De tous les dons du ciel c’est le cadeau du plus offrant.

Ma femme elle est trop belle regarde sa peau couleur safran.

[…]

Si le monde était beauté, tu vivrais sous son règne.

Son parfum est une ivresse qui te rend soûl l’ami,

Elle est classe comme une n*** et dangereuse comme un tsunami.

Indépendante est ma femme, l’intelligence incarnée.

C’est la reine de Saba, c’est Cléopâtre réincarnée.

Ma femme c’est de la foudre, l’orage, les cataclysmes.

C’est ta foi, ta religion, l’abjuration des hommes d’églises.

[…]

Elle est belle comme le pêché, une séquelle, un vrai scandale.

Je suis le prêtre avec les clefs du temple et je deviens vandale.

[…]

Comment Gaël Faye peut-il te décrire avec une telle précision ? C’est à se demander si il t’a déjà rencontré.

Creature Commandos and the (Quiet) Birth of the DCU

Well, here we are. Over two years since James Gunn and Peter Safran were announced as helming the latest iterations of big-screen DC Comics continuity, the first project in the fledgling DC Universe (DCU) has arrived. That said, Creature Commandos isn’t the cape-donning, superheroic debut many might expect. Instead we’ve got a smaller but no less entertaining animated TV show to kick things…

MA PREMIÈRE SORTIE 

De manière un peu inattendue nous nous sommes retrouvées à trois à faire une sortie de Mattindia, mes compagnes d’échappé se nomment Claire et Jade, des françaises de Narbonne. Première fois pour moi que cette sortie en taxi vers le musée d’histoire du Kerala, une deuxième étape : le Palace Montains et un temple hindou Agasthia 

Yiddishs le taxi-man, parle bien l’anglais et connaît très bien sa région. Il nous sera un guide précieux, double fonction qu’occupent souvent les chauffeurs de taxi. 

Le musée qui finalement a surtout à montrer les divinités et un certain nombres d’accessoires.  Il a une curiosité au deuxième étage. ça ressemble un peu à la caverne d’Alibaba, le musée vend des pièces anciennes. 

Claire fond pour une Tara, la même que celle que j’ai dans ma chambre, en plus grande. Tara est la déesse de la compassion, elle représente le féminin de Shiva. Sans elle pas de Shiva. 

En nanas, deux heures se sont écoulées sans même s’en rendre nt compte. Le taxi patient nous attend. Au retour il nous signale quand même qu’on ne pourra visiter l’intérieur du palais qu’il faudra se contenter des jardins. 

Après ces deux heures confinées à l’intérieur, la visite des jardins nous convient parfaitement. 

Avec mes deux camarades nous sommes très vite trouvées, pas de chichis, généreuses, aimant l’échange « On était raccord » comme on dit. C’était très agréable. 

Une grande bâtisse blanche en haut d’une colline, de grands escaliers mènent au palais, les jardins sont de part et d’autres. De nombreuses familles indiennes sont là, elles se prennent en photo. A deux reprises je propose de prendre la photo. Une des familles nous la retrouverons au temple. 

Le palais est l’ancien centre administratif de Maharadjah. Maintenant il propose une collection de vêtements armes et bizarrement de vélos 

Un petit arrêt dans mon premier café indien et découvert ce qu’ils appellent le Chai, offert par Claire. 

Puis ce fut la traversée de la ville, dans ce que j’ai vu, le plus grand chaos circulatoire. De partout, ça surgit, ça frêne, ça débit bien sûr ça klaxonne. Je filmais ébahie c’était comme dans les films. 

A l’arrivée le guide nous prévient : c’est sans chaussures. Je rechigne on est sur un parking de terre et de pierres. Il est intraitable : non c’est comme ça. 

Les temples hindous de la région ne sont pas les beaux temples sculptés ou empilés des autres parties de l’Inde que l’on trouvera pas exemple en masse dans le Tamil Nadu. Ici c’est comme un énorme marché couvert décoré. 

Tout en ayant au cœur du lieu un vrai temple, sorte de maison chinoise et là c’est très beau. Mais n’étant pas hindou nous n’avons pas le droit d’y rentrer. Mais il y a une fenêtre ouverte où l’on voit les pièces qui se succèdent en enfilade pour arriver à la divinité Amma. Les pénitents femmes et hommes passent par des portes sculptées qui sont en or. Précision les hommes se présentent dans le temple torse nu. 

J’ai avec mes camarades pu allumer une mèche posée dans une petite coupelle d’huile avec une prière. Un homme est là qui veille au mur de lumière. On dirait un sage indien, grande barbe blanche, sari jaune safran. Le guide nous explique qu’il est sans bien été qu’il est nourri par les dons fait au temple. 

