Maria – Metropolis‘ Evil Seductress

Published on Dienstag, Januar 23rd, 2007

One of the first entries here discussed Metro- polis, a science-fiction-based movie released in 1927 by Fritz Lang. Now, 80 years after its première, toy company Stenco, known for its robots since 1955, reconstructed Maria. Created when the face and soul of human activist Maria is transferred to a female robot, robot Maria now becomes […]


Comptine D’un Autre Ete by Stevie Ryan

Published on Montag, Januar 22nd, 2007

Nothing much happened during my absence of You Tube. Apart from another Ooolalaa music clip featuring The White Stripes with „Seven Nation Army“, the Littleloca stuff is still the same and gets kind of boring actually. Nevertheless other interpretations by Stevie Ryan keep my attention. Once again she has done a wonderful nostalgia vid that’s […]

Published on Mittwoch, Juli 26th, 2006

And here is No. 3: Since my entry on Stevie Ryan aka Littleloca, the new born YouTube Star, I received tons of hits and various comments on yet another issue of stereotypes, ethnicity and identity. It would be too much to get into the whole thing again, I only use the opportunity to at least […]

Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean 2

Published on Montag, Juni 19th, 2006

We all remember Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl in 2003, I’m sure. Personally, I think, one of the funniest and best movies I have seen in the last years, which might be due to Johnny Depp acting as one of my favourites, the feeling of such easy entertainment with […]

Published on Sonntag, Juni 18th, 2006

Guess who? Roxanne (The Police) interpreted cinematographically by Ooolalaa aka LittleLoca aka Stevie Ryan. One of my all-time favourite songs…
