Re: Notre Dame is Burning :(
It is not yet sure, if the famous windows and the organ can be saved. There are serious worries that the water used to stop the fire, has damaged the vault of the building. On a personal note, this church meant a lot to me because I visited it on the rare occasions, when I could meet my birth mother...

My daughter and I agreed that we could have easily done without Tauriel. The story would have worked without her turning up imo. Not sure about Thranduil. I think I need another viewing to make up my mind about him. The pub-scene in Bree was very similar to the one in FOTR. I am glad that the rest o...

For me, posting on a messageboard is definitely conversation - not publication at all. For me it is both. While I am not able to take back my words in a face to face conversation, I can give my posts on a message-board some thought, edit them and even delete them, if I change my mind. Therefore som...

But I'm not sure that I feel like the trees and the turkey and the ornaments *are* Christmas, ... I think of the traditions of the holiday somewhat separately from the religious reason for the holiday. This is exactly how I feel. Certain rituals belong to certain religious holidays. Coloured eggs a...

I am also Catholic and I've never been happy about him as Pope for the same reasons as Alatar. This office is a heavy burden and his resignation came only a few days after a huge scandal concerning German hospitals run by the RCC. I suspect that after dealing with the sexual abuse scandal for most o...

I've just come home from the cinema. I'm in two minds about the film. For starters, I had no chance to see it in English and the dubbing is never the same. I will do that as soon as I can. The 3D techniques made some nice effects on the atmosphere and landscape. Also I think the special 3D effects w...

Ten years ago I refused to watch FOTR or TTT. I had read the books years ago and had enjoyed them. But the media hysteria put me off the movies. My children went to the pictures and in the gap between TTT and ROtK they watched the FOTR DVD at home. I had some spare time and jumped in right in the mi...

I'm kinda creeped out by stories of celebration in the streets, though. That's just wrong . When you put down a rabid dog, you don't celebrate- you regret the necessity and, in this case, wonder why it took so long. That's exactly how I feel about it. There is not really a reason to celebrate imho....

The German press is cautiously optimistic. They say that this might be a start to a change. The Pope cannot suddenly make a U-turn and he seems to have rendered the other Catholic dignitaries quite speechless. Today the spokesman of the Vatikan, Lombardi, has tried to clarify some of the statements ...
