The Jerk I mean he directed that one! RIP Carl And remember: Dead men don't wear plaid

That was what made The Phantom of the Opera so great. The set of the opera house was ginormous, it felt real, the camera ride through the place at the beginning set the the whole maze-like structure into scene and made sure you understood later how the pohantom could haunt this place. And the...

Many years ago I watched a making-of (or was it director's commentary?) of St. Elmo's Fire and he came across as a caring and good man. I still remember him saying how sorry he felt for the young actors because they got typecast after he directed them in that movie (or seomthing to that extend...

Time to watch The Death of Stalin again. :)

5:53am CET on my way to work. Finally I got whammed. Cranked the radio up to eleven (well, actually 16) and belted along. Carry on, survivors! Good luck!

If I don't get whammed doing shopping in the city tomorrow I might off myself on saturday at the latest. I *want* to hear that song...
