Watched 'The Lives of Others' last night on blu-ray, projector, DTS 5.1...
A magnificent film, well worth watching despite the subtitles.

A very involving insight into the dubious practices of the Stasi in 1984 DDR, with a gripping storyline
Cheers, Will
Superb, isn't it? Tim pointed me to it and I found it fascinating, particularly as I was in Berlin last week and toured the East side, visiting the ex-Stasi HQ and other parts near the wall. An incredibly oppressive regime.Originally Posted by WAD62

Hi Martin
Did you take a look at the Russian/Soviet embassy , now that's a statement.
The Sex museum near the Zoo garden was interesting
Drinking until 6 am with the very friendly locals at Dicke Virtin was an endearing memory
I love Berlin , great city .

We certainly saw the Russian embassy. Unfortunately there wasn't time for the sex museum, although Ruth has been there previously(!) As for drinking and friendliness, we did enjoy ourselves.
It is a great city, but not a pretty one. The 1960/70s rebuilding did them no favours at all.

Did somebody say sex museum?

Some people have no idea what they're doing and a lot of them are really good at it.

Just watched The Final Destination the 2009 made for 3D "gruesome accident fest" - complete nonsense but thoroughly enjoyable too, if I hadn't been eating a kebab with lots of ketchup...
