The King of the Indies (Il Re delle Indie) - Movie Review

TL;DR – A fascinating look into an equally fascinating sport that brings a city together while pitting it against itself. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4 out of 5. Post-Credit Scene – There is no post-credit scene.Disclosure – I was sent a screener of this film. The King of the Indies Review – Today, I felt like I needed a change, which is when an email appeared in my inbox. Maybe it is that the Olympics are…

I am actually quite shocked over the weird fact there really are a lot of Mr. John Philip Shenale's contributions to the musicians from all around the world. Look, you can find him on a record by Franco Battita, one of the most intriguing figures in Italian pop. I mean, he doesn't really fit the pattern of the genre I mentioned. Sure, he sings in Italian, yet that is about all he has in common with his scene. True, he also has a strong production like many of his fellow country men, yet his entire persona resembles that of Umberto Eco, if you catch my drift. Surprisingly, his tunes are quite catchy, though you need an encyclopedia to get all of their meanings. To be honest, we should be happy there are some figures like him.

Castor and Pollux (1790) Filippo Tagliolini, Italian (1745-1809), bisque porcelain.

Castor and Pollux (or in Greek, Polydeuces) were twin half-brothers in Greek and Roman mythology, known together as the Dioscuri.

Their mother was Leda, but they had different fathers; Castor was the mortal son of Tyndareus, the king of Sparta, while Pollux was the divine son of Zeus, who seduced Leda in the guise of a swan. Though accounts of their birth are varied, they are sometimes left to have been born from an egg, along with their twin sisters Helen of Troy and Clytemnestra.

In Latin the twins are also known as the Gemini (literally "twins") or Castores, as well as the Tyndaridae or Tyndarids. Pollux asked Zeus to let him share his own immortality with his twin to keep them together, and they were transformed into the constellation Gemini.

Dreamzzz review & Theory

I finished Dreamzzz and I’m so conflicted, I had a gigantic theory that I would like to talk about because the ending of the season was NOT what I was expecting, wasn’t bad but my theory had me in a chokehold - Dreamzzz spoilers ahead.

I liked it, but I didn’t love it, I did however LOVE the creative design that went behind everything,

Turtle taco truck, gator cars, ALBERT, shark boat, lumina’s castle looking like a space shuttle, the weapon on the top of the castle, ALBERT, the fact that Mr.Oswald was wearing the astronaut symbol from the 1984 minifig, Zian’s design, ALBERT’S SOUTHERN ACCENT, Night Hunter sway walk + chain sound effects, Logan’s outfit is cool as ice.

My issues: the story was hard to focus on at times, they had some fill in moments that were too long, also random pauses that went on for too long? They would say something and then stand there longer than necessary, characters had this issue of being great in one episode then problematic in the literal beginning of the next episode. Logan would randomly switch up a lot in the beginning episodes, being nice then a douche bag. Then he was nice for 7 episodes only to be upset he has to help Izzie in the maze so she doesn’t get seriously hurt by the night terrors.

I also did not like Filippo’s face, the stained glass look was an awesome design but the creepy lion face will haunt me.

NOW FOR MY THEORY. LUNIA AND HUNTER ARE ZOEY’S PARENTS.

Here was my fueling for all of this that never happened but still could (season 2 hear me out)

I mean look at this, I can totally see this as a family, also convenient Lunia is missing and so is her mom. Not to mention her dad is also missing, meanwhile the Night Hunter said he couldn’t return to the waking world until he conjured up Lunia’s hourglass.

Also I’d like to point out that her father’s hairpiece looks very similar to Hunter of the angle was right.

I had a gigantic theory that Zoey’s parents were Lunia and Hunter, that the end would be a gigantic reveal, parent vs parent, Nightmare King orchestrating the fight. Zoey would go to find Lunia, find her at her castle weakened or context, Find out that’s her MOM. Then the Nightmare King shows up on the boat to attack the place, Lunia recognizes Night Hunter, says his real name, which makes Zoey go: Mom… DAD?!

And the Nightmare King laughs about it, loving the idea of breaking up a family in the process, Hunter is reluctant and wide eyed as he doesn’t want to fight.

My theory started as her mother was attacked by the nightmare king and while trying to fight him off with Hunter, she was defeated and he was corrupted, forgetting who his family was. Or perhaps he known and just held it over Zoey’s head with the teasing “Kiddo” and helping her at one point by misfiring his arrow. You know, like an evil dad who doesn’t want his daughter to win, but also doesn’t want her hurt.

