I saw Valerie of Noblesee Oblige perform at "Schokoladen" on Sunday. Incredible! Check out those MySpaces and add them to one of your many calendars!

The lady in her own words: "I am a performer, director, maker of theatre, live art, cabaret, film and half of NOBLESSE OBLIGE (that's my band!) . I am French but spent half my life in London and made my Berlin theatrical debut at The Hebbel Theatre. I trained with Phillippe Gaulier. I performed with Pacitti Company, Marisa Carnesky, Clod Ensemble, Gary Stevens, Joshua Sofaer, La Ribot, Song Theatre. I have hosted cabaret nights at the Whoopee Club and Hoxton Bark (London)."

At least I'm not sick anymore...!

Reuters: Gloomy Germans cheer up at Berlin film festival : "Gloomy German films about serial rapists, exorcism, left-wing guerrillas, Nazi villains, Stasi oppression, depressed people and other difficult subjects have often been selected by Berlin Film Festival organisers, giving the world a rather bleak look at the host country."

-BWAH HA HA HA!

That hat makes you look like a smurf!

I changed your old entry, dude!

Give the guy a golden bear!

Diesen mächtigen Kampfruf erstmals selbst einer bürgerlichen Radfahrerin an den Kopf gedonnert, die in falscher Richtung ordnungswidrig den Gehsteig runterfuhr um sich zwischendurch lautstark über im Weg stehende Jugendliche mit Migrationshintergrund zu beschweren.

Und wer zumindest seine Muttersprache lesen kann, lernt später vielleicht auch Deutsch. Da mögen sich die Tanten von den "Grünen" bitte mit beschäftigen und bitte möglichst bald die Vorzeige-Mettwurst aus dem Fernsehen entfernen.

Weil, soll noch einer sagen, die RAF hätte heute keine Ziele mehr...

The Rolling Stones were on "Abendschau" last night. They were interviewed by Ulli "Gummi" Zelle, the man who gets me through the high times, the low times and the all the times in between. Who did he bribe to get that spot in the front door?! Congratulations, Herr Zelle! Well done!

Check out the video on Abendschaublog to get a taste of german television the way it really is. This is not a comedy program. It's da real shit!

Best episode of "Abendschau" ever!

Forget about "War of the Worlds"! Read this incredible story in "Manitoba History", Number 13 "The idea was to stage a fake Nazi invasion of Manitoba. The “Nazis” were to occupy and administer the province for the rest of the day. The key was realism. One couldn’t ignore these Nazis any more than real ones. (...) It was an incredibly realistic invasion, yet, aside from a soldier who sprained his ankle and a Miss Gorin who cut her thumb in her blacked-out apartment, there were no casualties. (...) Official 'laughing classes' were to be set up as soon as possible to better instruct the population in German humour. "

-Rob Zombie wants to remake "Conan". Sigh! -Evil people want to remake "Nightmare on Elmstreet" without Robert Englund. Makes you wanna cry. -"Fight Club" goes Broadway. Everything becomes a Musical ten years later. It's a shame.

Schreibt jetzt für die "B.Z." Und auch nicht besonders gut. Was'n Abstieg.

In case you couldn't get any tickets to see The Rolling Stones at the Berlinale tonight:

Stones '72 tour exposed - With the release of their definitive album Exile on Main Street, the Stones sought to document their own burgeoning celebrity and self-mythology by hiring renowned photographer /filmmaker Robert Frank (known for his documentary study of madness Me and My Brother as well as the brilliant cover photography for Exile itself). The resulting movie was at once so dreamy and harsh -- crowded with scenes of the Stones nodding out, roadies balling groupies, and assorted tour hangers-on shooting up -- that the band refused to permit its release. Eventually Frank secured right to screen it once a year, but it has only appeared on video in bootleg form. (Marshall Crenshaw, Hollywood Rock)

Genosse Stone, das ist zwar sehr ehrenwert, aber dem Gesamtkunstwerk Box an sich hätte man dann stattdessen doch ein paar Worte mehr gönnen können. Tadel!

Monday, 11 am at HAU 1: Heroes vs. Anti-Heroes: Success Stories in Cinema

Guests: Julie Delpy, Benjamin Gilmour, Julia Jentsch, Ralph Ziman. Moderated by Grahame Weinbren.

From the programme: "The panel ponders the identity of the contemporary cinematic hero, how we relate to him or her, both as filmmakers and as viewers. How the dark anti-hero plays on our consciousness and what we take away from a film that portrays such a character? The fiction filmmakers, Benjamin Gilmour, whose directorial debut Son of A Lion features in the Berlinale Forum, and Ralph Ziman, whose Jerusalema is part of the Berlinale Panorama, and the actresses Julia Jentsch, winner of the 2005 Silver Bear for Best Actress in Sophie Scholl – The Final Days and Julie Delpy, who has worked in over 30 films, will discuss how one finds a way to live with a character for the one of two years it takes to make a film, when the character is someone who would be impossible to relate to in real life."

There will be a lot of screaming teenagers in Kreuzberg on sunday, believe me! The highly acclaimed Indian Bollywood actor, producer Shahrukh Khan will be one of the special guests at the HAU 1 on sunday at 11 am to talk about "Love International". Other guests on the panel are Maria Schrader and Kate Henshaw-Nuttall.

From the programme: "Moderated by Dorothee Wenner. In cooperation with Federal Foreign Office and Berlinale Special. There are few things more pleasurable than seeing a wonderful love story on the big screen. Although love may be regarded as an eternal affair and a natural humancondition, looking at films from the different parts of the world, one can see clear distinctions arising from very different cultural contexts that shape relationships from the “first sight” till “death tears them apart”. Morale, ethics, family constellations, gender relations, economics, traditions and religion – all these issues result in what the Western world likes to describe as the most private sphere of an individual. Three super stars from the genre of “love depiction” – Bollywood’s Shah Rukh Khan, Kate Henshaw-Nuttall of the Nollywood fame and German leading lady and Silver Bear winner Maria Schrader – look at today’s cinema and its purpos as a role model for “real” love stories, as well as a fulfilment of audiences’ desire for escapism and as a reflection of the world we live in – be it in India, Nigeria, Germany or elsewhere."
