Celebrities That Became Overweight

I remember the majority of these celebs when they were young and fit. Now the years have gone by and they are not what they were anymore… Well, time changes us all, some of us in a better way, some of us not in a not very flattering way…

El pasado es el destino

[Nota de prensa]

Ediciones Cátedra publica El pasado es el destino. Propaganda y cine del bando nacional de la Guerra Civil, de Rafael R. Tranche y Vicente Sánchez-Biosca

La Filmoteca Española acogerá durante el próximo mes distintas actividades en torno a la obra y su temática


El pasado es el destino. Propaganda y cine del bando nacional en la Guerra Civil, coeditada por Filmoteca Española y Ediciones Cátedra, es el fruto de la investigación que a lo largo de seis años han realizado Rafael R. Tranche (Universidad Complutense de Madrid) y Vicente Sánchez-Biosca (Universidad de Valencia) sobre las estrechas relaciones entre propaganda, medios de comunicación y cine del llamado bando nacional durante la Guerra Civil y la posguerra.




El objeto de este libro es el cine, una forma moderna de expresión artística y cultural que despertó el interés, y aun el ansia, de los totalitarismos y, en el caso que nos ocupa, de los fascismos, que descubrieron que a través de la imagen podían transmitir emociones y adoctrinar a la población de forma rápida. En el corazón de estas operaciones está el Departamento Nacional de Cinematografía (1938-1941), que puso en pie una producción eficaz compuesta por una veintena de documentales y el Noticiario español.




La obra de Tranche y Sánchez-Biosca aporta una nueva mirada del cine de la época tanto desde el punto de vista histórico como desde el fondo y la forma de los ejes principales de la propaganda, analizando sus imágenes (que ofrece por primera vez, tal y como fueron concebidas, en el DVD que incluye esta edición) en relación con el conjunto de la producción nacional y como respuesta a las iniciativas del bando republicano. Todo ello permitirá al lector adentrarse en uno de los períodos más convulsos de nuestra historia reciente, aunque el clamor de las palabras y lo hiriente de las imágenes parezcan ya muy lejanos.




Con motivo de la publicación de esta obra, se llevará a cabo en la Filmoteca Española (Cine Doré. C/ Santa Isabel, 3) diversas actividades que darán comienzo hoy martes 31 de mayo a las 20:30 horas con la proyección del DVD que acompaña al libro, y continuando el día 1 de junio a las 18:30 h. con una mesa redonda "Imágenes para hacer Historia" en la que intervendrán Xosé Manuel Núñez Seixas (historiador), Carlos García-Alix (pintor y cineasta) y los autores del libro. Igualmente, también se llevará a cabo el ciclo "Guerra Civil y Cine" en los siguientes días del mes de junio.

The first 'rapid 1'

The 7:10 from Ripley to Nottingham leaving Ripley. I will be catching the 10:15 departure because this one is twirly.
I caught the 10:15 to Nottingham and the 3:17 back. Both were bang on time and carried 25-30 pax to and from Nottingham. The pensioner in front of me remembered both the trolleybuses and the previous limited stop service.

High Peak

On Thursday Richard and Kath Lomas went to Buxton to get a few pictures of Bowers and trent barton buses before they are taken over by the new High Peak company later in the year.

The 185/186 town service was operated by old faithful Dennis Darts.

Most Bowers services were operated by Optare Solos.

The Open Road

by Ken Jones
What was it like on the open road at Whitsun Holiday before the onslaught of the motor car? I don't know - I'm too young - but today we were able to see what it was like when traffic in Somerset avoided the A358 and A361 and my camera so that a coach called "Island Queen" could bring back Bank Holidays and the Open Road. With a wave from the driver and a smile from the young hostess, the passengers can sit back and admire the view, without the traffic of today.
picture by "zummerset in days gone by" - a Ken Jones idea

We were able to achieve this thanks to the following people:

  • The local "bobby" on his bike for traffic control - also resurrected for the day
  • My sister for providing lunch - she knows how to look after me
  • Local villagers who stayed away because of the uncertainty in Bank Holiday weather - something that still continues to this day

Unfortunately to really capture the time gone by we needed to paint out the cycle lane and remove the modern lamp - posts but we didn't have enough visitors / volunteers to do this - perhaps next time.
