Amazing Stories with Mick Garris

Steven Spielberg tried his hand at a Twilight Zone-ish series in 1985 that didn't exactly set the ratings world on fire, but would prove to be formative for a whole generation of imaginative kids. Amazing Stories brought in a combination of seasoned pros like Scorsese and Clint Eastwood and exciting, young talent, including today's guest, writer and filmmaker Mick Garris. Mick became famous for his Stephen King adaptations like The Stand and The Shining mini-series, but it was Steven Spielberg who gave him his first shot, first writing a few episodes on the first season of Amazing Stories, and then acting as head writer overseeing all the scripts coming in before eventually giving him a chance at directing an episode in Season 2. Mick makes his first appearance on The Spiel talking about his time on Amazing Stories, collaborating with Spielberg, and writing for people like Martin Scorsese and Joe Dante.

ABOUT APRIL RINNE:BIO: My North Star: Helping people and organizations understand what's on the horizon – and how they fit into it. I decipher signals of change, help leaders and teams improve their tolerance for uncertainty, and scout new insights and opportunities in a world in flux. Over 25+ years and 100+ countries, I've been exposed to a wide range of companies, cultures, business models, leadership styles, and norms. And I've seen time and time again: Every organization, every team, and every individual struggles with change and uncertainty in some way. Even before the pandemic, and especially today. We've all had different experiences of change, and we could all use some help with the unknown. Leveling up our relationships to change and uncertainty is the opportunity of our lifetimes.My career portfolio includes futurist, speaker, author, advisor, global development executive, microfinance lawyer, investor, mental health advocate, certified yoga teacher, globetrotter, insatiable handstander, and ambassador of joy. Along the way I've been named one of the 50 Leading Female Futurists in the world, a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, a member of Thinkers50 Radar and the Silicon Guild, and one of the earliest Estonian e-Residents. I'm also the author of the international bestseller Flux: 8 Superpowers for Thriving in Constant Change.My journey to Flux has been deeply personal. It began with the death of both of my parents in a car crash when I was 20. My entire life flipped upside-down. And today, there is nothing I enjoy more than sharing with others how I learned to see differently, find meaning, and strengthen my Flux Superpowers -- and how you can do so, too.April's LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aprilrinne/Websites: https://aprilrinne.comBUY THE BOOK: https://www.amazon.com/Flux-Superpowers-Thriving-Constant-Change/dp/1523093595email: april@aprilrinne.comSHOW INTRO:Welcome to Season 7 of the NXTLVL Experience Design podcast – Episode 80!What started at a pivotal moment during the COVID pandemic in early 2020 has continued for seven seasons and now 80 episodes. This season we continue to follow our catch phrase of having “Dynamic Dialogues About DATA: Design, Architecture, Technology and the Arts. In the coming weeks we have some terrific conversations that are both fun and inspiring. They are going to include thought provoking futurists, AI technology mavens, retailers, international hotel design executives as well as designers and architects of brand experience places.We'll talk with authors and people focused on wellness and sustainable design practices as well as neuroscientists who will continue to help us look at the built environment and the connections between our mind-body and the built world around us.We'll also have guests who are creative marketing masters from international brands and people who have started and grown some of the companies that are striking a new path for us follow.And I don't know, maybe there will be a couple of mystery guests that will just shake things up and give us a perspective on things that we've never thought about before.As in the past couple of seasons, we are grateful for the support of VMSD magazine.VMSD brings us, in the brand experience world, the International Retail Design Conference. The IRDC is one of the best retail design conferences that there is bringing together the world of retailers, brands and experience place makers every year for two days of engaging conversations and pushing us to keep on talking about what makes retailing relevant. You will find the archive of the NXTLVL Experience Design podcast on VMSD.com.Thanks also goes to Shop Association the only global retail trade association dedicated to elevating the in-store experience. SHOP Association represents companies and affiliates from 25 countries and brings value to their members through research, networking, education, events and awards. Check then out on SHOPAssociation.org So, fasten your seat belt we're in for some good times…Today, EPISODE 80… I talk with April Rinne whose North Star is helping people and organizations understand what's on the horizon – and how they fit into it. April deciphers signals of change, helps leaders and teams improve their tolerance for uncertainty, and scouts new insights and opportunities in a world in flux. As well as being an excellent hand stander, (check out pics of her doing handstands in places all over the world on her website), she is also the author of the international bestseller “Flux: 8 Superpowers for Thriving in Constant Change.”We will get to her book, some of the key ideas and so much more in a minute but first a few thoughts…It seems to me that over the past few seasons I've tended to talk about the idea of ‘the pace of change' a lot.I'm beginning to think it's a little like my unnatural fear of sharks (thank you Steven Spielberg) and that I keep on talking about them and seeking out images of them on Instagram as some sort of cognitive behavioral therapy to get me better with the idea that I can actually go swimming in the ocean and not feel afraid of Spielberg's Bruce sneaking up on me. I seem to talk about change a lot for a few reasons…maybe because, I will confess, that I don't think that I was actually good with change for years. I was pretty set in my ways about having a plan and making sure the plan was followed. I got significantly bent out of shape if the plan didn't go as, well… planned.If we were off on our timing, if something was late or if some spontaneous moment interrupted the calendar and I was going to have to re-adjust, it took me sometimes quite a while to recalibrate and get with the ‘new' program.And then there was the spring of 2020 where, well…everything changed. No doubt for someone who wasn't so good with the idea that things could change on a