Jesus was a hippie and the devil is a punk! Check out this one from today's Guardian:

"Jesus 'healed using cannabis'

Jesus was almost certainly a cannabis user and an early proponent of the medicinal properties of the drug, according to a study of scriptural texts published this month. The study suggests that Jesus and his disciples used the drug to carry out miraculous healings.

The anointing oil used by Jesus and his disciples contained an ingredient called kaneh-bosem which has since been identified as cannabis extract, according to an article by Chris Bennett in the drugs magazine, High Times, entitled Was Jesus a Stoner? The incense used by Jesus in ceremonies also contained a cannabis extract, suggests Mr Bennett, who quotes scholars to back his claims.

"There can be little doubt about a role for cannabis in Judaic religion," Carl Ruck, professor of classical mythology at Boston University said.

Referring to the existence of cannabis in anointing oils used in ceremonies, he added: "Obviously the easy availability and long-established tradition of cannabis in early Judaism... would inevitably have included it in the [Christian] mixtures."

Mr Bennett suggests those anointed with the oils used by Jesus were "literally drenched in this potent mixture... Although most modern people choose to smoke or eat pot, when its active ingredients are transferred into an oil-based carrier, it can also be absorbed through the skin".

Quoting the New Testament, Mr Bennett argues that Jesus anointed his disciples with the oil and encouraged them to do the same with other followers. This could have been responsible for healing eye and skin diseases referred to in the Gospels.

"If cannabis was one of the main ingredients of the ancient anointing oil... and receiving this oil is what made Jesus the Christ and his followers Christians, then persecuting those who use cannabis could be considered anti-Christ," Mr Bennett concludes.

The guy who wrote "High Fidelity" and "About a Boy" is well known for creating lists like "1o bands to enjoy while having sex in the woods" etc. Since music is not enough, he wrote a piece called "Graphic Novels Speak Louder Than Words" for the New York Times. Just in case you need people like him to tell you what comics to buy.

You might rather prefer a new movie by Cheech & Chong, but Quentin Tarantino strikes back with his fourth movie and it looks really great. Kill Bill is an adaption of all movies of the Martial Arts-genre and some of the stuff in the trailer is just breathtaking. I mean, I don't see no wires here, but there must be wires somewhere! Another sort of definite look at an undead genre which has gotten a lot of attention lately with "Tiger & Dragon" and retro in general. Tarantino does it again. There's nothing cooler than Bruce Lee in "Enter the Dragon" or Jackie Chan doing what he does best and what films were invented for. Compared to things that have been done in Hong Kong-movies the past twenty years, a movie like "Spider-Man" is a complete joke. Or look at the cheesy "let's jump off a roof"-scenes in "Matrix"! It's all just plastic, popcorn, computer-gimmicks and action-figures jumping off roofs inside a computer. Yawn! Look at Jackie Chan, Andy Lau or Samo Hung? Do you think you could replace them easily with some CGI-action figure like you can replace Schwartzenegger with a piece of cardboard and nobody will know the difference? Do you really think so???

Asian cinema has always been filmmaking at it's very best. Sometimes they might lack the money Hollywood throws into a production like this, but asian cinema is a labour of love and not a sheme to sell a lot of toys.

You know what, Hollywood, take all the plush-dolls for the next couple of Star Wars-, Spider-Man- or Men in Black-movies and shove them up your asses really slow. Hmmm... Feels good, eh?

Als Berliner hat man es gut. Man weiß um die Vorzüge der Metropole, die man als Wohnsitz auserkoren hat und denkt meist nicht weiter darüber nach. Leben ist eine erfüllende Sache, wenn man sich nicht von den essentiellen Dingen ablenken lässt und in Berlin lässt sich etwaigen Störenfrieden dabei leicht aus dem Wege gehen. Steht man in der U-Bahn und eine Ansammlung angetrunkener Schwaben oder froh gelaunter Rheinländer auf Betriebsausflug fragt nach dem Weg zum Bahnhof Zoo, tut man einfach so als würde man die Frage nicht verstehen und sagt etwas in der Art von "nix verstehen Deutsch". Die meisten germanischen Touristen auf Gruppenreise sehen sich dann in der Annahme bestätigt, daß Berlin halt ein Dschungel sei und man eventuell doch besser nicht am Kottbusser Tor umsteigen sollte. Der Westdeutsche hat sich im Laufe der Jahre ein festes Bild von dieser sonderbaren Stadt gemacht und man tut gut daran dieses stets zu untermauern. Hinweise darauf, daß der Berliner an sich dauernd Fassbrause und Berliner Weiße in sich reinschüttet, man Kreuzberg nur mit der Kettensäge betreten sollte und auf dem Kuhdamm einfach immer superviel los ist, stoßen beim Westdeutschen stets auf großes Interesse. So hat er sich das vorgestellt. Wenn diese Trampel sich am Ende ihres Aufenthalts in der großen, bösen Stadt noch schnell ein T-Shirt der beliebten Kette im Hard Rock Cafe zulegen können, kann man sicher sein, sie so schnell nicht wieder sehen zu müssen. Hard Rock Cafe-Shirt ist wie früher diese Plaketten an den Wanderstöcken. Gesehen, abgehakt und tschüß.

