    Plot synopsis

    The Greek island is beautiful and the holiday idyllic… until James Barratt and his girlfriend Penny Ward are told about the chimera, a savage creature that should only exist in Greek mythology, but somehow is still alive in the foothills of the island. Sceptical, but curious, they set off for the hills, where they come face to face with a monstrous secret and find themselves in a desperate fight for survival against an enemy of inconceivable ferocity – an unholy trinity with multiple hearts of darkness that will not stop until they are both destroyed.


    Human (2015 film)

    Human is a 2015 documentary by French environmentalist Yann Arthus-Bertrand. The film is almost entirely composed of exclusive aerial footage and first-person stories told into the camera. It was the first movie to premiere in the General Assembly Hall of the United Nations, to an audience of 1,000 viewers, including U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.

    The film was financed by the Bettencourt Schueller Foundation, which gave it rights-free to the GoodPlanet Foundation, responsible for driving the project.

    Production

    Human was produced over a period of three years, with director Yann Arthus-Bertrand and a team of 20 persons interviewing more than 2000 people in 60 countries. The crew included 5 journalists and cameramen with a "fixer" in each location for organizing things and four people responsible for receiving and sorting the material. The aerial crew had 6 people including Arthus-Bertrand.

    Each person interviewed was asked the same set of forty questions and was presented on a plain black background without any musical score or any details about their identity and locale. Arthus-Bertrand hoped that removing personal identifiers would draw focus to our similarities, explaining that they "... wanted to concentrate on what we all share. If you put the name of a person, or what country they’re from, you don’t feel that as strongly".

    DIIV

    DIIV are an American rock band from Brooklyn, New York City, formed in 2011. The band consists of Zachary Cole Smith (vocals, guitar), Andrew Bailey (guitar), Devin Ruben Perez (bass), Colin Caulfield (keyboards, guitar) and Ben Newman (drums).

    Initially called Dive, the band started as Smith's solo recording project. After releasing three singles - "Sometime", "Human" and "Geist" - on Captured Tracks, DIIV released its debut full-length album, Oshin, on June 26, 2012.

    In 2016, the band released its second studio album, Is the Is Are, after a lengthy and troubled gestation period.

    History

    Oshin (2011–2013)

    Zachary Cole Smith (former touring guitarist of Soft Black,Darwin Deez, and Beach Fossils) started a solo project in 2011. Smith, who originally named the project Dive after the Nirvana song of the same name, put together a live band that included guitarist and childhood friend Andrew Bailey (like Smith, from Connecticut), bassist Devin Ruben Perez (from New York City), and drummer Colby Hewitt (from California and formerly of Smith Westerns). Smith explained to Pitchfork that "everybody in the band is a water sign, that's kind of why the name Dive really spoke to us all."

    "Escape!" is a science fiction short story by Isaac Asimov.

(Asimov's choice of title) in the collections I, Robot (1950) and The Complete Robot (1982).

    Plot summary

    Many research organizations are working to develop the hyperspatial drive. The company U.S. Robots and Mechanical Men, Inc., is approached by its biggest competitor that has plans for a working hyperspace engine that allows humans to survive the jump (a theme which would be further developed in future Asimov stories). But the staff of U.S. Robots is wary, because, in performing the calculations, their rival's (non-positronic) supercomputer has destroyed itself.

    The U.S. Robots and Mechanical Men company finds a way to feed the information to its own positronic computer known as The Brain (which is not a robot in the strictest sense of the word, since it doesn't move, although it does obey the Three Laws of Robotics), without the same thing happening. The Brain then directs the building of a hyperspace ship.

    Escape (1940 film)

    Escape is a 1940 drama film about an American in pre-World War II Nazi Germany who discovers his mother is in a concentration camp and tries desperately to free her. It starred Norma Shearer, Robert Taylor, Conrad Veidt and Alla Nazimova. It was adapted from the novel of the same name by Grace Zaring Stone.

    Plot

    Famous German stage actress Emmy Ritter (Alla Nazimova) is held in a Nazi concentration camp. She is scheduled to be executed soon, but the sympathetic camp doctor, Ditten (Philip Dorn), has been a fan since childhood and offers to deliver a letter from her to her children...afterwards.

