The British press reported that the film “Everyman” the London suburb of Hampstead, this weekend warned twice that the principle of “wild stories” coincides with what happened on the plane crashed Germanwings allegedly by Andreas Lubitz copilot in the French Alps.
Therefore, if a viewer could get angry seeing the images, was in time for the money tailed him entry. The warning is performed at the time of collection and pay the entry and returned to warn before starting the screening of the film, though no one withdrew from the room.
“‘Stories Wild” premiered Friday Last in the UK and has six separate stories that start with a trivial situation of everyday life and escalate to unsuspected and grotesque points. Climbing is both violence and humor.
The film tape, co-produced by El Deseo, the production of Almodóvar brothers, was nominated for an Oscar for best foreign language film and also the Palma Gold at the Cannes Film Festival among other awards he has won or been close to doing so.
Some British media called to cancel the release and delirious speculation in the media and social networks on performed if Andreas Lubitz came to see the movie and could even draw on it to do what allegedly made Tuesday: close the cabin to stay alone and crash the plane he was piloting. In film apparatus collides against her parents ‘house when passengers have already realized that they were all opponents of the invisible driver.
The six stories about revenge and more, gathered in’ Wild Stories ‘They were released last year in Spain and Germany, but it was the coincidence of these days with the crash and the UK premiere which returned today to the film.

The relaunch of service Tidal streaming music, acquired by rapper Jay Z, could not count on a stellar cast.
Madonna, Kanye West, Rihanna, Chris Martin (Coldplay), Alicia Keys, Beyoncé and Daft Punk were just some of the famous names who joined Monday in New York presenting an initiative to compete directly with Spotify.
All these artists have a stake in the company and is the precisely one of the main points of promoting the service that promises, among other things, higher audio quality than its rivals and exclusive material.
“This is the first global music and entertainment platform where owners are artists, “Keys said.
Certainly is a symbolic step in an industry where musicians often have little control over the distribution and consumption of their own material.
However, it remains to be seen whether he can really compete with Spotify, a campaign launched in 2006 platform currently has a total of 60 million users, with 15 million paying for the service.
Pay hear
Unlike other streaming services like Spotify offer free services payments and notices -with backed publicitarios- Tidal strategy is based only on the monthly subscription.
Originally launched in October last year by the Norwegian firm Aspiro, had so far only a pay of US $ 19.99 per month for unlimited use of his subjects with high definition sound to 1,411 kilobytes per second, well above the 320 that Spotify offers its premium users.
Now Jay Z, who bought the company this month for US $ 56 million, he added a subscription of $ 9.99 for standard quality .
According to Billboard, approximately 500,000 people currently pay for Tidal.
Given the avalanche of publicity and support of many famous names, we expect that number to increase quickly.
However, the task of competing with Spotify looks very tough and that, without the next market share of Apple, which bought the streaming music service Music Beats last year US $ 3.2 million.
Exclusive
That’s why only material presenting artists will be another incentive to attract Tidal new users.
Jay Z said that artists seek to reach agreements with record labels to offer advances of his new material solely in the service.
Similarly, the proposal includes other materials themselves as study sessions, rare versions and interaction with followers.
“We did not like the direction that music was and thought maybe we could come and give an honest shot,” said Jay Z to Billboard.
“Will they make more money artists? Absolutely, even if it will mean less profit in our accounts, “he said.
” That’s easy for us. We can do it. Less profit, more money for the artist. Fantastic, “said hip hop mogul.
Certainly the possibility that artists can manage their own business, and you have more income for musicians in general, generated support with the tag # Tidal4Al that returned a trend on Twitter.
However, in parallel, there has also been much criticism on social networks serving some consider is a tool that will make richer the likes of Jay Z already in itself have much money.
WASHINGTON In the last hours, theaters where the movie “Wild Stories” projects incorporated a legend in which he reminds the public that the argument responds to “fact from fiction “and warns that some passages may be” disruptive “.
