Shrek, le célèbre ogre du film d'animation éponyme de DreamWorks sorti en 2001, est connu pour son apparence massive, son visage carré et ses traits distinctifs qui rappellent étrangement ceux de Maurice Tillet, un catcheur français du début du XXe siècle. Cette ressemblance frappante a conduit à une théorie persistante selon laquelle Shrek pourrait être inspiré de ce personnage historique réel. Qui était Maurice Tillet ? Maurice Tillet, surnommé « L'Ange Français », est né en 1903 en Russie avant de s'installer en France après la Révolution russe. Doté d'une intelligence remarquable et parlant plusieurs langues, Tillet menait une vie ordinaire jusqu'à ce qu'il développe une acromégalie, une maladie endocrinienne rare provoquant une croissance excessive des os, en particulier du visage, des mains et des pieds. Cette transformation lui donna une apparence hors du commun, avec des traits exagérément marqués qui lui valurent de nombreux surnoms. Malgré son apparence imposante, Maurice Tillet était décrit comme un homme gentil et cultivé. Il s'est tourné vers le catch professionnel dans les années 1930, où sa stature impressionnante lui permit de devenir une véritable star aux États-Unis. Son visage expressif, son corps massif et sa popularité en ont fait une figure marquante du sport-spectacle. La ressemblance avec Shrek Lorsque le film Shrek est sorti, de nombreux observateurs ont immédiatement noté les similitudes entre l'ogre vert et Maurice Tillet. Ces ressemblances ne sont pas seulement physiques (visage large, nez épaté, oreilles proéminentes et menton marqué), mais aussi dans l'histoire du personnage. Tout comme Tillet, Shrek est souvent mal compris à cause de son apparence, mais se révèle être un individu sensible et intelligent. DreamWorks n'a jamais officiellement confirmé que Maurice Tillet a servi de modèle pour Shrek, affirmant que le personnage est une adaptation du livre pour enfants de William Steig publié en 1990. Cependant, les comparaisons visuelles et les anecdotes circulant sur Internet ont alimenté cette théorie, la rendant très populaire auprès des fans et des amateurs d'histoire du catch. Bien que l'origine exacte du design de Shrek reste floue, la ressemblance frappante entre Maurice Tillet et l'ogre de DreamWorks suggère qu'il n'est peut-être pas une pure invention. Tillet, avec son apparence unique et son parcours de vie hors du commun, incarne bien l'idée que l'on peut être différent tout en ayant un grand cœur, une morale qui résonne parfaitement avec le message du film.

She's the most famous cat's in the world. She's definitely the most expensive. She's worth a cool $84.5 Billion. She's none other than Hello Kitty! In the final episode of our mini series on Japanese Inventions, Dallas is once again joined by Matt Alt, Author of Pure Invention. There's an entire chapter in his book designated to Hello Kitty called “Cult of Cute” explaining why she became a runaway success story. Matt describes why in 1975 a girl's purse with a picture of a cat on it, was flying off the shelves in Japan. How Sanrio capitalised on the idea of “kawaii” meaning “cute” and who drew the original Hello Kitty.Mixed by Alex Carlon, Produced by Alex Carlon & Freddy Chick.

Think about how intimate our relationship with technology is. In today's day and age, it's almost impossible to function in the modern world without it. Believe or not, this intimate relationship with technology actually starts with the Sony Walkman. For the first time in history, we'd put on our headphones and unplug from the world around us. Matt Alt, author of Pure Invention joins Dallas for another episode on our Japanese Inventions mini series. Today Matt and Dallas are discussing the invention of the Sony Walkman, how it changed society and even how it inspired Steve Jobs to invent the iPod.

When you think about it, the Karaoke machine is a simple invention. Basically two existing inventions, the tape deck and the microphone, were stuck together, add some lyrics on a screen and BOOM, you have Karaoke. Anyone could have thought of it.

