10 LUGLIO 2023

Profondo rosso torna al cinema il 10 luglio in versione restaurata 4k (nel post la Nuova Locandina 2023)

Profondo Rosso torna al cinema. Il più iconico dei film di Dario Argento e probabilmente il film più conosciuto al mondo tra quelli girati a Torino è stato restaurato in 4K ed in questa versione sarà nelle sale italiane dal 10 luglio.

L’operazione è frutto di una collaborazione tra R.T.I. - Mediaset e Cat People, la nuova casa di distribuzione fondata da Raffaele Petrini e Alessandro Tavola. Sarà il primo passo di un’operazione che riporterà nei cinema di tutta Italia classici del cinema.

“Volevamo che la nostra prima uscita fosse italiana ed emblematica, – dice Petrini – e per noi è stato naturale scegliere Profondo Rosso perché racchiude in sé tutto ciò che il cinema può essere e fare. Proprio pensando a questo tipo di iconicità, il nostro prossimo titolo sarà Cannibal Holocaust del compianto Ruggero Deodato un film cruciale nella storia del cinema e del suo linguaggio”.

Il rapporto tra Profondo Rosso, Dario Argento e Torino è strettissimo. Per tanti appassionati Piazza Cln è piazza Profondo Rosso e ancora oggi i turisti si stupiscono di non trovare sotto i portici il Blue Bar (che era in realtà stato realizzato ad hoc per il film). Villa Scott, nella prima collina torinese, è quotidianamente meta di pellegrinaggio di appassionati del cinema thriller (oltre che di appassionati di arcitettura Liberty). Al Museo Nazionale del Cinema si è da poco conclusa la più grande mostra mai dedicata a Dario Argento, che ha coinvolto migliaia di visitatori. Infine, ogni anno a settembre si svolge inoltre il Torino d’Argento Tour Locations.

Chris Pine on Don't Worry Darling and "spitgate" in Venice for Esquire, 1 March 2023:

"When he’s alone in the sauna, Pine will stretch or listen to a podcast, but because I’m here, we talk about his last big moment out in the world: the seemingly quite nutso Don’t Worry Darling press tour, consumed soap-operatically by a diversion-craving populace when the film premiered in Venice last September. “If there was drama, there was drama,” Pine says of the shoot, but for the record, “I absolutely didn’t know about it, nor really would I have cared. If I feel badly, it’s because the vitriol that the movie got was absolutely out of proportion with what was onscreen. Venice was normal things getting swept up in a narrative that people wanted to make, compounded by the metastasizing that can happen in the Twittersphere. It was ridiculous.” He speaks well of Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles (“a sweet guy”), loves Florence Pugh—whom he first worked with in 2018’s Outlaw King—“to fucking death,” and maintains that nobody spat on anybody in Venice.

And those photos of Pine spacing out during that Venice press conference, the ones people turned into memes imagining him rethinking his every life choice, trying to astral-project his consciousness away from the torture chamber of the Darling promo cycle? “All the memes I saw about my face in Venice made me fucking laugh,” he says, especially the one captioned “me on an important zoom call watching my cat throw up on the sofa.” But he swears all he was doing was admiring the ceiling of the Palazzo del Casinò, jet-laggedly. “Sometimes the question’s not that interesting,” he says, “and you just fucking zone out, and you’re looking at a ceiling because it’s really pretty.”

The runaway narrative around Darling meant nobody talked about Pine’s magnetically unpleasant turn as a midcentury-modern cult leader, recasting his natural charisma as something toxic and threatening for a movie about retrogressive masculinity. It’s the latest of many Chris Pine films in which he simultaneously embodies and interrogates an old-school idea of movie manliness, squaring the past with the values of the present.

It was the waning days of summer and the Venice Film Festival was in full swing. The warm sun was setting on a perfect Italian evening, and the cast of Don't Worry Darling was finally premiering their anticipated film. After months of rumors—cast feuds!, "Miss Flo!", Harry and Olivia!—the Aperol spritz was flowing and things were looking up. And then, Harry Styles entered the same row in the theater as Chris Pine, leaned down towards his costar as he edged toward his seat and...did he just hock a loogie at Captain Kirk???? The Internet erupted.

Now, many months removed, Chris Pine sat down with Esquire—check out our March 2023 cover story—and gave us the lowdown on what really happened in that moment. Did Harry spit on him? Were they feuding? Was it an accidental walk-by spit? Or was it some secret exchange that only celebrities could understand? In our newest episode of Explain This, streaming above, Pine confirms that Harry did not, in any way, spit on him as he passed. He continues, adding, "Harry's a very very kind guy."

