Even added a ‘t’ to his name I like that much
Ping
29,000 BC was only a trillion seconds ago.
My good deed for the day, then. And to enjoying Herzog’s work; wish I could remember where I read that the artist’s highest hurdle is “delight”. Artists might confront, or shock, or explore, or inform, but the real artists attempt to share, and delight.
“z” in german is pronounced “ts”, as in “rats”.
OBTW, “Herzog” means “warlord”. It is an actual german office - in war, the Herzog rules.
Pretty close! 29699 BC was a trillion seconds ago.
We’ve come on a lot in the last trillion seconds - no doubt about it. But alas, much of our art does not delight. Government funding will do that.
awesome, did not know that.
Once upon a time I was able hold a decent conversation in what I believe was considered hoch Deutsch. Half my family is German/English
Yeah, once upon a time I could converse in German, too.
Language - use it or lose it.
bump for later
Ancient Encounters is a pretty good book.

Thanks for the ping, SC. Wife and I saw the previews for this movie about 3 weeks ago at a theater in Bethesda, MD and it looked fascinating. We will certainly see it...
If I had a dollar for every one of those seconds, I could pay off 1/14 of the national debt.
One fourteenth hardly seems worth it. I'll just keep the trillion dollars.
This is one movie that I truly want to see in 3-D. I heard an interview with Herzog about this - what a challenge to film.
Sounds like a film you would enjoy!
You are right. I have to see this film.
