 Την τελευταία του πνοή άφησε σε ηλικία 80 ετών, σύμφωνα με το Πρώτο Θέμα, ο σκηνοθέτης και συγγραφέας Κώστας Βρεττάκος

 Ο ίδιος νοσηλευόταν εδώ και λίγο καιρό στο Νοσοκομείο Σωτηρία μετά από προβλήματα υγείας που αντιμετώπιζε

 Γιος του ποιητή και ακαδημαϊκού Νικηφόρου Βρεττάκου, ο Κώστας Βρεττάκος γεννήθηκε στην Αθήνα το 1938

Από πολύ νωρίς γοητεύτηκε από τον κινηματογράφο, όμως δεν αφοσιώθηκε αποκλειστικά σε αυτόν

   Σπούδασε κινηματογράφο στην Ελλάδα και την Ιταλία και παράλληλα με τις κινηματογραφικές του ενασχολήσεις συνέχισε να εργάζεται βιοποριστικά ως επιμελητής εκδόσεων, παραγωγός διαφημιστικών ταινιών και περιστασιακά ως δημοσιογράφος

Κατά τη δικτατορία εργάστηκε ως μεταφραστής λαϊκών μυθιστορημάτων και ως φωτογράφος εγκυκλοπαιδειών

 Τις πρώιμες λογοτεχνικές συνεργασίες με την «Επιθεώρηση Τέχνης» ακολούθησαν δύο ποιητικές συλλογές το 1971 και 1977 με τον τίτλο «Ανάριθμα»

Από το 1977, παράλληλα με τη φωτογραφική του δραστηριότητα, ασχολήθηκε πάλι με τον κινηματογράφο γυρίζοντας ως το 1987 μια σειρά από ταινίες από τις οποίες ξεχώρισαν «Το στρώμα της καταστροφής» (1980) και «Τα παιδιά της Χελιδόνας» (1987)

Παράλληλα, η μακροχρόνια φωτογραφική του συνεργασία με την Εμμανουέλα ντε Νόρα οδήγησε στην ίδρυση του εκδοτικού οίκου «Τρία Φύλλα»

   Από το 1990 εγκατέλειψε πάλι τις εκδόσεις, τη φωτογραφία και τον κινηματογράφο και ασχολήθηκε με την πολιτική διαχείριση της ελληνικής κινηματογραφίας αρχικά ως ειδικός σύμβουλος Κινηματογραφίας του Υπουργείου Πολιτισμού (1989), σε συνέχεια ως πρόεδρος του Ελληνικού Κέντρου Κινηματογράφου (1991-1998) και εκπρόσωπος της Ελλάδας στο Eurimages, στο Συμβούλιο της Ευρώπης (1991-2006)

 Το βιβλίο του "Ασκήσεις περιέργειας" (εκδ. Ποταμός, 2016), τιμήθηκε το 2016 με το Βραβείο Μυθιστορήματος της Ακαδημίας Αθηνών

SNL DESTROYS Laura Ingraham and Fox News For Their 'Migrant Caravan' Nonsense - Duration: 3:15.

This past weekend, Saturday Night Live decided to take on Fox News over their coverage of

the alleged migrant caravan that Fox wants their viewers to believe is right outside

their door right now, waiting to do them harm.

He is SNL's take on Fox News coverage of this issue.

Now as we said, thousands of troops are heading to the border, the goal is to have five armed

soldiers for every one shoeless immigrant child.

Trump is calling it Operation Eagle with a Huge Dong. [crosstalk] insider look as former

Milwaukee sheriff and Trump cheerleader David Clarke.

Sheriff, how are you?

Unpopular among my own people.

And what is your take on the caravan?

Well the situation is urgent Laura.

The caravan is only 800 miles from our border.

If these immigrants walk at a normal pace of 300 miles a day, they could be here in

time to vote on election day.

And are they moving that quickly?

Well let's just take a look at this aerial footage of the caravan.

My god, and those are humans?

Basically, yeah.

We've also learned that all the women in the caravan are more than nine months pregnant,

and they're holding the babies in until the exact moment when they cross over the border.

And then they're gonna literally drop anchor, and the babies, get this, are pregnant.

And sheriff, I do have to press you on this.

What are your sources?

The crows from Dumbo.

[crosstalk] with me, thank you sheriff Clarke.

You know what's really scary about that clip, is that this isn't too far off from how Fox

News has been reacting to news of this alleged caravan.

We learned on Sunday that the Pentagon itself had told the President that this caravan poses

no threat at all to the United States, and very few, if any people in this caravan are

even going to make it to the United States.

And obviously more importantly, coming to the United States to seek asylum is perfectly

legal.

And yet, Fox News along with this administration has pushed this narrative that these are somehow

dangerous, angry people coming to the United States to take us over, to do away with our

culture as Fox news has said.

And so this was a very pertinent skit that SNL pulled off and they did it beautifully

and hilariously here.

But we all know and this is something they even mention if you watch the full clip, you

can find the link to that in the description of this video, that this is a political ploy

by the President.

That is what is happening with this.

So it's gonna be interesting to see what happens after the Mid-terms are over.

Is the caravan still gonna be front page news?

Is it gonna be talked about 24/7?

Or is the entire administration gonna say well, that didn't work so I guess we don't

need to talk about it anymore.

On Wednesday, we're gonna know the answers to all of those questions.

Chelsea news: Blues fans make Victor Moses demand after club posts video on Twitter - Duration: 2:04.

 Chelsea are currently making their final preparations ready to face BATE Borisov in the Europa League on Thursday

 The Blues took to the training field today as manager Maurizio Sarri put his players through their paces ready to take on BATE

 The likes of Moses, Marcos Alonso and Alvaro Morata were filmed heading to training ready for a chilly session at Cobham

 A video was posted on the club's social media channels but some fans were quick to make the same comment about Moses

 "Moses should be sold," one fan wrote. Another said: "Sell Moses. Thanks." One fan questioned: "Lmao

What is moses training for?" Moses has had limited starting opportunities at Chelsea this season, raising questions over his future at Stamford Bridge

 It comes as manager Sarri recently admitted Moses and team-mate Danny Drinkwater need to step up if they are to get more playing time

 "They have to improve, but the characteristics are a little bit different," he said

 "The situation is that Drinkwater for me is not suitable for a midfield with two midfielders

I told him two months ago what I think. "Moses is more suitable for playing like a wing-back than like a winger or a full-back

"
