Way too early in the morning, I decided to watch ‘Mahagonny’. Today’s link-bunch is brought to you by Jim Mahoney, so to say.
The biggest buzz on the Internet is still (and you can’t have missed it): ABC’s docudrama ‘Path to 9-11’. I think it’s sufficient to link to Google News. In 200 years, your grand-grand-grandkids will remember which US broadcaster made a national joke of itself. Or just maybe, in 20 years, one of Spielberg’s grandkids will make a movie about 9-11, but then with all the gore including a dramatization of the ‘jumping man’.
For the first time I agree with Scoble, in this case about the HP affair. Chairwoman goes a bit too far to find out who leaked information to the press. Too far as in ‘using probably illegal means’.
I was surprised but delighted to hear that Paul Verhoeven has returned to directing Dutch movies. However, it appears to me that he has some kind of obsession with the 2nd World War. His newest movie (recently released in Dutch theatres) ‘Zwart Boek’ (“Black Book”) tells the story of a Jewish girl who is accused of being a traitor. I read Verhoeven is also going to direct a movie about Masaharu “Beast of Bataan” Homma.
