"Rango": Maybe the better Western this March? The evil

I know a very bold claim and I wonder Once only provocative in the round, for "True Grit" I have not seen yet. When completed next week. What I can say definitely: "Rango" presented damn good!

A nameless Chameleon is thrown by a stupid car accident out of his owner on a highway. Some inconvenience later he finds himself far from the road again in the small western town of dirt. Residents are not exactly welcome there (and do not survive long, the townspeople know from experience), so he called Rango and plays the great hero who knows how many rogue who has folded. After Rango more by luck than sense a dangerous Raptor has done, he is made the sheriff. But dirt there is a big problem: The water is gone. Rango promises to regain it - but there are people who want to make him a spanner in the works. And the dreaded rattlesnakes Jake will also "expect" ...

Gore Verbinski logs on to the "Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy with a computer-animated Western about a chameleon existence of problems and all sorts of strange desert cornered animal back. After the trailers, I was rather skeptical. I could not classify the film: Was it a comedy? Or is it a Western? Like the surreal scenes fit with giant plastic fish on the very real animated residents of dirt? All very strange. And then even more so I went with no expectations in the film - which I had heard so far sounded positive, and as Johnny Depp participated as Rango, I had to watch the movie anyway. * G *

And I'm really surprised positively. I added "Rango" liked very much, and he is quite bizarre with a slightly warped sense of humor (no surprise that there would join Depp ...), but above all, a true Western. I know myself in this genre from now is not soooo good, but even I have several items to the good old Western film noticed and I think Western connoisseurs will find the right place when it comes to nice allusions. I personally am very about the hint of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and especially "At World's End" happy. * G * The plastic fish is also explained. * G *

The characters are filmed beautifully and always offer great potential for smaller gags on the edge, it was the strange "Indian" deputy sheriff with his "Lone Star" Hilfsscheriffsmarke, and the bird with an arrow through the eye * shake *, the cattle with the "tu" voice error (voiced by Martin Semmelrogge, hah, I was right!), the lizard girl bean with its too inconvenient time set up a survival mechanism ... All wonderfully wacky characters, and Rango, of course, particularly stands out. He does not know who he is, where he belongs, has no goal in mind. So he plays the hero, how he did it in his terrarium always. Basically we have in him the classic hero's journey - it grows on the tasks it comes to case, gets back up. This is not new, but Verbinski is selling just fine and entertaining, and always a wry fractures.

waiting In the original synchronization with stars like Johnny Depp just, Isla Fisher, Bill Nighy (yes, the Verbinski again gathered a few old friends * g *), Ray Winstone and Alfred Molina. In the German version is dispensed to happiness to "big" name and role-occupied compliant. David Nathan, Depp's master speaker speaks, Rango and I like it the first time fully for some time now good again. Especially in Depp's "real" movies of the last time as "Public Enemies" and especially in "The Tourist" I found it not as good as before, somehow I was missing something. Maybe he tried too hard to adapt to Depp's original voice, or the stakes as Batman put him too much in the bone - he sounded somehow different . Here he provides, however, from full-fiepsig jumps between anxious and tough back-heroic and forth and I like it - maybe - even a little better than Depp himself * g * I did the movie, of course, not yet fully seen in the original, but in the I've seen, I sometimes reminded Depp a little too much to Kermit. * G *
The other German speakers do really good work, you have chosen many character voices, so I am particularly pleased to Wolfgang point, Tilo Schmitz and flat bread, Martin Rogge (Waffles as a toad). I was surprised that Michael Kessler ("Switch") Rattlesnake Jake says. I did not recognize, but very well done. TheBossHoss sing the funny Mexican owls combo that comment on the events always highly dramatic.

Visually, "Rango" look great. This was true Western flair, dusty plains, the withered cacti, beautiful sunsets, dead bushes, across the street To roll glaring sunlight, the right dirty city ... This wonderful little things (the post office building is an old American mail box, the images in the office of the mayor) and of course all the references to the Western genre as duels at 12 clock at noon, the atmosphere in the saloon (silence and watching the strangers), the ride through the prairie, the appearance of a Western icon as "Spirit of the West." I am sure I am not even half of the notice, so expect the scene in this film. Toll, the great chase, including air assault to Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries"! I left the cinema

in a real high mood, which may may have also leaned on the great music by Hans Zimmer (another old friend * g *), which accompanies us in style through the guy (who is animated and very beautiful). I think I must get the soundtrack. The music is in the best sense of the Classic Western, with quiet parts, but also many heroic "ride towards the sun" - and "Dramatic battle" moments. Very nice and appropriate.

If you want to necessarily look for something negative, you could certainly say that the last third is not as funny (we get to the point of the dramatic action), that history does not necessarily reinventing the wheel and we the bad guys on the first glance, recognize. But honestly, I was totally not care! I've entertained me great! :)

Conclusion: Gore Verbinski surprised with a really good, humorous Western full of bizarre characters. are certainly not for the little ones, but slightly older viewers are likely to cinema of "Rango" entertain great.

right to decide: What can you learn from martial artists

Several times a day we make decisions - sometimes they are more, sometimes less important. We make the right, but wrong decisions. How exactly does the decision-making that goes on in us has been the subject of numerous scientific studies. We have gained many useful insights - but still no recipe for how we will always make the right decision.

martial artist must quickly make many decisions: evasion or attack, block or counter until now? Where are the weaknesses of the opponent, which technique I attack? How to fend off attacks? All these choices are in fractions of seconds hit - wrong decisions are punished in a split second.

