Tarzan's Magic Fountain (1949) was Lex Barker's first of five adventures as the Ape Man. He took over the role from a visibly tired and worn out Johnny Weissmuller, who had played Tarzan since 1932.

Playing Jane was actress Brenda Joyce, who took over the role when Maureen O'Sullivan decided to retire as Jane after 1942's Tarzan in New York.

Ironically, Tarzan's Magic Fountain was Joyce's last time in the role. She had only contracted with producer Sol Lesser for five films, after which she retired from acting to raise her children. Lex Barker ended up working with five different "Janes" during his run in the series.

The film was co-written by Curt Siodmak (The Wolfman and Donovan's Brain). It was directed by Lee Sholem, who in a few years would direct Superman and the Mole Men (1951), as well as several episodes of the Adventures of Superman television series.

Finally, the film featured a brief cameo by Elmo Lincoln, the original cinematic Tarzan from 1918's Tarzan of the Apes, as an old fisherman.

La Biblia en un año: Amós 7–9; Apocalipsis 8

… No me des pobreza ni riquezas; mantenme del pan necesario (v8)

Lee por favor: Proverbios 30:7-9

En la película El violinista en el tejado, Tevye le habla con sinceridad a Dios sobre su economía: «Hiciste a muchas, muchas personas pobres. Comprendo, por supuesto, que no es vergonzoso ser pobre. ¡Pero tampoco es un gran honor! Entonces, ¡¿qué tendría de malo si tuviera una gran fortuna?! […] ¿Se habría arruinado algún vasto plan eterno… si yo fuera un hombre rico?».

Muchos siglos antes de que el autor Sholem Aleichem pusiera estas sinceras palabras en la boca de Tevye, Agur elevó una oración a Dios igualmente sincera, aunque algo diferente, en el libro de Proverbios. Le pidió que no le diera ni pobreza ni riqueza; solo su «pan necesario» (30:8). Sabía que tener demasiado podría volverlo orgulloso y convertirlo en un ateo práctico, negando el carácter de Dios. Además, le pidió que no le permitiera volverse pobre, porque podría hacer que deshonrara a Dios, robándoles a otros (v. 9). Agur reconocía que Dios era su único proveedor, y le pidió solo lo suficiente para satisfacer sus necesidades diarias.

Que podamos tener la actitud de Agur, reconociendo a Dios como el proveedor de todo lo que tenemos. Y con una mayordomía financiera que honre su nombre, vivamos satisfechos delante de Aquel que no solo da lo suficiente, sino mucho más.

Así pues vivamos de tal manera que cada vez que pidamos a nuestro Señor Jesucristo, lo hagamos sabiamente, en vez de pedir salud pidamos no enfermarnos, en vez de riquezas materiales pidamos sólo las cosas del reino y viviremos mucho y por la eternidad, que tengas un excelente sábado lleno de bendiciones, shalom !

-Marvin Williams

Reflexiona y ora:

¿Qué puedes hacer para buscar a Dios y encontrar satisfacción en Él?

¿Cómo puedes expresarle tu gratitud por su fidelidad?

Doomsday Machine (1972)

My rating: 4/10

This has all the ingredients for an amusing ham and cheese sandwich of a movie, what with the cardboard sets, goofy effects (they even tried some gore, it was hilarious), and the technicolor rainbow lighting that was so utterly incongruous with the rather dark and depressing tone of the movie - but unfortunately it was also liberally covered in some incredibly high grade 60s-era misogyny, which made the whole thing rather a chore to sit through. Still, could make for good riffing, I guess.