Matze's Retro Corner Es gibt eine neue Retro Corner im Podcast: Matze ist wieder mega angefixed von alten Games. Deswegen gibt es heute auch gleich ein nicht ganz so altes, aber tolles Game für die PlayStation Vita. Wipeout 2048 ist schnell, sieht gut aus und spielt sich toll! The Bubble Ein Film übers Filme machen. Während Corona. The Bubble ist eine fiktive Geschichte, lustig und endlich mal ein Film, der Corona wirklich thematisiert. 14 Peaks Ein Wahnsinnskerl ist er, der Nirmal Pujra, klettert er doch in 7 Monaten auf die 14 8000er der Welt. Eine tolle Doku auf Netflix über einen sympathischen Nepalesen, der den Ruhm bekommt, den er verdient. Update zu Media Markt Saturn und DJI Angeblich sollen die Produkte von DJI ab dem 11.04. wieder erhältlich sein. Stand 13 Uhr waren sie allerdings über eine Suche auf Saturn.de noch nicht sichtbar. Westcoast at it's best Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube und Dr. Dre in einem sensationellen Track Back to the West von Doggy Charles produziert. So etwas fehlt einfach heute…. Quarantäne oder nicht? Man konnte fast schon befürchten, es sei ein verspäteter Aprilscherz. Keine Quarantäne-Pflicht mehr bei Corona. Das wurde nun aber zurück genommen. Popkultur Ein cooles Buch über den Einfluss Japans auf die weltweite Popkultur, sei der Walkman, Hello Kitty oder Karaoke, hat Matze mit Pure Invention gelesen. Sehr interessant und für alle Japan Fans ein Muss! Anker will den Markt der 3D Drucker aufmischen Anker kennt man eher von Kabeln und Powerbanks. Da liefert der Hersteller aus Shenzen bisher ganz gute Qualität zu vernünftigen Preisen. Nun wollen sie direkt mal den Markt der 3D Drucker revolutionieren. Mit einem sehr einfach zu bedienenden und super schnellen Drucker. Vorab kommt der auf Kickstarter, danach dann in den Handel. Haha, der Emmerich Katastrophenfilme und Emmerich sind ein Wort: Aber Moonfall ist dann doch ein krasser Klamauk, der Spaß macht, wenn man ihn nicht ernst nimmt.

My review of Matt Alt's book, "Pure Invention: How Japan Made the Modern World."Music © by Capazunda.
Show Notes It's parallels all the way down as our coverage of War in the Pocket continues! This week we're talking about episode 3: And at the end of the rainbow...? Al shows his potential, Bernie shows how he really feels, the commandos show us a new mobile suit, and Chris shows off her batting average. They're all one big happy(?) family(??) on this week's episode of MSB! Plus for research Thom digs into the references hiding in plain view in the title sequence, how they might connect to other contemporary works, and what it all might mean for the show... You'll find it all in Mobile Suit Breakdown 5.4: Child & Soldier. And don't forget to check out our website gundampodcast.com for visual aids to accompany this week's research piece! The 0080 Title Sequence Visuals The Aerial Steam Carriage Article about the aerial steam carriage design. Article about other early experiments in powered flight. Wikipedia article for the aerial steam carriage. Wikipedia pages for William Samuel Henson and John Stringfellow. The Carrack "Carrack" on Wikipedia. An early Japanese depiction of a Portuguese carrack. Artist's rendering of Christopher Columbus' ships, Niña (on the left, a caravel), and the carracks Santa Maria and Pinta. In truth, the Santa Maria was the only carrack. The Pinta was a second caravel. Guernica Ishaan Tharoor for The Independent, "Eighty Years Later, the Nazi war crime in Guernica still matters." Toby Saul for National Geographic, "The horrible inspiration behind one of Picasso's great works." Guernica (the painting) and Guernica (the bombing of) on Wikipedia. BBC article on the legacy of Guernica, which notes how Franco and the nationalists tried to blame the bombing on Communists, and the ongoing struggle to define the history of the Spanish Civil War. Le Drapeau noir (The Black Flag) by René Magritte, which may also be a response to the bombing of Guernica. Lilliput Alt, Matt. Pure Invention: How Japan's Pop Culture Conquered the World. Crown, 2021. A tweet from the author Pure Invention specifically about Lilliput and its origins. An original Lilliput sold for a little over $3,000 at auction back in 2016. Images of an original Lilliput can also be seen on the Japanese auction site Mandarake. Manchukuo on Wikipedia (note that at the time Lilliput was manufactured, Manchukuo's economy was still under the authority of Kishi Nobusuke. He featured in a research piece on episode 5.2). Atomic Robot Man Japanese blog with photos of Atomic Robot Man, including the box. The Museum of Radiation and Radioactivity collection includes a 1990s reproduction of Atomic Robot Man. A great article about Atomic Robot Man's history in the United States, including pictures of two original models. Article from 1997 about people who collected 'Made in Occupied Japan' products. Article with contemporary advertisements for Atomic Robot Man. Article about how to tell an original A.R.M. from a reproduction. Mobile Suit Breakdown is written, recorded, and produced within Lenapehoking, the ancestral and unceded homeland of the Lenape, or Delaware, people. Before European settlers forced them to move west, the Lenape lived in New York City, New Jersey, and portions of New York State, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut. Lenapehoking is still the homeland of the Lenape diaspora, which includes communities living in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. You can learn more about Lenapehoking, the Lenape people, and ongoing efforts to honor the relationship between the land and indigenous peoples by visiting the websites of the Delaware Tribe and the Manhattan-based Lenape Center. Listeners in the Americas and Oceania can learn more about the indigenous people of your area at https://native-land.ca/. We would like to thank The Lenape Center for guiding us in creating this living land acknowledgment.

