Vakantiehuisjes op (waarschijnlijk) recreatieoord Hoek van Holland, januari 1956.

Van roterodamum.nl:

Begin september verschijnt de 30e editie van de Kroniek, het magazine van Roterodamum. Het is een lezenswaardig nummer geworden. Met o.a. artikelen over Recreatieoord Hoek van Holland, de Open monumentendagen 2021, Bram Panman, de oud doelman van Feijenoord, over Janwillem van de Wetering, Katendrecht en nog veel meer.

Recreatieoord Hoek van Holland is een vakantiepark in het noordelijke deel van Hoek van Holland in de Nederlandse provincie Zuid-Holland. Het recreatieoord is opgericht in 1923 door de gemeente Rotterdam, die nog altijd eigenaar van het terrein is. Het terrein herbergt ongeveer 900 houten huisjes en 200 caravans, die in eigendom zijn van particulieren.

Samen met Saxenheim en Bakkum behoort Recreatieoord Hoek van Holland tot de oudste kampeerterreinen van het land. Kenmerkend voor Hoek van Holland was de snelle toename van het aantal houten kampeerhuisjes kort na de oprichting van het kampeerterrein. Daarom wordt Recreatieoord Hoek van Holland als het oudste vakantiepark van Nederland beschouwd. Het huisjesterrein wordt ook wel De houten kampeerstad van Rotterdam aan zee genoemd. Op het recreatieoord zijn van oudsher drie kampeerverenigingen actief. In de volksmond wordt het recreatieoord ook wel ‘Het kamp’, ‘Het huisjeskamp’ en ‘Het oude kamp’ en ‘Het nieuwe kamp’ genoemd.

In 2020 wilde de gemeente Rotterdam het recreatieoord via een Europese aanbesteding verkopen. Dit leidde tot grote weerstand bij de recreanten, en de gemeentelijke ombudsman uitte forse kritiek op de werkwijze van de gemeente. In april 2021 trok het college van B en W haar plannen weer in.

"The Blond Baboon:" I Found A Great New New Mystery Writer. His Name Is Janwillen Van De Wetering From Amsterdamimaginative, and entertaining simultaneously. I'll keep you posted, but I'm in so far; I've ordered more of the books. Thanks,

I want to thank my friend Ann for guiding me to a mystery I never heard of but loved instantly. The author, Janwillem Van De Wetering, is a former Buddhist monk, businessman, and member of the Amsterdam Police Force. That is a great background for a mystery writer, a mix that has inspired a gentle, compelling, and very well-written crime series based in one of the world’s most civilized…

I had been proud of my awareness, aware of my pride, and proud of that awareness again. It went on like this: How clever I am that I know I am so stupid, how stupid I am to think that I am clever, and how clever I am that I am aware of my stupidity etc.

“What is first seen as a loss is now seen as a gain. For he finds solitude, not in far off, quiet places; he creates it out of himself, spreads it around him, wherever he may be, because he loves it and slowly he ripens in this tranquility. For the inner process is beginning to unfold, stillness is extraordinarily important.”

16th warm up sketch about DC’s latinx and hispanic heroes and antiheroes, and this time it’s turn for Gregorio de la Vega, aka, EXTRAÑO (but don’t call him that), who’s also DC’s first openly gay hero.

Since we’re approaching the end of the characters created in the 80′s, you might’ve noticed that one of the bigger trends of the decade was trying to make the DCU a more expansive and diverse place, with a lot of international characters; while at the same time, failing almost miserably because most of the efforts where really tone-deaf (some directly, or borderline, racist) and mostly spearheaded by white straight creators who, while mostly good intentioned, weren’t the most appropiate voices for these characters and stories. And no other effort failed more catastrophically than what happened with EXTRAÑO (that’s spanish for “Strange”, this is seen as a parody of Marvel’s Doctor Strange, especially taking.into consideration that in spanish it also means “Weird”, because he was gay).