So what local media, echoing the news recorded in different rooms where the screening of the film began the Argentine director Damian Szifrón .
The warning points to the first of six stories, in which case an airline pilot who decides to crash the machine as revenge against all those who made life impossible and which are explored as passengers on board.
“After the accident flight Germanwings, please be aware that Tales Wild includes a sequence that may be disturbing to some viewers,” says the warning.
Another text recalls that the argument is “a product of fiction and any resemblance to real life is just an unfortunate coincidence and nothing intentional.”
When the prosecutor of Marseilles determined that the German rider Andreas Lubitz had voluntarily crashed the machine traveling 150 people, some people drew parallels between the event and the storyline of the celebrated film.
He also speculated with the possibility that Lubitz had reached see the movie. The film is now on display in theaters in the United States. Nominated for Oscar for Best Foreign Film-not obtuvo- was well received by local critics. In the case of The New York Times, the review included a eulogy to the original story, the scene of the plane sounded. .
The artists have taken the initiative to solve the crisis of the business model in the music industry and Jay Z convened in New York to Madonna, Rihanna, Beyonce and Alicia Keys, among others to present Tidal, a platform for streaming music that stands up to Spotify.
While the industry still laments the death of CD and consumers still frequently resort to hacking to get the most played songs, were the artists, that lately seem doomed to focus their benefits on concert tours and not in album sales, who decided to operate your alternative to either model.
Jay Z is the brain of operation has been called Tidal and offers, for $ 19.99 per month , a service of 25 million songs without ads, 75,000 music videos, melodies identifier, manager of social media and playlists.
This compatible with almost all operating systems for mobile phones and computers will be available in 31 countries and promises a quality superior to its competitors sound, although it also provides an option for $ 9.99 for those wanting a conventional sound quality.
Ie, direct battle to Spotify (platform that has been explicitly rejected by artists like Taylor Swift) adds indirect competition with YouTube videos in question, social networks within proximity to the artists and Shazam in recognizing songs played on radio or television.
The famous rapper and visionary producer, besides creating this project, gather in one room to the music stars over the world got busy schedules.
Madonna, Rihanna, Beyonce, Daft Punk, Alicia Keys, two members of Arcade Fire, Jack White, Kanye West, Nicky Minaj and Usher, among others, signed the initial manifesto of this proposal and, by video, Chris Martin and Calvin Harris followed the historic moment.
“We have to write the story for ourselves,” says Jay Z in the promotional video. “If these artists have been able to sit in a room together, the world can change. And that happened today, “he adds.
In the main post office in New York, was Alicia Keys which acted as master of ceremonies before this” dream team “of international music. “It looks like a graduation,” said
“Our goal is simple: we want to offer a better service and a better experience for both artists and the public.” He said at an event whose hashtag for Twitter and Instagram was #TIDALforALL.
“We seek the health and sustainability of our industry worldwide” , continued Keys. “It’s everyone’s interest to preserve the value of music,” he said.
“Today is the day. The day we started this journey together. All as if we were only one, “he said.
In January, Jay Z bought Tidal Swedish company I aspire for $ 56 million and has since been turning it over to the platform to suit this business model, that a sector is short, the music “streaming” (to listen directly without download), according to the Association of Recording Industry of America is valued at 1,800 million dollars.
According to the New York Times, Spotify now has 60 million users worldwide, of which 15 million paid subscription and others use the free service with advertising. Apple also is expected to offer its music service “streaming” throughout this year.
Now Jay Z adds its own Youn leadership initiative, seeking to create an acquired taste in plays, m u and above the usual services like Spotify or YouTube, where quality they receive is extremely low.
To Jaz Z “ not lose data on the road ” marks a clear difference between the formats of music that you used, and the older but much more efficient resources such as CD and even vinyl . So, Jay Z proposes a lossless audio through the new line in Tidal, a creation of the Swedish company AB Aspire and what the artist has paid about $ 56 million, as revealed Portaltic Europe Press.
