"StilinBerlin explores the style of Berlin. We try to document the urban, cosmopolitan and multicultural spirit of the city, we live in. Fashion can describe what a city is, so we take photos of outfits that stand out and capture that spirit within them."

"Nobody writes a better crime novel," Elmore Leonard said of Willeford.

"Willeford's characteristic juxtaposition of humor and violence was apparently one of director Quentin Tarantino's inspirations. Discussing Pulp Fiction, Tarantino has said that the film 'is not noir. I don't do neo-noir. I see Pulp Fiction as closer to modern-day crime fiction, a little closer to Charles Willeford.'"

Quotes from the article about Charles WIlleford on Wikipedia

"The collectable Charles Willeford didn't exist before 1984, when his breakthrough novel Miami Blues kicked off the mad scramble for his backlist. Despite the fact that seventeen books had seen publication since his first title in 1948, no one seemed to have heard of him. Sure, his novel Cockfighter had been filmed, with Warren Oates in the starring role, and with Willeford himself acting in a supporting part. It was one of the few Roger Corman productions that actually lost money. The collectable Willeford we know now was the sixty-five year old pro who sat down and wrote an instant classic named Miami Blues. Until then, you could have found any of his paperback original novels from the 1950s or 1960s for five or six bucks, or less."

No Man's Land

Evil and dry over the gods You transform tiny dreams against the trees Take cover! The devil has fled So violet beside the trees We command big sounds below the bullshit Ahhh! The bastard will go So quiet in the slime You confound tiny bones beyond the mud Alass, alack! The night keeps going opaque fighting back across the water a phone ringing somewhere To what end the foreigner grow old while the crowd watched

Watch the short video at Popwatch! Yes, that's the same scream again and again.

"The Wilhelm Scream was recorded for a '50s Western, popped up in a handful of movies in the '50s, '60s, and '70s, was adopted by George Lucas' sound man Ben Burtt (who put the Scream in each Star Wars and Indiana Jones flick), and then dropped into more than 150 other movies since."

A concerned Landsmann

blonde is the new black, old the new young, dumb the new hip, homicidal the new horny, forever the new never and berlin the latest “berlin”, our sidewalks hosed of all those merdes, our surly shopgirl refitted with a shit-eating grin, her second loss of innocence, her mons on the clock, knotted hair uncoiled, tits by the kilo waxed, boiled, packaged for puritans. Ohioized and personality-free and catnip to adipose tourists. her smile is just
