The gun fight in the middle of the night is a great start into the storyabout this assassin brother duo. While their quest is already gripping,this movie is as much about relationships and life in general. And thiscombination made it special and a very enjoyable watch.
This film will hopefully also make you appreciate how much morecomfortable life is in the 21st century (in the so called “developed”world anyway).
Wow! I’m going to experiment with this a little. I already created this very post using Gitpod. With the iPad (and the Planck keyboard, of course).

This was a weird one. For me, this was partly (and maybe involuntarily)too cute and/or funny, which I felt was not fitting to the overallrather dark – almost menacing – atmosphere. Which I liked. Just like theacting and the whole setting. Hm. A “mixed review” I guess.
Getting a “Accessory Unavailable: The attached accessory uses too much power.” warning? Here's the fix!
Some proper old school sci-fi. With fucker Charlton Heston. I think Icould recognise the influence this had on other movies. So I think itdeserves its “classic” status. Loved the end: “You’ve go to tell them!Soylent Green is…”.
But man, the scene between Thorn and Shirl in the bedroom during the“furniture”-party… what was that? Lol.
Yep, good entertainment. Funny, good music, and a great cast. I foundthe storyline sometimes a little bit all over the place, which is my onecomplaint. And I would’ve actually loved to hear/read more of that finalarticle he wrote for Rolling Stone.
New challenge. New possibilities.
Having seen “An Impossible Project” at the Metropol on Wednesday made me realise again how much I like going to the cinema. At least to those of the little, artsy kind. Like the “Filmkunstkinos” here in Düsseldorf.
The whole experience is just so much richer than at home: you get to see the film on a big screen in a dark room, with loud sound and without distractions. It’s much more immersive and I’m always much more into the story being told.
Plus, the locations here in town are all very cosy and inspiring. You get to smell the popcorn. They sell great beer. And you get new ideas for what to watch next. And usually those cinemas are frequented by interesting folks, too.
A wonderful portrait of Florian “Doc” Kaps, who saved the last Polaroidfactory from being demolished and resurrecting Polaroid film. Thisdocumentary is mainly about this, but it’s also about his other projectsthat followed and all things analog and how and why it’s having acomeback.
I loved this and would easily watch this again. The only criticism Ihave is that the bit about Facebook should have been shorter – althoughI thought it’s ok to be in there.
And what a beautifully filmed ending, Barry Lyndon style.
Recently I didn’t listen to stuff I haven’t posted before. But now I’m rediscovering this gem. Listened to this quite a bit in the 2000s. It’s still fantastic! Great riffs, great sound, and the occasional absurd beast vocals that makes me happy here.

I accidentally rented this movie when we actually wanted to see thefirst one in the series. And since we had started this one already, weonly had 48 hours left to watch this second instalment.
And this wasn’t as good. Yes, it was (partly) funny (oh, boy, that scenewith Steve Carell “announcing” the weather!), but everything was justover the top. There were not many new ideas, instead everything frompart one was dialled up to 11, and it kind of gets on ones nerves.
Soundtrack was again pretty groovy, and the media criticism wasn’t bad,either.
I don’t even remember how or why we decided to watch this. But it wasactually quite funny. Easy to digest entertainment and some really funnyscenes. We enjoyed the soundtrack, too.
Stories mit Zeitreisen finde ich oft faszinierend. So auch hier. Dazu kommt noch ein klassisch philosophisches Thema und interessante Episoden-Geschichten und man kann mich begeistern.
Vielleicht kommen etwas zu viele Charaktere und Handlungsstränge vor – was der Autor aber sogar selbstironisch aufgreift – was dazu führt, dass die ein oder andere vielleicht etwas zu oberflächlich bleibt. Andererseits ergaben sich somit aber auch mehr interessante Gedankenspiele. Und clever geschrieben ist das Ganze sowieso.
Auf dem Umschlag steht, dass das Buch verfilmt wird. Dass es einen guten Film abgeben würde ist genau was ich gedacht habe während ich es las.
Empfehlenswert!
We all tested negative on Tuesday. And that means life for us is largely back to “normal” again. So far. It steel feels like things can change again at any minute. 🤷♂️
In other good news, my shoulder is constantly getting better and I can do most things without pain now.
Some interesting insights into how Kubrick worked, what he thought abouthis films and how they were made.
Made me want to (re)watch his movies.
