Guerilla-Filme fürs Fernsehvolk
Wie verfilmt man "Das Kapital" von Karl Marx? Wenn es einer kann, dann Alexander Kluge. Mit stehenden Ovationen ehrte die jüngere Generation den Regie-Partisanen beim Deutschen Filmpreis. Kluge, der Extrem-Filmemacher, greift weit zurück – und noch weiter voraus, zur iPod-Generation.

Four sound effects that made TV history
The BBC's Radiophonic Workshop, a pioneering force in sound effects, would have been 50 this month. Ten years after it was disbanded, what remains of its former glory?
Deep in the bowels of BBC Maida Vale studios, behind a door marked B11, is all that's left of an institution in British television history.
A green lampshade, an immersion tank and half a guitar lie forlornly on a shelf, above a couple of old synthesisers in a room full of electrical bric-a-brac.
These are the sad remnants of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, set up 50 years ago to create innovative sound effects and incidental music for radio and television.

Die "Simpsons" verbieten will jetzt auch Argentinien: Eine Folge veralbert den früheren Staatschef Juan Perón.
Den Anfang machte Venezuela, wo vor kurzem "Die Simpsons" von den Bildschirmen verbannt wurden.

Die Arschbombenparade
Aus zehn Metern Höhe ins Wasser einzuschlagen, kann sehr weh tun - dabei zusehen zu müssen auch. Einen Abend lang malträtierten Stefan Raab & Co. mit sportlichem Klamauk die eigenen Hinterteile - und das Sitzfleisch des Publikums.

'Weeds' goes up in smoke
Weeds went to blazes in the hot-hot-hot final episode of Season 3 ("Go"). ML Parker Blame it on Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) who hired drug thug Guillermo (Guillermo Diaz) for muscle after bikers threatened her weed business. Guillermo wasted no time, torching the bikers' outdoor pot field, which turned into a raging forest-fire, mirroring the recent Southern California inferno.
Then Nancy literally burned down her house, leaving the bud-dealing family homeless as the head into Season 4 in 2008.

Schmidt & Pocher wegtreten
Ich habe jetzt 2 Mal „Schmidt & Pocher“ gesehen. Leider muss ich feststellen, dass dieser Pocher noch schlimmer als Stefan Raab ist.

Adam Curtis - The TV elite has lost the plot
Adam Curtis is one of the jewels in the BBC's crown - as well as one of its fiercest critics.
His documentaries are rich, complex histories of ideas that have surprised BBC executives with their popularity amongst younger viewers: his montage technique and visual jokes reward repeated viewings.
The Century of the Self told the story of how Freud's nephew invented modern public relations. The Power Of Nightmares described how the myth of the al-Qaeda "network" had to be invented so a terror trial could be heard under America's RICO laws. The Trap describes how reductionist and paranoid logic of game theory influenced psychology, biology and eventually social policy.
(Curtis is also an advisor to Popbitch)
Over two interviews with us, Curtis lays into a TV class that has lost its confidence, run out of ideas, and fallen back on "user generated content" as a salvation.
He explains how bloggers are bullies, warns of the snake oil salesmen of the internet's "new democracy", and suggests how to repair a BBC in crisis.
