    Favorite Scene from a Movie

    This scene is extraordinary. The opening sequence of Bela Tarr's The Turin Horse. Jump forward 90 seconds. To create this feeling of velocity, doom and suspense by just filming a work horse and it's peasant driver is just incredible. It feels like he is reinventing the art of...

    Michel Houellebecq's 'Submission', the state of Europe, and other related thoughts

    I've read all of his novels and he hates arabs just as much as he hates Islam, if not more. The novel The Possibility of an Island showcases his feelings towards muslims at best. It's his worst novel though.

    Michel Houellebecq's 'Submission', the state of Europe, and other related thoughts

    Michel Houellebecq is a horrible (and yes - racist) human being, but a great novelist. The Celine of his day indeed.

    Morrissey aside (if he does it for you), do you have any long-term celebrity fantasy crushes?

    You should check out Swedish silents. Körkarlen by Victor Sjöström and Gösta Berlings saga by Mauritz Stiller with Greta Garbo in her first feature film and a phenomenal, and later Hollywood star, Lars Hanson. You seem to know about Bo Widerberg but if you haven't seen Kvarteret Korpen you...

    Who will win the World Cup ?

    That one's easy. "The whole of Berlin is as one" or "the people of Berlin is as one" or however it should be translated into english (none of the languages is my mother tongue). Ganz Berlin ist ein Volk in german at least. So you owe me one. ;)

    Or maybe Deutschland über alles in der Welt would be more apt. Well, we will know by sunday.

    Who will win the World Cup ?

    I agree that Brazil haven't impressed. But they have played with a lot of energy and determination. I think that, and the home crowd, can secure a victory against a better Germany. And no, Argentina have also not impressed but I think that neither have the Netherlands. Except for Robben they are...

    Who will win the World Cup ?

    The dream final would be Brazil - Argentina. Obviously. Then I hope that Argentina crushes Brazil at the Maracanã.

    Who will win the World Cup ?

    Matches such as Brazil-Chile is why I follow the World Cup despite everything. What a match! I feel sorry for Chile.

    Who will win the World Cup ?

    Huh? The World Cup being a progressive event? It is everything but. I suggest reading Terry Eagleton's article about the World Cup. And furthermore - the World Cup is all about national hubris and nationalism. And FIFA is one of the most corrupt and immoral international organisations in...

    What Were Your Teenage Years Like?

    Creepy video of man who just killed 7 women in Santa Barbara

    No, nothing scary happens in that novel but "Our Hero" had the same idea that was carried through by this Elliot Rodger. Raphael just couldn't go through with it. Rodger is like the combination of "Our Hero" and Raphael.

    Creepy video of man who just killed 7 women in Santa Barbara

    He sounds like a character from a novel by Michel Houellebecq. Especially like one from his debut Whatever. Scary shit.
