CULTURA POP

Cuando el Presidente Obama inauguró el martes 20 de enero del presente año, residentes en Wisconsin, Estados Unidos tuvieron la oportunidad de ver el evento histórico en el cine. Sí, el cine. Cada uno de los espectadores pagó seis dólares para ver la inauguración en Majestic Theater.

Conozco a gente quien reserva mesas en lugares como Fontana para ver partidos de futbol y el Super Bowl porque para ellos es un momento público, no privado, que les gustaría compartir con sus amigos, igual extraños.

¡Qué gran gusto y gran negocio serían si todos los cines mexicanos empiezan a emitir conciertos, partidos, discursos políticos, obras de teatro y otros espectáculos no cinemáticas! Piensa bien en el concepto innovador. Coldplay tocará en Foro Sol en el Distrito Federal en marzo 2010. El boleto más económico cuesta 250 pesos. Todavía no hemos agregado el pasaje ida y vuelta a Cuernavaca, alimentos, bebidas y una noche en el hotel para los que no tiene hospedaje en el DF; será casi mil pesos para ver tu grupo favorito. Si por ejemplo Cinépolis hace un enlace en vivo del concierto y cobra unos 300 pesos a cada espectador, el trato convendrá a ambos lados. Cinépolis podría aprovechar y llenar salas cuando no haya películas blockbusters y los espectadores disfrutarán las pantallas grandes de alta definición y 3D. Imagina luciendo y llegando al cine estilo alfombra roja para ver los Premios Oscars si fueras Angelina Jolie o en el caso de los hombres George Clooney.

Me acuerdo una lectura de un querido profesor en la cual nos contó que hace muchas décadas ir al cine fue un pasatiempo involucrando toda la comunidad porque no todos los hogares tuvieron una televisión.

LOSING A LOVED ONE

My friend's mom died today. What is even sadder about her death and the pain of my friend is that the doctors supposedly misdiagnosed her illness and then it was too late. Incompetence? Lack of medical preparation in a third world country? Guess we will never know. The only thing that we know for sure and should accept without fear isthat we are all going to die one day.

RIP Joy, you will be missed.

WTF MOMENTS

1. Journalism student who says more censorship is needed.

2. Very subjective future communicators.

3. Not showing respect to an invited guest.

Ecclesiastes 12 verse 1
Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them...

Proverbs 6 verse 6
Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise...

Ruth 1 verse 16
And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God...

Ephesians 4:32
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.


GEMS
-Kind hearts are gardens, kind thoughts are roots, kind words are blossoms, kind deeds are fruits.

-Laziness grows on people. It begins in cobwebs and ends in iron chains

-Don't lean on others be a man! Stand on footing of your own. Be independent if you can,
and cultivate a sound backbone.

- Speak the truth and speak it ever, cost it what it will. He would hides the wrong he did, does the wrong thing still
