STAR WARS as a Chart
Sorry STAR WARS fans, I couldn’t resist…
Computers in real life are boring. Even Apple computers. You sit there all day, use your mouse, hit your keyboard and wait. Perhaps this is the reason why computers and especially human computer interactions look so much cooler in movies (the other reason would be the total lack of knowledge regarding our electronic friends).
Regardless of the reasons I am a movie freak so I immediately remembered all those movie moments with all kinds of uber-cool computer screens and interactions – and tried to imitate them in real life during my Wordpress update.
Of course, I failed miserably. But that doesn’t stop me from writing the dream of
how the update of this blog to Wordpress 2.7 would have looked like in a movie…

Ode to the Critic
Oh Critic, how are you fine.
you make me smile, you make me whine.
Whenever I search in the darkest night
you come along and shine a light.
You teach me idiot with high class
what to watch and what to pass.
You talk and write and foam and scream
about some things that seem so gleam.
Your opinion, that’s for sure
is the best, so clean, so pure.
So we shut up and don’t object,
because we are nothing, we are abject.
And in the end when all is read
we know one thing: you are the Critic. You are the head.
3 Dec 2008 The Movie & Me
Made for those moments
Sometimes it is amazing what you can experience in a movie theater.
Many times I remember more that happened besides the movie than the movie itself. In fact this happens most of the time (which is no good sign for the industry). The whole experience of an evening you spend with your friends in a building constructed solely for that purpose is something you never can truly recreate in your home.
And besides the whole atmosphere there are sometimes moments which are simply crazily funny. It’s like watching THE TOWERING INFERNO in a skyscraper at night – alone.
Even the Chinese dictatorship cannot prevent bad taste. Or they simply don’t care as long as it’s about love.
Either way: thanks to their We-Don’t-Care-attitude you can now watch an epic Chinese love song you have never seen before. Be warned, though: I cannot guarantee your safety:
