Antares de la Luz Is this the man who committed one of the most atrocious crimes in all of Chile’s history? Originally named Ramon, he switched to Antares, which is the name of the brightest star of the Scorpio constellation. Antares’ narcissism only began with the changing of his name, as he would go on to mark his name as one of the very best dumb cult leaders to live.

Somewhere down the line, his interests shifted from music to religious practices. From an early age, Ramon used to feel severe pain inside his body, and it wouldn’t let him sleep. Ramon found ayahuasca to relieve him from the pain, and it helped at first. After a few days, he decided...

Even if you're just a casual "Star Wars" fan, you probably know that George Lucas drew significant inspiration for his sprawling space saga from the samurai films of Akira Kurosawa ("The Hidden Fortress" in particular) and the hero's journey monomyth as explicated by Joseph Campbell. The ideas and tropes contained in these works were combined to form the sturdiest of foundations, one that now supports an ever-expanding collection of TV shows, cartoons, video games, books, and so on.
What you might not know is that when Lucas was building this universe in the early 1970s, he also drew influence from one of the era's most notorious con men.
For as long as people have been into spiritualism and religion, there have always been opportunists seeking to exploit this genuine (if often naive) yearning for financial gain. Barnstorming revivalists and faith healers have made a fortune off the gullibility of the masses,...

ROME -- Work will start early next year on "Viaggio a Tulum" (Voyage to Tulum), a Mexico-based story written by iconic Italian director Federico Fellini but not started during the director's lifetime.
The news is the first to emerge from the Business Street market at the second RomaCinemaFest, which got under way Thursday.
The project will officially launch at a briefing to be held at the Hotel Flora -- which housed Fellini's offices in Rome -- which are now hosting part of the Business Street.
The film, which will center on Fellini's trip to Mexico to meet the famous mystic Carlos Castaneda, will be filmed in Mexico and at Rome's Cinecitta Studios, with a budget of at least €3.5 million ($5 million).
Filming is expected to start Jan. 20, 2008, which would have been the 88th birthday for Fellini, who died in 1993.
The film's backers say they have secured about half of the funding they need already, most of it from Mexican investors and the Mexican government.
