Finally a refreshing version of Rihanna and her Umbrella song: nothing beats a Russian accordion player in a bear costume singing 'Umbrella' and adding bad special effects and prostitutes to it!

Here they are, Japan's 1980's response to the Spice Girls, even though those didn't even exist at that time...
My favorite is that saxophone palying girl with the moustache... (watch the hormones!)

One of my US-emigrated relatives, my great-great grand uncle Pierre Haag, adventurer in his spirit during the heydays of the roaring twenties worked there as a cook. He traveled along the US and worked in numerous cities and on transatlantic steamers.
The Postcard here was sent back to his Luxembourg relatives.
It reads:
"Best regards from Detroit
Pierre
Book Cadillac Hotel
Just take a look at this building, maybe you find one alike in the Grosstrasse in Luxembourg.Pierre
Book Cadillac Hotel
This is only a small one (hotel). I worked in one in New York. The kitchen was in the 39th floor and the building had 40 stories. Now they decide to make one in Detroit from 85 (stories). And in New York they make one from 100 stories much higher than the Eiffel Tower."

W. is a biographical film in production based on the life and presidency of wacky George W. Bush. The film is written, produced, and directed by Oliver Stone, and stars Josh Brolin as George W. Bush. Stone has compared his goal for W. to the approaches of The Queen (2006) and his own Nixon (1995). The release date is set for October 17, 2008.According to the director, "It's a behind-the-scenes approach, similar to Nixon (1995), to give a sense of what it's like to be in his skin. But if Nixon was a symphony, this is more like a chamber piece, and not as dark in tone."
"I want a fair, true portrait of the man. How did Bush go from an alcoholic bum to the most powerful figure in the world? It's like Frank Capra territory on one hand, but I'll also cover the demons in his private life, his bouts with his dad and his conversion to Christianity, which explains a lot of where he is coming from. It includes his belief that God personally chose him to be president of the United States, and his coming into his own with the stunning, preemptive attack on Iraq. It will contain surprises for Bush supporters and his detractors."

The film will be released before the presidential election. The film's producers are reportedly planning to run TV spots for the film opposite John McCain's ads this fall.
Now all we can do is wait and see if this movie might play an important role for undecided voters in the upcoming election...
