Hypnosis (sometimes also spelled Hipnosis) was a successful Italian techno-disco band in the early '80s, born in Parma, founded by Stefano Cundari. It featured – amongst others – also Paul Sears (later Kirlian Camera) and from the beginning of the year 1982 Angelo Bergamini, also Kirlian Camera joined the band. Cundari had the idea of covering the song "Pulstar" by Vangelis.
Hypnosis in a short time became one of the most successful Italo disco bands in history and ‘Pulstar’ sold over one million (1’000’000!!!) copies worldwide and even made it into the Top 10 in Germany and enterted the charts in countless other countries in Europe and around the world. In the ensuing period all of the original members left the project and Bergamini turned down the proposition to stay as a composer and musician of the new line-up and decided to leave the sixty date world tour to concentrate on Kirlian Camera.
At the same time as Hipnosis was developing, Paul Sears officially joined Kirlian Camera's new line-up. In 1987 Cundari released another 7"/12" ("Droid") under the Hipnosis banner. Soon after he passed away. At this point the official Hipnosis- Story ends. In 1991 a CD anthology entitled "Hypnosis" was released. In 1992 a certain Humphrey Robertson released a single and an album for ZYX Records under the name Hypnosis. On both releases the font-logo which can be seen on the "Hypnosis"-CD was used – it was obvious that the label tried to re-animate Hypnosis with other musicians. The last sign of life of this replica was another 12" record in 1994. In 2006 Angelo Bergamini recorded the Song "Kaczynski Code" for the Kirlian Camera album "Coroner's Sun" under the name Hipnosis Italy. This new ‘Best of’ by Hypnosis contains ALL their 80s hits: First of all the legendary ‘Pulstar’ (1983), but also the singles ‘Oxygene’ (1983), ‘Argonauts’ (1984), ‘Droid’ (1987) and many more. A CLASSIC release for all Italo Disco and Space Synth fans!
Out on 12th November on Warner the HBO-series Getting On
Set in a women’s extended-care unit of a Long Beach, CA hospital, Getting On follows the daily lives of a ragtag staff assigned to care for elderly patients who are, well, getting on. Nurse DiDi (Niecy Nash) is the no-nonsense newbie who spends her first day on the job being reprimanded for cleaning up unidentified feces left in the lounge. Unit veteran Nurse Dawn (Alex Borstein) is tasked with training DiDi, but winds up obsessing over a budding relationship with male Supervising Nurse Patsy (Mel Rodriguez) – a new hire who tries to implement a Disney-inspired, customercentric work culture, while fending off questions about his sexual orientation. Disgruntled Dr. Jenna James (Laurie Metcalf), appointed director of the ward thanks to a meltdown at the hospital proper, continues her above-it-all temper tantrums despite being given a fresh start. Dr. James and Patsy butt heads along the way, particularly when Patsy’s surveys reveal that the whole lot of them are underperforming in this rundown, red-tape-filled hospital off-shoot.
Ziekenhuisseries zijn er bij de vleet, maar HBO's Getting On is veel meer dan alleen een frisse nieuwkomer binnen het genre.

Alex Borstein (Family Guy), Niecy Nash (American Dad, Reno 911) en drievoudig Emmy - winnares Laurie Metcalf (The Big Bang Theory, Roseanne) spelen de pannen van het dak in deze splinternieuwe topreeks, die je vanaf 12 november zelf op DVD kunt ontdekken!

In Seattle the King County medical examiner has confirmed that a body found in a ravine in the Seattle suburb of Auburn is that of missing actress Misty Upham, known for her roles in “August: Osage County,” ”Frozen River” and “Django Unchained.”
In a statement, the medical examiner’s office said Friday that the 32-year-old woman died Oct. 5. That’s the day her family told police that the Native American actress was suicidal. Relatives reported her missing the next day. The medical examiner said the cause and manner of death are pending investigation.
Auburn police spokesman Steve Stocker said the body was found Thursday near the White River. Items with Upham’s name on them were found nearby. He said there was no evidence of foul play.
In October Dalton releases Dear Mr Watterson by Joel Allen Schroede.
Of American newspaper comic strips, few great ones have been so short-lived, and yet so enduring in the public, than "Calvin and Hobbes" by Bill Watterson. This film explores the strip, its special artistic qualities and its extraordinary lasting appeal decades after its conclusion. Furthermore, the film explores the impact of Bill Watterson, a cartoonist with high artistic ideals and firm principles who defied the business conventions of a declining medium. Although he forwent a merchandising fortune for his strip, various associates and colleagues speak about how Watterson created a legacy that would be an inspiration for years to come
In oktober op dvd via Dalton.
Dear Mr Watterson
Joel Allen Schroeder, VS 2013Wanneer de dagelijkse strip 'Calvin & Hobbes' in 1985 voor het eerst verscheen in de kranten, veroverden de kleine jongen en zijn knuffeldier meteen de harten van jong én oud over de hele wereld. Op het hoogtepunt van zijn populariteit verscheen de strip in 2400 kranten wereldwijd en bereikte hij miljoenen fans. Op 31 december 1995 zette tekenaar Bill Watterson de reeks onverwacht stop. De druk om de strip en de figuurtjes van Calvin en Hobbes te commercialiseren, iets waar Watterson van gruwelde, werd te groot. Watterson leidt sindsdien een teruggetrokken leven en vermijdt alle contact met de media.
'Dear Mr. Watterson' is een eerbetoon aan het nalatenschap van Bill Watterson. De film vertelt hoe 'Calvin & Hobbes' de stripwereld in de jaren '80 en '90 voorgoed veranderde en hoe de strip sindsdien nog niets aan populariteit heeft ingeboet.
Pers
"This affectionate doc includes some insightful points about the declining state of comic strips." The Hollywood Reporter
“The film offers not only an in-depth look at the comic strip's unique influence but also a concise snapshot of the dwindling state of newspapers and their "funny pages.” L.A. Times
“Schroeder tracks the end of innocence in much the same way that the strip captured it each time out (..) he hardly makes a spectacle out of Watterson's secluded tendencies. The pileup of interview subjects speak eloquently on his behalf.” indieWIRE