dime and a path you had so expertly crafted into the near future would just disappear in front of you,I came to understand that there were three types of change:the change that's innate - you know built into the system of everything the seasons the sun rising in the east and setting in the West and that kind of change that if it didn't happen you would think something was significantly wrong with the universethere was the change that we choose that gives us a sense of agency the kind of change we actually like more than others because we get to determine where it's going and what it actually means for usand then there's a kind of change like the COVID pandemic that is thrust upon you and in those moments shifting circumstances open a door to uncertainty that sense of clarity and purpose dissipates into a swell of unknowns and deep discomfort settles in making everything seem tenuous.That kind of change, I would hazard a guess, not many of us are fond of.That sort of change demands an openness to confront the necessity of things we have often held so dear or the veracity of things we've believed in about ourselves and others.This type of change asks us to embrace the unknown and find an opportunity for transformation in the ambiguity.This kind of change is the kind of change that requires you to stare long into the face of hard questions, discover inconvenient answers and make challenging decisions.That kind of change, turns out, is where all the growth is.That kind of change is embracing the Robert frost poem of the ‘path not travelled…'The thing is… as I think I've said before… it's easy for us to fall for nostalgia.It's cozy. It's welcoming and reassuring because it's familiar and it's easy to continue to keep doing the same thing that we have always done because, for some, there's security in choosing the familiar in preference for going on an adventure.I love that one scene from The Hobbit where Bilbo Baggins, after refusing to go on the trip with the dwarves, finally gets it that maybe there's something in it for him, a growth opportunity, and he runs after the company exclaiming to neighbors, when asked where he was going, that he was ‘going on an adventure.'But there's a strange paradox in all of this and that is; we both avoid the perceived danger of the unknown because the unfamiliar signals potential dangers and our neurobiology is geared to sounding the alarms when the unfamiliar lurks near…while at the same time being driven towards novel and the unexpected because that's where our brain ultimately finds learning opportunities (should we care to pay attention).There's no point in continuing to pull a covers over your head and hope that the uncertainty will pass because it's quite likely that when you reemerge whatever the challenge was it will still be thereand you'll open up your eyes and feel a like Dorothy and you not being in Kansas anymore,because while you were conveniently not paying attention, the world was swept up tossed upside down and blown into a new reality in the context of the ever-increasing pace of change that we are all now exposed to.Of course, all of the speed that we're exposed to these days is forcing cultural shifts to happen, some of which we are not neurobiologically or evolutionarily adequately adapted to. Remember, it's taken a few billion years to get where we are. We can't expect that we'll be able to keep up with the mental machinery we now have. (Another challenge to talk about another time.)As we move into a new experience paradigm of continual change, failing fast and continual iteration may become ‘de rigeur' because constant change will demand it and make it mainstream. In order to remain in sync with change, we will have to find a way to get right with the idea of change.This presents a particular problem for leaders of all sorts who have been traditionally looked upon to be able to divine the future and help lead their teams with certainty into a near ordistant future state. How do leaders maintain a sense of trust and engender followership from their teams when they may legitimately be unsure of where their businesses might need to go as the ground shifts beneath their feet?All of this suggests a need for extraordinary flexibility when trying to plan a pathway through a period of unprecedented change. That flexibility in large part comes not from our ability to develop some sort of control over the pace of change in the outer world - those things that are happening around us - but trying to find a sense of calm and flexibility within our inner world - to adjust and find a way to be in relationship with change rather than imposing our will on and resisting change as it comes to us.This is where I get to introduce April Rennie, author of the book “Flux: 8 Superpowers For Thriving In Constant Change.”April's highly readable book landed on my desk during the COVID pandemic when I was struggling with trying to adapt to the unknown. Her idea of flux is looked at as a noun and a verb;in the case of a noun, FLUX could be considered as “constant change”as a verb FLUX can mean “to learn to become fluid”What April really focuses on however is 8 Superpowers that help you to develop what she calls the “FLUX Mindset”- ‘the state of mind that allows you to see all change whatever it is, the good the bad, the things that you have control over and the things you can't control, the expected and the unexpected, and see all of it as an opportunity to learn to grow and improve.'For April Rinne, the idea of change and living within a world in flux, as about seeing it as a space of emergent possibility.That has a lot to do with feeling OK with being lost, being comfortable with not knowing.This may mean letting go of old scripts, narratives that just don't fit anymore but that you've come to rely on as a way of explaining, or explaining away, circumstances of your life.Perhaps we need to embrace a mindset of change that is closer to indigenous wisdom than perhaps other more wired cultures on our planet.It's not that we control nothing, but that we shift our view to be in relationship with change.April suggests that when we can be in relationship with uncertainty there's a kind of a dance, a push and pull, and that indigenous cultures seemed to have a keener sense of relationship - a relationship with themselves, with one another and with Mother Nature.Our conversation leads to the invitation to see the value in our interdependence to each other and the world around us ( even if the world is in a state of FLUX ) and that we work on growing our appreciation for and prioritization of fostering a positive relationship with change.If we can, the healthier we will be, both individually and collectively….    The next level experience design podcast is presented by VMSD magazine and Smartwork Media.

