The Future of Visual Effects
Posted in CGI & Rendering, Essays
“Is this a computer film or a normal film?” I recently overheard a question of a girl directed at her boyfriend near a movie theater. The guy told her that they were about to watch Terminator 4 and it would be a “normal film but with lots of computer stuff”. The girl sighed. “Nobody falls in love with anybody in those movies…”

Dear Uwe Boll,
Posted in Films
I’ve noticed over the past years that quite some people feel that you should die instantly of all the shitload of donkey diarrhea you put on moviegoers, fans of the horror genre and fans of the video games you rape in your films. But I tell those people “Give the poor man a break!” because as some kind of pseudo-filmmaker myself I understand that you must love your film-making, ordering people around and getting money for it. But is this the true you?

The Dark Knight
Posted in Dear Diary, Films, Rants, Reports, Reviews
I just came home from watching “The Dark Knight” in the UCI Colosseum in Berlin and I have to say: What a bunchload of crap! Really? No, of course not! This movie actually seems to me as one of the best super hero movies there can be — with a sophisticated story off the beaten tracks while staying true with the fans. Read on.

David Lynch’s INLAND EMPIRE
Posted in Films, Reviews
If you want to see a pair of tits in a non pornographic context then take an arts class or watch art films. Lisa and I went to see David Lynch‘s (not so) newest film INLAND EMPIRE (all caps) in the Rechbauerkino in Graz today (actually yesterday). Because these little artsy theaters don’t sell popcorn or nachos we went to the Cineplexx first, that was swamped with rednecks from the peripherals of Graz and got us a hunk of nachos with cheese and salsa for a bunch of money. Funny thing was that we even made it back downtown in time and got seats in the second row 1. And then INLAND EMPIRE started.Don’t worry! No spoilers ahead!
Read the rest…- The Rechbauerkino theater is fairly small so sitting in the second row is like sitting in the middle of a big theater ↩

Wicked Acros 100
Posted in Photography, Reports
During a chat with my old mentor Branko Lenart a month ago he suggested me trying the Fuji Neopan Acros 100 b/w-film, a “wicked film” in his terms. I nearly forgot about his words but remembered them two days ago when I was photographing in the canals of the Wienfluss in Vienna where I exposed my last Ilford Delta 100 rolls, my favorite film – yet. -

Russian Passion: The Kiev B.i.G.-six
Posted in Photography, Reviews
On Thursday there was my lucky day: I found a Kiev BIG-six camera on the website of the local photo store Foto Mayrhofer — for a smashing price.
