Do you know Crash? If not, let me introduce you to him. Crash is a game character made for the PlayStation console. He was in his first game, Crash Bandicoot in 1996. 10 years later it was also emulated on the PlayStation Network, through which it can be played on the PlayStation Portable and, as of Operating System update 1.70, on the PlayStation 3. I have also seen Crash of the Titans for both Wii and X-box.
Crash has gone through a lot since 1996. Crash Bandicoot 1, 2 and 3, "Crash Nitro Cart" and "Crash Mind over Mutants" are a few I remember.
I just bought "Crash of the Titans" for my PSP. It's been a while since I gamed, the last games I played was "Sims Busting Out" and "Tekken 5", both for PSP. So I thought I wanted something new, and since Crash has always appealed to me, I decided for this one.
I started playing it a few days ago, and I am already bitten by it. In Crash of the Titans, Crash is able to beat his enemies and hijack them so he can gain control of their huge and various powers.
One of the reasons that I like Crash is that he is both cute, adventorous, and sure knows how to kick ass! 
It's so cool. I already love the game! 
There are only two minuses so far:
- Some of the levels are a bit long, and you can't save in between levels. So sometimes I have to play for a longer period of time than I intended.
- I get sore thumbs.

Mmmm, I just had my first strawberries today. Big, red, juicy and very, very tasty.
These are "Honeoye" - originally an American crossing, but is now often grown in Denmark because of their sweet taste. These are usually the first ones on the Danish market.
Yum.

You don't have to pucker up your lips, because this has got nothing to do with kissing. No, this is about a KISS concert I went to yesterday.
Kiss started their band back in 1973, so they called this tour "KISS Alive/35 World Tour", and these old men were very much alive!
They had chosen "From First to Last" as a warm-up band. I had never heard any of their music before, but the sound was pretty bad, so I crossed fingers and hoped the sound would be better when Kiss came on stage. After about 45 minutes they finally packed their gear and the waiting began. After another 45 minutes where people became more and more in the mood for the concert, it finally began with the words:
"You wanted the best. You got the best. The hottest band in the world!" 
I got fireworks, glitter and platform shoes. I got the atmosphere of an era, that is long forgotten. I got Gene Simmons, just as bad as his rumour, wiggling his long tongue and spitting both fire and blood. And I got Paul Stanley, who was so vain that he kept ruffling his hair to make it look better! And he can sing!
I only got 3 songs that I knew, namely "Lick it up", "I was made for loving you baby" and "Shout it out loud". But it doesn't matter that I didn't know any of the other songs. There was a great party in Copenhagen yesterday, and Kiss surely knew how to start it!
And it was loud. Sooo loud. My ears still hurt, to be honest. But who gives a fuck! It was amazing!!!

I could hear the drums long before I could see anything. The sound went right through me like a deep pulse beat. I jostled my way closer, I wanted to see it all from the beginning. Suddenly I saw feathers above the crowd. They were here. The carnival parade!

Holly (Hilary Swank) has been married nine years to a wild Irishman, Gerry Kennedy (Gerard Butler), her one true love. Unfortunately Gerry is diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor. Knowing he only has a short time to live Gerry writes Holly a series of letters that will guide her through her grief.
The first message arrives on Holly's 30th birthday, where Gerry sends her a birthday cake and a tape recording explaining the letters that she will be getting in the mail. Over the next year, Gerry wants Holly to follow the orders in his letters by going on new adventures and to celebrate life by finding herself.
Holly's best friends, Denise (Lisa Kudrow) and Sharon (Gina Gershon), accompany her on her journey. Kathy Bates plays Holly's mom, and Harry Connick Jr. plays a guy who hits on Holly. I adore Kathy Bates! And I had to look up Harry Connick Jr. when I got home, I knew I had seen him in something else... I slapped my forehead when I saw that he played Leo, Grace's husband in 23 episodes of Will & Grace! 
No wonder I've seen him before!
It's been a while since I saw a real girl movie, and to be completely honest I didn't think this would be much different than any other girl movie. But I loved it. I sobbed and laughed by turns through the two hours it lasted.
I'll give it out of 6.
P.S. I love you

Weird title for a blog post?! Yes, indeed, and on the surface also a weird title for a movie. But it's the title of the so far most expensive Danish produced movie. 
The movie takes place in Copenhagen in the autumn of 1944 during World War II. Most of the Danes are restless and scared, and hoping for the war to end soon. The Flame and The Lemon are two persons from the Danish Resistance, and together they made the group "Holger Danske". They get their orders from highest place, the Danish chief of police, who claims to get his orders from the British.
When The Flame gets ordered to shoot his girlfriend, the beautiful and mysterious courier Ketty, he begins to question the orders. With a large reward offered for turning him in, things start to get difficult, and it shows that you can't be sure of who you can trust, and who you can't.
It was a very good movie, and it portrayed the main charachters very well. It was pretty long though!
I will give it out of 6.
Oh, btw, the title? The Flame was red-haired and the Lemon had a big role in bombing and destroying the Citroën factory... (Lemon means Citron in Danish).

No, I am not writing blog posts about Alphaville and their giant hit from 1984.
No, Forever Young is the title of a play I saw in the theater yesterday.
The play was about what has happened to the youth in Denmark during the last 80 years. And also about what difference the youth made for Denmark during the same period of time. It was a very interesting play, and a total different way to look at Danish history.
I heard about how the youth was almost not excisting in the 1920s and 30s because they had to work from they were very young. How some tried to make a difference in the Resistance during WWII. How the 50s gave us rock'n'roll. How the 60s raised flower power and legalization of porn. How the 70s' youth grew up in shared houses where mom and dad ran around naked - if they were still married, that is. How the 80s gave us those youngsters we call autonomous, the ones that moved into abandoned houses and fought to be able to stay there. How the 90s gave us the European Championship in football, and what that meant to the Danes in general.
The show even gave me a small peek into the future, but I promised to keep it a secret, so you just gonna have to wait and see for yourself. 
It was brilliant, I just loved it.

I am not watching television very often. Usually there is nothing there that is interesting enough to hold my attention for a longer period of time. I see a movie there once in a while, and it has happened that a documentary has been interesting enough to keep me seated. But it is not often.
I don't know how many channels I have access to, but there are about 40 of them tuned in on my TV, and many of them show series after series after series. I have been watching some of them, but usually just one episode or two, just to find out that it is simply not something I want to waste my time on.
There is one exception though. Will and Grace. Read more...

I went to the theatre yesterday to see a very old classic. This play was first set up in 1971, and was written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. The musical is about the last seven days of Jesus' life, and contains various kinds of rocksongs.
The first song was performed by Judas (that's his Danish name, he might have another name in your language...) and I didn't understand one word of what he sang. He yelled and screamed his words out so I was tempted to go up there and ask him to take it down a little. 
(That would have been something, huh? : "Excuse me? Yes, you up there! Yes, you! Can you please take it down a bit? You sing way too loud! So please?! Thank you so much!")
The next song was Jesus' answer, and that wasn't much better. I began to think that this was a waste of both time and money...
But then something happened. The disciples sang some real good rock songs, and I caught myself tapping my foot and smiling all over. I liked the songs and the performers, and I absolutely loved Maria Magdalena's stunning red boots!
But the best thing of the play was when King Herodes sang and tapdanced barefooted in his pink underwear.
I will give it out of 6.
I would have given it 6 stars, but two things pull it down to only 5: That Judas sang so his words were unintelligible and that Jesus spat out over the first 4 rows when he sang.
