The starship Enterprise boldly goes where no man has gone before.

The Tesla stock price has fallen off too.

Should investors buy Henkel shares instead? They manufacture Loctite super glue!

I found a woman Elon Muskrat could get along with: robot Ava from "Ex Machina".

The Donald really needs to shut up about Canada.

Closing the series on Remo Anzovino with Frida Kahlo.

("Yo Me Pinto" means "I paint myself" and Frida Kahlo certainly did that.)

Remo Anzovino's soundtrack for the Claude Monet documentary "The Magic of Water and Light".

Remo Anzovino's soundtrack for the Paul Gauguin documentary "Gauguin in Tahiti".

Remo Anzovino also composed a canción for Frida Kahlo - what did you expect?

(Vida, mundo and sueño are key words - again totally expected.)

[ivovynckier]

Remo Anzovino's soundtrack for the Frida Kahlo documentary "Viva La Vida".

[ivovynckier]

Remo Anzovino's soundtrack for the van Gogh documentary "Of Wheat Fields and Clouded Skies".

This must be the best deal I ever bought: five soundtracks in a box for the price of one.

I had never heard of the Italian (film) composer Remo Anzovino until I saw the brilliant documentary on Vincent van Gogh and noticed the elevating music - not that van Gogh’s art needs elevation.

These five fine movies on art were all created by documentarian Phil Grabsky’s company Seventh Art.

The fact that they hired a composer to write music for their art movies (published under the name “Exhibition on Screen”) shows the degree of dedication in their unprecedented series on art history.

Hooray for the series and the music!

Vladimir Putin needs one of those.

Portugal is a cofounder of NATO (1949).

Are you already tired of winning, MAGA boys?

Once more, we need to turn to Richard Nixon: would you buy a used Tesla from this Donald?

Shirley Bassey sang John Barry's Bond song for "Moonraker".

[ivovynckier]

An orchestral version of John Barry's main title for "Moonraker".

La-La Land Records keeps pumping out the goodies: they recently released a 2-CD expanded “Limited Edition” of John Barry’s soundtrack for the James Bond movie “Moonraker” (1979).

Barry is the musical genius - remember “Out of Africa”? - that created the James Bond music from scratch. Everybody with some familiarity with popular culture can recognise the sound after a few seconds. That should tell you enough.

Dame Shirley Bassey returns to agent 007 (after “Goldfinger” and “Diamonds Are Forever”) for the Bond song.

Did she unhook her bra to stretch her lungs to the max as she did when she sang “Goldfinger”? Alas, the booklet doesn’t tell...
