Spiderman 3 wears black ...

Hey this turns out to be a great movie year in 2007 and I am posting more and more about Movie's. But since I like CG especially 3D Animation... I am excited to see these movie's. I read something that the had to double the budget for this movie and most of it was spent for CG....

It is not much to see but show's still some interesting pictures ... it is a teaser =)...

but hey take a look and let me know what you think...

Retiree's

I can't believe this. Do you know retiree's who sit in there window the whole day watching the others?
Or whenever people sit in their garden and have a barbecue they are always blame you for beeing to loud. When kids walk through the streets and have some fun - the blame them for beeing to loud. It is always the same. And especialy when the weather is that hot, I mean you can't just be inside...
It is getting realy nice outside (at night). Ok, we have those kids, which are still partying outside around 1 o'clock at night... they sing or they talk (a little louder) but after a while, you know they will be gone. And these retiree's they cannot stand that but...

This morning at 5.45 o'clock 2 older women were talking together. Hey! it is Saturday! I had a hardworking week. And they spoke with such a clear, loud voice that I woke up. I thought ohhh man. Hopefully they shut the f*** up and let me sleep. But it turned out to a whole invasion.

More and more of them came and were talking and talking. Like a chicken farm. Now it was somehow 6.15 and I thought to myself someone has to stop the invasion and bring peace back on earth and to this morning. There were almost like 50-60 of them. But I was not realy able to stop them... because I was still so tyred but this noise was driving me nuts. It was so loud and so many of them... Suddenly I heard a low droning noise. It was almost like a big vacuum cleaner which came to suck them all away... And I was almost right. It was the bus - thank god! It looks like a coach tour which was starting at 6.30 o'clock.
But why the hell do you have to be out there at 5.45? Is this payback? And why so loud? Why can't that be during the week? You are a retieer - you have time! Within 5 minutes there was peace on earth again... the big vacuum cleaner sucked them all away =)

And now we are even - we do night barbecue's and you guy's can go on coach tours...

I know, I might understand it when I am old but that would be another story... (kids)...

so long

Newtek released Lightwave Version 9

Hey there is a new Version of Lightwave released. Currently I am working with 8.5.
This is Post is a little late because it actually had been released some days ago. But I was so busy.. so I did no take any note. Anyway I have to check how it is and I a upgrate is worth it.

Here is Newtek's Website

Pixar's next strike...

Whow looks like another pixar strike... Ratatouille... who knows what that means? I had france in school but I have to investigate for that... Anyway here is a link to the First Trailer

also available at Pixar.com

I think this is going to be another great, cute story with fantastic pictures so far...

I am interessted in how it turns out because the trailers grow with the project. This is something interesting to see in the cars trailer. If you watch the first one even the main actor got a design review... so let's see what we can expect because it is still a Year to go. Release date is Summer 2007 (so far)... stay tuned for mo

But the story is not over

We still have two games to go I am mean Germany has only one left but who is going to be world champion...

This is how it goes... GERMANY::ITALY

Whow... it has been some time now since I wrote my last post. But now I am back on track. Watching the Worldcup last night and seeing how Italy busted Germany was realy shocking.

It was such a power game and in the last minute in overtime - GOAL.
I looked around and all the guys had the same face expression - this could not be true. But it was!
But seeing all the people so enthusiastic for the last weeks was realy great. I hope this lasts longer. Because it is not all about soccer... there was mo(re). Looks like the people just waited for a reason to express there feelings that it cannot be all about politics, war, the gas prices. And it is that sport got the renascence of being a globaly connector between all kind of folks in all kind of countries. This feeling seemed to be so addictive that even people who have nothing to do with soccer started to get into it. They want to participate and they want just to ride that wave.
So lets go surfing as long as this new wind of emotions, motivation and power presents us that great wave to ride.

stuck in the (mo)ment

Somtimes you stuck... stuck in the (mo)ment.... can't get out feel like stone in an endless surounding. It seems that there is no way out... but hopefully there is a light a light of the new day and .....

Happy Xmas

Ok Ok

It is Xmas whow it used to be Christmas anyway...

Happy Chrismas to everyone reading this BLOG.

Christmas is such a funny thing basically everybody is putting him/herself in a big stress situation just for one day. Oh this got to be perfect. Oh I can't stand him anyway I need a gift.
Especially those last minute guys (and girls but more guys) who need a present but don't know what...
These big cities where every body is in a fast pase to get the right things. Some decoration some present. Ah we need to eat ... oh we need some special food.

But hey what a suprise christmas ist this year in the end of december... mmm I don't know must be some how around 24th or 25th...

But after fighting threw the december it is finally christmas and everybody sudenly needs to go to church... how comes.
And the family ... yeah the family whatever it is christmas.... Don't know anything of the family for one whole year but in december whether I like them or don't. I got to see the family...

What make Christmas so special?

That people just follow certain christmas rules is it tradition?

Funny is that these should be the rules collected out of various conversations with different kind of people.

Maybe I get some more opinions posted as comment (?).

But this year something must have changed (maybe it is a christmas miracle...
The daily news were telling of aggrasive crowds of people buying there presents basically hunting for some fresh meat to eat...

But nothing it was just quite and relaxed. I was on christmas day out for buying some food and I prepered myself for fighting with some desperate housewifes and... nothing.

It seemed that the last day was even better than the days before...

Anyway I love traditions, I love Christmas and I can't wait 'til next year =)...

But after all ...

I think it is all about making someone happy =)

The feeling that someone is happy because of you. Your present, your could meal, your time together, your whatever...

but making someone happy should not be such a stress....

Merry Christmas

dines

Fugges are back....

Oh man it's been a long time since I listened to fuggees.
On monday (12-19-05) I had the chance to see them live.

READY OR NOT HERE I COME...

It was just incredible all the songs from the album score in a slightly different version but still as regognizeable to sing along.

KILLING ME SOFTLY

Lauren Hill whow what a performace she was the blast. Her voice was just ... just as ten years ago. For my opinion one of the best voices in hip hop business.
Pras aka "Getto Superstar" a little bit more in the background but with his solo song ... party, party, party.

COWBOYS

And than the man himself Wyclef Jean. Just to much power and creativity.

It was realy like back in the days...

Great (mo)ments and good times... glad that I could share this time with my brother and two very good friends of mine.

We use to dance to this songs 10 years ago and the songs are still making us move...

One point which was a little sad, was that they totaly stop after the last song... the crowd was crying for some more but nothing...

Instead Wyclef decided to take of some close and threw it into the crowd...

but after all what should I say.

IT WAS JUST SENSATIONAL...

but I hope Wyclef is coming solo to Germany ....
