Spotlight/Shoutout: Daniel Bruhl


So I am approaching the end of my 10 week intensive German class,

and I want to give the shoutout to one of Germany's most popular actors, Daniel B!

He has done hits such as "Goodbye Lenin" "The Edukators," and "Inglorious Bastards."

But I can see why he is so often used in German films. Daniel has a look and personality that display charisma and a sense of understanding.

It's too bad he's so old, or else he'd do well in a German version of "Catcher in the Rye."

But anyway, German films are a lot of fun, and I am watching "The Tunnel" tomorrow.
And no, I have no idea who is in it..............



QATFYG:
Do you have a favorite German actor? Franka Potente by chance?

    Klaus Kinski :) (german but, to be precise, born in Sopot, now Poland, Freie Stadt Danzig in 1926)
    I like the girl in The edukators a lot too. (did you like the movie? I saw it recently and was quite impressed) she was also in that movie about Sophie Scholl.

    if you enjoy german movies I'd like to suggest you Heimat by Edgar Reitz, an enciclopedia of german history in images :) and very enjoyable too

    yes, I did like the Edukators,
    I thought the main actress in it was good, but her character for me was a little hard to like.

    And I will look into Heimat, danke sehr. :)

Give JR a Break

Recently, I've been reading some sites that have criticized James Roday, the lead actor on the USA show PSYCH for an apparent weight gain. But you know what? Who gives a flying fizzle stick if James Roday is slightly larger than he was 4 years ago. Apparently, it wasn't enough to scare away his current girlfriend/ co-star Maggie Lawson. (Who is one hell of a Catch!) And NO they are not engaged. That seems to be nothing more than a rumor, but there is a very high chance of it happening in the near future. Anyway, as long as PSYCH continues to entertain I don't mind about James Roday's waist. He, and Dule Hill, and Corbin Bernson too, can eat all the fried broccoli they want. The last episode of PSYCH wasn't so smashing, but I don't blame it on dietary issues. QATFYG: Are you keeping up with Psych? And who is hotter, James Roday or Maggie Lawson? (Trick Question but idk why) PS: If you have heard any more news on Roday and Lawson becoming Roday-Lawson, send it

No Time to Fuck: The Goldfrapp Essay

Konnichiwa! This is Irina Cummings and I'm here to discuss one of the most brilliant, innovative, and creative artists in the entire history of mankind: Goldfrapp – or as I like to call them , GODfrapp – the fantastique, highly inspirational, and sometimes criminally overlooked electronic music duo from London consisting of Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory, whose godly music has certainly influenced the vast majority of today's synthpop ladies, including Lady Gaga, Little Boots, La Roux, Annie and Florence + the Machine (not electro but still worth your while). They're primarily known for their mind-blowing music (which have spanned pretty much every style of electronic music – and some non-electronic as well), their abstract, sexually ambiguous – at times forthright – lyrics which are often not gender- specific , and their elaborate shows, not to mention the amazing visual aesthetics of their work, conjuring images that masterly complement

An Open Letter to the Actress: Milena Govich

Dear Milena Govich, Hey, how are you? What is up? Well, I assume you might get 5-7 fan letters a week, but I hope the glitter on my envelope stood out to you. In all seriousness, I have not been the most loyal fan of your filmography, but in the opening credits of the 2006 show, “Conviction,” I got to see you in your underwear. Ever since then, I have been one of your most active online stalkers (not a crime in all states I think). In the next letter, I promise to include an underwear photo for you, so we'll be even. Milena, I remember even back to the days when you worked on one of those other 200 Dick Wolf projects you did...what was the name of that show? “Law and Order.” Yes, that was it. You made history as playing the first female lead detective on the “Law and Order” original franchise for your role as Detective Cassidy. However, I will have to note your performance was strongly tainted when Chevy Chase guest-starred and gave you the nickname, “Detective Sugar-Tits.” At leas
