Emir kusturica was my nr 1 director since forever until I found it he works for Putin now.

Black Cat White Cat and Underground were my favorite movies.

I never really had heroes. I did see some people are more trustworthy or credible but never another I ever gave hero status to. The entire idea seemed strange to me.

I will say I was right about Elon Musk. There was just something about him I couldn’t put my finger on that screamed monster and nobody believed me. I just had a weird ick feeling about him.

Growing up in West Germany during the 1980s and `90s, most of my childhood heroes (Astrid Lingdren, Peter Lustig, Armin Maiwald & Christoph Biemann) have stood the test of time. Peter Lustig, in parts comparable to Mr. Rogers to anyone from the US, fell victim to a public smear campaign by german Springer media corporation after he spoke oout against them. They took some statements he made in an interview totally out of context and tried to mark him as if he hated children.
