72nd Annual Golden Globe Awards.

The Golden Globes were held in Beverly Hills last night, 11th January 2015. 
It is one of the most important award ceremony for films and television, along with the Emmys and the Oscars. 
Hosts: Amy Poehler and Tina Fey

 Last night was a really special night. Amy Poehler and Tina Fey hosted the ceremony for the last time  (they hosted the show together also in 2014 and 2013). That's why they dared so much, with jokes about Bill Cosby and North Korea, surprising the audience. 

 Even Ricky Gervais, that looked a bit drunk, made several veiled (but not that much) accusations. 

 Let's see a few jokes the two hosts made during the show.

  • Tina: Tonight we celebrate all the great television shows we know and love, as well as all the movies that North Korea was O.K. with.
  • Tina: George Clooney married Amal Alamuddin this year. Amal is a human-rights lawyer, who worked on the Enron case, was an advisor to Kofi Annan regarding Syria, and was selected for a three-person U.N. commission investigating rules of war violations in the Gaza Strip. So tonight, her husband is getting a lifetime-achievement award.
  • Amy: In "Into the Woods", Cinderella runs from her prince, Rapunzel is thrown from a tower for her prince, and Sleeping Beauty just thought she was getting coffee with Bill Cosby.

Italy's 'Tangentopoli' Scandal - 1992.

Image
“1992”.  For many of you it’s just a number, or more likely, a year. What happened? Probably you’re thinking about the separation of Prince Charles and Princess Diana, or that John Major was Prime Minister, or even Britain’s infamous currency crash. But during 1992, in another EU nation, a crisis was brewing - the year when Italy became aware of the corruption inside her political world and, moreover, the year when the biggest political scandal in history came to light. On the left: Antonio Di Pietro, Gherardo Colombo and Francesco Saverio Borrelli. “ Mani Pulite ” (literally “clean hands”), better known as Tangentopoli, was an investigation that, before it was over, would see many influential members of Italy’s political and industrial spheres imprisoned for the first (and not the last) time.  Everything started on the 17th of February, when Antonio Di Pietro, the prosecutor who started the investigations, arrested Mario Chiesa, a member of the PSI (Italian Socialist

Harassers.

I am not a feminist.  Yes, I am a woman and I don't believe in feminism. It's not that I don't believe in equality between men and women, but the word already gives it away: "feminism". Not the best way to express the "lack of differences" between the two genders (which is bullshit, but this is not the purpose of this post).  I am interested in showing how different is for women to go out by themselves. It doesn't matter if it's day or night, if it's in a club on a Saturday night or during a sunny day in a park full of families. It doesn't matter if it's in a city or in a town. If you are not in the company of a "penis-equipped" person, there will always be someone ready to annoy you.  Everything started last weekend when two friends and I decided to make a trip to London to do something different. We were ready to go clubbing, so we left the hostel (in a quite central area of London) and we head to the bus stop.

The Hobbit: The End of an Era.

(Please, read this post listening to this song . Thanks.) It always happen. It's inevitable. Everything has a beginning and an end. I will not ever get used to it. I will never be ready to the end of a saga. But here I am. Talking about the last chapter of " The Hobbit ".  I admit I was really skeptical when I watched for the first time " The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey ". I thought it was a way to make more money and make happy the "Lord of The Rings" fans. But then I changed my mind.  I totally loved these films: I loved Bilbo, Gandalf the Grey, Thorin Oakenshield, the dwarfs. I loved how they popped up at Baggins' house. I loved how Bilbo changed through the movies.  I even loved Thranduil. I pitied Legolas because of his love for Tauriel. And I cried for the impossible love between Tauriel and Kìli (I know it's not in the book but I want to thank Peter Jackson for that).  I'm sad for Smaug. People talked a lot about
