All the screens together and at once
CINEMA AND TELEVISION
Published Research
(March 2013 to today) & Reviews (February 2 to December 18, 2016)

Cinema and
television have become obsessions in me over the years and today with the large
flat screen we have, with a universal, all zone and all standard DVD reader we
can access all the films that are available in the whole world on a digital
medium.
In the following pages, which are more a book
than a paper, I have brought together all the full studies published at Amazon
Kindle or on Academia.edu (these studies are extensive and I only give the
presentation and the front page of them. Then I have collected all the reviews
published on various sites, particularly various Amazon national branches over
about the last eleven months.
Be sure I also have
plenty of music, operas, books and other cultural artifacts in the field of
research and reviews (I just finished a 13,000 word article on Benjamin Britten’s
operas), plus creative writing (the lastest poetry volume is An Untellable Story, A Dramatic Confession, The
Nineteen stations of Saraphic Love, Amazon Kindle, ASIN B00UP4CX88) and at the
same time I go on with my basic research on the phylogeny of language with Homo
Sapiens over the last 250,000 years, plus the psychogenetics of language in our
modern world from before birth to adult age.
For you to be able
to find what is in this volume I have built a full table of contents with
hyperlinks. Have a good navigation.

Screening is inescapable, dixit Kevin Kelly, the Great KK!
They tell us there is no escape from all
the screens that are going to invade our life and environment, and be sure, if
there is some money to make out of this new slavery they will impose it onto
us. We are their guinea pigs and mules and we will cultivate their cotton
fields while they crack their whips on well-tempered airs and on our backs if
need be.
Imagine the world in ten years when
screens are everywhere:
From the screen(s) in our bedroom when we
are woken up by the clocking in alarm;
To the screens in our bathroom to tell us
to wash properly behind our ears;
To the screens in our kitchen mixing our
cereals with milk, sour or not for breakfast;
To the screens in our cars or our buses or
our subway trains to go to work;
To the screens at our workplace,
everywhere including the toilets to entertain us with live music canned in a
screen,
To the same as in the morning when going
back home in our cars, in our buses, in our subway trains, in the streets too;
To the screens in our home for supper and
for television in the evening and in the bathroom to make sure we brush our
teeth on the proper rhythm;
To our bedroom till we go to sleep and yet
still going on all night to make sure we learn our lesson properly.
Good morning at all hours in the day not
to Big Brother but to Big Regressive and Repressive Womb with a screen all the
time there like an umbilical cord that feeds us our submissive sauce, drug,
morphine, etc.
What’s more all these screens can be eyes
and they look at you, at your face, at your eyes and they know everything about
you, even the type of porn you watch in secrecy and in privacy, and even the
one you dream of in your mental closet, and they cabn satisfy on the screen in
your glasses or on the screen on the microchips embedded in your brain anything
you have wanted to see and had never dared ask Mum, Dad, your teachers, the
local cops, your bosses, your priests, your friends and even your MPs.
That’s why it is high time we start
becoming screen-literate and we learn how to analyze the messages, decipher the
shackles they contain and liberate our brains and minds from the gladiator’s
net they are throwing onto us to keep us prisoners in that dungeon of
multimedia screened slavery.
I dedicate this long collection of views
and reviews to those who maybe still want to dream of a world that the screens
could not control, and particularly my friends Ivan, Serban, Michel, José, Maïté,
Paula and a few others who may know what is coming. If we can’t avoid this
inescapable, at least let us learn how to tame it, maybe control it. Catch the
elephant by the Trump and look into its eyes and maybe we might be permitted to
mesmerize it.
