Hearing this man speak about cinema, you could get

Hearing this man speak about cinema, you could get the impression that it is something sacred. And I would agree.

Today at @omrockstars Festival Tarantino spoke of cinema as a shared experience, people experiencing and talking about the art.

Among many other things today made me want to buy his books and listen to his future podcast.

You can get the movie nerd out of the weekly sneak preview, but the love of movies never fades.

High velocity speaker but also an active listener.

Quentin Tarantino was an intellectual delight at @omrockstars festival 2022.

Usually I don’t particularly like big audience motivational speeches but his recounting of his early days in film was honestly inspiring.

After 3 years of working on it he basically scrapped his first movie and treated the experience as his personal version of film school.

Never give up.

This is what max zoom made out of this year’s highlight speaker at @omrockstars , Mr Quentin Tarantino.

More pictures will follow but I kind of like this one with all the raised smartphones. Captures the atmosphere.

Markus Lanz & Richard David Precht debating the future of work @ OMR2022.

In any case: Highly entertaining.

Two rhetoricians definitely at work and seemingly enjoying it.

What is your take:

Will we run out of work?

How will the nature of work and our relation with it change?

I am very fond of enjoying a proper Afternoon Tea.

I am very fond of enjoying a proper Afternoon Tea. Yes, even the cucumber sandwiches. Especially the cucumber sandwiches!

One of the best Hamburg locations for this wonderful ritual, or really just for any way of having a cup of tea, is in the Wohnhalle (living room) at @fairmont_hotelvierjahreszeiten .

Unfortunately Afternoon Tea is not that established in Germany. Only a very few select places offer it on a regular basis.

All the better when the atmosphere of the room suits the occasion.

@fairmont_hotelvierjahreszeiten does deliver in this regard and the experience itself is excellent. My thanks and compliments to all the staff!

If you ever find yourself in Hamburg, allow yourself a good cup of 🫖. You will not regret it!

Wishing you all a lovely weekend!

The new bookshelves have arrived and I could not be happier.

Sorting books feels like receiving gifts:

So many unread treasures hidden in those stacks!

Today’s post however is covering some of the more recent acquisitions in the gaming and fantasy department.

A fantasy treasure trove from @cdpred @cdpr_dach ‘s Witcher to several books related to @warhammerofficial, to the wonderful hardcovers by @freeleaguepublishing and @crosscult !

I will have much fun with this nerdy corner of my ever growing library!

One book slipped into this section purely because it was such a great physical fit in terms of the free slot.

Can you spot which one?

This is the actual, no-filter view you get when standing under the “Gesellschaftsspiegel” by Ólafur Elíasson.

You can find this piece of art, consisting of, two sculptures designed to invite the audience to take a view, at the @AlterWall in Hamburg.

Today it was a particularly sunny day around here, so I did not hesitate to give it a go. And yes, it looks cool in real life, too.

If you are blessed with great powers of observation and attention to detail you can even get a glimpse of me in the lower left corner. And all over the place.

Wishing you all a wonderful and restorative weekend!

People who have gotten to know me for only the bri

People who have gotten to know me for only the briefest amount of time know that I love to play all manner of games.

Analog, digital, hybrid, all of them.

When you are hanging out around me it is almost impossible not to get dragged into some sort of gaming session or another.

Currently Middle-earth is seeing a renaissance in my household.

Maybe this is due to the @amazonstudios series set to release later this year or maybe it is just a serious bout of Hobbit flavoured nostalgia.

In any case the small-folk are populating my workbench again whenever I want to get away from the screen and all manner of professional thoughts for a while.

Tonight I worked on this humble first version of the ringbearer Mr Baggins Jr himself. Not a bad start, what do you think?

Can‘t wait to get the game to the table!

PS: The wonderful map in the background is part of the recent hardcover release of @freeleaguepublishing ‘s The One Ring.

If you like Middle-earth definitely check this out!

I distinctly remember my first visit to the Sony Center in Berlin.

It was 2005, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was playing at the cinema and I was one of many eager BERMUN delegates.

Good times!

Even more than a decade later the ensemble has kept a certain charm and I still think that it would not feel out of place in any other current European metropolis.

A couple of days I posted a glimpse of the evening sun gracing the roof of Hamburg City Hall.

That was quite beautiful. Historical architecture and all that. But as implied Hamburg is most certainly one thing: A city.

Bustling with people and commerce many parts of the city are more practical than romantic.

Are they still beautiful?

I’ll let you decide.

Today’s snapshot was taken only a few steps away from the location of the last one.

Personally I really like the two people having a chill afterwork on that roof.

It is hard to describe the sheer amount of Tolkien joy today’s delivery from Middle-earth has brought me.

@freeleaguepublishing have hit the mark with the precision of an elven archer!

This rendition of Middle-earth is modern yet pitch-perfect in every regard!

You can be sure to find many more impressions of this beautiful game here once I am able to get a group together to give it a go!
