Alejandro Jodorowsky
Alejandro Jodorowsky () (born 7 February 1929) is a Chilean filmmaker, playwright, composer and writer. Best known for his avant-garde films, he has been "venerated by cult cinema enthusiasts" for his work which "is filled with violently surreal images and a hybrid blend of mysticism and religious provocation." His most notable works include El Topo (1970), The Holy Mountain (1973) and Santa Sangre (1989), all of which have had limited release but achieved popularity amongst various countercultural groups. He has cited the filmmaker Federico Fellini as his primary cinematic influence, and has been described as an influence on such figures as Marilyn Manson and David Lynch.

Melanie Griffith/Maria Ruskin calls Sherman 63 times and Bruce Willis/Peter Fallow calls him 25 times. The inspiration for this vid came from a funny discussion about how annoyed Roger Ebert got while watching "Poltergeist 3" where the name of Carol Anne is spoken more than 100 times. Sherman won!

"Bonfire of the Vanities" tells the tale of Girolamo Savonarola, a luddite priest who preached that the Renaissance was actually having a negative impact on the world and that people should return to the old ways, eschewing the moral corruption of Renaissance thought. Ezio must wrestle control of Florence from Savonarola, who has captured control of the city in de' Medici's absence and regain possession of the treasured Apple of Eden. The "Bonfire of the Vanities" DLC pack will be available for 3.99€/$ - 320 Microsoft points.

This article is about the historical event. For the novel, see The Bonfire of the Vanities. For the 1990 film, see The Bonfire of the Vanities (film).
Bonfire of the Vanities (Italian: Falò delle vanità) refers to the burning of objects that are deemed to be occasions of sin. The most infamous one took place on 7 February 1497, when supporters of the Dominican priest Girolamo Savonarola collected and publicly burned thousands of objects like cosmetics, art, and books in Florence, Italy, on the Mardi Gras festival.[1] Such bonfires were not invented by Savonarola, however. They were a common accompaniment to the outdoor sermons of San Bernardino di Siena in the first half of the century.
The focus of this destruction was nominally on objects that might tempt one to sin, including vanity items such as mirrors, cosmetics, fine dresses, paintings, playing cards, and even musical instruments. Other targets included books that were deemed to be immoral, such as works by Boccaccio, and manuscripts of secular songs, as well as artworks, including paintings and sculpture.

Burning of Sandro Botticelli's paintings[link]
Although it is widely reported that the Florentine artist Sandro Botticelli burned several of his paintings based on classical mythology in the great Florentine bonfire of 1492, the historical record on this is not clear. The art historian Giorgio Vasari said that Botticelli was a partisan of Savonarola: "he was so ardent a partisan that he was thereby induced to desert his painting, and, having no income to live on, fell into very great distress." Writing several centuries later, Orestes Brownson, an apologist for Savonarola, mentions artwork only by Fra Bartolomeo, Lorenzo di Credi, and "many other painters," along with "several antique statues."[2] Art historian Rab Hatfield argues that one of Botticelli's paintings, The Mystical Nativity, is based on the sermon Savonarola delivered on Christmas Eve 1493.[3]
In fiction[link]
The event has been represented or mentioned in varying degrees of detail in a number of works of historical fiction, including George Eliot's Romola (1863), E.R. Eddison's A Fish Dinner in Memison (1941), Irving Stone's The Agony and the Ecstasy (1961), Chelsea Quinn Yarbro's The Palace (1978), Michael Ondaatje's The English Patient - part two 1992, Timothy Findley's Pilgrim (1999), Sarah Dunant's The Birth of Venus (2003), Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason's Rule of Four (2004), Richelle Mead's Succubus Shadows (2010), and the Showtime series The Borgias.
It is also depicted in the PBS series, Empires: The Medici, Godfathers of the Renaissance (2003) at the end of the second episode.
Mentioned in the video game Assassin's Creed II, the 1497 event is a downloadable content portion of the game. In the Assassin's Creed II version, Savonarola had stolen the "Apple of Eden" from Ezio Auditore da Firenze at the end of the Battle of Forli DLC, and used it to hyponotize people into supporting him.
As a metaphor, Tom Wolfe used the 15th-century event and ritual as the title for his 1987 novel The Bonfire of the Vanities and its film adaptation.
Margaret Atwood's works allude to the bonfire, as in her dystopian novels The Handmaid's Tale (1985) and Oryx and Crake (2003).
This event has been also depicted in Jodorowsky and Manara's "Borgia" comics.
The seventh episode of the second season of The Borgias depicts the event.
The tenth episode of Season 2 of the CW's Gossip Girl is titled "Bonfire of the Vanity".
The first episode of Season 17 of The Simpsons is called "Bonfire of the Manatees," a play on the name.
"Bonfire of the Vanities" in non-fiction[link]
Classicist historians John Heath, Bruce Snail Thornton, and Victor Davis Hanson wrote Bonfire of the Humanities: Rescuing the Classics in an Impoverished Age (2001), using the name of the bonfire as a metaphor for declining interest in classic works.
