Thank you for posting this. The pictures were just what I needed for my presentation on the history of Amsterdam for some completely ignorant youngsters from abroad

I changed the post to include the location: the building can be found in Lootsstraat in the Oud West neighbourhood. Of Amsterdam, that is.

ROFL! I heard the story before, but I read it with absolute pleasure! You should seriously consider writing, honestly. I am not supposed to laugh cause it's darn painful, but I nearly pissed myself at least 3 times during reading this. Simply brilliant! Greetings from Berlin to both, you and the brave, brave man who had the guts it takes to photograph Rutger Hauer.

1. Really? Which one?
2. Is it ok if I flash ya all with NSFW first? Other suggestions? I appologize for any inconvinience!

Two remarks:
1. That one girl tried to seduce Jeff in 'Coupling'.
2. Naked bottoms cannot be watched in an open office environment. Google "NSFW".

Oh, I knew YOU would love this...

Instant classic.

HELL YEEEAH!! To mi deli! This is what I was talkin bout, something to write home about! It's breathtaking indeed. "And thank you," as our beloved PJ would sing. :)

We, the people, have enough of this Hights already, and demand from the admin to feed us something new & excitin'! It's your own gorgeous fault, you spoiled us this nicely so far. ;)

2011-02-14T22:31:02.143+01:00

It heppa, it heppa! And not only that, Radiohead announced their new album today, aussi! A very good day, indeed. Oh yes, and this, perhaps: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/audio/2011/feb/11/pj-harvey-let-england-shake. I found it rather enlightening. Let it shake!!

2011-02-11T12:32:55.260+01:00

I wonder myself if this film wasn't made to be watched on the web... I'm not sure if there was a nuclear war, but one things is clear: the society seems completely immersed in issues of health, so the paranoia is not limited to Rillkrr. Note also the C2O used in the address, and the board game (with winnings such as 'free surgery')...
All these facts are just a background story, the mood... The main story reminds me more of Artificial Inteligence... You know very little about the creature, but he seems to be more a boy than a toy. He also seems to be as intelligent as humans (and at times more intelligent than Rillkrr: winning 3:0 from him in one game, while Rillkrr is getting increasingly annoyed and bored).
The website marks what Rillkrr has already bought ('sold' - not the same as 'sold out'), which indicates that Rillkrr is far from the only recluse buying friends and then disposing them. Of course, there is also the significant name of the webpage, not to mention to logo...
On the lighter note, have you noticed what is written on the webpage about the growing time?
Growing time: fart

2011-02-11T11:51:23.899+01:00

I watched it again, it's still a bit unclear if Rillkrr is just a paranoid recluse, or if something like a nuclear war really did happen. He has a "Radiation Absorber" (0:04) and subscribes to "New Affliction Quarterly".
I love how you point out all the little details, and it also shows why animation is best enjoyed on the Web rather than in a theater or on TV: you can stop the movie at leisure to take in all the details.

I love it! It's so weird yet so cute. The voices are my favorite.
