Ein Werwolf-Film als Business-Satire, ein Erotikthriller als Midlife-Crisis-Parabel, und vor allem ein Starvehikel für Jack Nicholson, der hier weniger spielt als sich selbst zelebriert. Ich mag diesen Film, weil er ein Echo aus meinen Neunzigern ist und gerade weil er sich einer klaren Tonlage verweigert. Darin liegt seine sehr eigentümliche Freiheit. (ZDFneo, Wh.)

Voices Celebrating 1 Trillion Web Pages: Jean Armour Polly, Net-Mom
Posted on November 17, 2025 by Chris Freeland
Jean Armour Polly—better known as the Net-mom, and the person who helped popularize the phrase “surfing the internet” in 1994—adds her voice to the celebration of the Internet Archive’s 1 trillionth webpage preserved.
In her message, Polly reflects on the ephemerality of the web—how sites appear, vanish, change, or are censored—and why the Archive’s ability to reveal these shifts is essential to understanding not just events, but who was speaking, who wasn’t, and whose voices history might otherwise forget. Drawing on her own work digitizing fragile Civil War pension files, she compares the care of digital preservation to rescuing stories from dusty barns and bringing them back to life. Polly honors not only creators, but also the librarians and archivists who ensure that our cultural record endures.
“Without [Internet Archive], we risk not only losing the websites themselves, but the story of how society and culture has been shaped by them.”Jean Armour Polly, Net-Mom
Hi, I'm Jean Armour Polly, also known as the Net-mom.
It's because in the early days of the internet, I helped a lot of people take their first baby steps on it. But I'm here today to help congratulate and celebrate the Internet Archive's 1000000000000th webpage archived.
That's just an amazing number. Wow. Because websites are ephemeral. They come up, they go down, links are added, links are deleted. Sometimes they're even censored. The archive reveals all these changes though, and that's important.
It's important for us to not only see how events were covered, but who was talking about them, what they were saying, and sometimes it's even as important or maybe more important about who wasn't talking and whose voices weren't heard.
The archive might even become the Rosetta Stone for future digital archeologists trying to decipher the hieroglyphs of emojis or inscrutable memes.
I have some experience with digitization myself. In recent months, I've been a volunteer at the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society's Digitize New York project. Here where I live. We've been scanning and digitizing a huge cache of Civil War pension documents that had formally been in a lawyer's office, but since 1930, they've been stored in Campbell's soup boxes in a dusty old hay barn.
When I scan something, I think of the soldier and the story that I'm helping to preserve, because it wasn't just about grievous war wounds or diseases he had picked up, but also about his family history, about camp life, about troop movements and battles, things you just can't find in a history book.
And I think about his family, I think about him when I scan these documents, but I also think about who had the forethought to save this stuff, and not just toss it or shred it or burn it, but to keep it in hopes that some day somebody would come along and rescue it, digitize it, so the stories would live.
And that's what the Internet Archive has done and will do. It's so important. Without it, we risk not only losing the websites themselves, but the story of how society and culture has been shaped by them.
So many kudos to the content creators, but also don't forget the critical work of the librarians and the archivists who have preserved them.
Save our stories, protect the past, and help shape our future.
Congratulations.

Kenneth Branagh, Robert De Niro – „Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein“ (1994)
Ich schwöre, fast niemand hat damals verstanden, was Kenneth Branagh da eigentlich wollte. Ich auch nicht. Zu pompös, zu laut, zu viel Theater. Und ja: genau das war die Wahrheit. Das ist ja kein Horrorfilm im klassischen Sinn. Es ist mehr ein Gefühl. Ein Wutausbruch in Fleisch und Blut. Ein Film über Verantwortung, über Hybris, über die Obsession, etwas zu schaffen, das eigentlich keine:r lieben kann. (ZDF, Wh)

Ole Bornedal, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau – „Nightwatch“ (1994)
Ein ganz leiser Horrorfilm. Eigentlich flüstert er nur. Sonst herrscht buchstäblich Totenstille. Und diese hallt tatsächlich bis heute nach – in den kalten, ironischen, oft moralisch zerfransten Welten des sogenannten Nordic Noir. Lange bevor „Kommissarin Lund“ oder „Die Brücke“ exportfähige Serienhits wurden, hat Ole Bornedal schon gezeigt, wie der Norden von seiner Dunkelheit erzählen kann: ohne Pathos, ganz ohne Erlösung… (ZDF, Wh.)

