Adolf’s partytime….

You just have to watch this one. It's quite hilarious. Makes one see things in perspective?

The englisch translation would be something like:

I'm sitting in my bunker,
in the middle of Berlin,
I've got hydro-cyanic acid pills and plenty of gasoline,
the airforce is gone, the navy and the army, too - World War 2 is just no fun no more.
I don't feel like surrendering,
- well, I've got 3 metres of reinforced concrete above me!
Surrender? Not me! I've still got "Blondy" [his German shepherd] - and a bottle of Chantré!
Adolf, you old Nazi-pig, will you finally surrender!
(- No!)
Adolf, you old Nazi-pig!
(- You'd love to see that, wouldn't you?)
Adolf, you old Nazi-pig, will you finally surrender!
(- I'll never surrender!)
Adolf, you pig!
I'm at war with 53 countries and the bombs don't fall on England but Germany.
Those allied bombers annoy me
because they don't just throw bombs but entire
carpets of them!
No one listens to me, everybody acts as he likes
and who' behind all that? It's this guy Churchill!
That really hurts, yes it does!
I'm left alone with "Blondie" and a bottle of
Chantré.
Adolf, you old Nazi-pig, will you finally surrender!
Adolf, you old Nazi-pig!
(- No, I will never surrender! That's out of the
question that this guy Churchill will to laugh up
his sleeve! No! That Churchill! I won't surrender!
I'll never surrender!
Don't be afraid, Blondie, we won't surrender...
Maybe we can even still win this war! I think so.
I'm really quite confident about that. Hopefully...

Oh, the credits.
"Walter Moers"? Okay...?
Stop! That's way too fast! Rewind, stop!

... it's all in English! Weird...

"GFP" - "great Führer-bunker"... probably spelled wrong.

Definetely one to watch

I just can't help it. Part one was one I liked already. It's gotta be Johnny Depp's appearance. Bloom I can mis, Depp not. He's charismatic in every movie. Take a peak, you'll love it. Savvie?

Visit the Museum

In Bruxelles you can visit the Palace Museum for Fine Arts ("Palais des Beaux Arts") or 'Bozar' from february 17th until may 5th. They will give an expostition of the 'Wiener Werkstatte'. A very fine and exclusive collection of Art Nouveau and Impressionists will pass before your eyes.

More than a thousand objects from the MAK in Vienna and from international collections present the utopian vision of the Wiener Werkstätte, the “Viennese Workshop” of the decorative arts, which gave us the Stoclet House here in Brussels. Gesamtkunstwerk ? total work of art, by the score!
In the first decades of the 20th century the Wiener Werkstätte set themselves the objective of reconciling the fine and applied arts, of disseminating art throughout all aspects of life, and of taking the same pains with the simplest objects of everyday life as with works of art.
The leading lights, Josef Hoffmann and Kolo Moser, inspired and led a group of artists that distinguished itself in every creative domain. The exhibition offers an in-depth analysis of the designs and solutions put forward in response to the needs of early 20th-century society. The finest example of a total work of art produced by the Wiener Werkstätte is unquestionably the Palais Stoclet in Brussels, the most remarkable collective work of international art nouveau. So it is only right and proper to place the Palais Stoclet in the foreground of this exhibition. The contemporary artist Heimo Zobernig is creating an exceptional scenography for the exhibition, in dialogue and in harmony with the architecture of the Centre for Fine Arts.
