UPDATE: CLEVERE KREUZBERGER UMGEHEN PRÄVENTIV DAS RAUCHVERBOT
Interessierten Gastwirten sei die Homepage der Kneipe "Heide 11" am Kreuzberger Hermannsplatz empfohlen. Dort bekommt man für 10 Euro den "Informationsbrief Raucherclub".
Dort gibt es auch das Buch "Turbulenzen in der Heide 11" - Tagebuch einer Berliner Kneipenwirtin
Morgenpost: Mit welchen Tricks Berliner Kneipiers das Rauchverbot umgehen "Raucherclub" steht seit zwei Monaten auf der Leuchtreklame über dem Eingang der "Heide 11". Ausweise auf gelben Zetteln sind schon gedruckt: "Für die Dauer Ihres Aufenthalts sind Sie kostenlos Mitglied." Eine Klingel an der Tür wird demnächst montiert. Aus der Wirtin wird zum Jahreswechsel die Klubchefin. Vorbild seien die Filmklubs der 70er-Jahre, sagt sie. Damals traf man sich halb öffentlich und ebenso legal zum Anschauen von Erotikfilmchen. "Wir wollen keine Pornos gucken, wir wollen rauchen", sagt die Chefin.

HITLER: A FILM FROM GERMANY
Written and directed by Hans Jürgen Syberberg in 1977.
From the Subcin.com Info Page: "One of Europe's boldest and most controversial film and theatre directors, Syberberg has devoted much of his career to exploring the roots of his native Germany's tragic destiny in the 20th century."
"The most spectacularly original contribution to Hitler studies which the cinema has given us." Nigel Andrews, "Financial Times"

ALL THIS AND WORLD WAR II
Wikipedia: "A 1976 musical documentary that juxtaposes Beatles songs, performed by a number of musicians, with World War II newsreel footage and 20th Century Fox films from the 1940s. It lasted a week in movie theaters and was quickly sent into storage.
After Terry Gilliam turned down the offer to direct this documentary, 20th Century Fox turned to Susan Winslow."
The soundtrack is, well, check out the list yourself! Peter Gabriel doing "Strawberry Fields Forever" and Tina Turner singing "Come Together" and of course it's got the notorious Bee Gees who were also responsible for that horrible Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Film.

WHERE IS MY BRAIN?
Warren Ellis: Thank you, America, for giving me stories like this one:
"The mayor of an Arkansas town resigned on Wednesday, claiming he was abducted and brainwashed by Satan worshippers nearly three decades ago.
Centerton Mayor Ken Williams said he has been living under an assumed name for nearly 30 years. He had been mayor since 2001.
Williams told authorities he was born Don LaRose and that in the mid-1970s, he was a preacher in Indiana. He said he was abducted and brainwashed into forgetting all about his life as Don LaRose. It was a double-life he had never acknowledged, Williams said, because he didn’t even realize it existed until he had recently taken a truth-serum injection…"

PLEASE READ THIS ADAM CURTIS INTERVIEW!
The Register - Adam Curtis: The TV elite has lost the plot: "Adam Curtis is one of the jewels in the BBC's crown - as well as one of its fiercest critics. His documentaries are rich, complex histories of ideas that have surprised BBC executives with their popularity amongst younger viewers: his montage technique and visual jokes reward repeated viewings.
THE CENTURY OF THE SELF told the story of how Freud's nephew invented modern public relations . The Power Of Nightmares described how the myth of the al-Qaeda "network" had to be invented so a terror trial could be heard under America's RICO laws. The Trap describes how reductionist and paranoid logic of game theory influenced psychology, biology and eventually social policy."
Over two interviews with us, Curtis lays into a TV class that has lost its confidence, run out of ideas, and fallen back on "user generated content" as a salvation.
He explains how bloggers are bullies, warns of the snake oil salesmen of the internet's "new democracy", and suggests how to repair a BBC in crisis."

UNITE AGAINST HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSE IN "THE WAR ON TERROR"
Watch Waiting for the Guards
"Amnesty International have just released a truly powerful film to coincide with the official launch of the unsubscribe campaign.
Waiting For The Guards is the first of 3 films commissioned by Amnesty to highlight the enhanced interrogation techniques used by the CIA in the “War on Terror”.
The Directors approached the making of the film in a way that has never been done before, choosing to show the reality of Stress Positions in as authentic a way as possible. They filmed a person being put into Stress Positions over a 6 hour period. There is no acting on the part of the 'prisoner'" – his pain and anguish is for real.
This powerful film shows without doubt that what the US administrations say is interrogation is in reality, torture and must be stopped. "

OTTO THE ZOMBIE (OR, UP WITH DEAD PEOPLE)
Bruce LaBruce’s latest controversial post gay zombie movie was shot in Berlin and lovely Katharina Klewinghaus plays someone called Medea Yarn.
From the Synopsis by LaBruce himself: Otto; or, Up with Dead People is a melancholy zombie movie with political overtones that seeks to extend and elaborate the emerging zombie mythology. A modern fable about the loneliness, emptiness, and alienation that results from rampant consumerism and materialism under advanced capitalism, "Otto; or, Up with Dead People" presents as its central character Otto, a young man who may or may not be a zombie, depending on your point of view. Otto is first seen walking down a deserted stretch of highway, not knowing exactly where he came from or where he's going. He is dressed as a kind of neo-Goth dandy, but his clothes look and smell like they are rotting on his body. After hitching a ride with a clueless elderly couple that drops him off in the city, it quickly becomes apparent that there is something distinctly odd about Otto. He seems to be homeless, taking refuge in an abandoned amusement park, and he never sleeps. He also has an eating disorder: he has an aversion to consuming human flesh. He's a zombie with an identity crisis. "
