When a cake is not enough to beat the bad start of the day
You get up and things just start on the wrong foot. And then they get worse. Now, if you are me and need creativity for your work when things go bad you are swamped. Work is out of question and the day is looming ahead as a great big black spider pulling you into some impossible net.

Octopussy — Bad or Brilliant?
A very personal take on the 1983 Bond film I watched, a couple of days ago, the one-but-last vehicle for Roger Moore as Bond. He was way too old for the role, but he carried on with his smooth, aristocratic English gentleman’s charm — with his impeccable humour and elegance. That’s something I’ve always appreciated about Roger Moore.

“Sandokan — celebrating the 50th anniversary of Sandokan 1976”
I’m writing to the new generation here — to those who may have never heard of Sandokan (Kabir Bedi). Europeans, especially Italians, may be expecting with excitement the new series based on the eternally famous novels of Emilio Salgari. They tell the story of Sandokan, an Indian prince whose whole family was murdered by the colonial powers of the British Empire, who took their land and solidified their colony in Malaysia. Sandokan is saved by a servant and grows up to be a man who wants to right the wrongs and free his land from the British.

Il ritorno di Sandokan — The Return of Sandokan 1996
I feel that this series was unjustly treated. True, there are a few dissonances in the story compared to the original, but it is not at all bad — and it is refreshing to have a lady lead again. Mandala Tayde is delightful. The show brings back a certain charm that was lost in La tigre e ancora viva -Sandokan alla riscossa (1977). In English, the film was called The Tiger is alive, the second Sandokan movie— where, there was no love interest.
