⇾ We’ve been waiting 20 years for this – History of the Web Newsletter

I don’t know if you are subscribed to the “History of the Web” newsletter by Jay Hoffmann. A good read anyways, but I wanted to point you to the latest edition in particular.

But the blogging of today won’t look like the blogging of 2002. There are too many things that have changed. The web is bigger, It is more divisive and more complicated and the need for moderated discussion is great. As the blogging revolution is reflected through this new cycle, it will look like something different.

🎬 Aces Go Places IV: You Never Die Twice

Movie poster for “Aces Go Places IV: You Never Die Twice”.

Another Mondo Bizarr feature. And this was just 100% fun. It has a lot of Jackie Chan trademarks: great action, quirky humour, likeable characters and a whole lot of breakneck stunts (OMG they had a little boy dangling on the outside of a skyscraper). Very much recommended, if you’re into that sort of film.

🎬 Midnite Spares

Movie poster for “Midnite Spares”.

It’s always fun watching a movie with the Mondo Bizarr audience. And this was no exception. But boy, this was a bit rough: while the story is simple enough, it’s still hard to follow, it has less action than expected, and it gets sidetracked by too many characters and unnecessary scenes. So, not exactly my thing.

🎬 Invasion of the Body Snatchers

The story certainly has its length. But otherwise there’s lots to like: from the concept of the pods, to the special effects, Jeff Goldblum and Leonard Nimoy, and at last a surprise ending.

Shift Happens – A Book Project by Marcin Wichary

I think, but am not sure, I heard of Shift Happens, the book project of Marcin Wichary, when he spoke at beyond tellerrand in 2018, where he gave a brilliant talk about “The Abridged History Of Having Fun \/\/ith Keyboards” (watch the talk here on YouTube). Back then he alre...

A Walk in the Sun – Remembering my Brother

It was such a wonderful day over here yesterday. We took it as a chance to take a long walk along the Rhine. It was such a great feeling to have the sun back. I knew it before, but I am really dependent on the weather and my mood is heavily influenced by how light or dark a day is. OK for a day, but if it is dark and grey over a period of weeks, I can’t help, but am tired and unmotivated. On another note, today is the birthday of my brother, who died 2013 surprisingly. I think of him and send him a massive hug. Happy birthday, Kurti! Reply via Email

Release Night of “This Is What I Want To Do”

Like I said before, I was shitting my pants before I had seen the film. Andreas Brüggemann and Stefan Nitzsche were working on this since beginning on 2019 and many things happened during this time. Many things that those two might see different to how I see it and in genera...

🎬 RoboCop

This review may contain spoilers. Tap or click to view.

This has a good story, and was overall a well-rounded experience. It's still a pretty typical action movie, and has a few clichés. But it's certainly well above average. I was a bit surprised by how brutal some scenes were. It's almost like in a splatter-movie, and really well done. But boy, how they shoot Murphy to pieces is just horrifying. But the film also has some great humor in it: like the super-duper killing robot ED209, which can't descend a flight of stairs and subsequently lands on his back like a helpless bug. Anyhow, can recommend.

🎬 Opera

Movie poster for “Opera”.

I don't know what to think about this. It's so well filmed, and looks so good. And it has lots of good moments. But I think I can't get over the fact that this is then spoiled by nonsense dialogues, a weak story, bad dubbing, and weird music choices. Maybe this is meant to be funny? Is it a parody? I don't know. Weird movie.

🎬 Diner

Movie poster for “Diner”.

So, me and the guys had dinner, and we then went to see this on the big screen on film. It was a great evening. And this movie was enjoyable, too: a great cast with their distinct characters in a dialogue-heavy movie. And up to all sort of shenanigans during a what seems to be a turning point in all of their lives. Quite a bit of macho-attitudes and actions, but overall very enjoyable. Has a great cheesy, silly, over-the-top dance scene. :)

🎬 Eagle vs Shark

Movie poster for “Eagle vs Shark”.

Well, thanks very much for this healthy dose of kiwi accent. VLC autoplayed this for us after Dream Scenario; and it was already late at night, but we couldn’t stop watching. We watched the second half on the next day, though. Anyhow… this was a very enjoyable and silly love story - kiwi style.

🎬 Dream Scenario

Movie poster for “Dream Scenario”.

Very original and entertaining story. Nic Cage is great once more. The last quarter was not quite up to par with the rest; but other than that, very much recommended.

🎬 Fabian: Going to the Dogs

Movie poster for “Fabian: Going to the Dogs”.

Stilistisch und schauspielerisch super. Die Story hat mich aufgrund ständiger Umwege etwas liegengelassen. Aber das ist vielleicht auch so beabsichtigt. Interessantes Ding.

How Do You Turn a Conference Into a Festival, Marc Thiele?

I often get asked “What is the secret to a successful event?” and surely you first have to define what “success” means in this context. Mostly, when asking me, the asking person means the fact that past attendees speak about my event as a friendly event with a special atmosp...
