10 years ago Planet Earth changed our view of the world. Now we take you closer than ever before. This is life in all its wonder. This is Planet Earth II.
A decade ago, the landmark television series Planet Earth redefined natural history filmmaking, giving us the ultimate portrait of life on Earth. Planet Earth II, narrated by Sir David Attenborough, will reveal our planet from a completely new perspective, using significant advances in both filming technology and our understanding of the natural world.

And if you are not excited enough already it features an original score by legendary composer Hans Zimmer.

In 2009, cand mi-am luat primul meu televizor LED, seria Planet Earth a fost primul material HD ce l-am vizionat in propria casa. A fost o experienta uimitoare, tocmai din acest motiv pot spune ca sunt extrem de emotionat, urmeaza sa ma bucur de Planet Earth II, nu mai pot de nerabdare. Si aici exista trei elemente de luat in seama: 4K, David Attenborough si Hans Zimmer. Deja ma ia cu tremurici…. 🙂

Honey badgers escape from their enclosure using anything from mud balls to rakes.

Mai jos aveti o bucatica din documentarul “Honey Badgers: Masters of Mayhem – Natural World” – o productie BBC. Am ramas profund impresionat de inteligenta de care dau dovada acesti doi bursuci – un el si o ea – cum reusesc ei sa evadeze din orice fel de cusca, niste adevarati Houdini ai lumii animalelor. 🙂

UK’s open border immigration, debate Bulgaria+Romania (24Apr13)

D.p.d.v politic s-ar putea ca baietii de mai jos sa aiba dreptate insa cultural si geografic vorbind pot sa zic ca-s la pamant. Ori fac misto de noi si bulgari cu nesimtire ori angajatii acelei televiziuni sunt pur si simplu niste mici inculti care ar trebui sa-si piarda locurile de munca dupa o astfel de gafa. Desigur, un roman sau un bulgar le-ar putea lua locul in secunda doi. Pregatire mai buna si bani mai putin, nu asta vor angajatorii? Pai atunci care-i baiu’, ce tot atatea dezbateri televizate? 🙂

Asa cum observati in screenshot-ul de mai sus, in timpul unei emisiuni din 24 Aprilie pe BBC2, steagurile Romaniei si Bulgariei au fost inversate. Incultura se produce la minutul 0:30, restul emisiunii nu l-am vizionat, recunosc.

Update: va invit sa cititi cometariile de pe Youtube, un adevarat show. 🙂

Original description

http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcone/ A celebration of Natural History on BBC One with David Attenborough.

Ca de fiecare data, cei de la BBC ne incanta cu montaje ce contin imagini uimitoare. Vocea lu’ David Attenborough nu se putea sa lipseasca nici de aceasta data:

With timelapse cameras, specialists recorded salt water being excluded from the sea ice and sinking. The temperature of this sinking brine, which was well below 0C, caused the water to freeze in an icy sheath around it. Where the so-called “brinicle” met the sea bed, a web of ice formed that froze everything it touched, including sea urchins and starfish.

The unusual phenomenon was filmed for the first time by cameramen Hugh Miller and Doug Anderson for the BBC One series Frozen Plane.

Un fenomen natural foarte rar suprins de cei de la BBC. Spectaculos:

Cea de-a treia serie de documentare realizate de catre producatorii BBC (The Blue Planet (2001) & Planet Earth (2006)) se intinde de-a lungul a sapte episoade. Intr-unul din ele putem asista la secventa de mai jos, un pinguin simpatic isi face de lucru printre lucrurile celorlalti co-locatari de pe insula. Nu stiu daca o face cu buna stiinta sau doar din reflex, cert este ca e simpatic foc.

interpretative dance = a form of modern dance in which the dancer’s movements depict an emotion or tell a story.

Nu stiu daca acest tip de show a fost importat in Romania insa daca vreo televiziune ar face acest lucru ar fi bine sa-l aduca si pe David Armand – un celebru comediant britanic.

Chiar va invit sa urmariti de ce este acesta in stare (neaparat cu sunet):

A series of short films chronicling the life of the worlds most miserable bear.

Eu zic sa mai lasati RObotzii in pace si sa va concentrati si pe alte forme de entertainment. De exemplu, zilele trecuta am dat peste un nou serial produs de BBC Comedy in care putem urmari viata (mizerabila) a unui ursulet de plus. 🙂

Ultimul episod din Sezonul 1 poate fi vizionat mai jos insa pentru a urmari si celalalte episoade este nevoie sa aruncati un ochi aici.

I’m drunk, angry, depressed, lonely, sad, drunk, annoyed, fluffy and drunk. What about you?
