I found the full uncut version DVD on a flea market recently. I don’t think I have seen this version before. And to be honest, I actually don’t care very much about that sort of thing. I just thought it would be nice to rewatch this again after 20 years or so.

I still appreciate this movie for its original story and style that influenced so many Zombie movies after it. Basically, every season of “The Walking Dead” works like this movie. Minus the humour. And that’s another aspect I like about this film.

But man, this was looong! And the sound was bad. The Zombie-makeup was just comical, too. And it’s sexist.

Anyhow, I still enjoyed watching this classic again. I just wouldn’t recommend to watch this full uncut version.

Been listening to a bit of The Haunted lately. Mainly the “The Dead Eye” record. Just some beautiful guitar work on this one. And great vocals (as is normal for Dolving). Plus, I sometimes need a bit of Per Møller Jensen’s drumming.

Not super-logical. Was ok, with a few good scenes. But not really recommended.

I like movies that play in a single room – like a play at a theatre. It’s a pretty morbid play. And pretty clever. Reminded me of Columbo at times. Bonus points for making it look like a one-shot movie. Thumbs up!

A rewatch. First time was in the cinema, where this movie is much more impressive of course. But I liked it a second time on the TV, too.

Convincing story. Amazing futuristic and dystopian world. Probably would watch a third time at some point.

One more horror classic. One more great film!

Reminded me of Alien in a few ways.

Great special effects. Great set. Great story. Great acting.

My second Roy Andersson movie.

He has a unique style. And I think I still need to get used to it. Nevertheless, this was entertaining with it’s dry humor. I probably didn’t fully “get” this film, though.

Another classic – from 1968! – I’ve never seen before. It’s deservedly highly respected! This must have inspired so many horror-movies after it. I can’t recall an earlier (horror) movie with that “secret backdoor” element, the “nosy neighbour cliché”, the “is the protagonist going crazy or is she right?”-storyline, or that “look through the door spy”-shot. And there are probably even more firsts in there.

Hail chocolate mouse! Hail Satan! Hail Rosemary’s Baby!

In October, Sina came over and shot a whole bunch of photos of us. So, feel free to stalk us over on her blog.

Ihr möchtet ungern als Familie "posen", wollt jedoch gerne die Zeit festhalten? Hier eine kleine Familienreportage (Remscheid und Umgebung).

A family photo from summer. Made by Udo Fischer.

Finally finishing 2019.

Meetings with friends and family. And some impressions of Düsseldorf.

I shall not fall behind more than one year! My photo selection for November 2019.

First photos with my new Rollei 35 S. A concert. A demonstration. And everything in between.

Ghost’s “Meliora” album made a return to my rotation. Songwriting par excellence.

Pretty unusual for me since it’s very electronic. But great stuff!

Got into Chelsea Wolfe. Mainly her “Hiss Spun” album. It’s a bit like the heavy, less electronic, even more melancholic version of Portishead. Also reminds me of the acts that would play Twin Peaks’ Roadhouse. Love it!

“The Big Sleep” was on some sampler when I was a teenager. I stumbled across this song again, and have now been listening to the whole “Moontower” album quite a bit. In case you don’t know: Dan Swanö plays all the instruments and does the singing, too. A true one-man-band.

Ich dachte ich kann mich halbwegs gut in Menschen reinversetzen, die konstant Rassismus und anderen Diskriminierungen ausgesetzt sind. Aber dieses Buch hat mir vor Augen geführt, wie anstrengend, gefährlich und entmutigend das wirklich ist – und wie es ist wenn man dem...

A first date takes a fateful turn when a racist cop stops the two for a minor traffic violation. The cop ends up dead. They flee, and a days-long chase through the US ensues.

This film is very much fitting regarding the current #blacklivesmatter movement. It showcases on a few occasions how black people feel about the police; and how one might react when the police is rather considered an enemy than a friend.

It’s also a film about loneliness, companionship, trust and love.

Thumbs up!

An absurd film. And pretty funny. Music and sounds are ace. I liked the visuals, too, because the rendition of the used lens(es) looked pretty “classic” to me – and I like “classic”. Apparently the writer/director Quentin Dupieux has some sort of cult status. I didn’t know him until this.

More nostalgia than anything else. Was ok. Wouldn’t watch again.