So sind sie alle, diese Westdeutschen, die einem im fortgeschrittenen Alter gern zu Tränen rührende Geschichten auftischen wie das mit der Mauer war und dann kommt natürlich auch noch das mit Kennedy und wie dankbar man als Wessi für die Stationierung amerikanischer Mittelstreckenraketen sein sollte. Die Hauptstadt wird gnadenlos akzeptiert. Viel zu lange litt der Westdeutsche an seinem Minderwertigkeitskomplex, nur eine provisorische Hauptstadt zu haben. Und mal ehrlich, wer fuhr als Tourist schon groß nach Bonn?

Das ist jetzt natürlich schon viel geiler, wo man auf den Reichstag klettern und in richtig echte Polizeisperren wegen irgendwelcher Staatsbesuche geraten kann. Da weht der Wind der großen weiten Welt und das kann man in Bad Godesberg nicht im gleichen Stil veranstalten. Das sieht der Wessi ein. Lediglich die Münchener haben plötzlich ein Problem.

Sitzt man so friedlich im Kaffe Burger, umgeben von versoffenen amerikanischen Schriftstellern, einem iranisch-irischen Crash-Unternehmer, dessen lautstarken Freunden und einer schwer merkwürdigen Mischpoke aus Künstlern, russischen Rockstars, Spinnern und Verirrten. Das Bier ist preiswert, irgendwo raucht jemand Haschisch und auf der Bühne flackern die Seiten eines Comicalbums als Diashow mit krachiger Soundkulisse. Man feiert ein neues Jahr und alles ist gut, relaxt und niemand wollt etwas Böses ahnen.

Geht die Tür auf und zwei schicke Münchener torkeln rein. Der Eintrittspreis erscheint ihnen zu billig und das abgerissene Interieur der Ossi-Kaschemme scheint ihnen zunächst suspekt. Kaum haben sie ein Bier, labern sie einen auch schon voll und sprechen dabei Werber-Deutsch mit Begriffen wie "stylish", "trendy" oder "angesagt". Und dann sind sie entsetzt, daß man gern in dieser Stadt lebt und München für langweilig hält.

Schon quatschen sie sich einem an der Schulter fest und dann werden sie wieder ausgepackt, die touristischen Vorzüge der Kleinstadt mit U-Bahn. Als wäre jeder Münchener das Fremdenverkehrsamt. Man kann rund um München ganz toll skilaufen, wird gesagt. Aha! Als würde das irgend einen normalen Menschen interessieren.
Danach kommt dann die Sache mit dem Glamour. Wenn doch immer alles so cool ist in Berlin, müßte man das doch auch draußen dran schreiben, Backstage-Ausweise verteilen und gleich die Presse anrufen. Das versteht der Münchener nicht.

Die haben da so ein Image-Problem und klammern sich verzweifelt daran, daß München sich selbst bereits zur Weltstadt ausgerufen hat als die Mauer noch stand. Mit allerlei Budenzauber versucht man nun sich egomäßig neben dem alten Preußen-Koloß zu behaupten. Dinge wie der bayrische Filmpreis werden mit rotem Teppich zum Welt-Ereignis stilisiert, das Okotberfest wird zum Schaulaufen, die abgelegten Freundinnen von Boris Becker und eine Armee von Viva-Barbies gehen als Prominente durch. Sehr albern. Ich hab nichts gegen Bayern, aber ich würd nie nach München ziehen.

Und sie kapieren tatsächlich nicht, warum man das doof und überflüssig findet. Sie wollen den roten Teppich und einen extra abgeteilten Tanzbereich für Wichtige mit Wimpel. Die Frage ist nur, was will man als Münchener dann überhaupt in Berlin?

