Never Is Too Late

Alone, you turn your head around. On your own, the order to the man, one strong drink. Searching for that question, To give yourself some reason To talk to a stranger.

Don't be afraid, we all need someone who is on our side. Some things must not wait, And a pledge short lived or long is all that's needed. Who'll help?

Don't isolate, if you see someone not dancing it's your fault. Never is too late. And a dance short lived or long is all that's needed. Who'll help this lonely one?

Move, direction seems unknown. Walk, another hour passed and still alone. Searching for that question, Looking for somebody, Trying to find that person ...

This Is Not A Joke

There's a danger zone, not a stranger zone than the little plot I walk on that I call my home. Full of eerie sights, weird and skeery sights ev'ry vicious animal that creeps and crawls and bites!

All the stalactites and vicious vertebrae hunt the stalagmites while laryngitis slay all that parasites that come from Paraguay in spring. Hmm, hmm hmmm.

Snarling equinox among the rocks will seize you. And the Fahrenheit comes out at night to freeze you. Wild duodenum are lurking in the trees and the jungle swarms with green apostrophes. Oh, the Amazon is calling me.

On the Amazon, the pax vobiscum bite. On the Amazon, the epiglottis fight. On the Amazon, the hemispheres at night all slink where the agnostics drink.

All the hippodromes that lie concealed in mud hunt the metronomes that live in swamp and flood. Then the kodachromes come out and drink their blood, poor ginks.

While velocipedes among the weeds will scare you and the menopause with hungry jaws ensnares you. Frenzied adenoids infest the hills and slopes. Everyone avoids the deadly stethoscopes.

Oh, the Amazon is calling Yes, the Amazon is calling Oh, the Amazon is calling me-ee!!

Shredded On Youtube

Kathryn Bigelow, 57, ex-wife of James Cameron and Mark Boal, independent journalist and writer have published a new opus. It goes by the name of "The Hurt Locker", has already experienced success at festivals in the US and Europe and is generally rather warmly welcomed by critique.

It is a movie about defusing bombs in Irak-e 'Arab. The short plot summary in the international movie database is, Iraq. Forced to play a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse in the chaos of war, an elite Army bomb squad unit must come together in a city where everyone is a potential enemy and every object could be a deadly bomb.

Wikipedia tells us that "The Hurt Locker was picked up by distributor Summit Entertainment. The film was released in the United States on June 26, 2009 in New York and Los Angeles. Based on the success of its limited run, the independent film received a more widespread theatrical release on July 24, 2009.

Quote: There's enough bang in there to blow us all to Jesus. If I'm gonna die, I want to die comfortable.

But our probable favourite quote from which we derived our headline will be the following. We cannont quote correctly yet, 'cause till now we have only read about it in german reviews, for example one in the print edition of Süddeutsche Zeitung and were not able to find the original in a quick search over the web.

In a tight defusing situation the three comrades the film is about see a bad man with a camera look at them from a minaret or so. Sniper Eldrige seems to have commented this like "o no, in a minute we'r gonna be shredded on Youtube.

We feel it is modern and pretty up to date for a film writer and a film directrice to think of such a thing. We also deem it might be nearly real, cause we know that US warships and off-country bases are equipped with internet and US navy and army specialists use the internet as often as they use the telly these days. Why should young Iraqis or Iranis not share their actions and geodata?

There are lots of reviews on the net and the english wikipedia article has got some links to the professional ones.

This movie is, or rather will be, a very smart construction about being very smart and being defensive. We're pretty sure it just leaves out the forwardly offensive part that is there irl, because the larger part of the US population prefers the thought and construct of being defensive over the thought of being in the lead and being responsible. N#We are held, never to forget, what America and the great Britain did and do in the Irak-e 'Arab is defending the freedom of the world.

Still it is to be hoped that the film's got enough bang to blow us all, if not to Jesus, then at least to two hours of passive unlimeted fun. We will go and watch.

Super Fun Hello Whore

Morgen spielt es zur Primetime in Sat 1 den Film, den ich Anfang 2006 unter dem Titel Wostok Women wenigstens teilweise ziemlich gelobt habe.

Ash Karreau dagegen hat das Werk unter dem obigen viel besseren Titel komplett zerrissen, was allerdings die Blattlinie von 16mm Shrine ist: "Also, they got Chinese actresses to play Japanese characters, when they should have gotten white people, because they can speak English."

Der Film ist, außer im einigen Momenten nicht so gut und in einigen ein fast so blöder Japanverstehfilm wie "The Last Samurai". Aber 3 der schönsten Frauen der Welt - wenigstens, wenn man die mandeläugigen mag, beim Spielen zuzuschauen, ist es wert, die Unterbrecherwerbung zu ertragen.

Und - "Memoirs of a Geisha" ist natürlich ein Frauen-Versteh-Film und Emanzipationsfilm und ganz sicher kein Japan-Versteh-Film. Das ist halt das Schicksal von führenden Klassen, dass sie peinlicherweise immer ihre eigene Entwicklungspsychologie für das Universum halten müssen.

Vorgeblich soll Herr Spielberg bei Drehbuch und Produktion mitgewirkt haben. Herr Geffen soll ihm abgeraten haben. Wer nicht ausgeht, dem empfehl ich ihn trotzdem. Schon wegen der Bitch-Fights.