This week, Rivka and Frank are joined by musical theater writer, playwright, and organizer Ben Bonnema to discuss Spielberg's 1993 classic Jurassic Park. The trio digs into the film's politics: what it suggests about de-extinction, how the park embodies capitalism's knack for turning scientific wonder into a luxury good, and whether there's even a glimpse of a socialist horizon in this dino-thriller. For next week's movie, we'll be watching the 1969 Jane Fonda drama They Shoot Horses, Don't They?

Greg Alba & Aaron Alexander dive into Steven Spielberg's Ready Player One (2018), the visually explosive adaptation of Ernest Cline's bestselling sci-fi novel. Set in the dystopian year 2045, the story follows Wade Watts / Parzival (Tye Sheridan, X-Men: Apocalypse, Mud), a teenager escaping his bleak reality by immersing himself in the OASIS — a sprawling virtual reality universe where people can be anyone and do anything. When OASIS creator James Halliday (Mark Rylance, Bridge of Spies, Dunkirk) dies, he leaves behind a contest: whoever finds his hidden Easter Egg inherits his fortune and control of the OASIS. Joining Wade are Olivia Cooke (Thoroughbreds, House of the Dragon) as Art3mis/Samantha, Lena Waithe (Master of None, Westworld) as Aech/Helen, Win Morisaki as Daito, and Philip Zhao as Sho. Opposing them is corporate villain Nolan Sorrento (Ben Mendelsohn, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, The Dark Knight Rises), who will stop at nothing to seize control of the OASIS. The film also features Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead, Mission: Impossible series) as Halliday's partner Ogden Morrow. Spielberg fills Ready Player One with jaw-dropping references and famous pop culture moments — from the epic The Shining hotel sequence, to the giant Mechagodzilla vs. Iron Giant battle, to iconic cameos like the DeLorean from Back to the Future and countless video game and movie Easter eggs. With dazzling visuals, a nostalgic soundtrack, and a thrilling commentary on escapism and corporate control, Ready Player One delivers a fan-favorite blend of action, adventure, and geek culture celebration.

