The Backend
Found a bidet in my hotel room, but I don’t now how to use it. There’s no manual.
I just remember that as a child, I used to drink from one of those, because it featured the most accessible faucet for me in the house back then (how delightful). I won’t do that today… Maybe next year…
Now off to The Tarantinos live in concert…
Finally a new, suitable wordpress theme for my blog: «Twenty Seventeen».
Thanks a lot to wordpress and all the kind contributors who are helping the web to remain an awesome place!
Note to self and to my two followers: The screenshot of the new design within the new design is more than confusing… sorry about that.
I laughed. I cried. I was fully satisfied. Pretty fu*king great movie! (With a tiny, minor issue I can’t mention right now.)
Full disclosure: I hold some shares of Disney stock: So do the sensible thing: Go see «Rogue One» and your money me you give!
Meanwhile, you might want to check out my interactive visualization of the Star Wars Universe.
With «Rogue One» hitting theaters this week, it’s time for the updated interactive guide to all the important Star Wars characters and how they’re interconnected: Check it out on Blick.ch/5877096

Die grosse Parlaments-Analyse auf Blick.ch.
Dominiert die bürgerliche Mehrheit das Parlament? BLICK hat alle Abstimmungen der laufenden Legislatur analysiert – mit klaren Ergebnissen. Aber auch die grössten Blaumacher, kategorischen Nein-Sager oder die ewig Unentschlossenen konnten aufgedeckt werden.
My very good friend and co-watcher (let’s call him «Valser-Boy») and I agreed even before the iTunes trailer ended: «High Rise» would be the chosen film of the evening. I think we both hoped it would be something in the likes of «Fight Club»*: Stylish, somewhat eery, visual stunning, hyperrealistic, violent and… good, maybe even outstanding.
Which it pretty much was,… until it wasn’t and became an awful, shallow but convuluted, and most important, boring comment on class war, with one hour runtime still to suffer through.
It felt as if its makers tried too hard to begin with, even succeeded, but then lost interest and just let it slide once they realized how thin their material was. (I guess – I haven’t read the book beforehand and I sure won’t do it now.)
If you should choose to watch «High Rise», do yourself a favour and quit in the middle, before you know what the whole thing really might be about. Because once you do, you’ll probably won’t care anymore and you’ll be just counting the minutes until this torture ends.
I guess «Valser-Boy» and I should’ve gone with the first movie we watched the (very uninspired) trailer of: «The Neon Demon».
I’ll keep you informed. Don’t call me, we’ll call you…
*) So you haven’t seen «Fight Club»? Oh, it’s nothing special, just one of the best f*cking movies ever made.
Die SP ist grüner als die Grünen
Das neue Parlament hat nicht viel mit der Natur am Hut, zeigt eine Studie der Umweltallianz. Nur jedem dritten Umweltanliegen stimmt es zu. Zudem zeigt sich: Die SP ist grüner als die Grünen.