Stephan Elliott – “The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert” (1994)
Staub, Sonne, Outback und ein Bus voller Drag Queens. Australien war vorher vermutlich noch nie so queer. Priscilla ist ein Film, der in High Heels durch den roten Staub tanzt, der glitzert, wo sonst nur Kängurus grasen, und der seine Zärtlichkeit unter Schichten aus Pailletten und Perücken versteckt wie einen Schatz. Ich wollte ihn mögen, weil meine Freunde ihn mochten – und wurde völlig mitgerissen. (ARTE)

Back to the Grindstone: Brutal Truth – Need to Control
By Saunders
Back to the Grindstone is a love letter feature dedicated to the appreciation of all things grindcore. This most extreme of extreme niche genres has been kicking since the late ’80s, growing in underground stature as the years march on. The rule of thumb to this feature is simple; spotlight will be on grind albums old and new, though will not include releases from the past five years, or albums previously covered on this website. Genre classics, underappreciated gems, old school and nu school will be covered, highlighting albums aimed at established fans and curious listeners interested in diving into the cesspool of the grind scene.
Despite being a big name in the history of grindcore, arguably New York’s legendary Brutal Truth is a touch underrated. While the band split in 2014, they left behind an excellent catalog of game-changing grind, highlighted by their first two LPs, 1992’s stone-cold classic, Extreme Conditions Demand Extreme Responses, and the subject of this feature piece, their experimental, wildly innovative sophomore album, 1994’s Need to Control. Already boasting an early grind classic under their belts courtesy of the nasty, precision slice of death powered grind of the debut, Brutal Truth turned the genre on its head with Need to Control. Originally, I planned to write this piece as a double whammy, Yer Metal is Olde/Grindstone feature in 2024. Unfortunately, after chasing my tail again, it didn’t eventuate. Nevertheless, seems the time is right to dust off Back to the Grindstone to applaud and unpack the grind masterwork well ahead of its time.
Need to Control both encompasses and rejects grindcore conventions. Daringly expanding on the genre’s early groundwork, while spitting jagged shards of noise, industrial, death, and punk into a brutally violent, nuanced, and thoroughly demented mutation of grind’s core values. The line-up of Kevin Sharp (vocals), Rich Hoak (drums), Brent McCarty (guitars), and legendary bass slinger Dan Lilker (ex-Anthrax, Nuclear Assault, S.O.D., Venomous Concept) captured a lightning in a bottle moment. Kicking off a bold sophomore effort with a decidedly non-grind song was a ballsy move that paid off. “Collapse” illustrates Brutal Truth’s bold adventurism outside grind parameters, its clanking industrial death stomp, dual powered vox, and ominous mid-paced grooves striking with an iron fist. Deviations from the out-and-out gold-plated grind blasters (“Black Door Mine,” “I See Red,” “Bite the Hand,” ‘Brain Trust,” etc) dominating the album fail to compromise cohesive flow or blunt the band’s visceral attacks. The atmosphere is intense, the energy electric, while the varied pacing and experimental flourishes serve to add increased potency and creativity to the finished package.
Featuring brighter melodies, hooky riffs, and groovier accessibility, the didgeridoo-adorned “Godplayer” is the closest thing to a metal hit the Brutal Truth boys ever approached. And it works a treat, still packing a heavy wallop atop a typically unhinged vocal performance from Sharp. It’s another fine example of the album’s ahead of its time class, nestled amongst the album’s overarching grindy chaos, which also includes an overdrawn noise experiment (“Ironlung”), fun punk cover (The Germs “Media Blitz”), and crust punk-grind crossovers (“Choice of the New Generation”). The album is a non-stop blast, deftly balancing raw throat-grabbing grind attacks with innovative turns and burly industrial death stomps. Streaked with dark melodic flourishes and an innovative, technical and unhinged flair, Need to Control exhilarates in weird and wild ways.
Need to Control holds up remarkably well, remaining a cutting-edge example of the genre some thirty-plus years later. Brutal Truth continued to carve a unique pathway in the grind field during the subsequent years of their career. However, the blunt force thrust of energy and precision death-influenced grind of their debut and infectious genre-scrambling innovation of Need to Control remain the band’s greatest achievements.