Film writer and critic Brendan Hodges joins to discuss Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan, a self-proclaimed love letter to the filmmaker's WWII veteran father and all the fighting men of the Second World War. Visceral, upsetting, and deeply conflicted, the film formally disavows many of Spielberg's more populist tendencies as director and creates a tension between the valorizing, mythic tone of its war movie forebears and its own aims as a subjective, hyperreal chronicle of boots-on-the-ground combat. Is the film a viscious, jingoistic piece of propaganda? A formally exhilarating but ideologically dubious piece of late 20th century moviemaking? Or is it, as our guest asserts, one of the most misunderstood texts in popular American cinema? We begin by reflecting on Saving Private Ryan's legacy and cultural context, its place as a cultural behemoth and its application as a load-bearing hagiography for American militarism that found new purchase in a post-9/11 context just a few years after its release. Then, we examine Spielberg's formalism, how images contradict text within the film, and what to make of the movie's propositions on its own terms. Finally, we address the movie's evocation of difficult realities of warfare, and ask if the film meets the mandate and responsibility of such images; how history and contemporary context color our interpretations, and what value there is in continuing to return to such questions in our current moment.

Steven Spielberg was just 28 when Jaws hit theaters, forever changing his life and the movie industry. To mark the opening of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures Jaws exhibition, Spielberg sits down with Joe Fryer to reflect on the grueling 159-day shoot on Martha's Vineyard, the origin of the mechanical shark's “Bruce” nickname, and how he feared the film might end his career before it began. Spielberg also discusses the movie's impact on shark conservation over the last 50 years and how a community of cast, crew, and locals helped create one of the most enduring films in history.

Dan and Raul reminisce about the first blockbuster that set the stage for a summer of big budget blowouts, a series of sequels and copycats and a lifetime of Spielberg flicks. Bruce, the big mechanical shark that didn't work right during production, is the star here as the world learned to be afraid of even land-locked bodies of water, but there's plenty passed the gray-skinned chomper to praise regarding one of the most influential and beloved horror movies ever.

In 1982, director Steven Spielberg followed up Raiders of the Lost Ark with a family-centered feature about a young boy who meets an alien, based on his own childhood experience of creating an imaginary friend after his parents' divorce. With a budget of just over $10 million, Spielberg and screenwriter Melissa Mathison brought the alien to life with the help of Italian special effects master Carlo Rambaldi, with the music of John Williams hitting all the right notes. Add in some product placement from Reese's Pieces (let's not talk about that Atari video game) and a stellar young cast including Henry Thomas, Robert MacNaughton, and Drew Barrymore, and the flick was a hit. In fact, it surpassed Star Wars to become the highest-grossing film of all time, until Spielberg's own Jurassic Park broke the record in 1993. Much of the film feels iconic now, from William's score to the flying bikes. Critic Roger Ebert, in an essay he wrote in 2002 as a letter to his grandchildren about watching it with them, wrote of that moment: “I remember when I saw the movie at Cannes. Even the audience there, people who had seen thousands of movies, let out a whoop at that moment.” But despite the praise, it's worth remembering that Columbia Pictures put the film in turnaround, and M&Ms passed on the opportunity to feature their candy because they thought the film would scare children. So, over 40 years since its release, is E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial still worth phoning home about? Or is it better left in the back of the childhood closet?

