This one features Dr. Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) — a Prometheus crew member. No new insight into the actual movie (or is there?). Still, it’s a good one.

To launch the high quality TV channel TNT in Belgium we placed a big red push button on an average Flemish square of an average Flemish town. A sign with the text “Push to add drama” invited people to use the button. And then we waited… Discover here what happened or visit http://www.tnt-tv.be for more info.

Fred Armisen of Saturday Night Live and Portlandia fame came to my hometown to do a Portlandia promo (apparently showing on a Swedish channel I didn’t even know existed). Luckily for him — and us — his profession is not in travel guides; he gets everything wrong in this short guide. That’s the point, I guess.

I think I did a post about this with season 1 of Boardwalk Empire — but I’m not sure. Anyway, here is the one for season 2. BTW, I’ve yet to see a single episode of Boardwalk Empire (I’m a bit ashamed to admit). It’s always good to have a complete season — or two — of a TV series in store when all else fails. Some info about the video from the Vimeo page:

I’m eagerly awaiting the movie Prometheus. June 2012 can’t come fast enough. Some info from Wikipedia:

Prometheus is an upcoming science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott and starring Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce, Idris Elba, Logan Marshall-Green and Charlize Theron. The film was originally conceived as a prequel to Scott’s 1979 science fiction horror film Alien; however, the events of Prometheus will not precede any of the characters or storylines from the Alien franchise. According to Scott, though the film shares “strands of Alien’s DNA, so to speak”, Prometheus will explore its own mythology and universe and is not directly linked to Alien. Filming began in March 2011, and Prometheus is scheduled for release in the USA on June 8, 2012 through 20th Century Fox.

Loads of info at the Wikipedia page if you would like to know more, and you do. You also need to see the trailer in 720p or 1080p over at Apple Trailers. It’s that good.


A lot of things points to this being a super-terrific film. The director; Ridley Scott (duh!). One of the writers; Damon Lindelof of Lost fame. The cast; Noomi Rapace (Swedish!), Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce and Charlize Theron. Production designer; Arthur Max (Black Hawk Down, Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven).

I thought I’d post the trailer on Facebook to recommend it to my friends. When looking for the trailer on YouTube I once again found a great example of how a movie can be completely destroyed when trying to “Hollywoodize” it and make it accessible to a wider audience. First, have a look at the “Americanized” trailer:

It feels cheesy and light. Well, you might not even notice that so here, take a look at the original French version. Even though there are no subtitles you get a completely different feel — the correct feel of this movie. Here:

Am I right or am I right? If this was about two different movies; which one would you go see? I might have skipped it all together if I had seen the “Hollywood” version of the trailer. Luckily I didn’t see any trailer, I just trusted a friend. So, how was it? Well, it was rather good.

Yes, Hans Zimmer, the world renowned composer I wrote about not long ago needs your voice for the next Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises. Go to the site and listen to the example audio, then record your own voice. It’s simple really although the chant you are supposed to sing is a bit strange. I’ve not recorded my own voice yet but I will. You don’t have to sing; you can talk or even whisper the chant. If you’re into this sort of thing, I think it might be fun.
