There is something rotten in the Netherlands. In parliament, in government and -in my not so humble opinion even more worrying- in the judicial system. The Dutch version of the text the video refers to can be found here.(It is yet to be translated).

Expressionism? I do want to cry out..
Colourizing old movies: I saw great examples of it before and today I discovered that a fellow Dutchman called Rick is doing a really great job in this field.

Rudi Dutschke’s mind blowing success