Welkom bij Nerd Culture #225, de Gamekings podcast waar we alles bespreken wat de nerdwereld deze week bezighoudt. Van Dave Bautista die bijna Peacemaker werd tot de officiële bevestiging dat Netflix' BioShock-film gebaseerd wordt op de eerste game. We checken ook trailers van Christy, The Smashing Machine en The Rip, bespreken opvallend nieuws rond Superman, en nemen een kijkje bij Spielberg, Brendan Fraser en zelfs een onverwachte rol voor Ridge Forrester in Kees Flodder. Kortom: een aflevering vol verrassingen, nostalgie en flinke discussies over film, series en alles geeky.Dave Bautista wees rol voor Peacemaker afDave Bautista is wereldwijd bekend geworden als Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy, maar bijna had hij een nieuwe iconische superheld gespeeld. James Gunn onthulde dat hij oorspronkelijk de rol van Peacemaker speciaal voor Bautista had geschreven. Toch wees de voormalig WWE-ster de kans af – simpelweg vanwege geld. Bautista kreeg gelijktijdig een aanbod voor twee films en kon zich de lagere gage van de serie niet veroorloven. Uiteindelijk stapte Gunn over op John Cena, die het personage inmiddels volledig naar zich toe heeft getrokken en er een van de meest geliefde DCU-rollen van maakte.In de podcast bespreken we hoe anders Peacemaker had kunnen zijn met Bautista in de hoofdrol, en of zijn stijl bij de serie had gepast. Ook kijken we naar zijn ambities binnen de DCU: van Bane tot Lex Luthor, Bautista droomt nog altijd van een eigen stempel in dit universum.Bioshock film gebaseerd op eerste gameNa jaren van stilte is er eindelijk duidelijkheid: de Netflix-verfilming van BioShock wordt gebaseerd op de allereerste game uit 2007. Producer Roy Lee bevestigde dat regisseur Francis Lawrence (The Hunger Games, I Am Legend) zich volledig gaat richten op het verhaal van Jack en de duistere onderwaterstad Rapture. Daarmee lijkt een langgekoesterde wens van fans in vervulling te gaan, want velen vreesden dat de film een losstaand verhaal zou worden zonder directe link met de games.De grote uitdaging zit volgens Lawrence in het tot leven wekken van Rapture op het witte doek: een dystopische stad vol verval, gevaar en filosofische thema's. Met het succes van recente game-adaptaties zoals The Last of Us en Twisted Metal is het vertrouwen echter gegroeid dat dit wel degelijk mogelijk is. In de podcast bespreken we of Netflix en Lawrence de sfeer van BioShock kunnen vangen, en of dit eindelijk de videogamefilm wordt die zowel gamers als cinefielen tevredenstelt.Timestamps:00:00:00 Nerd Culture #22500:00:26 Wat hebben we gekeken/gelezen/geluisterd?00:02:49 Thunderbolts00:14:12 Oceans (David Attenborough)00:18:03 Small Soldiers00:21:16 Peacemaker00:24:20 Lex Luthor en Superman slaan de handen ineen for Man of Tomorrow00:26:30 SUPERMAN SPOILERS!!1!00:27:36 Eigenlijk was het de bedoeling dat Dave Bautista Peacemaker zou gaan spelen00:30:04 Ondanks lagere box office opbrengst toch meer winst voor Superman00:34:20 Steven Spielberg blikt terug op Jaws00:37:54 Volgens Brendan Fraser moeten acteurs meer hun best doen door streaming00:39:50 Christy Trailer00:43:02 Cliffhanger sequel in de maak, nog vóór de reboot00:45:39 Smashing Machine Trailer00:48:07 Ridge Forrester gaat in Kees Flodder spelen00:50:21 Bioshock film gaat op eerste game gebaseerd worden00:53:52 Sigourney Weaver steekt de loftrompet af voor Alien: Earth00:55:38 Een eerste blik op Dr. Doom00:57:59 The Rip Trailer

