The recent death of singer LG Petrov prompted me to listen to this marvel again.
It’s the Entombed album I listen(ed) to. It’s so damn heavy and the drumming immediately brings me in a good mood. Just listen to the title track. Banger!
A rewatch. Still very funny. 70 minutes hilariously well spent! And bonus points for being in b/w.
We’ve been making these veggie burgers with beetroot-based patties for a while now. They are delicious.
So I think the search for a great patty has ended.
Learning Crystal Mountain on guitar. Death is always much fun to play. And this is such a great album!
Not a film for claustrophobics! I found this ok. The psychological interplay between the three characters trapped way underground was interesting, although not 100% convincing. The movie also should have better explained why things happened or needed to happen a certain way. As a person unfamiliar with underground tunnel-digging, I was wondering what was going on at times.
Been listening to this track a lot, because I was learning that middle section on guitar.
Since watching “Everest”, we got into a bit of a mountaineering-movie fever I guess. This one is about the 2008 K2 disaster, featuring interviews and original footage, combined with re-enacted scenes to fill the gaps.
Again, I found this fascinating, simply by the topic itself. However, the movie was a bit confusing concerning where everyone was at what time, or why/when/how people got in trouble – or not. And the occasional non-linear timeline added to the confusion. Plus, the parts about the Italian mountaineer that was part of the first successful K2 summit in the fifties was redundant, in my opinion.
But overall, an interesting film about a K2 expedition gone wrong. But I had to consult Wikipedia afterwards to fully understand what was going on.
Right now, I’m unsure about whether I will continue my photo journal in its current form.
A little bit of moaning about the current situation.
I commend the sentiment of this movie. And I agree with it. But to me, there was nothing really new in here, however. And it was a bit dry and too long. The more confrontational interviews of the various groups’ spokespersons were a bit so-so. But the interviews with Raj Patel and Noam Chomsky were pretty interesting.
There was not really much metal in here. It was more about how it is to lose one’s hearing. And that was well done, in my opinion. The story itself was ok, but the different sections of the film weren’t very coherent as a whole.
As usual for Woody Allen, this is a lot about the characters, their relationships, and – of course – the dialogue. Cate Blanchett is absolutely incredible in this. Loved how you got to know about Jasmine’s past piece by piece via the regular flashback scenes. Top!
This is the story of the birth of the web, its loss of innocence, its decline, and what we can do to make it a bit less gross. Or if you prefer, this is the video in which I say the expression “barbecue sets” far too many times.
Not your usual explanation of the history of the web and the IndieWeb.
Movie about the 1996 Mount Everest disaster.
The movie itself is fairly conventional. But that doesn’t mean it’s bad. Far from it! A fascinating story told via a well-made movie made a good Saturday night.

Ich hatte dieses Buch in unserem Schrank gefunden, und dachte es wär’ mal was anderes ab und zu eine Kurzgeschichte dieses weltberühmten Autors zu lesen.
Gefiel mir. Einige Geschichten waren in der Tat sehr morbide. Und “Der Doppelmord in der Rue Morgue” war die beste – und ist meiner Meinung nach somit zu Recht eine der bekanntesten Erzählungen Poes.
Ich mochte seinen Schreibstil, besonders, wie er viele der Geschichten aus (scheinbarer?) Autorensicht eingeleitet hat.
GitHub and GitLab now both offer dark mode. My eyes thank you!