    Emmy's son Mark Preysing (Robert Taylor), an American citizen, travels to Germany in search of his mother, but nobody, not even frightened old family friends, want anything to do with him. A German official tells Mark that she has been arrested and advises him to return to the United States.

    The postmark of a returned letter guides Mark to the region where she is being held. There, he meets by chance Countess Ruby von Treck (Norma Shearer), an American-born widow, but she also does not want to become involved, at least at first. Then, she asks her lover, General Kurt von Kolb (Conrad Veidt), about Emmy and learns that she has been judged a traitor in a secret trial and sentenced to death.

    The Myth

    by: Styles P

    [Intro]
    [Verse 1:]
    Cocaine Cowboys, Heroin Indians
    Drug dealer fly, which car to put the Fendi in
    I'm in a condo on a Louie couch
    New York fly nigga, California gooey out
    Mobster, know I got the tooly out
    Cops come, you don't even put the doobie out
    From the block, them niggas will make a movie out
    Everybody fly like they got gear from groovy house
    G'd up, know what you out for
    I get high riding out to the Outlawz
    Broke right hand, load the southpaw
    Get off the turnpike, different route ya
    How I know they sent a different scout ya
    Trying to figure out, how the cat got the mouse ya
    Trying to figure out, how the dog got the cat ya
    From the hood where they let it go blat! ya
    Weird science, simple math
    Take a cab wherever you got the rental at
    Check the spot wherever the connect sent you at
    Check the creditor, homie that fucking lent you that
    Word!
    [Verse 2:]
    Smoke break, at the table bagging up snowflakes
    9 mil at my waist, but I don't feel so safe
    Cause a lot of niggas is ghostface
    I mean two face, bitches get yo'food laced
    I don't stay in the spot unless the mood straight
    I rather be mad high in my new place
    Rather be mad high in my old place
    Wondering if the pearly gates is white like Colgate
    A lot of dollar bills, can't fold straight
    Cause the knot thick, told you that the plots thick
    You in the way, you gon' hear the Glock click
    God bless this ignorant and obnoxious
    [Verse 3:]
    European American, V's with the smoke tints
    Ten rack, black label suit with the smoke scent
    Meet the connect by the ocean
    I do my deals on the beach
    Up to my neck in the water, and it ain't sweet
    Cause trust is an issue
    The ice pick tip with the rust gon' hit you
    It cut through your tissue
    Cause you could go to jail, niggas'll act like they
    miss you
    It's only when they see you, when you gone they forget
    I fell in love with the money, and lust with the pistol
    Always hated the cops, they fuck when they get you
    I still "Kill Bill" I'll, monster from "300"
    Talking money to G's want it
    We roll up then we load up
    It's a cocaine deal or a hold up?
    I could care less about the set that you throws up
    [Verse 4:]
    Came from nothing, used to have nothing
    Now I'm somebody and I got a lil something
    Rich nigga, Ritz nigga
    You don't know this nigga
    I don't like snakes, I'll kill it if it hiss nigga
    Rat nigga, snitch nigga
    Rap nigga, fuck 'em all
    My posse over there tell your girl to go suck em off
    They say I'm underated, I just be getting faded
    Cause niggas'll have your name all on the affidavit
    I find it fascinating
    I know how to kill em all, holiday'll kill em off
    When ghost procrastinating
    You could see the holy ghost
    I stretch your flat
    And leave some herb in your pocket
    You could call that the holy smoke
    We ain't cut from the same cloth
    I'm the boss, we couldn't work for the same boss
    Point blank nigga, I would shoot your brains off
    In the spot, the manteca and the cane soft
    But you know that the bass hard
    Dealer death and there ain't no safe card
    That's Alchemist, this is Alchemy
    Sniper on the balcony, higher then the Falcon be
    It's a pack of wolves and you know I'm where the alpha
    Guns go north, but the drugs go south for me
    If anybody is out for me
    Better go the fuck in, cause I'm gonna go the fuck in
    New York fly, California high
    Miami hustle when I get up on a pie
    Down south lean, midwest bounce
