Kilroy's Film Fest -- Newest Arrivals
|
G'Day All --
Kilroy's On-Line Classic Film Festival continues to grow, with several entertaining additions.
Included among the nine Newest Arrivals is (IMHO) one of the most hilarious productions of all time, "The Horse's Mouth," about an eccentric old artist named Gully Jimson, who lives on a decrepit houseboat on the Thames River in London, starring Alec Guinness.
http://www.angelfire.com/ca5/yourturf3/KilroysFilmFest.htm
I've received a few admonitions from folks who insist that anyone "seriously interested" in watching any of these films would buy the DVDs and view them on their big-screen televisions. My reply is, "By all means, do so."
On the other hand, the Film Festival web page has received several thousand hits, so it seems to interest some folks -- even if only for purposes of sampling the "merchandise" before acquiring the DVDs.
Enjoy the on-line material whenever it suits your convenience, and forward the site to any of your friends who might like to do the same.
Remember -- whether you watch on-line, or on a TV screen in your house, you are still most welcome to post comments about your favorite films on Kilroy's Movie Buffs' and Film Critics' Forum, that you can access from the link near the bottom of the above web page, or directly at:
http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/KilroysMovieBuffsForum/
I hope the above material will be of interest. If you have questions or comments, please let me know.

Obama's Speech in Cairo: a new beginning ?
|
Hi everyone !
I wanted to post a blog about the Obama's Speech in Cairo (Egypt) since it was an important event for the Muslim world, the USA and the world in general.
For those who have not had the chance to read the full text of the speech or listen to it, here are some useful links:
To read the full text of the speech, visit: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/04/us/politics/04obama.text.html
For a complete video, visit: http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/06/04/full-video-of-obamas-cairo-speech/
http://www.kansascity.com/105/story/1234919.html
“Less than six months ago, Arabs threw shoes at George Bush. Today, in a address bound to go down in history, President Obama was unexpectedly greeted by a standing ovation in the heart of the Arab-Muslim world.
In a towering speech before 4,000 Egyptians in the Grand Hall of Cairo University, and to another 1.4 billion Muslims world-wide, the President was interrupted 30 times by applause and people shouting, “we love you”.
President Obama also noted Islam's historical relationship with the United States:
"I also know that Islam has always been a part of America's story. The first nation to recognize my country was Morocco. In signing the Treaty of Tripoli in 1796, our second President, John Adams, wrote, "The United States has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Muslims."
***
"That experience guides my conviction that partnership between America and Islam must be based on what Islam is, not what it isn't. And I consider it part of my responsibility as President of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear."
Source of the picture and text:
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/6/4/738719/-Masterpiece
I think that if we, as citizens of the world and youth activitists, want to ensure a better future for ourselves and the future generations, we have to cooperate and to help each other in order to solve the global problems and issues that we face: climate change, poverty, HIV, ...
«When there is a will, there is a way». Let this be the credo for the 21st Century.
All the best,

Kilroy's On-Line Classic Film Festival -- A Follow-Up
|
G'Day All --
This is a brief follow-up to yesterday's post about Kilroy's On-Line Classic Film Festival.
As you know, the Festival's play list is composed mostly of older movies. Very few newer and perhaps more spectacular films are available on-line, due to copyright limitations. Nevertheless, hopefully, you will be able to find a few items in the current line-up that are enjoyable to watch.
While surfing through the 'Net, if you come across additional audiovisual presentations that are entertaining, interesting, and/or informative, please send me a note, so they can be considered for inclusion in the play list.
While visiting the Film Festival's site, please don't overlook the additional invitation near the bottom of the page to join Kilroy's Movie Buffs' and Film Critics' Forum. If you would enjoy sharing your thoughts and opinions about any of the Film Fest's features (as well as any other movies that have excited your interest), you will be most welcome to do so.
I hope this follow-up information will be useful. If you have questions or I can be of further assistance, please let me know.

Art Against Consumerism
|
At our most recent ICA Canada event, our 2009 Annual General Meeting, we had a series of very interesting presentations including ones focused on the Young Community Leaders Project and the Courage to Lead Program, as well as a live feed from Africa to hear about how the evaluation of Listen to the Drumming's Il Ngwesi program is going.
But the presentation that seemed to generate the most discussion and interest was one given by Ilona Staples on Art Against Consumerism. The presentation walked us through the origins of consumerism, what sustains it, how media plays a role and how artists are attacking consumerism through creative use of any and all mediums.
The presentation, thoughtful,engaging and comprehensive, gave us all something to consider in terms of the evolution of consumerism our own role in the propagation of consumerist culture.
The presentation is definitely one worth taking a look. Here is the link:

Happy Saint Patrick's Day !!
|
G'Day All --
This year's greeting is introduced by a cute film clip -- (well, anyway, I thought it was cute) -- entitled "Give Up Yer Aul Sins," summarizing the story of Saint Patrick as a Young Boy, as recited by -- (of course) -- Mary:
http://www.angelfire.com/ca5/yourturf3/TCAFUSaintPatricks.htm
Don't forget to try the Saint Patty's Day Musical Fiesta ("Viva Celtic") Music Station, at:
http://www.angelfire.com/ca5/yourturf3/TCAFUSaintPatricks.htm#Station
(But please note: At this particular time of year, SoundClick's Irish music tracks become so jammed with hits that you may find some of them inaccessible. Try again in a few days, and they will probably be working nicely.)
... and sample the additional film clips of Kilroy's Saint Patrick Kaleidoscope:
http://www.angelfire.com/ca5/yourturf3/TCAFUSaintPatricks.htm#Kegs
Otherwise, you'll see that this year's greeting looks pretty similar last year's.
Hope you enjoy it !!

Participez au Défi Climat 2009 !
About this category: Environment
|
La lutte aux changements climatiques se poursuit et nous devons faire vite!
Du 10 mars au 24 avril 2009, comme des milliers de citoyens et de citoyennes des régions de Québec et de Montréal, engagez-vous à réduire vos émissions de gaz à effet de serre en participant au Défi Climat. Un effort essentiel pour la survie de la planète et des générations futures.
SOURCE: http://www.deficlimat.qc.ca/deficlimat/
INSCRIVEZ-VOUS SUR LE SITE: http://www.deficlimat.qc.ca/deficlimat/
VOUS POUVEZ AUSSI GAGNER DES PRIX, APPRENDRE DAVANTAGE SUR LES ENJEUX ENVIRONNEMENTAUX, S'INSCRIRE OU ENCORE INSCRIRE VOTRE ORGANISATION SUR LE SITE.
Pourquoi relever le Défi Climat?
pour faire sa part pour l’environnement;
pour participer au mouvement pour une société plus durable;
pour réduire sa consommation d’énergie;
pour respecter les générations futures;
pour améliorer sa qualité de vie;
pour gagner des prix!
Le saviez-vous ?
Si chaque habitant de la région de Montréal prenait les transports en commun une fois par semaine pour se rendre au travail; cela équivaudrait à retirer 118 000 voitures de la circulation;
Si ces citoyens s’engageaient également à recycler, à composter, à réduire leur consommation de viande, à se procurer des thermostats électroniques programmables et à remplacer deux déplacements interurbains par des téléconférences, cela équivaudrait à réduire leurs GES de plus d’une tonne par personne, l’équivalent du retrait de 875 000 voitures de nos routes.
