I liked how this looked. And I think the story had potential. But towards the end it gets more and more bonkers and I’m less and less convinced by plot and performances. Was ok.

First hour of home schooling is not going great. SchoolFox is apparently not able to provide a stable video call: kids randomly drop out, jerky video, choppy audio. You would think that this should not be an issue, given that this is a central part of their service. 🤦♂️

Something that’s pretty common here in Essen: My daughter has remote schooling tomorrow because of bomb disposal.
Yesterday they found yet another WWII UXO (British, 250 kg) around 400m from her school. My coworking space is also right inside, at the edge of the security area and will be closed while the KBD (“Kampfmittelbeseitigungsdienst”) is working on the bomb. Usually this is done right away, but they are still in the process of evacuating a nearby hospital.

Woke up, went to get something to drink from the kitchen, saw the oven clock: 6:20 am. Thought: I might as well not go back to bed. Sat down at the computer. After 20 minutes, I realized it’s 5:40 am. We have yet to change the oven clock to winter time…
In other news: I had a very productive morning!

Still on the train, which of course is delayed. However this gave me enough time to finish editing my #btconf images & I even managed to upload them to the website.

🎬 The Killer
Well, this was not so much up my alley. Some, or even lots of sequences, might have been meant in a humorous way, but I really couldn't tell. On the one hand, it has these super cheesy relationship and friendship scenes. And on the other, it has endless gun fights and car chases, that were not all that inspiring. Apart from the final fight, which was ok. Not quite my type of action film.
🎬 Re-Animator
Quite the movie, and quite up my alley. It could be a little more fast-paced IMHO, but other than that, there's lots of silly fun to be had: all that gut and gore, the fights, and so much more in that grandios finale. And that loose head. If you like splatter movies, you'll definitely like this one!

🎬 Terrifier
This review may contain spoilers. Tap or click to view.
Uff. Mixed bag. Very mixed bag. Mixed black trash bag. Plot is partly eye roller and difficult. And sadly not all that suspenseful the more it gets towards the end. It feels long, too. Some of the gory scenes are actually well done, although some are very over the top and too much in the wrong kind of direction for my tastes. But what makes this worth it, IMO, is Art The Clown: he's really well done - really creepy and evil. His makeup, the way he's moving, that he doesn't make a sound. He certainly has potential to become a new infamous evil horror figure. I'll watch the next ones, just to see how this develops.

The summer vacation in Annecy. Düsseldorf fun fair. A trip to the Eifel with Udo. And a trip to Berlin with Zoe.
Added a little theme switcher to the website:
🎬 A Nightmare on Elm Street
It’s shocking, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen this. What’s also shocking is Johnny Depp’s belly-free shirt. And of course all that blood and gore. I just like those sort of gory special effects. And this type of movie. It’s comfort food. This definitely deserves its reputation.
