Writer, director, and producer George Lucas ... |

From the moment Star Wars burst onto the screen in 1977, audiences have been in equal parts fascinated and appalled by the half-man / half-machine hybrid Darth Vader. In 1999, creator George Lucas began the story of how Anakin Skywalker grew up to train as a Jedi under Obi-Wan Kenobi, found love with the Queen of Naboo, Padme Amidala, before turning to the dark side of his nature and becoming more machine than man. After driving the development of nascent digital technology, George Lucas perceived how he could create new creatures and new worlds on a grander scale than ever before. He created the first digital ... |

Любовта е куче от Ада е лирично и безкомпромисно изследване на извънредните ситуации, които любовта създава; на начина, по който разбива сърцата, и границите, които налага. Истинска класика в поетичното наследство на Буковски . Прескачайки между грубост и нежност, чувствителност и твърдост, Буковски ни разкрива хилядите лица на любовта - нейната себичност и нарцисизъм, нейната тайнственост и болезненост, и в крайна сметка радостта, която тя носи в несекващата си изобилност и изкупителна сила."Чарлс Буковски прави писането на голяма поезия да изглежда лесно, някои от стиховете му притежават неочаквана красота. ... |