For more than ten years, I practice Shotokan Karate and was kept busy during this time also with the cultural backgrounds of Asian martial arts. In works of Asian literature, there are some hints how to make effective and efficient decisions.


is an old saying. "Think sharp and decide within seven breaths" Lord Takanobu said once: ". A lot of thinking blunts the sharp edge of a decision" (1)

If you have a have to make decisions, will reward you as much information as is absolutely necessary, but as few as possible. You will probably never be in possession of any information that could influence your decision. So not even looking for it. At long consideration leads to hesitation and doubt. And to make a decision to be taken and act on them is better than not to act and move to a decision before them. If you understand the topic and already have some experience, your intuition is a good adviser. In this case, listen to your gut feeling.


A rule that left by Prince Naoshige in the "letter to the Wall" was reads as follows: ". things of great importance to be tackled left" Ittei says in his preface to this rule: "things of little importance to be seriously addressed." (1)

stress and stress are bad advisers . Important decisions you make when the queue without days, weeks, months to agonize over his head. Make sure, however, that enough time and then have a clear head for that. Less significant decisions you take as soon and with as little effort as possible, so you have them off the table and out of my head. If you follow both, you always have enough resources for meeting the significant Decisions.


energy can be compared to the margins of a crossbow and a decision indeed to the actuation of the trigger. (2)

If you have ever shot with a crossbow, bow and arrow or a sporting firearm, you probably know the situation. After the gun is cocked or created, you can target only a short time focusing the target. It starts before your eyes blur, the arm strength is waning, the attitude is unrihger. The longer you targeted the goal of the critical point out, the less accurate the shot. So if you have created the basis for your decision: Decide You use and your energy, and aggressively implement the decision. Aim is useless if you do not pull the trigger.

Sesame Street: "Avenue Q" 30T


Granted, a nine months delay is quite a lot and yeah, I am ashamed. But now, at last week held the German premiere in St. Gallen, I let myself be carried away to a critique of "Avenue Q".

Two friends and I have visited this musical last year during our vacation in London, not knowing that the show would be closed after five-year term in October. Very sad, I would like to leave the next went in again.

short to action: Princeton has his college degree in his pocket and is desperately seeking affordable accommodation. He ends up at some point in the Avenue Q - everything looks a little shabby, but people seem to be nice, but they have not got a clue what they do with their lives as he did. Fits perfectly so. There is the somewhat bumbling landlord Brian and his feisty girlfriend Chinese Christmas Eve, the former child star Gary Coleman, Rod and Nicky, who share an apartment, and ... Kate Monster, in which Princeton immediately in love. Among the various complications following contribute two "Bad Idea Bears" and the glamorous Lucy T. Slut. Chaos, stupid dreams, a wedding, sex, accidental injury, Scientology - in Avenue Q will find it all. And sometimes good friends.

This musical demands a lot from the cast really. There are only three human roles: Brian, Christmas Eve and Gary Coleman, all other actors play at least two dolls. And that's real work - such as changing sometimes within seconds from one to the other doll, as the cast their votes in accordance with have to adapt immediately and we considered it as a spectator as absolutely credible, that's impressive! In addition, they have not only the dolls are alive, but the emotions reflected in their facial expressions and body posture. Pure entertainment.

is particularly glaring example of the difference between Kate Monster (cute shy, soft voice) and Lucy T. Slut (erotically breathy voice, lewd messages), which are both played by the same actress (from when we visited the understudy Rachel Jerram, great).
whole large class was Paul Spicer as Princeton and Rod - speak to you immediately knew by its nature, what character he played straight; Rod has always had a slightly uptight touch in his voice, but he is also the one who definitely, absolutely one hundred percent perfect is not at all gay. Super
were Jacqueline Tate and Siôn Lloyd Christmas Eve and Brian, absolutely adorable and damn funny. The audience favorite of the human characters, however, was clearly Gary Coleman, played by Delroy Atkinson. He was simply super nice, has some of the best Srpüche and to another one of the most memorable songs ("You can be as loud as the hell you want [when you're making love]" including dolls, have wild sex ... you simply have to see yourself, it was screamingly funny).
The puppet characters Tom Parsons acknowledged as Nicky / Trekkie Monster (Kate's brother) at the most from. His facial expression was just hilarious, but then he has gotten with Trekkie also the craziest / most iconic figure. Trekkie is a huge doll, and it always had to join a second performer to move them. It consists only of skin and leaves the room as not so good, but sitting all day at the computer. And he issued his sister (and the audience, oh yes!) A lesson: "The internet is for porn". As he has brought over that later on the front edge of the stage with a standing look at the audience, who said very clearly: "I know what you all for horny guy are! "* g * The applause did not stop more ...