I think the reason he’s all bundled up isn’t just secrecy for Mateo, but also so Zoey doesn’t recognize him. I think he ran away from home in the waking world too when he turned on Lunia and helped the Nightmare King be free.

But yeah, I still have the theory that they are her parents, at least Hunter is her dad, it would have been such an interesting twist. Oh well, show was cute, I have a character I’m making for it.

Ercole combatte contro Thanatos per liberare Alcesti Hercules fights Thanatos to free Alcestis

This oil painting was created by an outstanding Italian artist Filippo Pelagio Palagi (1775 - 1860) who was especially fascinated by Etruscan, Roman, Egyptian, and Greek Antiquity. Unfortunately, the precise year of creation remains unknown.

The motif that inspired this painting is a narrative within Greek mythology that speaks on Alcestis, a wife of king Admetus, who loved her husband enough to offer herself to Death when his time comes. Hercules, enraged, fights Thanatos to save the woman's soul.

This specific version of the myth is told by Euripides in his Alcestis.

History of tarot

Modern tarot decks as we know them were created in Northern Italy in the 1420s and were originally a card game called Trionfi or Trumps though all the earliest references to tarot all date to the 1440s and 1450s though the game itself originated in Germany known as Karnöffel. The word tarot started being used around the late 15th and early 16th centuries.

The oldest tarot deck I could find being the ‘Visconti-Sforza Tarot’ created in 1425 most likely by painter Bonifacio Bembo. The cards were oil painted on heavy paper and also had gold and silver. Only 35 cards remain today and was commissioned by Duke of Milan Filippo Visconti and his son-in-law Francesco Sforza.

[Image id: 3 cards from the Visconti-Sforza Tarot deck]

Soon after the same family commissioned another deck called the ‘Visconti Tarot’ and is dated back to 1428-1447. The deck is similar to the first with 69 [nice] cards remaining that now reside at Yale University’s Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library. Also each suit has a female night and valet [page] in addition to the male ones. This has caused people to suggest that this deck was made for a woman or women of the court. these cards also include the three Theological Virtues: faith, hope and charity.

[Image id: 3 cards from the Visconti Tarot deck]

Other old tarot decks are ‘The Charles VI Tarot’ which was though to have been commissioned in 1392 by King Charles VI though this is not the case and most likely originated in Northern Italy somewhere in the 1400s.

‘The Sola Busca Tarot’ is the oldest know complete tarot set dating back to 1490 in Italy and created by metal engravings with some hand painted. The completed painted deck is in the Brera Museum in Milan, Italy and 35 unpainted cards are located in various museums around Europe. The deck is also illustrated with historical and mythological figures from ancient Rome.

‘The Tarot de Marseille’ isn’t a specific deck but a style of tarot that is thought to originate from 1500s Italy and then migrated to southern France after the French conquered Milan in 1499 where it became popular, the original artist unknown. These cards were woodblock print sometimes colored by hand or by stencil.

The 18th century

The first record of tarot being used for divination [that I could find] dates back to a book called ‘Le Monde Primitif’ by Antoine Court de Gebelin published in 1781. In the book he claimed the symbolism in tarot was from esoteric secrets of Egyptian priests. He also claimed that ancient occult knowledge had been carried to Rome and revealed to the Catholic Church and the popes, who desperately wanted to keep this arcane knowledge secret. He also writes about how the art of tarot connects to various Egyptian gods in the chapter on tarot meanings. There is no historical evidence to back up these claims.

The first tarot deck designed specifically for divinatory purposes was released in 1791 by Jean-Baptiste Alliette, a French occultist. He also released his own book on using tarot for divination called ‘Book of Thoth Etteilla Tarot'.

The Rider Waite tarot

The Raider Wait tarot was created by Arthur Wait, Aleister Crowley and artist Pamela Colman Smith who were all involved in the Order of the Golden Dawn which was a secret society for the study of the occult and metaphysics found in London in 1888.

The Rider Wait deck’s art is inspired by the Sola Busca deck and uses heavy Kabbalistic symbolism. Pamela Colman was the first artist to use characters as representative images in the lower cards instead of showing a cluster of ups, coins, wands or swords.

