Arriva una notizia alquanto strana dagli Stati Uniti: dopo neanche una settimana di programmazione, Warner Bros ha deciso di togliere dalle sale "Giurato numero 2", nuovo film di Clint Eastwood.

Già in fase di lancio si era capito che qualcosa stesse andando non proprio per il verso giusto, dato che negli Stati Uniti era stata programmata una distribuzione limitata in 50 sale (in totale!) e senza che poi si potesse conoscere l'effettivo andamento al box-office.

Il film da noi deve ancora arrivare, dato che uscirà al cinema il 14 novembre, ma adesso tocca pregare che anche da noi non riceva lo stesso, INSPIEGABILE, trattamento.

Del resto stiamo parlando di Clint Eastwood, non dell'ultimo degli scemi. Non riesco davvero a comprendere quali problemi possano aver portato a queste scelte drastiche.

Buon inizio di settimana a tutti voi ❤️ Freddie Mercury ❤️

George Frederic Watts, (February 23, 1817 – July 1, 1904) was an English Victorian painter and sculptor associated with the Symbolist movement. He said "I paint ideas, not things." Watts became famous in his lifetime for his allegorical works, such as Hope and Love and Life. These paintings were intended to form part of an epic symbolic cycle called the "House of Life", in which the emotions and aspirations of life would all be represented in a universal symbolic language.
Watts was born in Marylebone, London on the birthday of George Frederic Handel (after whom he was named), to the second wife of a poor piano-maker. Delicate in health and with his mother dying while he was still young, he was home-schooled by his father in a conservative interpretation of Christianity as well as via the classics such as the Iliad. The former put him off conventional religion for life, while the latter was a continual influence on his art. He showed artistic promise very early, learning sculpture from the age of 10 with William Behnes, starting to devotedly study the Elgin Marbles (later writing "It was from them alone that I learned") and then enrolling as a student at the Royal Academy at the age of 18. He first exhibited at the Academy in 1837. He also began his portraiture career, receiving patronage from his close contemporary Alexander Constantine Ionides, who later came to be a close friend.
