I can’t stop watching this trailer.

Anybody knows where the music is from?

On a sidenote: The Baseballs in Zurich in November 09. Got my tickets. Check them out. They’re totally worth it.

I absolutely loved Transformers 2.

I know a lot of people are disappointed and a lot of people didn’t like the twin autobots being hip and cool but they cracked me up and others were annoyed by how much Michael Bay had to make sure everyone saw that Megan Fox is the hottest piece of ass on this earth at the moment and most important that she has breasts but I sure as hell did not mind that either.

Yes, I’m superficial.

Also some other people were annoyed by all the special effects and slow motion scenes but again, I had half an orgasm during at least half of them. Also it was not long enough, definitely not too long. It should have been longer.

In fact, I want to buy a cinema and watch this movie on repeat for the next 20 years, that’s how much I loved it.

The Soundtrack is a masterpiece.

So, if you love action, special effects, hot chicks, awesome cars and lots of shooting? Don’t let yourself get discouraged by the bad reviews; it promises fun, it delivers fun.

No one ever asked for an intelligent deep movie and Michael Bay didn’t promise to deliver one. He did promise to deliver the above said though and that he sure did.

Gestern waren wir mal wieder im Zoo Zürich und ich habe mir Mühe gegeben die Existenzberechtigung meiner Kamera zu beweisen. Wir sahen allerhand, wie so oft, unter anderem auch sexuelle Aufklärung bei den Elefanten.

Während Andere wiederum am beobachten waren, sehr aufmerksam. (Das ist das erste Mal, dass ich den roten Panda sah, sonst war er immer versteckt.)

Die Meisten wollten aber einfach nur schlafen.

Und ja ich wollte unbedingt so ein Ferkel mit nach Hause nehmen, aber es wurde mir untersagt. Im Regenwald sah ich dann noch Lemuren, auch dies war das Erste Mal!

Der Rest in der Gallerie.

Roger und Chris, das wäre doch was für euch?

Am 18. November findet das Konzert von Muse im Hallenstadion Zürich statt, jetzt Tickets bei Ticketcorner bestellen.

Es wird die Resistance Tour sein und natürlich kommt sie mitsamt einem neuen Album. Hoffentlich aber auch eine Menge alter Songs und einer ebenso genialen Bühnenshow wie vor drei Jahren in Genf.

Das Erscheinungsdatum konnte ich noch nicht ausfindig machen.

Übrigens hat auch Placebo gerade ein neues Album herausgebracht: Battle for the Sun. Hammermässig. (Die werden beim Paléo übrigens auch dieses Jahr dabei sein.)
