POPCULTURE:

AUSTRALIAN CHIEF JUSTICE QUOTES JUDGE DREDD: "I AM THE LAW"

Unbelievable story in the Sydney Morning Herald: "Robert French is unapologetically bringing a touch of Hollywood to the High Court of Australia. Not the gargantuan budgets - he is uncomfortable with the rising cost of justice - but the popular culture of Harry Potter, The Simpsons and even the sci-fi future justice of Judge Dredd."

Via Io9 - Judge Dredd Inspires A Different Kind Of Australian Justice:

New Chief Justice Robert French, a self-confessed science fiction fan, tells the Sydney Morning Herald about his recent speech where he inserted clips of the Judge Dredd movie:

I was quoting Montesquieu about separation of powers and how when you combine the functions of judge and executive, you get a tyrant. And I suggested here's a Hollywood picture of what this looks like and it's Sylvester Stallone as Judge Dredd saying 'I am the law,' " he says in chambers on the ninth floor of the High Court building in Canberra.

You want a soundtrack with that? Try Anthrax - I Am the Law (Live 2005)

CLIVE BARKER ABOUT RATINGS

"It’s one of the most disgusting developments in the last few years; the whole notion of a PG-13 horror movie to me is a contradiction in terms," he said. "It’s like having a XXX Disney picture. It doesn’t work."

Philipp Lenssen writes "Google announced their very own browser project called Google Chrome — an announcement in the form of a comic book drawn by Scott McCloud, no less. Google says Google Chrome will be open source, include a new JavaScript virtual machine, include the Google Gears add-on by default, and put the tabs above the address bar (not below), among other things.

BOOKS:

PORN & PONG

This sounds like an interesting book. The Homepage says: "In 'Porn & Pong: How Grand Theft Auto, Tomb Raider and Other Sexy Games Changed Our Culture' (September 2008, Feral House), Playboy Magazine journalist Damon Brown spent five years exploring how the $20 billion video game industry traces our evolution in sexual mores, technological dependence and personal interaction.

The VCR and the dawn of the modern porn industry parallels the first Atari systems, Reality TV skyrocketed the same year as The Sims, and the surgically-endowed Pamela Anderson was only outshined by one other woman: Lara Croft. In one of the most stimulating moments, Brown examines Presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton’s 2005 tirade against Grand Theft Auto, and how politics, hidden agendas and financial pressure affect all controversial art forms."

BOOKS:

FLASH FICTION

MEDIA:

I'VE BEEN RICKROLLED!

The Rickroll Internet Phenomenon (as described by Wikipedia): "In 2007 Rick Astley became the subject of a viral Internet meme in which an estimated 25 million Internet users were tricked into watching the video for Rick Astley's 'Never Gonna Give You Up' by posting it under the name of other popular video titles. The practice is now known as Rickrolling. The phenomenon became so popular that on April 1, 2008, YouTube pranked the Internet community by making every single video link on the front page a Rickroll."

MUSIC:

CHEUNDERGROUND - SAN DIEGO PUNK FROM THE 80S

Wired: "The music that brought them together remains one of most powerful elements on the Che Underground site. MP3s created from dusty, one-of-a-kind cassette tapes, live bootlegs and unreleased demo recordings pepper the site. And this is truly vital music, combining a punk vision -- still fresh in '83 -- with a warped version of '60s garage and British invasion bands."

  • Some really cool stuff!

BERLIN:

WOCHENENDE ANDERER LEUTE

Schmolly comes to town! Wir reichen den Flyer weiter . Es wird Geschichte in Tüten gemacht bis es voran geht:

30.08. Mash-Up Your Bootz feat. DJ SCHMOLLI // Österreichs greatest Mash-Up Exportschlager zu Gast in Berlin @ U5-Club 13.09. Invade The City feat. MUYB @ o25, Frankfurt 19.09. MUYB @ Bootie NYC, New York City 27.09 MUYB @ Bootie SF, San Francisco

MySpacerei oder Schmollyblog, get the best party-mushy-mashy we could possibly get this weekend yourself.

  • Vorher startet die Band, die gestern noch vor Iggy Pop beschert hat und nach eigener Aussage "gut" gewesen ist, im guten, alten "White Trash", wo der gute, alte Wally hoffentlich wieder von seinen Verletzungen genesen ist (die Boulevard-Presse berichtete!) Wir wollen nichtmal den Namen sagen. Weil, das haben die nicht nötig. Da sagen wir mal, geht da mal hin, Kinder, da ist was los. Quentin kommt auch.

Sonntag treffen sich dann alle gut draufen KreuzbergerInnen und solche, die es werden wollen, lesbisch, behindert, mit Kohleofen oder Lebensentwurf, zunächst natürlich pünktlich bei der Eröffnung der neuen Ausstellung über Wagenbewohner im guten, alten Kreuzberg Museum. Tarantino, Rirkrit und Brad Pitt wollen auch kommen.

Danach geht es zügig rüber in's Kreuzberger Freiluftkino, wo der Zombie-Film von Bruce LaBruce (brauchen wir gar nicht den Namen sagen! Quentin ist ein Riesenfan....) zur Aufführung kommen wird und den Rest kann man sich denken.
