Swinging the hammer at Scooploop, but am I worthy?
On my personal wall I am posting about random stuff I stumble upon, South London and sometimes tech.
I post a lot of photos and short videos, if that interests you, follow me.

"M" by German director Fritz Lang (who emigrated to the US later) from 1931 is probably one of the most significant expressionist movies. The story of a child murderer and the way society reacts to the crimes was groundbreaking at the time. Peter Lorre, who later made a career in Hollywood (Casblanca, Arsenic and old Lace), plays the leading role. The movie can now be found for free on the internet and there are English subtitles, I've read once that there is a dubbed version from the 1930s but have never watched it. There are also several horrible remake attempts, best ignored.

Say what you want about Schwarzenegger's acting skills, but he is the perfect fit for the 1990 science fiction comic style version of Total Recall (much better than the remake). IMHO his best movie.

Blue Origin BE-4 engine test fire. This engine has not flown yet, it is planned to be used on ULA's new Vulcan rocket at the end of 2022 or early 2023.

Recommendation: Mulholland Drive by David Lynch (2001), in my opinion his best movie and maybe one of the best movies ever. You will definitely have to watch it more than once as the extremely complex.

I highly recommend "Seven Samurai" by Akira Kurosawa (1954), not only a classic of Japanese cinema, but a movie which influenced the modern Western (especially The Magnificent Seven, which is basically an American remake of it), Star Wars, Tarantino and many others.

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has established an extraordinary new benchmark: detecting the light of a star that existed within the first billion years after the Universe’s birth in the Big Bang (at a redshift of 6.2) — the most distant individual star ever seen. https://esahubble.org/news/heic2203/

Watched Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" on Friday night, for the first time in 10 years I think, still an amazing movie, probably one of the best ever made. For those who do not know it, it has almost nothing to do with the Stephen King novel (apart from the basic plot). Every scene has so many layers it's unbearable :) If you havn't watched it yet, I highly recommend you do so.

One of my other all time favourites as recommendation: "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" (2000) by the Coen Brothers, starring George Clooney and John Goodman. Absolutely funny and actually deeper than it looks at first sight, the story of three prison escapees in rural Mississippi in the late 1930s.
