World premiere of Die Hard 4.0, here I come
Jun 26th
In approx. one hour and 20 minutes I’ll be watching the newest Die Hard movie. The local cinema is arranging a midnight premiere and, it could actually be the first premiere world-wide! 20th Century Fox has allowed our local cinema to air the movie 12-18 hours before it premiere in the states! Apparently there’ll be a security guard, from 20th Century Fox, who will confiscate all recording devices, including cell phones, and monitor the cinema with frickin’ night goggles during the movie.
On a side note; the official title of the movie is ‘Live Free or Die Hard’ in most countries, but in Japan, Finland, UK and Denmark it’s ‘Die Hard 4.0′. Kinda stupid.
Live Free or Die Hard interview
Jun 22nd
I usually don't care much about movie-related interviews, way too often it's just a bunch of actors complementing one and other, even though we know it's probably fake. Though, when I hear about an interview about Die Hard with Bruce Willis and Kevin Smith I have to watch it. It's not that long, you see some cool scenes from the movie and they talk a bit about Willis posting on AintItCoolNews.com, and then proving his identity to the other users by inviting one of them to a video chat, I've seen the screenshots from it, but I wasn't sure it was actually him before seeing this.

Under a week before it premieres now!
European Film College
Jun 19th
I'm very happy to say that I've been accepted into the eight-month foundation course at the European Film College in Ebeltoft, starting September this year. "Learn about all aspects of the film world" pretty much sums up what the course is about, it costs approx. 70,000 DKK, but the money is well spend, just take a look at what you'll get out of it:
The school has access to 300 m2 film and television studio equipped for building sets and shooting fiction.
The picture editing facilities rival the editing facilities of many professional post-production houses and TV stations.
The EFC has two cinemas. The main one, Store Bjørn ("Big Bear", named after Nordisk Film's logo) is recognized as one of the finest cinemas in Denmark.
The college has an extensive collection of DVDs, videos, and books as well as an archive of short and documentary films on 16mm.
Weekly lectures are held by prominent industry people like Alan Parker (director of Evita, Mississippi Burning, The Life of David Gale, etc.) and Rick Senat, former Vice President of Warner Brothers studios.
EFC plans an annual trip to a Film festival.
The school prides itself on excellent food, made by professional chefs and experts in nutrition. Everything is made from fresh ingredients and they bake all their own bread. Students will be served three meals a day plus healthy snacks in the afternoon.
I'm so happy! ;D
Testing blogging with Word 2007
Jun 18th
If this works like it’s supposed to, I’ll probably start blogging with Word 2007, instead of the standard WYSIWYG Editor in WordPress, because the interface is sweet! It’s especially got one cool feature; if you press the Windows button and “S” you can take a clipping of whatever is on the screen and paste it directly into the entry. It even uploads the picture to my homepage automatically.
Ring of Death – Day 28
Jun 14th
I called customer support today, and guess what, my console is still at the repair center in Germany. The swedish supporter couldn't tell me when I can expect to receive it, she did promise me compensation for the bad service though. I'm supposed to call them again when I receive it, and the size of the compensation will depend on how long I've been waiting. One free year of Xbox Live Gold? Well, thank you very much Microsoft, looks like you don't suck so much after all.