Everything basically started with the New Guardians, a new group of international superheroes created by the freakin’ Guardians of the Universe (of Green Lantern fame), intended to be their succesors and to represent the best of mankind (this was all fallout of the Millenium event, so it was a big deal at the time). These New Guardians where Gregorio de la Vega from Perú; Betty Clawman who was an aboriginal australian; Floronic Man (yes, the Swamp Thing villain) from the US; Xiang Po, aka, Gloss from China; Lyla Michaels, aka, Harbinger (from Crisis on Infinite Earhs fame); Celia Windward, aka, Jet, who was british-jamaican; Takeo Yakata, aka, RAM, from Japan; and Tom Kalmaku, the infamous best friend of Hal Jordan (who was played by Taika Waititi in the live action movie), who’s Inuk.

As far as I know, the original idea from writer Steve Englehart (as he recounts it on his website) was thas this was going to be a really progressive and realistic take on superheroes, that was supposedly going to tackle politics, sex, drugs and other stuff, but eventually DC backtracked from it, so Englehart quit, and the rest of the creative team was left to pick the pieces. It was actually Englehart idea to introduce Gregorio as DC’s first gay hero, but I have no idea if it was his idea to make the character a walking stereotype or not (he was flamboyant, he wore colorful clothes, he was both the father figure and the comic relief of the team, he called himself “Auntie”, etc).

Either way, there was another character who was rejected from the group, south-african Janwillem Kroef, who was a racist white supremacist. Enraged for this rejection, he created a whole lot of creatures, including one called the Hemo-Goblin, who was a vampire that gave HIV to people in a plot to get ride of non-white people. Yes, really. As a result of the attack, EXTRAÑO was confirmed to be HIV-positive (along with several other characters), but the comic left open the idea that maybe he had the disease before the attack. 

The whole thing was a total mess (this is the comic that gave us Snowflame, the colombian villain who was powered by cocaine), controversial for all the reasons you can think, and wildly unpopular, so it was cancelled, the team died (or where left for dead) and their story was resolved in the pages of Green Lantern, and EXTRAÑO faded into comics limbo where he remained for decades. 

Jump forward to 2016, when writer Steve Orlando brought Gregorio back in the pages of Midnighter and Apollo, with an amazing redesign (I asume by that comic’s artist, Fernando Blanco) and basically finally bumping him to the position of being DC’s answer to Stephen Strange. He even got married to fellow superhero Hugh Dawkins, aka, Tasmanian Devil, and they live in Lima in a magic house called “The Sacrarium” (you know, like the Sancto Sanctorum), with their daughter, Suri. 

Thankfully, EXTRAÑO’s presence has remained having appeared in various issues of Justice League Dark and Justice League of America, so here’s hoping he gets more time under the spotlight, now that he became one of comics unlikeliest success story. 

Just want to close thanking everyone who has supported this challenge, now that it’s been a month since I began.

È solo un gioco (Janwillem van de Wetering)

Non prendere mai, la vita, eccessivamente sul serio. A meno che tu non stia eseguendo uno specifico compito che richiede doverosa attenzione, rammenta sempre che stai recitando un semplice ruolo. Per quanto tu possa accettare la situazione si tratterà pur sempre di una sorta di finzione. Ciò ti consentirà di non perder di vista l’essenza… (more…)

Last movie: FOR SAMA 

FOR SAMA  is both an intimate and epic journey into the female experience of war. A love letter from a young mother to her daughter, the film tells the story of Waad al-Kateab’s life through five years of the uprising in Aleppo, Syria as she falls in love, gets married and gives birth to Sama, all while cataclysmic conflict rises around her. Her camera captures incredible stories of loss, laughter and survival as Waad wrestles with an impossible choice– whether or not to flee the city to protect her daughter’s life, when leaving means abandoning the struggle for freedom for which she has already sacrificed so much. The film is the first feature documentary by Emmy award-winning filmmakers, Waad al-Kateab and Edward Watts.
