Pornotopia

Pornotopia at Nørrebro Teater. Fucking awesome play! It was really very good! It's about two porn stars making their own porn film called Pornotopia and a journalist making a documentary about them. I liked the breaks, where they stepped out of character and talked with each other and the audience about seeing porn. One thing I thought was a bit disappointing was that they talked about women as though there are only to kinds; 1) the woman that watches porn 2) the woman that doesn't watch porn because she is suppressing her sexual needs. I would have liked it better if they had painted a more nuanced picture of women on the subject of porn.
But the rest was really fun and interessting and not as provocative as I'd expected!

Less than four hours to Hp7!!!!!!

Flensburg

Last week I was in Flensburg in Germany. I liked the city very much even though it was very cold. There are many beautiful houses and parks, and it's very old.
I also liked their local beer - Flensbuger. I didn't get a very good impression of the night life, but the one night I was at some weird bar, the school had booked. The weirdest thing was that they played danish pop music. I watched Anastacia, Casper the friendly ghost meets Wendy (played by Hillary Duff) and Momento.

Oh what a shame

something very tragic happened 10 minutes ago. what is depicted on the pictures above is the accident that changed our moods from hungry to sad; My flatmate Annalil and I were just about to enjoy a nice dish of tuna-salad when suddenly Annalil dropped her slice of heaven! it landed in a perfect blob on the floor....

More Music, lads and lassses

Okay, here it is. Swedish band called Whale. Known for; Warming up for blur and their "hit-single" Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe. Cia Berg is the singer and I accidentally found this song a couple of years ago when I was being geeky about swedish pop-music on youtube.
Anyway, this song is very tacky (notice the french-spoken intro, the variety of words ending with -ical etc.) and I love the chorus - who wouldn't want to be considered "Kickin'" by that gorgeous woman?
Enjoy this people, it is a real gem!

Do you have the time to listen to me whine?

I LOVE Green Day, only the earlier stuff though, the rest is pure shite. BUT the early stuff (obviously Basket Case, Minority, When I come around and such) has the most amazing american teen punk-sound, very... teen-comedy-flick-starring-Jason-Biggs-ish (Loser!).
Later I'll post something that, for me, has the same feel to it, kinda... 90's and slightly tacky but catchy.

Sunday films

Yesterday I spontaneosly turned my day into a filmfest, which was rather nice. I started my day by watching some gore-horror or whatever you call it:

"Hostel", director: Eli Roth ("Deathproof", "Inglorious Basterds" etc.). This film has been psycho-hyped and in my opinion beyond its potential, I do not dislike the film at all, in fact I think it is definitely a film that I'll return to several times. However everyone I've spoken to that has seen it has told me to "steer clear of this twisted Gorno flick" and "Oh my GAWD do not watch it, it is the most disgusting thing!" etc. etc. And, I'm not playing cool or anything, but it really wasn't that bad/ that Gory, I had actually hoped that there'd be more grime, pus, blood, vomit and violence...

With that said, this film has an amazing "American Pie"/"Eurotrip"-feel to it whilst preserving a really nasty undertone, and incidentally establishing that Europeans are often psychos who like to pay shitloads of money to slaughter Americans. The setting is positively fantastic, it takes place in Slovakia and the naked terrain and the ex-Soviet buildings create a perfect atmosphere. Definitely a must-see for the gore-people!

"Saw 3d", director: Kevin Greutert ("The strangers", a lot of other "Saw" films). Well, hmm, yeah... Saw I was pretty good, Saw II was alright, I haven't seen the rest, but decided to check out the 3D screens of CPH... And I thought it was a good film. Jigsaw's traps are always very fascinating and gross, and they are obviously the reason for peoples fondness of the Saw movies...concerning the 3D-effects, there weren't a lot of them, but it was cool to get entrails and chunks of wood thrown in your face, I'd wish that they had used it more!
The guy playing the new villain, by the name of Hoffman, is Mr. Costas Mandylor, whom I am unfortunately unable to take seriously because of his role as the Hot Monk aka Friar Fuck in Sex and the City (haha, what a shame indeed), but he is good - not as good as Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) obviously.
I can't really judge this film properly because I had to pee so bad throughout most of the film and was unable to leave the cinema, but it's quite good, I mean it's alright, but it's not necessary to watch...

"Buried", director: Rodrigo Cortés. This film is good, it's very tragic and sad. It's plot is kind of lame and at times very...stereo-american but it's execution is fabulous. It takes place in a coffin in which Ryan Reynolds (Berg!) is buried, he has a cellphone and a few other things at his service, and from thereon begins an amazingly heartbreaking story of a mans desperate struggle to survive.
If you're claustrophobic do not watch this film, the camera never leaves the coffin. I liked it, and it made me feel very sad.

90210

I've been watching a whole lot of Beverly Hills 90210 lately. I am almost done with the fifth season. God that is good Tv! I love their looks especially Donnas (though, not always). It's weird that Kelly and Brandon are dating - they're a quite dull couple. Dylan's hot as always, and Steve's you know Steve. I hate that Donna's dating Ray - asshole - she should be dating David! Valerie's pretty annoying, but she sure does make the show interesting. I don't know how I feel about Jesse yet, but Andrea's looking a bit old and tired. I'll stop my Beverlybabbling now...

Let's all meet there, it'll be great!
