For over 25 years, a group of senior citizens of Puerto Rico known as ‘Los caminantes de Plaza’ have gotten together on a weekly basis in the biggest mall of the Caribbean before opening hours to workout and socialize.

It’s fascinating how while the stores are getting ready to open their doors, the mall’s common spaces are transformed by this group into a gym-like zone just before the mall gets packed with shoppers.

This memorable scene from 1994 movie Forrest Gump directed by Robert Zemeckis is an always inspiring piece of cinema.

Caine's Arcade

My brother send my today this awesome story about Cain, a boy from east L.A. that made his own arcade in his father's workshop. Even at first he had no clients at all, his perseverance and imagination didn't cease until one day he met his first client, the filmmaker Nirvan Mullick.

Kanye West & Jay-Z: OTIS directed by Spike Jonze

Carving the Mountains by Juan Rayos

WAX: CALIFORNIA directed by Spike Jonze

This is one of my favourites Spike Jonze music videos. Released on February 8, 1995. It is the first video included in Jonze's The work of Directors series DVD . Today as I was watching it I thought how long would it take if played at normal speed, so I open it up on Premiere and after some minutes I believe I got the result: 1000X faster. Here the resulting 15 seconds.

EXTRA + ROCK MONSTER STRIKES BACK by Ken Ishii

I ordered this CD because of it's cover art drawn by Katsuhiro Otomo. I then realize that the author Ken Ishii EXTRA had a great music animation video directed by Koji Morimoto, who has collaborated with Otomo in many occasions.

ALFRED J. KWAK single

I remember watching Alfred J. Kwak on TV when I was a kid. This animation serie was different to others. Always sad things happened to little Alfred. But it was great. I saw this single on Amazon Japan and I ordered. It's a 8cm CD with just two tracks, in a kind of a wide box I never saw before but I suppose it's common in Japan.
