Graphics for Avatars
(New “Love Me” Trailer)

Filed under: General — Tags: , , — m759 @ 1:01 am

"The upcoming film Love Me  has an intriguing concept.
In a post-apocalyptic world in which humans have gone extinct,
a buoy falls in love with a satellite. To be together, they review
historical accounts of humanity and create avatars of themselves,
played by Steven Yeun and Kristen Stewart."

Die Verhexung

Filed under: General — Tags: , — m759 @ 11:49 pm

Lester del Rey, Pstalemate , 1971 —

"Distilled from her frantically escaped mind,
the words still drew her back, let her relax
to some-thing that would be almost sleep
in the living. She could no longer find
the way out when her mind was tense.
Once the whole world was open at all times,
but now there was only the single tunnel
to the Boy, and she could not reach that until
everything else was blanked from her mind
and she could draw help from the symbol
she had planted."

Song lyric —"Let's hear it for the Buoy !"

A Broader Context: The Urnfield Culture

Filed under: General — Tags: , , — m759 @ 4:32 pm

"In a broader context, the subalpine Golasecca culture
is the very last expression of the Middle European
Urnfield culture of the European Bronze Age. The culture's
richest flowering was Golasecca II, in the first half of the
6th to early 5th centuries BC. It lasted until it was
overwhelmed by the Gaulish Celts in the 4th century BC
and was finally incorporated into the hegemony of the
Roman Republic."