C’était un moment très fort pour nous trois. 

Autre curiosité : une énorme balance 

Je demande : à quoi ça sert ? 

Quand il y a une demande de guérison on se pose d’un côté de l’autre l’équivalent en riz, papaye, oranges… quand la balance trouve l’équilibre, l’offrande est prête.  Elle est remise au temple. 

Il y en aurait encore beaucoup à raconter sur cette escapade du jour mais justement le jour ici tombe et le dîner sera bientôt servi. 

Ce soir les tambours donnent du son. Il y la fête sur la rive en face. C’est un peu la brousse africaine.

Supergirl Soars in Summer 2026!

Okay DCU fans! Get ready for the Girl of Steel! "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" is soaring into theaters on June 26th, 2026, marking the second film from the all-new DC Studios led by James Gunn and Peter Safran. Mark your calendars, because this ain't your typical Supergirl story! This summer blockbuster is based on the 2022 comic book series of the same name. The series is written by comics writer Tom King and brought to life by artist Bilquis Evely. We're trading in the bright tights and cheery persona for a more hard-edged Supergirl, played by the talented Milly Alcock, who stole hearts in "House of the Dragon." Supergirl's Road to Release So, what makes this Supergirl different? According to James Gunn himself, it all boils down to upbringing. Unlike Superman, who landed on Earth as a baby and was raised by loving parents, Supergirl's experience was a lot tougher. Imagine growing up on a harsh alien world, witnessing death and destruction around you. Yeah, that'll put a different spin on things. Gunn describes this Supergirl as "hardcore" and a far cry from the cheery hero we're used to seeing. This grittier take on the character is sure to be a breath of fresh air for comic book fans. And with Milly Alcock in the lead role, we can expect a powerful and nuanced performance. Alcock will actually appear in another DC project before taking flight as Supergirl on the big screen, so keep an eye out for that! This isn't the first time Supergirl has graced the silver screen. Back in 1984, Helen Slater donned the cape for a more classic portrayal of the character. While that film has a certain nostalgia factor, "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" promises a bold new direction for the iconic heroine. This upcoming film marks the second project from the newly formed DC Studios. The first? A Superman movie directed by James Gunn himself, hitting theaters in July 2025. It's clear that Gunn and Safran have a vision for the DC Universe, and "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" is a big part of that. So, are you ready for a Supergirl who's seen the dark side? This promises to be an epic adventure that will redefine the Girl of Steel for a whole new generation. Mark your calendars and get ready to soar alongside Supergirl in June 2026! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxTfczQ-pGM Read the full article

The Overdue but Perfect Response to the Outrage of the Minority

by Don Hall

It doesn’t seem to take much to uphold Charlie Cox’s good-guy reputation, and when Digital Spy asked Cox what he made of people getting upset over the “walk of shame” that Daredevil did the morning after having a really great night with She-Hulk, he said, very kindly, “If She-Hulk’s not your thing, then don’t watch it. Watch something else.”

SOURCE

James Gunn has issued a statement addressing fan concerns over the direction of the DC Universe after the announcement of Henry Cavill’s exit as Superman and the harassment he and co-head Peter Safran have received online.

“One of the things Peter & I were aware of when we took the job as heads of DC Studios was a certain minority of people online that could be, well, uproarious & unkind, to say the least. Our choices for the DCU are based upon what we believe is best for the story & best for the DC characters who have been around for nearly 85 years. Perhaps these choices are great, perhaps not, but they are made with sincere hearts & integrity & always with the story in mind,” Gunn explained.

“No one loves to be harassed or called names — but, to be frank, we’ve been through significantly worse. Disrespectful outcry will never, ever affect our actions."

SOURCE

The term minority tends to mean in the minds of most people non-white people. That's reasonable given how the word is used but it's also a misdirect. Minority is simply that part of any group that is a smaller section of the whole than the majority. Globally, we're all the minority in comparison to the Chinese population. Men, when it comes to college admissions, are in the minority in comparison to women. Both the extreme Left and Right politically are in the minority in comparison to Exhausted Center.

Based strictly on numbers, those who hate the MCU are in the minority as are those who use Twitter and have their toilet paper pull from under the roll. Bidet users? Minority. Vegans? Minority. People who bought one of those Trump NFTs? Stupid minority. And, you know, there's no "I" in stupid.

As much as the debacle of Kevin McCarthy struggling to become Speaker of the House was a pleasure to view, he was up against the outrage of the minority within his party.

From Yahoo News:

"With a narrowly divided chamber, 222-to-212, the new speaker has shown the far-right wing of his caucus that they can get their way through obstruction �� a recipe for nonstop hostage-taking by small factions going forward.

