“La profundidad es un lujo.

Terminar un libro. Conversar sin un teléfono sobre la mesa. Dedicar más de diez minutos a reflexionar sobre un problema. Escuchar un álbum completo. Escribir sin interrupciones. Estar en un lugar sin sentir la necesidad de publicarlo.

En un mundo que vende distracción masiva, la atención sostenida se ha convertido en el privilegio de quienes deciden. Y viven.“

JUST IN: Mexico City is reportedly facing major protests, road blockades, & unfinished infrastructure work just 8 days before the World Cup kicks off.

Se acuerdan cuando en un debate presidencial del 2018 Anaya le dijo a AMLO: “ el problema no es que seas viejo, el problema es que tus ideas son viejas, el problema no es que no entiendas inglés, el problema es que no entiendes el mundo”
A lo que AMLO contestó “Riqui, riquín, canallín”
Y todo México se cagó de risa.
¿Aún les parece gracioso a quién le dimos el poder?

Andrew Tate: "Reading books is for losers...Books are a total waste of time."

Kanye West: "I am not a fan of books...I am a proud non-reader of books."

Clavicular: "I don't really read books...you could just get the information through summaries and articles."

Don't be like these guys.

Pick up a book today.

Mexico paid $20 million for eight minutes in this movie. Then those eight minutes forced them to invent an entire cultural tradition.

Before Spectre, Mexico City had no Day of the Dead parade. The holiday was celebrated at home, at cemeteries, with family altars. Quiet, intimate, centuries old. Sam Mendes fabricated a massive street parade for the opening sequence, shot it with 1,500 extras in skeleton costumes across the Zócalo, and audiences worldwide assumed they were watching a real annual event.

Mexico's government had negotiated hard for the placement. Leaked Sony hack emails showed officials offered up to $20 million in tax incentives for four minutes of positive portrayal. Sony was drowning in a $300 million budget. The deal included script changes: the Bond girl had to be a Mexican actress, the villain could not be Mexican, and the city's modern skyline had to appear on screen.

Then the movie opened in 182 countries and tourists started booking flights to Mexico City for the parade.

The parade that did not exist.

Tourism authorities panicked. Visitors were arriving expecting the spectacle they saw in the film and finding nothing. So in October 2016, the government spent $500,000, hired 650 volunteers, built dozens of floats and giant skeleton marionettes, and staged the first real Día de los Muertos parade in Mexico City's history. 250,000 people showed up. They openly called it a "Spectre-style parade" in press materials.

Ten years later, the parade draws millions. Anthropologists call it the "pizza effect," where a cultural element gets exported, transformed abroad, and reimported as authentic. Mexico's most famous public celebration of its most sacred holiday was invented by a British director shooting a $300 million spy movie.

That tracking shot is doing more for Mexico City's economy every November than the $20 million they paid for it.

@aakashgupta Indeed!! I'm a Native mexican with 50 years old and I subscribe every word of this post! I don't have any recalls of this supposed 'tradition'. It never existed and it was created as a marketing consequence of this movie. A Hollywood product.
