Baader Meinhof Complex, The (2008)

IMDB rating: 7.40

Plot: Germany in the 1970s: Murderous bomb attacks, the threat of terrorism and the fear of the enemy inside are rocking the very foundations of the yet fragile German democracy. The radicalised children of the Nazi generation lead by Andreas Baader, Ulrike Meinhof and Gudrun Ensslin are fighting a violent war against what they perceive as the new face of fascism: American imperialism supported by the German establishment, many of whom have a Nazi past. Their aim is to create a more human society but by employing inhuman means they not only spread terror and bloodshed, they also lose their own humanity. The man who understands them is also their hunter: the head of the German police force Horst Herold. And while he succeeds in his relentless pursuit of the young terrorists, he knows he’s only dealing with the tip of the iceberg.

who’s best?


Although this is a hard one, I actually think they picked right on this one. That rape scene with Jodie Foster..I liked that her character wasn’t necessarily super-likeable. She had issues for sure, but you wanted her to get justice.

meryl streep!

Once again, Meryl Streep. With Sigourney Weaver a close second, maybe tied with Glenn Close.

Spiders in the car! How do you keep them out (like 4ever)?
Really cannot handle spiders getting inside the car. Is there any safe deterrant I can use to keep them out. Should I spray the inside of the car with surface spray too – I usually use this around doors to keep them out of the house. We have some very LARGE huntsman spiders around here and no hungry geckos live here either. The redbacks are usually placid spiders and they keep to the woodpiles not inside homes or cars. I even have earwigs inside the (cemented) letterbox! I use surface spray in there or they tend to munch on the letters – I hate earwigs with a vengeance.

Don’t usually mind spiders and snakes BUT I don’t want them in my space!

Always place my gardening gloves in a zip up bag or tin to keep them free from bugs.


Don’t park near trees. I find that I have had more occurrences of spiders entering my vehicle when I am parking near trees.

COCHI LOCO | Feb 09, 2010


i HATE when spiders catch a ride in my car! i have not been able to find any way to keep them out because they can find so many ways to get in. i hope someone has an idea that can help us both!
candyface | Feb 09, 2010


Can’t say that I’ve ever had a spider in the car. I would really hate that!! And snakes – even worse!
I have had flies though, which are infuriating as they buzz around and can distract one from driving. I stop if possible and get them out.
Driving in the UKs cooler climate, windows are kept (mostly) shut for quite a few months, so less opportunity for insects to enter the car. many are holed up in some cavity to keep out of the cold. Today is about 4C with snow flurries, especially in SE England. Brrr!!

Barbie as Rapunzel
Barbie as Rapunzel (2002)

IMDB rating: 5.10

Plot: In this contemporary twist on the classic fairy tale, Barbie (voiced by Kelly Sheridan) uses the power of her own creative energies to paint her way out of the confines of a castle keep and save her prince from the nefarious clutches of Gothel, the evil witch (Anjelica Huston). It’s a charming animated tale that finds Barbie far from the sandbox and in a fantasy land with rabbits and dragons for friends and a chance at romance.

Which Barbie movie do you like the best.?
From:
The Nutcracker
Rapunzel
Swan Lake
Princess and the Pauper
Magic of Pegasus
12 Dancing Princesses
Island Princess

PLZ no fairytopia series.
Or myScene
Or the guitar/teen barbie one that made barbie look like a bratz with big head and made her look like she was suffering from anorexia.


Gosh, these movies bring back such memories.

Anyway.

My favourites are Rapunzel, Princess and the Pauper, and Swan Lake. For some reason I can’t really remember Swan Lake, but I know I’ve watched it.

DBOENRANLALLY | Nov 28, 2008


Hahaha. You’re old enough to diagnose a Barbie with anorexia, yet you’re questioning which the best Barbie movie is..
Strange.

I’ve only ever seen.. The Nutcracker, I believe. Watched it when I was babysitting. It was pretty cute. There was another one with.. a cute little animal.. that said "Sparkle" a lot. Might have been the same one, but I can’t quite recall.

Need help with a movie, maybe british or german?
I saw this movie about 16 or 17 years ago,about some kind of monster that roamed free, supposedly it was a military project, it goes unleashed in a rural town,kills some kids in a very small car, that seems British or German,i thought it was called syngenor,but checked imdb.com and saw i was mistaking the name, anyway the monster looked something like the creature from black lagoon
the monster was about human size


Could it be Godzilla?
