Mostly Positive German Reviews Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Our first one today is from Wraith. Germany certainly does seem to have a very devoted fanbase.

Yesterday I went to the movie premiere in Oldenburg. There was just one theatre to show it (in it's smallest showroom). There were at most 10 or 12 people present (definitely no WC fans beside of me). No trailers, no advertising, no service and the girl that checked the tickets was ugly as hell.

The movie itself was great. The dialogue was much better than in the original and the synchronization was excellent. The only thing that bothered me were the Kilrathi voices (by the way, they were pronounced "Kilrati" with a German `R`). They sounded like growling Norwegian blackmetallers. But altogether it was a great space-war-movie which can compete with other current science fiction.

I was there with 2 friends who hadn't known much about Wing Commander before. They both liked it, and none of them had problems understanding the plot. In spite of it, I don't think that they'll become fans.

We sure try our best to induct new recruits though, don't we? :)

Food Wasting Fad Leads to Famine Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Lendel H. Hill is on the spot. A new fad has found favour among the inhabitants of Hephaestus; food wasting. An old lady spoke out yesterday: 'It's terrible; all these young folk ordering food, and then throwing it straight in to the BinBot. It wouldn't have happened in my day'. President De Bargos yesterday declared a state of planetary emergency, and issued police with orders to shoot any individual who throws away food without consuming at least 57% of it. Stocks of all foodstuffs are said to be seriously depleted.