Wo man in München die Saubermann-Ästhetik feiert, gefällt sich der Berliner in seinem sumpfigen Eintopf aus Pleiteprojekten, Second Hand und Abrisshäusern. Aus den Galerien schwappt dabei eine langweilige Kunst, die jedes Lebenszeichen auf Leinwand schon deswegen als großes Ereignis zelebriert weil man dann auf einer Gästeliste stehen kann und Backstage-Bier saufen kann. Ohne DJ und Sektchen keine Party und keine Kunst. Dit is halt so. Und wer sich da alles so seit Jahren im subkulturellen Saft dreht, tut dies oftmals nur noch aus Karriere-Gründen. "Was soll ich mir denn da in meinem Lebenslauf unter Erfahrungspunkte aufschreiben," wird man dann gefragt. Kultur als Soundtrack zur Lebenseinstellung, wie dereinst im Hardcore-Milieu agitiert, funktioniert auch nur noch sehr bedingt und wer will schon den ganzen Tag Crustpunk hören oder Erik Drooker lobpreisen...

Dafür ist man ja zum Glück erwachsen, aber ein wenig mehr politisches Fundament täte den all den Huren, Strichern, Funktionären und Groupies der Berliner Kultur-Landschaft mal wieder ganz gut im Gesicht. Die sind ja auch immer alle so blaß weil sie tagsüber schlafen müßen. Morgens mal ein paar Kniebeugen machen, die Interim abonnieren, dann klappt's auch mit dem Image.

Mr.Empire an's Telefon!

Gestern spielten auch Britta in der Volksbühne für 15€. Viele fanden das zu teuer und es roch schwer nach Lehrer-Party am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz. Der Preis wurde damit gerechtfertigt, daß der Adelige Dirk von Tocotronic auf einem Kamm blasen sollte und auch sonst allerhand Gäste sowieso umsonst rein durften weil sie ebenfalls auf dem Plakat standen. Zusammen mit dem Rest der Gästeliste ist der Puff dann auch sicher schnell voll gewesen und niemand hat wirklich Geld verdient. Total unkommerziell an sich. Weil Blitzeis war, konnte man aber eh nur unter Einsatz seines Lebens das Lokal wechseln und so blieb man im Burger, wo es dann noch hieß, wir müßen am 18.1. alle ganz viel demonstrieren oder am 27.1. geht der Krieg los weil Bushie da seine Rede halten tut. Der Papst und Doris ihr Mann haben auch tolle Reden gehalten weil ja Neujahr war. Der Gerd hat ganz ernst geguckt. Demnächst gibt es bestimmt wieder große Veranstaltungen, wo der Gerd mit Marius Westermüller zusammen die totale Solidarität einfordert und jede Menge Spenden im Fernsehen gesammelt werden. Wird es um neue Fluten gehen? Flut hat's ja voll gebracht im letzten Jahr. Super Bilder und toll zum menscheln weil die Bundeswehr keine Zeit mehr für so was hat wenn der Bürger bis zum Hals im Schlamm steht. Da kommt die Solidarität von ganz allein auf und der Gerd kann sich freuen.

Ganz lustig eigentlich auch, der Steuersong vom Gerd. Schon allein weil es den Gerd wohl geärgert hat. Das geht den Hafensängern der Deutschen Weltstadt-Kultur ja mittlerweile völlig ab. Nicht immer nur braver, rationaler Bürger sein und was von Vernunft faseln. Wolkenkuckucksheim steht in Flammen, Freunde. Das System braucht neuen Schmierstoff um die Illusion von seiner allgemein gültigen Gerechtigkeit weiter aufrecht zu halten. Es wird in diesem Jahr noch mehr Propaganda geben. Ich höre jetzt schon Menschen diese Sachen sagen, die sie morgens in der Zeitung gelesen haben. "Damit es nicht am Thema fehlt", wie es Abwärts formulierten. Der nicht ganz so nahe Osten wird einem aus der Sicht der Jungs von Focus erklärt. Fehlt nur noch, daß die Leute sich die Info-Graphiken ausschneiden und mit in die Kneipe schleppen...

Baghdad's uncensored report to UN names Western companies alleged to have developed its weapons of mass destruction. by Tony Paterson , The Independent (UK), 18 December, 2002

"Iraq's 11,000-page report to the UN Security Council lists 150 foreign companies, including some from America, Britain, Germany and France, that supported Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction programme, a German newspaper said yesterday. Berlin's left-wing Die Tageszeitung newspaper said it had seen a copy of the original Iraqi dossier which was vetted for sensitive information by US officials before being handed to the five permanent Security Council members two weeks ago. An edited version was passed to the remaining 10 members of the Security Council last night.

