Yesterday I finally went to the movies to see "Drive" instructed and directed by Danish Nicolas Winding Refn. A super action and emotional movie which is accompanied with great music.

Watch the trailer below, go watch the movie and listen to the opening scene/soundtrack by The Chromatics - Tick Of The Clock - recommendable!

I have been watching the American TV series Mad Men about Sterling Cooper advertising agency on Madison Avenue in New York City for the last couple of years. The main character as you all may know is the great advertising and don juan, Don Draper. His ability as a problem solver (women, advertising etc) is unique and if you ever get a problem you can't solve? Well you have been saved by Don Draper.

Check out the below "Don Draper a drink fixes the problem model". Funny and effective. And a bit unhealthy.

Dear Copenhagen is a new internet based project, where you can share large and small thoughts about Copenhagen - the word is free for everyone. There is no room for long posts - but short messages in maximum 250 letters. Nice and funny project.

Heart is the new name for the redesigned Museum of contemporary art in Herning, Denmark. The museum, which opens today, was designed by American architect Steven Holl. The name of the museum and the corporate identity is designed by the Danish branding and design consultancy firm: Kontrapunkt A/S. I think it is brilliant.

The danish newspaper Berlingske has wrote an article about the new museum today. They are very happy about the result and they request everyone to visit the museum. Check out the article written in danish here or read on for an english version (Taken from berlingske.dk and translated with Google translate). Chech out the pictures of the new museum below or visit their website here.


TWIN PEAKS

A fundamental "mistake" in my childhood is the lack of being introduced to the absolutely amazing tv series Twin Peaks instructed and directed by David Lynch. Anyway I had the pleasure of receiving a gold ediition dvd from my girlfriend with the entire series of Twin peaks. This autumn I therefore spent at least one evening a week in company with Twin Peaks. 29 episodes. And what a great experience.

The whole setup is just fantastic and I do recommend that if you have not seen Twin Peaks. Well..off you go...it is great. Check out these videos below. The first is the intro for Twin Peaks. Very cool.