Anyway, all the characters are wonderful. compounded by the Bad Idea Bears, Princeton constantly urge to get drunk or Kate flat and down ... it looks like the Bears * g * Then the show is still alive of really nice ideas (an oversized Kate in a nightmare;. screens that support now and then certain places visually, the Lucy T. Sluts near-death experience, the running people, to to beg for money for Kate's school ...), has a very functional, but lovingly crafted stage set ... and is just really pretty bad. * g * The characters are sometimes clearly laid out on the Sesame Street, for example, reminds Trekkie to the Cookie Monster, but it will be particularly apparent when Nicky and Rod, the Bert and Ernie really in other colors.

And then the songs! The really common to them is that they are damn catchy! Only they can not sing loudly because they have such beautiful songs like "The internet is for porn", "Everyone's a little bit racist", "It sucks to be me" or "If you were gay" (sooooo grand-funny !). Then use the above embarrassing for the character "My grildfriend who lives in Canada, and one of the most entertaining songs for us," Schadenfreude. " Yes, in English there is no word for schadenfreude, and it is then accordingly declares: "Schadenfreude is German and means taking pleasure in the misery of others". - "Yes, that's very German." * G * Yes, we have mitgelacht loud - after all, were Chinese, African-Americans, Jews, and I still do not know who pulled everything as politically incorrect his leg. Beside us were two American girls who were probably surprised, first, that we see the fun were (before the start of the show we had indeed maintained in German), and in general it great thought, as the actors constantly "Fuck" and "Shit" said. * G * Yeah, that free-spirited Europe ... ;)

The hall was sold out and the atmosphere was great, like at a party. So its a great musical visit the site.

I hope that the German version is just as great, and that the translation is successful, it should not have been with all the songs so easily. But St. Gallen is indeed quite well known for quality, so I'm making because no major worries.

All in all a great, entertaining show - if you can do with the song titles and not something slightly incorrect humor immediately goes up the wall, which is "Avenue Q" love!
I hope that we will come here soon in Germany to enjoy this musical.

Tell me what you post, and I'll tell you who you are!

to believe! A letter I received today with the following content by the Office for the collection, storage and linkage of personal information:

"Dear Mr. Stein,
in the simplification of the collection, storage and linkage of personal information we ask you to continue at least daily updated release the following information about yourself:

- Satisfaction with your life situation
- Satisfaction with your job situation
- implemented and planned activities
- current and proposed staging
- current state of mind

more followed me very strange-looking information needs. And before I question my What are they doing with this data? could really think to the end, it was explained to me in writing, to which all must be good:

"The information provided will be collected by us is stored and linked to a personality, interests and physical profile. The collected information, we make available to interested institutions, corporations and individuals on request for free. "

What?

Of course, there is the center for collecting, storing and linking personal information only in my imagination.
course I also have never received such a letter.
course I would (and certainly not just me) to be shocked, if such a thing really existed.

On the other side:
course I find information on how they are called for in the fictitious letter from the fictitious center for collecting, storing and linking personal information from me, abound on the Internet, particularly on the social media platforms:

- Today we post our favorite brands in our public VZ profile to us a week later to wonder about the new catalogs.

- Eben we philosophize in the pub on the possibly illegal retention. With your phone in hand we twitter, meanwhile, calmly: "I'm at Rudy's Pub and after the fifth beer, the butts all ..."

- Our virtual photo albums are full of personal photos, our parents in their time, probably not even their friends have shown. We will show the same all over the world. The fact that a few other faces are on it with bother us much.

- And because I hit some really emotional parts again, I have the next three hours, all depressing songs via Facebook. Like me.

All just examples. Right.
But just look at Facebook, Twitter, VN & Co. to. Think about what you conclude from the sometimes thoughtless information published everything. Even more if they linked. This must happen not even in a big way - I do not believe in conspiracy theory.

But you will some very skillful negotiator somehow?
asked why the staff in the interview at certain points so after intense, as if he knew anything? Where does the seller actually knows
your personal hobbies and preferences?
How do the insurance agent that you crave right now for a bit more security?

Also all purely fictitious examples.

Crisis Management: Positive! Offensive!

Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg has resigned ( resignation statement in the text). And I am firmly convinced that it is not the plagiarism scandal was in itself, the most popular politicians ultimately forced to resign. He would have survived. He is a victim of a bad crisis management has become ...

But how does real crisis management? What should be communicated as to prevent the end, everything is worse than it already is?

Good crisis management must meet two main requirements:

Positive! Offensive!

means:

first You act instead of reacting.
action you are considering, but quickly. Better You talk as that is talked about you. Do not go into a permanent defensive posture, from which you are constantly busy with the writing of denials.

second Generate maximum transparency.
Put all the facts on the table. All. Also, the (so far) no one has yet discovered or communicated. Hope or you do not trust that something is coming to light.

third Avoid negation.
Avoid emotive words in communication - with the words, the pictures, in spite of negation:

Now think red is not a monkey!

What have you just thought? Let me guess ...

Wrong: I'm not a liar.
Correct: I say the truth.

Wrong: There is no reason to panic.
Correct: The situation is under control.

5th Show humility.
If you are guilty, ask credible excuse.
If necessary, consider further consequences.