British officials said the list of companies appeared to be accurate. Eighty German firms and 24 US companies are reported to have supplied Iraq with equipment and know-how for its weapons programmes from 1975 onwards and in some cases support for Baghdad's conventional arms programme had continued until last year.

It is not known who leaked the report, but it could have come from Iraq. Baghdad is keen to embarrass the US and its allies by showing the close involvement of US, German, British and French firms in helping Iraq develop its weapons of mass destruction when the country was a bulwark against the much feared spread of Iranian revolutionary fervour to the Arab world.

The list contained the names of long-established German firms such as Siemens as well as US multi-nationals. With government approval, Siemens exported machines used to eliminate kidney stones which have a "dual use" high precision switch used to detonate nuclear bombs. Ten French companies were also named along with a number of Swiss and Chinese firms. The newspaper said a number of British companies were cited, but did not name them.

"From about 1975 onwards, these companies are shown to have supplied entire complexes, building elements, basic materials and technical know-how for Saddam Hussein's programme to develop nuclear, chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction," the newspaper said. "They also supplied rockets and complete conventional weapons systems," it added.

The five permanent members of the Security Council -- the United States, Britain, Russia, France and China -- have repeatedly opposed revealing the extent of foreign companies' involvement, although a mass of relevant information was collected by UN weapons inspectors who visited the country between 1991 and 1998. The UN claims that publishing the extent of the companies' involvement in Iraq would jeopardise necessary co-operation with such firms.

German involvement outstripped that of all the other countries put together, the paper said. During the period to 1991, the German authoritiespermitted weapons co-operation with Iraq and in some cases "actively encouraged" it, according to the newspaper which cited German assistance allegedly given to Iraq for the development of poison gas used in the 1988 massacre of Kurds in northern Iraq. It said that after the massacre America reduced its military co-operation with Iraq but German firms continued their activities until the Gulf War.

Die Tageszeitung quoted sources close to the US Vice President, Dick Cheney, as saying the Bush administration was hoping to prove a German company was continuing to co-operate with the Iraqi regime over the supply of equipment allegedly useful in the construction of weapons of mass destruction.

American weapons experts have recently voiced concern that the German Government has permitted Siemens to sell Baghdad at least eight sophisticated medical machines which contain devices that are vital for nuclear weapons. The machines, known as "lithotripters", use ultrasound to destroy kidney stones in patients. However, each machine contains an electronic switch that can be used as a detonator in an atomic bomb, according to US experts. Iraq was reported to have requested an extra 120 switches as "spare parts" during the initial transaction.

The delivery of the machines was approved by the European Commission and the UN because sanctions against Iraq do not apply to medical equipment. Siemens and the German Government have insisted that the machines, which are being used in northern Iraq under a World Health Organisation programme, cannot be used to make nuclear weapons.

"Pepsi-Cola Co.'s latest grab for our consumer small change may be coming in the form of a cosmic reality TV show. According to inside leaks to the ad-industry press, the company is currently in negotiations with the Russian Space Agency to buy a seat for an upcoming voyage into orbit. Executives at the company are proposing a program that would see contestants competing for a spot on a future Soyuz shuttle mission scheduled for sometime in 2004. The price tag for the expedition? An estimated $15 million for the ticket and another $10-20 million to promote the event.

If Pepsi follows through, it's in part because Coca-Cola raised the bar this year for corporate television sponsorship. Their success with the Fox hit American Idol could have TV viewers everywhere watching more and more hour-long product pitches weakly disguised as entertainment.

Pepsi's latest twist has its roots in other out-of-this-world marketing campaigns. In 1996, the Russians and Americans were enmeshed in a kind of capitalist star wars. As NASA's space shuttle Endeavor installed a Coca-Cola beverage dispenser for their crew, Pepsi-Cola was shooting the first zero-gravity commercial at the Russian Mir space station. (The ad featured space-walking cosmonauts and a four-foot-high replica of a Pepsi can.) Pizza Hut got in on the action a few years later when its logo tagged the side of a Russian rocket destined for the final frontier. With nowhere left to escape to, this could be the first sure proof that in space, nobody can hear you scream."

The Washington Post reported that the infamous clone-baby, bred by a bunch of people believing in little gray men from outer space, has been brought home.
Why does the media still pretend this is a real story even though it's obviously a hoax? Last year, Clonaid wanted to bring Hitler back from the dead to put him on trial. How can anyone take these people serious?

