der spiegel about the movie "das weiße rauschen".
"optisch und akustisch hat weingartner den ausbruch der schizophrenie tatsächlich eindrucksvoll in szene gesetzt. durch die verwendung mehrerer handkameras, die sich ständig um den hauptdarsteller bewegen, überträgt sich lukas' körperliche bedrängnis unmittelbar auf den zuschauer.
fast noch quälender wirken die stimmen und geräusche, die nach und nach zu einem bedrohlichen sog anschwellen und lukas' kopf überschwemmen.
[...] der film weckt zumindest in der ersten hälfte die hoffnung, dass im deutschen kino ein sperriges thema auch einmal ohne falsches pathos umgesetzt werden könnte. doch genau dieser versuchung erliegt weingartner".
well, i think we just left the cinema in time, then.
today, breakfast with the sensomatics, a walk in the park, an obi g'spritzt at café sperlhof (a weird one, offering a thousand different board games), a visit at the mak (the graphic work of josef binder and margarete schütte-lihotzky's frankfurt kitchen) and a final melange at café prückl.
hey, this ain't no diary, dude!
update: flomatic subsequently delivered a photo report about what really happened in augarten.
on thursday the movie "brazil" crossed my way again. one of my first movies "in the big city" (ie. stuttgart). i think i was much too young to understand it but i am very thankful that i was taken to the cinema.
the guy who took me there died in a car accident a few years later. the movie and his person are ultimately related to each other in my memory.
ein schrecklicher tod, ein sonderbarer oder ein alberner tod.
coincidentally, textlab just has something about harry tuttle today.
something wicked this way comes: stefan pollach has made amazing improvements on the introspection application for helma. it's now possible to (re)start and stop applications from within the browser, take a look at users that are logged in, display an application's or the server's configuration properties and even read the source code of a helma app. all in a nicely done user interface. thank you, stefan!
microsoft thinks p3k is among the top three schizophrenic bloggers. that's why i like google.

gosh! textz.gnutenberg.net has an extraordinary collection of texts reaching from classic novels over politics to modern media theory: shakespeare, poe, kafka, wells, verne, adams, godard, foucault, baudrillard, adorno, meinhof, theweleit, blisset, grenzfurthner(!), barbrook, bey, lovink, kittler, etc. etc.
one also could say: <irony>all the important male theories (and some female poems)</irony>.
it's spam, bad and annoying and all that. but it's also smart shit: the urlgrey spam script.
comes into your mailbox and executes when you display it. a bloody mess to decrypt what it really does. at least sending some mails to a bunch of other people. and eventually you get the error receipts because they are undeliverable (the mails, not the people).
so better turn off the preview pane in microsoft's mail clients or even generally disable any script execution in your internet security settings (i won't write this twice).
or remember what john wayne used to say: no risk, no fun.
the langreitered news today: rebol goes java – or vice versa?
is it rebol loving month, or what?
