I did very much enjoy the first film in this series when I finally watched it not long ago. But this one didn’t grip me and I had to roll my eyes way too often.
🎬 Halloween H20
Websites and blogs of people that attended a Homebrew Website Club Düsseldorf.
🎬 Victoria
A movie without any cuts and you really feel like you are self part of this adventure through Berlin with Victoria and the four guys that ends with these phenomenal acting performances which were incredible high stakes given the movie is over two hours long.
🎧 Wallflowers – Jinjer
The new Jinjer has been out for a few weeks now. Given that I enjoyed their latest two outputs “Micro” and “Macro” a lot, I was looking forward to this one. And it’s a good solid Jinjer record. Tatiana got even better at singing. But apart from that now real surprises, I must say.

🎬 Au Poste!
An absurd interrogation in a murder case. Claustrophobic, confusing, unsettling, funny. Did I mention “absurd”? Definitely recommended. I still haven’t fully coped with that oyster scene.
📖 Die Physiker – Friedrich Dürrenmatt
Ich entdeckte diesen Klassiker im Bücherregal, und dachte – “warum nicht?”. Mal ein kurzweiliges Theaterstück in einfach zu lesender Dialogform. Ich wurde nicht enttäuscht!
Fand es in der Tat witzig, was bei solch alten (Theater-)Stücken nicht unbedingt immer der Fall war. Hat mich gut unterhalten. Das eigentliche Thema ist zeitlos und wird ansprechend erzählt.

Got the second COVID-19 vaccine shot Wednesday evening. And other than a sore upper arm again, I haven’t had noticeable side-effects.
🎧 Resurrection Through Carnage – Bloodbath
Of course, I have been listening to this album quite a bit around recording my “Buried by the Dead” guitar cover. Catchy songs, ridiculous (good) guitar sound, and Åkerfeld’s amazing vocals. It’s a bit of a shame he no longer growls like this.

🎥 “Buried by the Dead” guitar cover
Covering Bloodbath’s “Buried by the Dead” on guitar, having a bit of fun with my “Eyemaster” pedal. This album has definitely one of the most gnarly Swedish guitar tones out there.
Signal chain is:
- guitar
- Eyemaster pedal
- Apogee Jam Audio interface
- GarageBand
- Fender amp simulation with a bit of overdrive
- output to my Marshall Stanmore speaker – together with the original track from Spotify
- recorded into my Apple earphones’ microphone hanging directly in front of the speaker, recorded straight to the video filmed with the iPhone.
In case this video is not fair use, and you’re the/a copyright holder and object to this video, please let me know, and I’ll just take it down.
🎬 The Father
Wow! Just terrific! You really get a feel for what dementia might feel like. The set was amazing. The dialogues were perfect. And of course, the acting was splendid – especially of the two main actors Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman. I feel like there are so many subtle details in this movie that I hadn’t time to fully process. I could easily watch this again and again.
🎬 A History of Violence
This was ok. But not more. It was a pretty straight forward story. Indeed not for you, if you can’t stand (graphic) violence. What the protagonist’s transformation does to his family relationships was unconvincing in my humble opinion (and so was the change in character of his son).

🎬 My Octopus Teacher
I didn’t think I could relate to an Octopus so much. This film is a wonderful documentary about a remarkable and almost tragic relationship between a man and an octopus. Amazing footage, brilliantly told.
📖 Im Grunde gut – Rutger Bregman
Was für ein Buch! Es ist lang. Aber ich fand es aber durchweg gut. Ich habe über Monate der ungekürzten Hörbuchfassung gelauscht, wann immer ich mit dem Fahrrad eine längere Strecke unterwegs war.
Rutger Bregman geht der Frage nach, ob der Mensch von sich aus “im Grund...