"Clonaid is likely a fraud, respecting its cloning, since the Raelians (followers of Rael, a 'contactee' with 'aliens') are a fraud in all other respects--well, they are authentic one way, they're an authentic cult. If they did clone a child it will have birth defects, and thus it was very irresponsible of them. But as they are liars, self deceivers who worship a liar and a self deceiver, they probably have cloned no one, and are just pretending in order to raise more cash with their immortality/cloning snake oil. Flying saucer Believers are fixated on the alien presence because they are afraid of death. It has been many times observed that aliens are today's fairies, or angels; they stand in for religion for people who've lost religion but still need it psychologically. (I am a person who believes there's a spiritual reality but have lost all 'faith' as it were in organized religion, although I think it had its uses for awhile.)

Freddie Frinton alias Butler James is back in the one and only "Dinner for One" which has become a New Years-Eve-tradition all over the world. Even though it has been shown over and over, the author, Laurie Wylie, never made a dime off the play. And Frinton got 3527 Deutschmarks he had to share with his partner May Warden playing Miss Sophie. That was in 1963 when "Dinner for One" was shot in Hamburg. By now it's the tv-production which has seen the most reruns in the history of the medium.

Got back to the lab on sunday. Almost to late to feed the monsters. Had some difficulties with the trains and all that. The German Bahn has introduced a new system and no one understands it. Not even the folks working behind the counters of the Bahn. Hard-working scientists like myself have no time for this monkey-business! Get it on, Deutsche Bahn! Spent a few days in Hamburg. Dangerous place. I got into a riot while doing christmas-shopping. Members of the political left played cat and mouse with the cops. The servants of the state arrested everyone who didn't run away. All of this in a shopping-mall on the last saturday before christmas. Hell's lobby! I had a few drinks over the holidays. Met with a bunch of my fellow explorers of the unknown in Hamburg and Bremen. Terrible weather! We got ice-rain for days and trains got stuck in the middle of nowhere for up to 16 hours. The Bahn again! Stupid idiots!

Bremen was fun. They changed the law considering the opening of even more bars in the amusent-district. New places popping up everywhere. Most of them filled with the usual scumbags listening to lame old punkrock from 1978. Nice new bar called Urlaub and another new punkbar called Dschungel is just next door of the infamous Capri Bar. Eastern punkrock-idol Shakey has also opened a bar called Die kleine Kneipe. Following the Rum Bumpers, the Heartbreak Hotel, the legendary Eisen, the Schänke and the good old Lehmans, Bremen truly is the capitol of punk considering the importance of the drinking-part within the genre.

The boys and girls of the Chaos Computer Club were over here for the week-end. A lot of interesting new shit. They showed me how easy it is to get into the computers of the Deutsche Bahn and look at people's bonus-miles (damned Bahn again!). Then there's the new line of implementing sniffing bloodhounds right within the chips of the next generation of hardware. Smart people will start to use only old computer-equipment in a while.

These young people, it makes an old man cry. All that enthusiasm, all these conspiray-theories, all these nerds! Started working on Kong. Hm, no news I can reveal yet. Gotta talk to the guys upstairs first. Uploaded old files to a new site at Renderosity which will be the new Mad Science.Net - Gallery for this and that.

About time to vote for all these best movies and records of 2003. I'd say, the Pianist and Bowling for Columbine and a big hand the Eminem Show. Best site would be the one with all the toy robots Then I'd vote for Boy from Brazil in the newcomer-department and I'd throw a pile of shit at George Lucas. Besides that we had this thing called Bastard Pop which one of my dear co-workers plays when he wears his secret identity DJ MP3.Let three records play a t the same time and fuck around with the volume to get a idea. It sounds like bad cooking, but it's what young people are into nowadays. Then a lot of people got excited about this Electroclash, which sounds like warmed-over EBM and Jamie Lydell is supposed to be the new messiah. A lot of people say this now, but it was my dear friend Mr.Darius James who said it first. It was at Jamie's birthday at the Gorgonzola Club where Mr.James stood on his chair. He called Jamie the messiah of funk and all kinds of other things. Then he yelled around a little bit more and after a while he fell asleep. His dentist had to drive him home.

Someone should do something about all these cannibals. Can't we have a war on cannibals like we have a war on drugs and terrorists and all that? I'm much more scared of cannibals who wanna eat my penis than of drugs or some lunatic with a bomb.