Tidal offers you: “Experience the Difference”
In addition to music the new service provides access to a catalog of 75,000 music videos of the highest quality, features and articles about hundreds of artists and as playlists and recommendations based on the criterion of prominent journalists and renowned musicians.
The new campaign by the sound quality has been undertaken by Jaz Z with his wife, Beyoncé, and other renowned as Kanye West and Rihanna , in addition to bands like Coldplay, Arcade Fire, Daft Punk and stars Madonna, Nicki Minaj and Calvin Harris, that changed their avatars in social networks with a high gloss cyan, accompanied by hashtag #TIDALforALL.
So far the service has no advertising, but if you have a cost depending on the version that the user prefers: Tidal Tidal HiFi or Premium. The company nevertheless offers a free version for the first month. The service is currently available in the US and some European countries, not in Latin America.
After the controversy that caused the system that has operated Spotify to offer music streaming and some artists like Taylor Swift were considered little benefit, rapper Jay-Z has launched a competition of this new market with its own digital music company.
It is Tidal, streaming music service began operating from 15:00 hours on Monday and will seek to compete with large like iTunes and Spotify, but with the difference that in this new platform will be no free memberships.
The service will have two types of accounts: one with a cost of $ 9.99 and the other of 19.99.
According to company reports, the husband of Beyoncé has invested in this new company about 57 million dollars to buy Aspiro, Swedish company behind this new platform.
Currently the service is available in the United States, Germany, Canada, France, Hong Kong and Germany, and no one knows when it will come to Mexico. Moreover, it is supported by major industry players such as Daft Punk, Coldplay, Madonna, Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé.

Oscar winner Alex Gibney is the director of the documentary that the Church of Scientology blemish “false”.
In recent decades have not been many who have dared to bring to light the details of the structure and functioning of the Church of Scientology.
It is well known that the perpetrators of this religion, founded in California in the 50s by the writer of science fiction books L. Ron Hubbard and that in countries like France is considered a sectarian make every effort to silence their critics, resorting to the courts and launching smear campaigns.
But with the advent of the internet and social networks, the task of protecting the image of the Church has become increasingly difficult, as evidenced the impact it is having on the network a documentary released Sunday by the American television channel HBO, where harsh accusations are made against those responsible for Scientology.
Read: The controversial documentary that the Church of Scientology does not want to see
It’s “Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief,” based on the book of the same title Pulitzer Prize Lawrence Wright (published in Spanish as “Scientology: Hollywood and imprisonment of faith”).
As stated in “Going Clear”, Scientology has about 50,000 members.
Directed by Alex Gibney, who won an Oscar in 2008, appearing in the documentary interviewed senior former members of the Church, they say, among other things, of the alleged manipulation that is subjected to the followers of the organization, including some well-known as actors Tom Cruise and John Travolta.
We also bring to light details on the financing of the Church and alleged abuses physical and psychological suffering members of this religion.
A few weeks ago, spokeswoman Karin Pouw Scientology said in a statement sent to the BBC that “the accusations made in the documentary are totally false and were performed without asking version of the Church “.
” The church is committed to freedom of expression. Nevertheless, freedom of expression does not give carte blanche to issue or publish false information ” noted in the document.
BBC presents some details about Scientology that reveal those interviewed in the documentary “Going Clear”.
1- Scientology members “are subjected to physical and psychological abuse”
This religion was founded in California in the 50s by the writer of science fiction books L. Ron Hubbard.
Among the statements made in “Going Clear”, which could cause more harm to the image of Scientology are those related to the alleged physical and psychological abuse to which its members are subjected.
In the documentary talking about the policy of “disengagement”, which obliges church followers to cut all contact with their family and friends who leave the faith.
In addition, details of what is known as The Hole (the hole), a facility that allegedly being held captive wayward Sea Org members are given -name branch that leads the church which has a fleet of ships-those who supposedly are abused physically and psychologically.
