i like it when it rains and thunders

another new york movie

Just came back from the sneak preview and thought I drop a couple of lines. I liked this movie a lot - and not only because of Sienna Miller. There is nothing new about showing people around Andy Warhol taking drugs and living on the edge but it is one of the few films that shows Andy and / or any great artist in a somewhat less good light. The movie is very much like Basquiat but this time the story is really not about Warhol but Edie Sedgwick - who is perfectly portrayed by Sienna Miller. The factory, New York, Paris, horses, central park, Chelsea Hotel, etc. It's all there!!!

I haven't posted too much last week because I was working. And was working too much actually. After almost two weeks of working (including the weekend) I started to feel like Ben Affleck in Paycheck (another great movie by the way) only without all the money and the girl waiting for him. Anyways - I stopped working on Friday and we went to see Get Smart - which was just perfect for a Friday night. Then party on Saturday at our place, Clubkeller later on (gotta remember to go back on a Saturday as it was just perfect) and Sunday was spent at the swimming pool, eating good old Sunday Steak at Buena Vista and then watching Mamma Mia, which was just great. The singing is fantastic, especially Mr. ex-Bond is just, well, I don't know what to say. You should figure it out for yourself :-)


And now the hot summer has finally arrived so I am sure there will be more movie nights approaching as our second floor is somewhat hot so that it is not an option to stay at home in the evening. We shall see ...

illegal

just finished watching the new batman movie - totally illegally from the internet (didn't download, just watched online). The quality was miserable but at least I got the story. I never did this before and I don't intend to make a habit out of it and I am pretty sure I will go and watch it again in a cinema as soon as it comes out so it shouldn't be soooooooooooo illegal. I just couldn't wait a whole month until it comes officially to Germany just because some smartass marketing person decided there were enough other good movies already in the cinema this summer and this way they could get more money out of the summer movies. end of story. punkt.

just finished - thanks, mimi!

a-a-a-choo

blog clog

I have to admit I have been pretty lame lately. No blogging, no more picture uploads on flickr, no more other stuff. I don't know why - the main thing is that I am back in Frankfurt and my PC is up and running again. I have to check the old hard disk for any data that might still be there and then we will see. The weather gods seem to be on my side so there is a slight chance that I will spend some time at home this weekend. Oh, one more thing. I have read this book on the plane to Vienna last weekend. It is a very nice book that I can totally recommend.