Dans cet épisode prévacancier de 3d8plus4 on jase brièvement de Windows10 et de E3 avant de nous lancer sur nos updates de jeux vidéo de la semaine : WITE2, Solasta et The World Ends with You. Côté jeux de table on parle de la nouvelle édition de Age of Sigmar (et de ses règles gratuites) avant de revoir nos lectures du moment : Goblin Emperor (finalement moins bon qu'espéré) et Pure Invention. Côté TV, Luis donne ses impressions sur la première saison somme tout assez encourageante de Debris; du chef d'oeuvre qu'est le premier épisode de Loki, et du navet que demeure Mortal Kombat... Alors que Dan nous parle de Wrath of Man, de la première saison de Mr. Mercedes... Et du futur "film culte car il est épouvantablement mauvais" - The Rental.News:Windows 10...

For more than three decades, Japan has been a leader - the leader, in a lot of respects - in the global video game industry. Names like Nintendo, Sony, and Sega were the only names in video games for years, and even since Microsoft joined, Japanese companies still dominate the market. But of course these companies didn't just emerge out of nothing, and Matt Alt's book Pure Invention is a history of how Japanese pop culture exports shaped our culture, too.
Dans cet épisode de 3d8plus4 nos célébrons l'évolution de la courbe du COVID, nous fustigeons Purolator et ses 'labour disruptions' pis Dan vole le punch de Luis en parlant de... Warhammer Plus. Côté jeux vidéo, Dan poursuit son exploration de Resident Evil Village en couple (awww) alors que Luis revient sur le front de l'est avec un plan de longue haleine dans War in the East 2. Dans le merveilleux monde des jeux de table, Age of Sigmar 3.0 est confirmé et le nouveau boxed set 'Dominion' s'en vient; et Luis parle également des charmants petits livres de règles de Osprey Games. Dans le monde littéraire Dan poursuit son exploration de l'influence nipponne dans la culture populaire avec Pure Invention de Matt Alt et Luis continue à déguster The Goblin Emperor. Du côté de la rubrique TV - beaucoup de trucs : Army of the Dead, Trapped (S2), Annabelle Come Home, What Drives Us et le dernier - et non le moindre - Castlevania S4. On finit l'épisode en jasant de musique, de la qualité des impressions 3d en résine, et du kit Lansky pour aiguiser les couteaux qui fera de Dan le prochain Dexter...Intro:'labour disruptions' - Purolator, WTF??Moins de 400 cas par jour!Warhammer PlusJeux vidéo:War in the east 2 : 1941 scénario (242 tours)Resident Evil VillageJeux de table:Age of Sigmar 3.0 + DominionOsprey GamesLivres:The Goblin Emperor - Katherine AddisonPure Invention - Matt AltTV:Army of the DeadTrapped S2Annabelle Comes homeWhat Drives UsCastlevania S4Musique:And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead... - Source Tags and CodesVaria:Elegeoo Mars 2 - qualité et impressions (tee-hee)Lansky LKCLX Deluxe Sharpening Kit + Henckel Bob Kramer carbon steel chef knife