As explained in the documentary, many members of the Sea Org work in exchange for a paltry salary and thence controls also called Force Rehabilitation Project, which has internment camps to which members of Scientology who do not meet the expectations of the organization and those who are forced to work without ships rest.
A former member of the church tells how allegedly forced her to perform “forced labor” while pregnant and how snatched her baby and then leave sick “for cots soaked with urine and feces and cover flies “.
In addition, we are told in the documentary, members of Sea Org which has a children’s section in which children begin to work very tempranas- ages are encouraged to not have children and during pregnancy, are encouraged to abort.
2- Scientology “pressured the authorities to be declared a religion and not pay taxes”
Tom Cruise and the current leader of Scientology, David Miscavige, are good friends.
Alex Gibney’s documentary ensures that L. Ron Hubbard, whom he accused of lying about his record in the US Army and mistreating his second wife decided to create Scientology to make money.
For decades, the organization which in “Going Clear” is said to have about 50,000 members-not pay taxes, up owing to hundreds authorities of millions of dollars.
In the early 90s, the current leader of the organization, David Miscavige, pressured the Internal Revenue Service (IRS, for its acronym in English) to to grant Scientology the status of religion and thus did not have to pay taxes.
In the film ensures that the Church filed more than 2,000 lawsuits against IRS officials and investigated the personal lives of many with private detectives.
Finally in 1993, the IRS granted them the status of religion, which, she says “Going Clear”, would have allowed the Scientology amass a huge heritage that surpass US $ 1,500 million.
3- The details of religion “are known only after paying thousands of dollars”
Unlike what happens in most religions in the case of Scientology members only know the details of this cult slowly and paying large sums of money, says the documentary.
In recent weeks, the Church of Scientology has launched an information campaign in response Alex Gibney’s documentary.
They have to pay for years to go up in rank within the Church and only when they reach a certain level, known in English as “Operating Thetan III “, have access to documents written by Ron himself. L. Hubbard.
In them the story of Xenu, a galactic dictator 75 million years ago brought millions of people to Earth explains in spaceships depositing in volcanoes and annihilating them with hydrogen bombs.
The Scientology avoids speaking publicly about Xenu. In “Going Clear”, the film director Paul Haggis, who left the organization a few years ago, explains how he could not believe that this story is part of the tradition of the Church.
4- The Church of Scientology “caused the breakdown of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman”
A former senior official of the Church told in the documentary how supposedly the organization does not look kindly on the relationship of Tom Cruise, his cock highest profile and Nicole Kidman, who were married between 1990 and 2001.
Allegedly, felt that Kidman was a “potential trouble source” by being raised in Catholicism and having a psychologist father (one of the enemies of Cinciología is psychiatry).
In “Going Clear” ensures that after the divorce of the couple, the Church undertook to find a new girlfriend for Tom Cruise.
So, allegedly intercepted phone actress at the request of Cruise and was investigated by private detectives.
Also, have tried to put the two adopted children of the couple against his mother to Cruise could get custody in divorce.
In “Going Clear” also ensures that after divorce of the couple, the Church undertook to find a new girlfriend for Tom Cruise, actress Nazanin Boniadi.
5- John Travolta “does not leave the church for fear to disclose details of his personal life “
Members of Scientology undergo regular calls audits, a kind of confessions that are recorded in explaining details of his personal life and would have the objective to find the origin of the traumas that affect a person.
John Travolta would not leave the church for fear that details of his personal life out the public.
In “Going Clear” ensures that the information obtained in audits is then used to “blackmail” disgruntled members to the organization.
That would be the case of actor John Travolta who, according to the documentary by Alex Gibney, does not leave the church for fear that details of his personal life out into the open.

The first was to make a 3D modeling, pre-scan each piece, then a replica was created to display the lost volumes, reproduced with nylon and fiberglass fragments and mounted with stainless steel bolts fitted between the legs and the tree trunk on which rests San Juanito.
