Snow Snow Snow

Last weekend I spend some days at home (not far from the location where the speck hack fest has been earlier this month). I've arrived Thursday night and on Friday morning I was surprised by a beautiful view out of my room:




I spend the whole Friday afternoon to scoop our entranceway free of snow! But it was snowing and snowing and snowing so I decided to use my time otherwise. This is the result:


(ok, its not my work only, the whole thing was started by my aunt and we built it together)

Can you believe this happened only few weeks after the speck hack fest only 30km from the venue? I've not been there but I think nobody would have expected snow fall in the cities some weeks after. You can find the pictures here.

After the exhausting creative snow art in the city I had to go out into the forests and mountains of our country :D Enjoy it.

Quantum of Solace

Quantum of Solace...I think the most of you know what I mean, it's the newest James Bond film.

Don't be afraid, you can read to the bottom of this entry, I won't tell you the finish :D

What I liked:
It begins like a real bond film, with a lot of potential to become a great film.

What I didn't like:
Plain characters, there are some people in the film which play a more or less important role but you simply don't know who they are.
Too much Bourne, more Bond would have been nice :D
Sequel in a sequel? James Bond is already a sequel, why begin a new intern sequel? Sequel means: open end, thats not what belongs into a bond film.

Overall:
Its quite a good action thriller, but if you want to see a real bond film, go and watch James Bond Goldfinger :D (Bond: "Do you want me to talk?" Goldfinger: "No, I just want you to die!" - epic dialogue!)

Hopefully they learn something and begin to think about what a James Bond film should definitely have (something happens, bond gets called to M, he gets a job, he goes to Q to get some fancy new stuff, bond meets a nice girl, he gets caught by the bad guy, somehow he manages to escape and fight against the bad guy, bond wins the last battle, even if one of his girls is dead he finds a new one, last scene: bond with his girl somewhere nobody else is ;) )

In casino royale this sequence of scenes gets interrupted when the film continues after bond and his girl are on the boat in Venice! If the film would have finished there, it would have been quite a good bond film (with some escapades).

In my opinion, for those of you who have seen casino royale and quantum of solace: They should have finished casino royale on the boat in Venice and started quantum of solace in Venice when bond finds out that his girl plays against him, then she gets killed and the story goes on.