Author of "PURE INVENTION," (sorry) Matt Alt takes us through his latest for the New Yorker on "Japan's Olympic Sized Problem."If you want to find out just WHAT exactly that Olympic-sized problem is, you'll have to listen to the show.Ollie recommends a cruise that features a very traditional brand of online-connectivity. Bobby seeks adventure on the high... rivers.Topics discussed on this episode range from: Ollie's continued transformation into man who lives in his mum's basement Kono Taro's omurice tweeting Being disconcerted over older politicians acting like instagram influencers What Chicken Rice is What Matt sees as improvement in the tech savvy of Japanese politicians Lunch picture popularity on Social Media The flurry of international coverage of the controversy over the Olympics, and what kicked it off The Takarajima-sha anti-olympics ad that we kind of discussed with Chelsea Szendi Schieder here. Takarajima-sha's history of being a company who makes statements, and it's slightly odd fixation with WWII/post-WWII as a golden age in Japanese history The difference in points of focus/emphasis in pro-Olympic messaging and the concerns of the citizenry The safest place in Japan The big question that's left unaddressed by the IOC and Tokyo's commitment to safety statements How Japan MIGHT be able to pull off a Seniors only Olympic volunteer brigade Can athletes be relied upon to stick to their pledge? How the Olympic situation is (understandably) compounded by the ONGOING STATE OF EMERGENCY How the claim that no one has tested positive at MOCK Olympic events is slightly undermined by the fact that people have already been infected at ACTUAL Olympic events How the government's priorities have come into very clear focus and angered the citizenry as the Olympics gets closer The reasons for going forward, and how the decision to go forward or to cancel should be evaluated Some predictions for what might cause cancellation, plus the contract issues that have Tokyo over a barrel, as discussed in previous episodes with Rochelle Kopp and Atsuro Tsujino Why the Olympics was supposed to be so important as a PR opportunity, and who might have succeeded where Japan has failed so horribly Japan's "regional rival, China" How we've forgotten that at the time of the original bid for the Olympics, much of Japan seemed like they didn't even want it The decade-long history of the resistance to the 2020 Olympics How different the effects of Olympics in 1964 were on Japan The prescient Olympic protest future of Akira Looking to Akira for Corona solutions Get access to the extras by supporting the podcast for less than $1 an episode by becoming a member at http://buymeacoffee.com.Topics Discussed on the Extras: Matt's podcast journey to promote his book, after we initiated him to the magical world of white guys with recording equipment The home recording studio Matt built to record his audio book All of the best praise that Matt can heap on us and vice versa, and more podcast sausage making in terms of how we run our podcast and invite guests How Presentation and speaking skills transfer to the world of podcasting Ollie's visa overstay amnesty in Malaysia Corona refugee-ism America coming into it's Japan-style Lost Decades, and what Matt thinks of the idea of Japanese social trends as a weird cultural outlier is flawed, and what trends in Japan teach us about late-stage capitalism/fallen societies Japan's blueprint for consumption and LACK of a blueprint for creation/monetization Japan's prototype for the gig economy How the internet supercharged Japanese trends The appeal of the Olympics, sports, and the way it ties into national identity Why Sports and sports in manga is so big in Japan, emotionally, culturally and historically Have something you'd like to say?

Much the way we all set our status to not show when we're in a game, the Game and Watch was originally created to allow Japanese sallarymen to play games at work while their boss was none the wiser. This week we're joined by Matt Alt as he discusses his article, “How Gunpei Yokoi Reinvented Nintendo,” which is pulled from a chapter in his new book Pure Invention.