I got a call by Mr.Raff from New York while I was still in bed. He said he'd plan to move his ass to Berlin as well in August next year. Meanwhile it looks like an exodus with all these American intellectuals moving to European capitols. Makes you think.

This guy is the man. Just ask Frankie of Leatherface. This is the real voice of German punk. I've following this guy for 15 years now and he's still the best at what he does.

Hallelujah, the trailer for this rumble royale is finally here and the website is open (some nice wallpapers to scare your little sister!) This is another one I have to see even though it might suck. Make that "CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT!" Jason Voorhees, everyone's favourite slasher from the Friday the 13th-movies teams up with Freddy Krueger, the king of nightmares and star of the "Nightmare on Elmstreet"-series. This project has been in the making for years and I don't know what took them so long, but the movie is in post-production (see link below for the first pictures) and it has Keley Rowland of Destiny's Child in it

This is gonna be the first movie which combines two succesful licenses which have gotten kind of lame. But seeing these guys kill each other is something no serious horror-fan can dare to miss. "Freddy vs.Jason" aka. "The Friday the 13th Nightmare" or whatever it's gonna be called might make way for more projects like that. "Superman/Batman" is on the way already and "Aliens vs.Predator" has been talked over and over after the comic-book and the video-game raised millions of dollars. We're living in a fan-culture after all and legions of nerds will bite their nails to see shit like "Vampirella vs. Blade" (hey, Hollywood, I just came up with that one, but doesn't it sound great? Gimme some money and go ahead with it!). I wonder if they do a sequel of "Freddy vs. Jason" and this movie is only the beginning of another long line of boring follow-ups. Then again you can still do "Nightmare on Halloween" first. You can't match "Friday the 13th" and "Halloween", eh? Too bad those guys are stuck with their special slasher-days!

But it sounds like "Freddy vs.Jason" is going to be a fun surreal movie. No official homepage yet, but Robert Englund who play old pizzaface has made a few remarks here and there.

"I always thought the real trick of 'Freddy vs. Jason' [is that] you had to get into Jason's nightmares. We've got to see what makes Jason tick. In this movie we get in there. And Freddy's walking around in there, getting his feet dirty. And it's pretty sick stuff...Freddy's at loose ends to get people afraid of him anymore, [because] if you don't dream, Freddy can't hurt you. Freddy's trying to regenerate himself and he's using Jason to instill fear in the relatives of the offspring of the original Elm Street vigilantes. Freddy needs to manipulate Jason, and when he's in the dreams he can. What happens is that Freddy creates a Frankenstein. ... Freddy kind of spoils him, gives him a little too much dog food and he kind of turns on his master. And that's the gist of the plot watching the carnage unfold as Freddy and Jason wreak havoc. Now it's [like the TV show] 'Millennium' - serial-killer creepy. It's Freddy's scrapbook. It's what Freddy was doing [in the boiler room] before they threw the Molotov cocktails. I'm also going to do this scene right when he gets off with the hung jury, when my lawyer gets me off"

That friendly weblog Joblo.com
also managed to get a short interview with Robert Englund. Here's an excerpt:

"It's like some gorgeous, twisted, violent Dutch comic book you know-- Asian, Cyber Japanese Cyber Punk, illustrated comic book with Scorsese camera angles, Orson Wells camera angles and film noir style...it's REALLY interesting! There's also lots of different colors plays, kind of like Paul Schrader's style. It's just really a great classy, violent popcorn movie. I've been calling it a gourmet popcorn that's spelled...G-O-R-E. Englund also dropped a hint about "Freddy meeting baby Jason" in the film, and when prodded about how many "old school" fans are afraid that the new film is basically gonna sell out to the new generation, Englund replied: "Freddy is less funny (here)...and there's more violence and more twisted shit in this film than in the last 4 Freddy movies."

MTV has also done a report:

"Lights are flashing, techno's pumping and girls are wearing very little. That familiar "choo-choo, ha-ha" whisper is heard as Jason appears — on the dance floor. Opting not to cut a rug, he cuts the rave party short instead, hacking apart the kids and halving the keg with his machete.

"Now it's [like the TV show] 'Millennium' — serial-killer creepy," he promised. "It's Freddy's scrapbook. It's what Freddy was doing [in the boiler room] before they threw the Molotov cocktails. I'm also going to do this scene right when he gets off with the hung jury, when my lawyer gets me off. I'm trying to get a suit for Freddy. I see him as being kind of like a rockabilly Lee Harvey Oswald." quoted from full story at mtv.com