The problem for Congress, however, is that McCarthy will probably have to continue prostrating himself in order to keep his new job. Why? Because in the process of winning their votes, he awarded his captors nearly every demand on their wishlist — empowering them to continue to obstruct business whenever it suits their purposes."

The conundrum lies in the fact that we love it when our minority voices obstruct their majority but can't seem to be able to stand it when their minority is afforded the same. We talk a lot about gridlock and a dysfunctional Congress but we have to grasp that the gridlock part of the equation is the very intent of the Constitutional framers. Laws that are easy to pass cannot possibly be pragmatic or enforceable to an entire country comprised of individuals maintaining their often false belief in their own autonomy. It's supposed to be contentious.

It is not supposed to be dysfunctional. Allowing the minority to make unreasoning demands and granting them time and time again creates dysfunction and really bad governance (regardless of which ideological yard you play in). Accepting petty, shallow, outraged behavior and capitulating to it encourages more of it resulting in an era where screaming and throwing a tantrum on a plane can result in the plane being rerouted and punishing the entire flight. Pretending that civil disobedience is simply destroying the counter of a Burger King because you did not, in fact, get to have it your way emboldens the childish tendency in all of us.

The balance lies in being able to distinguish the difference between a genuine issue and a tantrum. Here's a clue: if the minority is screaming and crying, claiming obvious distortions of harm and violence where there are none, destroying things to get attention, and behaving like an angry child? Tantrum.

When you reward the tantrums, you are guaranteed to be subjected to more tantrums. If you reasonably say "Disrespectful outcry will never, ever affect our actions," you set the stage for grownup discourse. Kevin McCarthy will wish he had not conceded to the tantrums of the minority in days to come.

Henry Cavill's DCU Exit Opens Him Up For A Perfect MCU Role

Henry Cavill’s DCU Exit Opens Him Up For A Perfect MCU Role

Henry Cavill‘s exit from his DCU Superman role is the perfect opportunity for his MCU debut as a multiversal hero. Despite its ideal casting choices, comic-accurate costume designs, and potential-filled stories, Warner Bros.’ cinematic universe, the DCEU, will go through a major reboot under James Gunn and Peter Safran’s rule. Therefore, Superman actor Henry Cavill will no longer don the cape in…

Consigli di libri da portare in viaggio:

per la Grecia Zorba il greco di Nikos Kazantzakis, un classico contemporaneo filosofico ambientato a Creta. Come guida atipica è molto bello Nelle terre del mito. Viaggiare in Grecia con dèi, eroi e poeti scritto da Dario Del Corno.

A Parigi è molto bello leggere Festa mobile, autobiografia romanzata di Ernest Hemingway, perché immerge nella onirica Parigi bohémien degli anni Venti, che tra bevute, oppio, jazz e corse ai cavalli era una vera festa in continuo movimento. A Parigi si può viaggiare nel tempo della Rivoluzione francese con il libro Citadini, cronaca della Rivoluzione francese di Simon Schama.

Anche a Londra si possono fare mille viaggi letterari, uno interessante e forse meno scontato è quello tra le pagine della graphic novel From Hell di Alan Moore, nella Londra dell’Ottocento sulle orme di Jack Lo Squartatore. 

La guida migliore della Spagna rimane il buon vecchio Don Chisciotte di Cervantes. Ogni paese ha un classico in cui si riconosce: in Italia c’è Dante, in Germania Goethe, in Francia Proust, in Inghilterra Dickens, invece in Spagna hanno Cervantes.

Per l’Europa dell’Est c’è Ogni cosa è illuminata di Jonathan Safran Foer in cui l’autore si mette alla ricerca dei suoi antenati in Ucraina. In Russia è divertente ritrovare i luoghi di Anna Karenina descritti da Tolstoj e immaginarsi per strada in compagnia di Aleksej, Stapan, Dolly e Kitty. 

L’America è raccontata da tantissimi libri. Per New York mi limito a suggerire Le mille luci di New York di Jay McInerney e la Trilogia di New York di Paul Auster. Per la West Coast il noir Il grande sonno di Raymnd Chandler, ambientato nella San Francisco più oscura, assieme ai deliranti romanzi di Charles Bukowski a Los Angeles. Lo spirito del viaggio e della letteratura on the road per eccellenza lo si trova ovviamente nel libro culto di Jack Kerouac Sulla strada, che è stato definito “il profilo dell’America disegnato con le ruote di una Cadillac”.

“One part that the Gunn-Safran agenda seems likely not to touch, at least for now, is the Matt Reeves Batman universe in which Robert Pattinson dons the cowl of the Caped Crusader. Reeves is writing the sequel to The Batman, which opened in March 4. The filmmaker is also overseeing the launch of two Batman series that spin out of his movie, including The Penguin”
