Ex Drummer

Contrary to my Blog Philosophy, a mostly dutch post.. Its about a Belgian movie by a weird writer that turned out quite controversial.. Check youtube if you want in ;) Small thing I just realized - totally on the side.. is that blogging in English, while maybe a weird choice, has aided my English skills in unfathomable ways. Maybe I should blog in French for some years, to get an at least decent level in French too!

Anywho,
Check out Ex Drummer! Apparently there s people who love it & people who hate it!

Het mooie kotsende publiek
"'Plat, gratuit en weerzinwekkend' of 'gedurfd, rauw en grensverleggend'? 'Ex Drummer', de controversiële film-naar-het-Brusselmansboek verdeelt het Vlaamse filmjournaille in twee kampen. Sta ons toe dat wij ons, nog licht nakokhalzend, aansluiten bij de eerste groep. Maar uiteraard bieden we regisseur Koen Mortier graag de kans om zich te verantwoorden voor het spoor van bloed, kwijl en sperma dat hij door de Vlaamse bioscopen trekt." - Focus Knack

Herman (Brusselmans, the writer) Himself was happy with it all, when asked about it in an article about the movie..

"Het is geen vrolijke of leuke film geworden, verre van. Maar net om die reden ben ik er wreed content over." - Focus Knack

The movie has an interesting Youtube page.. exdrummerbe
With a Trailer (the text are quotes from the Flemish commission for movie grants.. They werent all that positive..) and some 5 excerpts. Its all Incredibly amusing :) I had a hard time not to laugh! (which I cant since Mini is sleeping & I dont want to wake her.. Sleep is sacred :) & she s sooo cute)

Ex Drummer also has a visually very attractive (yet incredibly weird) homepage .. http://www.exdrummer.com/ with an interesting Press section!
And for those who care also a Myspace page (I could not care less - By god how I loathe that whole myspace thing.. Tough I guess.. its a nice thing. Maybe Ive grown too old for that kinda crap! although I simply LOVE youtube!)

Ex drummer has been invited to the Rotterdam & Göteborg film festival..