Scents that make you think of Florida? You mentioned FL in your tags once c:

i spent some years in florida :-)

when i think of florida, i always think of the metallic heavy rain smell that seemed to always be in the air. it rained a LOT. i mean sure it got sunny and hot but even then it was also humid and it would rain at the blink of an eye in the middle of july. so much rain. so much humidity.

and i also think of damp earth...i used to go mudding with friends there. and sometimes the apartments parking lot would flood with so much water that it was deep enough to swim in and my friend would bring his kayak over and we would kayak around in the apartment parking lot. so lots of rainy, earthy, damp muddy smells

pioggia moderta by filippo sorcenelli

very damp, almost moldy fragrance. it's got heavy marine notes that are reminiscent of rain in the middle of the florida forests i ran around in

the lobster by moth and rabbit

a very crisp fresh green that settles into a moody, salty, mossy fragrance. a bit complex and not for everyone, but a good representation of florida to me - a little salty, a little mossy, plenty of green

bohemian lime by goldfield & banks

so if i think about florida outside of the damp, rainy, earthy side of it, i think of summer. and citrus fragrances are the absolute king of summer. i'm pretty sure a majority of people around me who wore deodorant or any sort of fragrance would use some sort of citrus-heavy one.

bohemian lime is a very good citrusy lime-based fragrance that i would absolutely wear if i still lived in florida. it's clean, fresh, and perfect for a day in the florida sun

"Filippo {Brunelleschi} was not the first person to survey the ruins of Rome. As early as 1375 Giovanni de' Dondi, the famous clockmaker, measured the obelisk of St. Peter's, a process that he described in his book Roman Journey. But the knowledge that Filippo sought to uncover was unique. In calculating the proportions of columns and pediments he determined the measurements specific to the three architectural orders (Doric, Ionic and Corinthian) that had been invented by the Greeks and then imitated and refined by the Romans. These orders were governed by precise mathematical ratios, a series of proportional rules that regulated aesthetic effect. The height of the Corinthian entablature, for example, is a quarter of the height of the columns on which it stands, while the height of each column is ten times its diameter, and so forth. Numerous examples of these orders existed in Rome in the early 1400s. The Columns in the Baths of Diocletian are Doric, for instance, while those at the Temple of Fortuna Virilis feature the Ionic, and the portico of the Pantheon the Corinthian. The Colosseum makes use of all three: Doric on the lowest level, Ionic on the second, and Corinthian at the top."

Happy Three King Day!

Many Christmas carols make mention of the three kings, who follow a star and come to pay homage to the baby Jesus in Bethlehem. They are called “The Three Wise Men from the East.” At many courts in the east, including ancient Babylon and Persia, learned astrologers often served as priestly advisers and practised the art of magic.

In the centuries since the three magi have been interpreted as kings. Through the centuries, paintings have shown as many as eight kings. The Western tradition of three kings most likely arose from three gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh that they brought to the 'newborn King.'

Every year, on January 6th, a solemn procession inspired by Benozzo Gozzoli's celebrated fresco in the Chapel of the Magi in Palazzo Medici Riccardi winds its way through the ancient streets of the city centre to celebrate the feast which recalls the journey made by the Magi to pay homage to the Infant.

Procession of the Youngest King

or Corteo dei Magi, Benozzo Gozzoli, Palazzo Medici Riccardi, Cappella dei Magi, Corteo con Lorenzo, Piero e Giovanni de' Medici. Florence, Italy.

The Chapel of the Magi

The Chapel of the Magi (Cappella dei Magi) is a treasure chest located on the first floor, the heart of the palace. It was designed by Michelozzo and consists of a square-plan space with a recess slightly raised above the floor to accommodate the altar.

It could be accessed via two entrances: a private entrance for the family, and a public entrance for guests. The gilded wooden ceiling, finely carved by Pagno di Lapo, seems to reflect on the precious floor in polychrome marble.

The walls were frescoed by Benozzo Gozzoli from 1459 onwards: the images depict the journey of the Magi towards Christ Child, who is in the foreground of the altarpiece painted by artists belonging to Filippo Lippi’s workshop. Starting from the wall to the east, the parade is headed by Caspar (in a white tunic), the youngest Magus Caspar (possibly a idealised young Lorenzo il Magnifico) at East wall at the Magi followed by Balthazar (in a green tunic) on the south wall, and by Melchior (in a red tunic) on the wall to the west.

The astonishing richness of details and ornaments is complemented by an accurate depiction of the landscape and characters of the time who join the holy parade: You will notice Cosimo and Piero de Medici, the young Lorenzo and Giuliano, Gian Galeazzo Sforza, Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta, and Pope Pius II (born Enea Silvio Piccolomini).

The procession inspired by Benozzo Gozzoli is an event instituted to tie in with the celebrations for the seventh centenary of the laying of the cathedral's foundation stone and the foundation of the Opera itself, reviving an ancient and glorious Florentine tradition from the 15thcentury by staging a historical cavalcade under the auspices of the Archdiocese and Cathedral Chapter in conjunction with the city authorities and with the participation of towns and villages in the province of Florence.
