected by weather so rough the studio couldn't reach the ship to pull him off. He got fired again for making Kelly McGillis look too glamorous, then a third time for lowering the pilots' helmet visors so you couldn't see the actors' faces. None of it stuck.
Cruise was 23 and watching all of it. As a condition of signing, he had negotiated his way into every production meeting and every department. In his words, that deal was "when I started to get more creative controls." He was learning how a movie gets built, from the inside.
The costs were huge. The Navy charged Paramount around $7,800 an hour to fly its F-14 Tomcats outside normal training. Almost none of it used computer effects. The air-to-air shots came from a camera rig mounted on a Learjet flying alongside the fighters, plus pods that Grumman, the company that built the jet, bolted onto the planes. For the ground passes, a cameraman hauled long lenses up a Nevada mountain and filmed the jets at his own altitude, which pulled the background in tight and made ordinary flybys look like near-crashes. Aerobatic pilot Art Scholl died filming a spin sequence. The film is dedicated to him.
The bet paid off. Top Gun cost $15 million and made $357 million, the top-grossing film of 1986. Scott then reused the same playbook for Days of Thunder, swapping fighter jets for stock cars, which is a big reason car racing looks the way it does on TV today.
Thirty-six years later, Cruise ran the sequel. Six cameras sat bolted inside real F/A-18 cockpits, the actors hit one button to roll them, and Cruise refused to sell the movie to streaming. Maverick made $1.5 billion. The kid who talked his way into the production meetings had become the producer.
Larry Walters meant to hover about a hundred feet over his backyard, tied to his Jeep with a rope. The rope snapped and carried him to 16,000 feet, into the approach path of one of the busiest airports in America.
He was 33, a Long Beach truck driver. He'd wanted to fly since he was a boy, but the Air Force turned him down for poor eyesight, so he cooked in Vietnam and drove trucks after. His plan was small. Buy weather balloons, tie 42 of them to a Sears lawn chair, drift up on a tether, pop a few with a pellet gun, and float back down for sandwiches and a beer.
The chair climbed at 800 feet a minute. Within minutes he was three miles up, freezing, dizzy in the thin air. Two airliners on approach radioed the tower to report a man sitting in a lawn chair at their altitude. He had packed a camera but later said the view left him too stunned to take a single picture.
To come down he shot several balloons, then fumbled the pellet gun and dropped it overboard. He hung up there for about 45 minutes, dumped his water jugs to slow the fall, and finally caught his dangling cables on a Long Beach power line. The contact blacked out a neighborhood for 20 minutes. He climbed down unharmed and was arrested the moment his feet touched the ground. A reporter asked him why. He said, "A man can't just sit around."
The FAA had no rule for any of this. They first charged him $4,000 across four violations, then admitted a lawn chair does not legally need an airworthiness certificate and cut the fine to $1,500.
For a while he was everywhere. Letterman, the Tonight Show, a Timex ad. He quit trucking to speak for a living and could never make it pay. The fame faded, the money never came, and in 1993 he died by suicide at 44.
Right after he landed, he handed the chair to a kid in the neighborhood. Twenty years later that kid gave it to the Smithsonian. The $109 lawn chair now sits in the National Air and Space Museum, parked among the fighter jets and the space capsules.
