Kao uvod u Merlinka festival www.merlinka.com koji će biti održan od 12. do 16. decembra 2013. godine u Domu omladine Beograda, u Muzeju Jugoslovenske kinoteke, Magacinu u Kraljevića Marka i KC Grad organizuju se besplatne projekcije filmova Johna Watersa. John Waters je jedan od najznačajnijih LGBT režisera 20. veka koji je svojim filmovima šokirao američku i svetsku javnost i od svog anonimnog komšije i prijatelja napravio zvezdu Divine.

Dokumentarni film "Ja sam Divajn" otvoriće 12. decembra u 21 čas Merlinka festival, što je i bio povod ove retrospektive.

LONDON - Asked to say a few words for a documentary on the sharp increases in student fees in British universities, I find that, in retrospect, I gave the opposite opinion to that my actual thoughts. And I spoke too fast.

As if this were not enough proof that PR and positioning preparation were not of vital importance, I also proved to myself the old adage that the doctor is always his own worst patient. In my case, the spin-doctor.

In times of crisis, we are called upon to become humanitarians.

The ongoing crisis in Serbia, the devastating effects of flooding on countless homes, buildings, people, and animals over a very large part of the country, seems to have brought the humanitarians out in droves. More than 3,000 able-bodied men and women marched on Sabac to shore up the floodwalls. Humanitarian aid to the victims of the floods poured in from around the country and from abroad. People have donated their time, their money, their clothes, their food, and their Facebook pages to the humanitarian effort.

VERY FEW PEOPLE know that the traffic laws in Belgrade were written by a cat.

For many years, I have been looking for an adequate explanation for traffic in the White City. I have wondered why it was ok to come to a stop at a red light and then step out of your car and go get a coffee.

The question of right-of-way was fairly easy to figure out - everyone has it. At the same time. Especially at a four-way intersection with six ancillary roads leading into it. Why waste time trying to figure out who has priority when the answer is obviously me? And when you need to transfer (quite suddenly) from the far left lane to the far right, you just do it. Everyone will always get out of the way.

And they will greet you with friendly honking as you go.

What possible crime could be more heinous and threatening to public safety than a woman who forgot to swipe her bus pass?

It is a scourge on our society. We must root it out and brutalize offenders in a very public way so as to discourage future criminal acts.

I plan to write a letter to the City of Belgrade protesting the arrest of this woman. If the point of her arrest was to demonstrate the power of the police and the weak position of our citizenry, then jail is NOT the answer.

The past is in the future.

On December 23rd, my latest book, Grumpy in Belgrade: The Prehistory, will hit bookstores all across Belgrade. Impact craters from the collision are expected to form along Knez Mihailova. Please alter your routes accordingly.

The new book, which exists now in the future, is all about the past - the prehistory of my Serbian sojourn. The pieces collected in the new volume of grumpiness were written between 2002 and 2006 - just before I began posting them here on B92.

New Year’s Resolutions are often times for radical shifts in what we like to think of as our personal brands. Maybe it is a diet. Maybe it is smoking. Maybe it is reading more. Maybe it is watching less television… Whatever the resolution, be aware that it affects your personal brand – both from inside and out.

The Resolution

Not everyone makes a New Year’s resolution – except maybe as a joke. The Resolution is a promise made to yourself, the universe, and anyone standing near enough to hear and bored enough to listen, about something you would like to do differently in the year to come.

Erase the facts the shit was flyin' outta the window. I painted blue. I paint the whole room

When its time to get in trouble we know just what to do

the screen door swayin'.now baby gimme something to live for, I been a fool, I been a fool. no revelations in the water, no tears into the booze

In pains the floor, the worried people shaking the whole house,  I take it back, I take it all back

the regret thats got us sayin'. the hounds upon the tracks. and always in time, I'm never looking over my shoulder, I sing to you, I sing it to you

keeping heads above

Menadzmentu B92, 

Recite javno zasto se skinuli tekst Dusana Masica? Nema potrebe da  vam se objasnjava ko je novinar Masic. Nema Srbija mnogo ljudi koji rade za najvece svetske medije, kao sto Masic radi.

Recite  sta je bilo sporno u najcivilizovanijem tekstu koji jedan novinar moze da napise? Recite koja je ruzna rec napisana, koja je psovka upotrebljena, koja je pretnja upucena i kome? Koji to novinarski standard nije ispostovan? Recite zasto tekst, koji moze da se izucava kao Osnovi novinarstva, skidate sa vaseg sajta?

Da li ste svesni da ste upravo danas, kada

Kada su od strane države formirane profesionalne komore i uvedene licence, verovatno se smatralo i očekivalo da se komore bore za očuvanje profesionalnosti i stručnosti svojih članova. Međutim, ova udruženja su postala izolovana ostrvca u turbulentnim tranzicionim vremenima.
Nedavni slučaj nesavesnog rada lekara (još nerazjašnjenog u potpunosti) koji je kao posledicu doveo do smrti osmogodišnjeg dečaka opet pokazuje nedostatak reakcije profesionalnih udruženja. Šta ona treba da rade u ovakvom slučaju? U pitanju je obavezna licenca koju

 I pored brojnih tehnoloških otkrića i pronalazaka smišljenih da mu olakšaju svakodnevno funkcionisanje - čovek današnjice deluje nesigurnije no ikad u svojoj novijoj povesti.

Ispražnjena značenja i velike ideje (koje su u međuvremenu potrošile svoje pokretačke potencijale) njegov život svele su na svakodnevni napor prevazilaženja zjapa koji stoji između potreba i mogućnosti - odnosno ispražnjenosti unutrašnjih i neselektivne prenatrpanosti spoljašnjih svetova i sadržaja. Kriza vremena u kom živimo prevashodno je kriza ideja i ona svakako nije zaobišla ni umetnost. Šta, dakle, u takvoj konstelaciji ostaje kao moguća (poželjna) strategija umetniku/umetnosti našeg vremena? Da li je to davanje odgovora na ionako konfuzna i do kraja ne uvek sasvim lako/jasno dokučiva i čitljiva pitanja - ili, moguće, pokušaj da se pomenuta potraga artikuliše nastojanjem da se praznina o kojoj je reč: omeđi, artikuliše, dokuči, ograniči, savlada, prevaziđe, relativizuje, ignoriše, ironiše…

Slikar Tadija Janičić odlučio se, promišljeno, za ovaj drugi pristup.

     

        -Džejn, da li bi na našem putovanju po Evropi prvo želelela da vidimo Sikstinsku kapelu ili Luvr? Pitao sam je odmah po povratku sa Nijagarinih vodopada. Moje pitanje je imalo svoju dugu predistoriju. Džejn, mlada studenkinja umetnosti, maštala je da u nekom potkrovlju Monmartra slika i živi. Zaljubljena Džejn je želela da zajedno odemo u Veneciju. Sredovečna Džejn je želela sve to zajedno plus ulicu Sv. Onorea u Parizu sa svim svojim raskošnim izlozima. Otići u Italiju i Pariz bio je san većine studenata naše generacije. Odlazili su samo bogati. Godine su prilazile, a ja sam Džejn svake godine uveravao kako će se njen san ostvariti sledećeg leta. Videti Sikstinsku kapelu i Luvr za Džejn je bilo i pitanje profesionalnog dostojanstva, jer Džejn godinama uspešno vodi malu prodajnu galeriju na Brodveju.
