I hate that show!

Sister Chain & Brother John plus Geffen & Mr. Pi plus jede Menge Berlin Tanzmusik. Thursday, the 9th of November, 9 p. m. at Kaffee Burger, Torstr. 60:

Graham Hains - Photo Exhibition Sunday, the 19th of November, 3 p.m. at Bago Berlin, Blücherstr. 23

The producers keep pretending that everything will get better, but the show has lost speed. And we get even more sub-plots? Can't we stick to the same old questions? What about the cable in the water? Who were these people in that arctic shelter? Were "The Others" really on the island before the Dharma Initiative? When are they finally gonna kill Jack? Anyway, one more to go before the show goes off the air for three months. Below is this weeks video-podcast which gives you a glimpse of what seems to tie the various plot-elements so far: random encounters and that theory about being related to every one else on earth via no more than six other people.

Wikipedia: Six degrees of separation : "Six degrees of separation is the hypothesis that anyone on Earth can be connected to any other person on the planet through a chain of acquaintances with no more than five intermediaries."

Don't know. I think it's lame. I'd rather like to see the zombie-season with an undead Mr. Eko or some shit like that.

LOST - Offical ABC LOST Video Podcast (4th Nov) - (incl. 2 minutes of tonights episode!)

Another snippet from episode 6 ("I do") starring Sayid, Desmond and John Locke.

Borat on Letterman!

This all-new show is already a spin-off of the all-new 2006 mega-mega-version of good old "Dr. Who". It looks like a very british sort of X-Files meets Buffy and whatever else is popular. Worth a try!

Tuesdays in November

The note got lost... and now I've found it again in the one place I hadn't looked for it: my film file! Sometimes being organized creates chaos...

First Tuesday in November, 7.th, that is, i.e. tomorrow we will finally have (how many attempts have we made so far?) "Germany, Year Zero", 1949 that classic Italian Neorealism film by Roberto Rossellini. As extension of the Italian season could also be seen La Commare secca, 1962, by Bernardo Bertolucci.

Tuesday, 14. November is going to be a special repeat/surprise film - for more details ask in the bookshop.

Currently being deeply emersed in concentrated thinking things over - considering a season of more recent British films, say the last 10 years, we would welcome suggestions from all interested: remember, this is the people's filmclub and those who watch the movies, decide about the show!

We are also interested in Australian film - what's on, what's good, what would you like to see?

Please join the heated debate... and see you Tuesdays at 20.00h.

Take care everybody,

amanda

Go over to the Driveshaft-MySpace, become a friend and download that cheesy song "You All Everybody"!

Did I mention that we're having a Halloween-Party tonight?

Did I mention we will have a phantastic movie by a famous director everyone loves and nobody has seen it yet?

Well, I told you!

Lots of things to talk about! Cliffhangers as usual! After last night's episode of "Lost" there is only one more to go before the show takes another break for three months. Check out the trailer for next weeks "Fall Seson Finale":

So, "the big one" is coming up and another one of the survivors will bite the dust, I heard!

Not Desmond...! Probably not Sun since she's pregnant!

"The Urban Travel Guide" is writing nice things about the bookshop:

"Expat bookstores often hover between a comforting taste of home and an irritating nexus of smug trustafarians. Paris's Shakespeare and Company is full of bearded pretentious Americans reenacting Hemingway sans talent. Happily, Berlin's Another Country, a large English-language bookstore, doesn't fall into the muck of a 1,000 poseurs."

OK, "The Nine" seems to be out and there seems to be a strong interest in finding out more about everyones favourite TV-show and that's why we're going to have plenty of material to choose from this week.

This thursday we will have a look at deleted scenes, extra airport-scenes, "making of", theories about Atlantis, the Channel4-trailer in crisp quality, a "best of all Sawyer-Insults" and much more from the various bonus-discs of "Lost" plus some other things we will announce in time.

Come around 8:15 and you wont miss any extra-clues no true "Lostie" would want to miss.

This is the rare UK Channel 4 documentary about Blade Runner, giving insights into it's history with interviews of Ridley Scott, the writers and nearly all the cast.

There is also a tour of some locations, most notably the Bradbury Building and the Warner Brothers backlot that was the LA 2019 streets, which look very different from Ridley Scott's dark version.

Old Time Radio Shows for Halloween: "we present 100 of our favorite horror theme stories, from shows like Witch's Tale, Lights Out, Innersanctum, Quiet Please, The Haunted Hour and others. These are the very stories that inspired favorite Horror Comics and shows like Twilight Zone and Thriller! In fact, old time radio horror show, "Witch's Tale" is reported to have served as direct inspiration for EC Comics."

Maybe Sean can tell us a bit about working with Mr. Gilliam on The Past People of Potsdamer Platz before we have a look at this fine mess:

Lost in La Mancha: Fulton and Pepe's 2000 documentary captures Terry Gilliam's attempt to get The Man Who Killed Don Quixote off the ground. Back injuries, freakish storms, and more zoom in to sabotage the project (which has never been resurrected). Trailer below...

And then there is Tideland: "After her mother dies from a heroin overdose, Jeliza-Rose is taken from the big city to a rural farmhouse by her father. As she tries to settle into a new life in a house her father had purchased for his now-deceased mother, Jeliza-Rose's attempts to deal with what's happened result in increasingly odd behavior, as she begins to communicate mainly with her bodiless Barbie doll heads and Dell, a neighborhood woman who always wears a beekeeper's veil."

Wired: "Hemingway once wrote a story in just six words ("For sale: baby shoes, never worn.") and is said to have called it his best work. So we asked sci-fi, fantasy, and horror writers from the realms of books, TV, movies, and games to take a shot themselves."