In this special edition of Born to Watch, the team dives back into the deep blue to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Steven Spielberg's iconic 1975 thriller, Jaws. But this isn't just a rewatch, it's a cinematic pilgrimage. Hosts Whitey and Dan welcome special guest Paul Glasby to revisit the film not just in spirit, but in spectacle, attending a screening at Hoyts Tweed City, experiencing this Jaws 50th Anniversary Review on the big screen with recliners, giant Pepsi Maxes, and a crew of unsuspecting newcomers.This episode is more than just a review; it's a tribute. For Whitey, who's marking his own 50th birthday, Jaws isn't just a classic; it's a defining piece of his movie-loving DNA, neck-and-neck with Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back as his all-time favourite. The team reminisces about the first time they saw the film, how it scarred them from surfing, and the strange magic that Jaws still holds over an audience, even half a century later.Dan, making his debut on a Jaws episode, brings the perspective of a cinema recluse, someone more used to fields and chickens than Dolby sound and John Williams scores. But even he's swept up by the grandeur of the theatrical experience. Paul, a returning guest and self-proclaimed booster-seat podcaster, shares a British kid's perspective on Jaws' TV legacy, recalling its 3D TV gimmicks and how the film once ruled Saturday night telly. But seeing it on the big screen? That's another beast entirely.Throughout the episode, the guys reflect on Spielberg's breakout masterpiece, how a 27-year-old director, working with malfunctioning mechanical sharks and intense studio pressure, managed to craft a film that changed cinema forever. There's plenty of love for the gritty film stock, practical effects, and Spielberg's decision to show less rather than more. The now-famous story about the shark not working—leading to a suspenseful masterclass in implication over gore—gets its well-deserved praise.They also unpack the movie's unforgettable score, with Paul comparing John Williams' two-note theme to the Rocky IV training montage, so iconic that it shapes the entire experience. For Dan, the real terror lies in the opening scene, all shadows and suggestion. For Whitey, it's the rich character work, Quint's haunted Indianapolis speech, Hooper's dry wit, and Brody's quiet resolve that keep the film swimming in the top tier of cinema history.The episode isn't just nostalgia-heavy; it's a call to arms. Why don't we watch classic films in the cinema more often? Why isn't there a chain of retro movie houses showing Jaws, Alien, The Exorcist, and Boogie Nights on the regular? Dan offers a deeper look into the decline of cinema attendance, post-COVID challenges, and how theatres now survive on mega-drinks and bar-style concessions. But the gang also sees an opportunity: could Born to Watch host monthly screenings of classics? Would audiences come?There's also plenty of fun tangents, dodgy car park stories, oversized soft drinks, generational lines drawn by Paddington in Peru, and roasting fellow podcasters for their Marvel movie hot takes. Expect talk of Spielberg's filmography, the state of modern blockbusters, and whether Top Gun: Maverick or Avengers: Endgame can hold a candle to the cultural typhoon that Jaws was in 1975.In true Born to Watch style, the episode blends deep cinematic appreciation with pub-style banter, bringing in kids' reactions, audience dynamics, and even some surprising praise for Richard Dreyfuss's underrated turn as Hooper. For a film that's been endlessly dissected, this conversation feels fresh, personal, and anchored by genuine love for cinema.Whether you're a longtime fan or a landlocked Gen Z who's never felt the terror of a dorsal fin rising from the surf, this episode is a reminder of why we watch, why we return, and why, 50 years later, Jaws still bites.JOIN THE CONVERSATIONIs Jaws still the scariest movie ever made—or did the rubber shark finally lose its bite? Should Mayor Vaughn have been eaten first?Would YOU get in the water with Hooper, Brody, and a barrel full of bad ideas?Drop us a voicemail at https://www.borntowatch.com.au and share your Jaws hot takes.Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your pods.

Emmy Winning writer (Last Week Tonight with John Oliver) and very funny standup comedian (People Pleaser) Josh Gondelman returns to The Spiel to talk about a film that most people probably forgot was produced by Steven Spielberg: 2010's True Grit starring Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, and Hailee Steinfeld in her first major role. Based on the Charles Portis novel, previously adapted as a starring vehicle for John Wayne, True Grit is about a young girl who hires a drunk and haggard Marshall to hunt down the man who killed her father. The Coen Bros wrote and directed this incredibly entertaining and highly quotable flick and Vespe and Gondelman delight in going back through the story, finding their favorite moments, and figuring out why the movie is so damn good, even if Spielberg had almost nothing to do with it.

Comenzamos la nueva temporada de “Sucedió una noche” con este episodio en el que inauguramos una sección dedicada a los villanos más odiosos del cine, de ahí que la hayamos titulado “Esos tipos a los que nos encanta odiar”. Y empezamos con uno de los personajes más espeluznantes que hemos visto en la pantalla: Amon Goeth, el nazi al que daba vida Ralph Fiennes en “La lista de Schindler” de Spielberg. Se cumplen 50 años del estreno de “Furtivos” de José Luis Borau y os lo contamos todo sobre este gran clásico del cine español. Fernando León de Aranoa es el invitado que inaugura la temporada en “El cine de su vida” y Jack Bourbon nos trae un nuevo serial, “En pos de la aventura” se titula y en el que semana a semana iremos repasando las mejores películas del género de aventuras. Para empezar una película del periodo mudo: “La quimera del oro” de Charles Chaplin, de la que este año se ha cumplido el centenario de su estreno.