But Pine does admit, he sees how the fire spread. "I was on the plane with my publicist, who says I look like Rachel from Friends [with my current hairstyle], we're flying back from Venice. And I'm sleeping, having a great time on the plane. I love planes," he begins. "And she wakes me up, in a, you know, in a state. She says, 'We have to craft a message about what happened in Venice.' And I'm like 'About what?' 'About Harry spitting on you.' Which I have no idea what happened. She showed me the thing. It does look, indeed, like Harry spitting on me. He didn't spit on me."

Turns out, it was just a joke between Styles and Pine that was shared. As Pine says: "I think what he said, is he leaned down, and I think he said, 'It's just words, isn't it?' Because we had this little joke, because we're all jetlagged, we're all trying to answer these questions, and sometimes when you're doing these press things, your brain goes all befuddled, you know, you start speaking gibberish, and we had a joke like, 'It's just words, man.'"

So there you have it. It's just words, man.

Good morning!  I hope you slept well and feel rested?  Currently sitting in my study, attired only in my blue towelling robe, enjoying my first cuppa of the day.  Welcome to Too Much Information Tuesday. 

Australian cats kill one million birds per day.

The risk of penile fractures rises at Christmas.

46% of Americans did not read a book in 2023.

Liechtenstein’s national anthem has the same tune as Britain’s.

About a third of pregnancies in women over 40 are unplanned.

The Great Wall of China is partially held together with sticky rice.

Frédéric Chopin could only grow sideburns on one side of his face.

Bats give birth upside down and catch their babies in their wings.

Being slightly tipsy makes you better at speaking a foreign language.

People over 40, on average, feel 20% younger than they actually are.

Cyclists in the Tour de France need to consume up to 9000 calories a day.

7% of adults have broken up with a significant other on Valentine’s Day.

12% of Britons admit to taking part in a work video meeting while using the toilet.

About twice as many Britons would rather time travel to the past than the future.

Before mating, the male spider mite will undress the female by stripping her skin off.

A YouGov survey found that 35% of Britons say they are just too tired to lead a healthier lifestyle.

The hands of an amputee who had a double hand transplant in 2017 have changed colour to match her skin tone.

A study of sexual libidos found women who slept for an extra hour were 14% more likely to want to have sex the next day.

An official U.S. government website – fatherhood dot gov – provides educational materials on how to be a father.  It includes a collection of dad jokes.

In several Finnish libraries, children with reading difficulties can practise reading aloud to reading dogs who listen patiently without criticising or interrupting.

The Victorian version of fake news was ‘evening wheezes’.  They were stories, often untrue, spread in the half-penny newspapers distributed in the evening.

Items that got stuck in Americans’ orifices in 2023 include one ecstasy pill (ear), two engagement rings (throat) and “an unknown amount of magnetic balls” (rectum).

Carrie Fisher, who played Princess Leia, and James Earl Jones, who provided the voice for Darth Vader in ‘Star Wars’ in 1977, met for the first time on a 2014 episode of ‘The Big Bang Theory’.

The term ‘barista’ was introduced during Mussolini’s campaign against the use of foreign languages.  It was considered a more Italian word to replace the common English term ‘barman’.

The German publishing company Langenscheidt has an annual ‘Youth Word Of The Year’.  In 2008, it was ‘Gammelfleischparty’ or ‘rotting meat party’, a way to refer to a gathering of people aged over 30.

The marine biologist Joel Hedgpeth was the founder and sole member of the Society for the Prevention of Progress.  He rejected all membership applications, because “growth in members would represent progress.”

Marie Curie, the first person to win two Nobel prizes, was not allowed to attend university in her home country because of her gender.  Instead, she spent several years attending a secret, underground university.

In Sweden, you have a constitutional right to allemansrätten, which is the right to peacefully hike, camp, bike, and enjoy nature anywhere in the country unimpeded, with the only restriction being you must not hike close to someone’s house or damage a garden.

The toilet paper roll is only about 100 years old.  Prior to indoor plumbing, outhouses were more sanitary than one might think.  An ash bucket was kept nearby with a scoop and was used frequently to cover one’s business.  This kept down down smell, bacteria and flies.

Have a tremendous & tumultuous Tuesday.  I love you all.
