I‘m totally into Asian movies. Not only Eastern but also Horror and Science Fiction movies. Here in Germany we have a movie publisher for Asian movies. Or let me say it like this: this company releases the movies from Asia nobody else dares to release because they are too weird. This label is called „Rapid Eye Movies“. They have a big catalogue with animes and live action movies. The last movie I saw from that catalogue was „I‘m a Cyborg, but that’s OK“. (mehr…)

Saturday is my favorite day in the week. No school, no work, just spare time. Some of this time I always spend in our local public library that is just bout 5 minutes by foot away from my apartment. The other I day I borrowed the movie „Where the wild Things are“. I heard about this movie when it was released last year and I heard about the original picture book it is based on. Well, I loved this movie, it is a typical Spike Jonze movie!!! Great stuff. I knew that I knew the original book from somewhere an then I remembered that there was a short spoof scene of it in a certain Simpsons episode. But I had a small doubt in my head about the picture book. So I decided to go to the library and check if the book was available there. I thought it shouldn‘t be too hard to find it. They have hundreds of picture books there. (mehr…)
So, looking at the header pic of my blog you might have guessed what time’s just started. Lunch time… erm… yeah! And to celebrate the beginning of the X-Mas season I already watched a christmas movie this morning.
A Muppets Christmas: Letters To Santa! Here’s the trailer:
It is funny, had good songs, the Muppets ROCK anyway

„Mama, I want that toy on TV! It comes with a video! Please Mama, I never get any toys… Look how cool they are, when you hit the button they fall apart, let’s go to the toy shop and buy it. It’s not expensive. I never get toys, you don‘t love me, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!“
OK, I admit, I don‘t remember exactly how this conversation between me and my mom was, but it was at least almost like that. Yes, I had some of this stupid toys… All they could do was exploding when you hit the button. Hey but there was a VHS cassette with the toy… I think I watched this video like 4 billion times. I dunno what happened with it but it would be nice to see it again. But it is hard to find information on this series on the internet… and when you look for pictures and type in „Incredible Crash Dummies TV“ you get a picture of Stan Lee on page 8…
OK, here we go, IMDB saved my life again IMDBARONI. This article actually is about the video I had when I was young and here is the Wikipedia-Article about it CRASHTESTERONI…
And sometimes it is that easy: www.crashdummies.info. OK, let’s see what we have here. You can now watch me collecting information for a blog, normally I do it before I start but I want to do it differently this time. OK, it is a nice site, indeed, but it lacks information and pictures to the TV series.
Anyways, this video was my first encounter with computer animated TV. Looking back the animation wasn‘t that good and the toys were stupid, too. But as far as I remember the video was funny and fitted the style of the toys really well. btw: yes, the picture show the original toy with video that I also had when I was a kid. The picture comes from eBay.
Fasten your long grey SEATBELT!!!
Oh well, the 80ies. What a wonderful time for cartoon fans. Cartoon series were still handmade by Korean kids, German dubbing was aweful and we loved it back then.
Now looking back to my childhood I see how bad these shows actually were. The stories sucked, the animation sucked… in fact everything sucked. Having multiple plotholes seemed to be more like a concept than a problem. I recently started to collect 80ies and early 90ies cartoon shows on DVD, starting with the amazing „Garfield & Friends“ (which is awesome compared to the rest) and going on with „Defenders of the Earth“. The last things I added to my DVD library were the German DVDs to „The Transformers“. (mehr…)
Aah, the Sesame Street, or Sesamstraße as it is called in Germany. One of the first TV-shows I ever watched, besides Die Sendung mit der Maus. Some weeks ago, I saw the Dutch version of it, called Sesamstraat, on Dutch TV. You know, here in Western Germany we receive some Dutch TV channels via cable TV. And via sat you can watch them all I guess… Anyways, there are so many different international versions of the Sesame Street. Of course I did know that there was a Dutch version, but I had never seen it before. I was curious and watched a complete episode. (mehr…)
Of course there will be a third Transformers movie. Just one thought on it: It has to take place on Cybertron. The first 2 movies were on Earth. Another Transformers movie on Earth would suck. AND it should contain no humans. How could humans breath and walk around on a machine planet??? Means: No Shia LeBuffet anymore! I hate him. „There’s more than meets the eye!“ Jerk…
And I already heard that Megan Fox wouldn‘t do another Transformer again. That’s sad. She was hot. Especially when she sprayed the motorcycle in the beginning of Transformers 2. But no humans also means no Megan Fox. But having her in a third part also means having Shia LeArse. They love each other… This was the worst thing in Transformers 2… and John Tutorro. He was great in part one but there was no need for him to be in part two. He wasn‘t funny, he was exhausting!
I hope the next Transformers movie also kicks ass as the first 2 did.

And Doctor Who again. This are the final moments of David Tennant in Doctor Who before #10 regenerates to #11. Listen to the choir in the background. Are they actually singing „Timey Wimey“??? RTD did it again I guess.

Still not bothered!!!
You know, I love the Power Rangers since I was like 6 years old. I watched every season when it was broadcast for the first time. Then suddenly the TV channel moved it to a really early spot. It was broadcast at about 6 am. I mean, even if I would have been allowed to watch TV that early, I‘d prefered to sleep on a Saturday. So I lost the Power Rangers for some years. I guess „Time Force“ was the last season I saw when it was broadcast first. Then, like 10 years ago, there was a small regional TV channel that brought all, and I repeat, ALL seasons of Power Rangers so far. 2 episodes each evening, perfectly!! I saw all the classics and some really new seasons I had missed like „Wild Force“, „Lightspeed Rescue“ and so on. Awesome, that brought back my PR fandomness (I know, I just made this word up). Anyways, then there was the news that some new seasons were coming towards Germany, so I followed the series again.
There was another Ninja season („Ninja Force“) and the awesome „Dino Thunder“ that even brought back Tommy!!! But my personal climax was reached with „Power Ranger Space Police Delta“ or just „SPD“. Actually still my favorite season of Power Rangers.
But I lost interest again. „Mystical Force“ was a pole of shit compared to the previously season, so I stopped following the Power Rangers again. I totally I already had read about the last season „RPM“ to the time of „Mystic Force“. I think it is currently running on German TV. So looking back I am a fan of Power Rangers for almost 20 years now. I even totally missed „Jungly Fury“, the season before.
Linkara, part of the ThatGuyWithTheGlasses collective, recently started a complete review-history of all Power Rangers seasons. He already proceeded to „Turbo“, including the introduction he already released 6 episodes. Many of them are up to 40 minutes long and he did a really great job to bring back all this childhood memories to my head!!!
