Golem. Again. Fantastic resource about Paul Wegener's movie The Golem. Stills, posters, and the script. Sorry - all in German - except for the stills and posters. Via Filmtagebuch. 7:27:16 PM   Cult, Literature | |

And I Thought it was Funny. The trouble with German humour is that Germany's so-called journalists always try to make it unfunny. I actually found yesterday's prime-time show very funny, if not innovative - for Germans. But there you go. I live in the UK, where nobody dissects silly comedy shows like they do in Germany, like - where's the deeper meaning in all of this? Hey, it was just silly. And I'm really sorry if I thought it was funny. 6:47:14 PM   Cult | |

Now this is stupid. Bank of England hit by email hoax. Business: Bank of England is victim of a hoax email that asked businesses and the public to download software to protect their cash accounts. [Guardian Unlimited] 2:44:30 PM   London | |

The Chelsea Girls. I've just scanned the title page of film 7/67, together with an article by Jonas Mekas about the 'New American Cinema'; an interview with Andy Warhol and a review of Chelsea Girls. It's all here. And I'm seriously thinking about setting up a proper website - the .mac homepage stuff might be good for photos, but for a documentation like this it just doesn't work. Well, let's see. 2:41:08 PM   Cult | |

Groovy. Wolfgang's Vault offers a huge collection of original rock concert posters, flyers, tickets and whatnot. Fab. 9:56:26 AM   Art & Advertising, Cult | |

Landing a Probe on Mars. Fantastic article by Stuart Jeffries: Anyone seen a small spaceship?. Stuart Jeffries on the great art of British failure. [Guardian Unlimited] Why hasn't the Beagle sent a signal? Because it is British, and because Mars has the wrong kind of clay on its surface. Terribly rich in iron, you see, completely unsuitable for Martian probe landings. British ones, at least. 9:05:53 AM    | |
