🎶 "When it comes to killing zombies, I'm at the top of my game…" 🎶
Very entertaining and funny musical zombie film. Good songs – I enjoyed the one cited above, the "filthy" one, and the "brand new day" – some good kills, likeable characters, and just a great sense of humour. The whole scene with the snow man is bloody golden.
Not all is perfect – partly the makeup, the effects; and towards the end it loses a bit of tempo – but overall this was a very worthwhile christmas movie.
The kills in this were partly quite nice. But it's always about the eyeballs. I would've enjoyed some more kill-variety. But apart from this, this lacked suspense. And I think it was unnecessary to uncover all of Billy's backstory. This also reminded me of Scream – which I liked – but all characters in this were unlikeable IMO. Little bit of an annoying one.
This was good! And I was quite surprised of the crude language. I didn’t think everything in the plot made sense, but it was still anentertaining watch. And it must be one of the first (horror) movies thatfeatures the telephone-spiel and the Killer-POV shots.
Eh, no. It's not like this was all bad. But there's absolutely zero backstory to the approaching apocalypse, that fog looked awful, and the characters were all well over the top. And this would've been fine, if the movie decided to go all in on its funny side. But it also had this seriousness. And this was all confusing IMO.
Nice atmospheric middle age murder story. Great characters, great acting, great makeup, great setting, great fog.
The protagonist is like an anti James Bond: no action, no talking, no sex, no drama. And he still gets the job done. And the movie still manages to be suspenseful and entertaining despite all the "missing" bits. The end left me a little confused, but other than that, this was ace. Jarmusch just makes movies I like.
This also has a brilliant music scene with flamenco guitar playing, -dancing and -singing. And it's probably all done while the camera was rolling. I can rarely tolerate music not matching the instrument on camera, but this was the exact opposite. Kudos!
And I enjoyed the soundtrack, too.
Been watching Interior: Chinatown on Hulu. Didn’t read the book, but interesting story.
Another one!
We went to the middle age market again. And our group of friends filmed a music video as a birthday present one afternoon.
Skyliner is nice.
Another one!

Zoe's first day at school. I went photographing with Florian at Zeche Zollverein in Essen. It was my mum's birthday. Saw Gatecreeper and Converge live in Dortmund with Bernd and Fred. We went to a horse race. And Bernd and I went on a multiday hike in Austria, where I broke my arm.
I’m supposed to say Stay Classy San Diego now, right?

Their little suites with a bedroom and kitchenette were perfect for my weekend needs.
During this trip, I got frustrated when I made an order in a local business I expressed asked for them not to give me something, Mentioned it three times, asked them to confirm, But brought it back with me to the venue I was at and low and behold…The thing I asked them not to give me. This is like when I go to a restaurant and ask for a my drink with no ice and no lemon and one of those things shows up. I normally don’t write about such things…but I told this story several times to people and I was told that if I told the same story 3 times, it needed to be on my website. So here it is.
I found out why it was harder to get a hotel this weekend in San Diego. Apparently, the American Society of Hematologists is having their annual conference and exhibition. I spent over an hour trying to get a ride out of the airport, surrounded by people with conference swag. Not sure how many attendees, but 32,000 people attended last year according to their site.
