These amazing examples of vintage and colourful posters truly reflected the state of Egyptian cinema in the “good old days”. Not only did Egyptian cinema represent a thriving and creative industry, where talent and creativity naturally flourished, but it also showed an amazing attention to detail. Today’s films are bland at best and awful, uninspiring, lacking on the talent front and quite frankly criminal, if we’re being completely honest. The posters speak for themselves. This was an era when only talent and creativity made it. When vision was appreciated and implemented for all the world to see and cinema goers to enjoy.

أيوب دي أغنية لنغم مصري .. هي أصلاً اسمها التوبة (على ما أظن يعني) بس بالنسبة لي هي أيوب.

أول مرة بقى أيوب تشعشع معايا كده كان في يوم ممطر و كانت الدنيا مزحولة و كنت في الزمالك مخلصة خروجتين بعد الشغل و بأتمشى في وسط الزحاليق علشان أقابل محمد عند ديوان و نخرج. كنت وحدي و حسيت ان المزيكا بتشيلني و ان رجليا بتترفع عن الأرض و بأطير  read more »

“As if we are really in a desperate need for another Music Video Channel !! And it is not like any other channel it is the MTV Channel directed to the Arab world,” writes Zeinobia, from Egypt.

This is unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m sick, AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!! I’ve got the bloody flu, AGAIN!!! I’m stuck in my room with nothing to do, AGAIN!!!!!! Seriously, what the hell is wrong! My immune system hates me.

On a lighter note,my friend J introduced me to Yelle’s music, and he sent me a video of ‘A Cause Des Garçons - Remix’. I can’t stop listening to it! Plus, the video’s quite addictive; the dance is called Tecktonik and I love it! It looks so, so…weird, and I like weird ;) I’ve attempted to learn it, but let’s just say, being fuzzed up on medication, dancing like a loon and trying to stay balanced is one hell of a feat!  read more »

To think that I was supposed to be in Dubai this very second, this very moment. I hate how things have turned out, hate, hate, hate. All my planning, all my excitement…everything shattered.

I’m not being dramatic.

And to everyone who doesn’t understand, I don’t care. Turns out nobody understood how important this was to me - not even those closest to me.

I’ve stopped believing in, “Good things will come to those who wait, ” and “everything happens for a reason.” I’ve been disappointed one too many times to believe; I’ve lost all forms of hope.  read more »