Another complication was the assembly of the head and arms, but got “a perfect fit” with an “unprecedented” magnet system.
His “great hope” is that, in future, to recover other fragments, and since all the material that has been used for restitution is “reversible and retractable” will be “easy” remove and replace the marble.
In the piece, which will be returned to the Capilla del Salvador, but now exhibited in the sacristy, are detected “perfectly” because that is wanted, the “refund” of San Juanito, whose destruction is “blame” the CNT Linares, although “we do not know” for sure, as the director of the Medinaceli Foundation, Juan Manuel Albendea.

Musicians and experts have driven this Saturday’s candidacy Catalan rumba as intangible cultural heritage of humanity, in a sweet moment for this genre.
Musicians and experts have driven this Saturday’s candidacy Catalan rumba as intangible cultural heritage of humanity, in a sweet musical genre for this moment, willing to young bands innovate and veterans returning to the stage to keep alive the legacy of Peret.
A novel band called 9SON and a master like Peret Reyes participated Saturday in the day of protest for the recognition of Catalan rumba , leading the representation of the European Commission in Barcelona, Week Rumba Catalana and Catalonia College of Music (SMUC).
This demand comes at a good time for the Catalan rumba, with many bands Young triumphing inside and outside Catalonia with proposals that are based on the rumba and seek new directions.
As is the case Txarango, you just get two gold records with individual albums that are not properly rumba Catalan, but are heavily influenced by this music.
While young people pick up their first successes, pioneers of the rumba as Chacho burn discs again after many years of silence.
Chacho that, along with Peret and El Pescaílla is considered one of the fathers of the Catalan rumba, maintained a long recording silence from 1977-2011, and just recorded a new LP with Maruja Garrido and Lita Clavel.
“A musician is always a musician, and if you see that the music you make goes through a good time is normal that you get to record with the hope that you will concerts,” said Professor ESMUC, Ignasi Zamora, who has Rumba also recalled that three just returned to the recording studio.
In the style of Peret
Carla Gordo, singer 9SON, believes that the death of Peret was a shock: “Young people have left us orphans and we are delighted to see onstage the rest of our biggest”
Young people have left us orphans and we are delighted. see onstage the rest of our elders (9SON) Young shared the stage with the biggest and even produce their albums, as in the case of Sicus Carbonell, Sabor de Gracia, who has produced work Rumbacalí.
But recognizing the influence of teachers does not mean to imitate them and the new breed tends to merge the Catalan rumba with other genres.
Ai, ai, ai y Sabor de Gracia would be among those who are closest the style Peret, El Chacho Pescaílla and instituted in the 50, although the last album Sabor de Gracia features collaborations as diverse as Pep Sala, Steve Hogarth, Las Migas, Titot Brams, Oscar Dalmau and Txarango.
More mestizos are the Troba Kung Fu, that fuses rumba and cumbia, 9SON, the mixture with Latin rhythms, pop, funk and African rhythms, and the sticker that tends towards the ska.
“The genres evolve -HA argued Ignasi Zamora. The Catalan rumba in the 40 and 50 was only guitar, vocals and percussion and orchestra now more and fits any instrument. “
” festive Gender “
purists and innovators have the same goal, according to Zamora, “convey joy. The rumba is a holiday genre, born in domestic partying and taverns. “
We are fortunate that belongs to our music very very genuine and very commercial time (Ignasi Zamora) We are fortunate that belongs to our music very very genuine and yet very commercial, which makes it very exportable. But still must be looked after, and so far the institutions do not have cared much, “said Carla Godó .
The Catalan rumba has its own characteristics, such as the peculiar way of playing the guitar known as the fan, but other Spanish cousin rumbas.
These other rumbas are also living similar to that of the Catalan rumba and teachers resurgence has returned to the stage. Proof of this is that Chicane are on tour and play at La Sala Apolo Barcelona on April 11.
