Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
The Oscars’ new clothes
Not only is this Oscar feature one of my all time favourite projects I’ve created for blick.ch, it is also the one that has seen the most redesigns over the years (next to the Super League Calculator).
And this week it finally got its React.js treatment. Explore all the nominations and winners of all the Annual Academy Awards since 1929 over at https://storytelling.blick.ch/infografik/2023/oscars-2023/ or https://www.blick.ch/interaktiv/interaktiv/interaktiv-die-oscars-id18264306.html
Die Kackwurstfabrik
Rating: 5
Durch die provokative Titelgebung setzen Marja Baseler und Annemarie van den Brink die Messlatte enorm hoch an. Auch die ebenso minimalistisch anmutenden wie detailverliebten Illustrationen von Tjarko van der Pol scheren sich kaum um Erwartungshaltungsmanagement – oder aber zeugen von einem gesunden Selbstverständnis gegenüber der eigenen Qualität.
Glücklicherweise zeigt sich schon auf den ersten paar Seiten, dass dieses Buch sämtliche Versprechen hält und weitaus mehr zu bieten hat als Schock-Value. Manchmal trivial, manchmal lehrreich – «Die Kackwurstfabrik» versteht es, zu unterhalten.
Niemals aber verschliessen sich die Autorinnen vor den unangenehmen Fragen und überraschen mit oft unerwarteten, manchmal ungemütlichen Antworten im Anhang.
Unser Essen hat verschiedene Farben. Warum ist Kacke trotzdem immer braun?
«Die Kackwurstfabrik» mag auf den Schultern von Klassikern des Genres wie «Vom kleinen Maulwurf, der wissen wollte, wer ihm auf den Kopf gemacht hat» (Holzwarth & Erlbruch, 1989) oder «Der Gasthof zum Harten Stuhl» (Bénédict, 2016) stehen, braucht aber den Vergleich nicht zu scheuen und beweist sich als eigenständiges, wichtiges Werk zeitgenössischer Buchkunst.

Thanoscopter
I can’t believe what I just found at my local Migros store: The Thanoscopter!
Let me elaborate:
- In the toy section of my local store I found…
- this Mattel / Hot Wheels toy…
- modelled after Thanos’ obscure helicopter…
- based on a 1979 comic-strip…
- last seen 2021 in a blink-and-you-miss-it easter egg in Marvels Disney+ show «Loki».
I’m amazed and happy at the same time how somehow this product found its way onto that shelf. And I’m even more surprised that I payed almost 13 francs for it.

Rating: 4
Avatar: The Way of Water is a highly anticipated sequel to the 2009 blockbuster hit Avatar. This film is a technical marvel, showcasing the latest advancements in filmmaking technology.
One of the most impressive aspects of this film is its high frame rate. This allows for a more immersive and realistic experience, as the action on screen appears more fluid and lifelike. The high frame rate also enhances the 3D effects, making them more effective and impactful.
The 3D in Avatar: The Way of Water is truly a sight to behold. The filmmakers use this technology to fully immerse the audience in the world of Pandora, creating a fully realized and believable alien world. The use of 3D also adds depth and dimension to the action scenes, making them more intense and exciting.
In addition to the technical achievements, Avatar: The Way of Water also features a strong and engaging story. The film continues the story of Jake Sully and his journey as a member of the Na’vi people, exploring themes of environmentalism and cultural understanding. The film also introduces new characters and storylines, adding complexity and depth to the world of Pandora.
Overall, Avatar: The Way of Water is a must-see film for any fan of the franchise or anyone interested in the latest advancements in filmmaking technology. The high frame rate and 3D effects truly enhance the viewing experience, making it a truly immersive and exciting cinematic experience.
