it's monday and i feel like i need 24 hours sleep... last week was full of films, mainly due to febiofest. (in order of appeareance) norwegian falling sky, a story about loonies - crazy ideas, but all in all a very nice comedy. then yugoslavian wounds, a story from the times, when gangster machos were the kings - reflection of balkan wars as seen in beograde. perfect circle, a quiet film about people lost in war in sarajevo. personally i was deeply touched by reconstruction, a danish movie with a weird plot, which is not really important. but it shows the situation of breaking one relationship, tho not successfully creating a new one. the result is loosing everything, one's identity including... all the films were worth, only the last one, to the left of the father, was a disappointement for me. boring, full of pseudo-philosophical rubbish. the idea of combining brazil and lebanese people could have been used much better. and yesterday czech television pleased all of us - monty python fans :) plus human traffic - crazy movie i was longing to see for a while. not an all time winner, but lot of fun. i'm also about doing finally some webdesign, and that sounds good :)

environment : e.j.hobsbawm: nations and nationalism since 1780 an extremly interesting book, the author probably spent years searching for original sources... a little bit of everything, from baltics to balkan, then central europe, and finishing in ireland. a keystone for everyone keen on such problems.
jackie brown ost jackie brown is a movie i can watch many times and it has started my 'film week' - again listened to all those oldies i realized i gotta get it :) and it rocks, a wondefull mix of crazy music!
web archive if there is anyone who doesn't know this: *the* tool, providing you with TB of data - shows what was the page like in let's say 1998. extremly powerfull and sometimes very useful as everything in the web changes so quickly...
