  1. I'm hooked on Perry Rhodan at the moment, but also started this:
  2. By the way, it's the same with Veljkovic - changed his agent and also wants to leave.
  3. No idea, Maxi hasnt really lived up to expectations, but he's still a good player who would bring solid performances in a stronger team, so he will definitely be able to find a decent club, either in Bundesliga or abroad. As for Jojo, a year in 2. Liga would definitely be good for him, but considering that his contract is expiring in 2022, we'll have to sell him this summer (unless he signs a new contract)...
  4. Yeah, he sacked his agent who was working with him for 8 years I think, and moved to one of the biggest agencies in Germany, in order to get more international exposure. His brother still remains with the old agent, but I expect both Eggesteins to leave.
  5. Erras is close to joining Kiel. Moisander has joined Malmö. We're still working on signing Aursnes and Park.
  6. If you don't care about the legality of it, then a paid IPTV service subscription + VPN is definitely the best solution.
  7. The deal is as good as done, and Mai travels with the team to the training camp in Zillertal! Full squad: Pavlenka, Kapino, Zetterer, Dos Santos Haesler - Jung, Möhwald, Osako, Bittencourt, Füllkrug, Veljkovic, Agu, Sargent, Schmid, Toprak, Schmidt, Rapp, J. Eggestein, Straudi, Park, Gruev, Nankishi, Badjie, Mbom, M. Eggestein, Groß, Woltemade, Dinkci, Mai. Erras not in the squad, is in talks with another club.
  8. Will be very eager to hear what comes out of it...
  9. Any particular series? I don't know about comics, but Astounding Stories of SuperScience and Amazing Stories were quality magazines of sci-fi stories.
  10. Won 7:0 against Lohne in the first pre-season match; Bittencourt, Füllkrug, Dinkci, Niklas Schmidt (2x), Philipp, Eggestein on the scoresheet. What's interesting is the formation - we're playing a 4-1-4-1, with both fullbacks playing very narrow, often moving to the center of the pitch and getting involved in the build-up, the defensive midfielder falling back into defence, the two central midfielder playing a very high line, almost like attacking midfielders, then the two winger playing very wide, and finally a striker upfront. Looked very good, even if it's against a weak opponent. Kyu-Hun Park made a very good impression; hope we will finalise his transfer in the next few days. Strong, robust, good technique and vision. Will be interesting to see how he does in friendlies against stronger clubs, but looks very promising so far. As for other youth players, I thought Nankishi, Woltemade, Dinkci, Niklas Schmidt and Philipp looked pretty good, too. Also, I hope Bittencourt will not be allowed to take another corner or free kick.
  11. Just seen it on Twitter, too. WTF Good to see he's having fun though
  12. Yeah, Terence Malick's style is definitely not for everyone, so I can understand that! I personally love it, but if you're looking for action and a rather fast-paced, straightforward story, then Malick's movies are definitely not the best choice Don't think you can even compare it to the war movies like The Longest Day or Battle of the Bulge though, as those two are pretty much detailed accounts of a specific historical battle, whereas The Thin Red Line is more of an introspective and pensive look into broader philosophical themes and ideas, particularly the nature of war, human condition, life and death, creation and destruction, harmony and chaos. I haven't seen a more poetic movie...
  13. That's because it's not a remake - both the 1964 and 1998 movies are loose adaptations of James Jones' s novel! It's an anti-war movie, first and foremost.
  14. First pre-season friendly against TuS Blau-Weiß Lohne tomorrow will be broadcast live on the club's official youtube channel. Kick off at 15:30 CET Two friendlies against Feyenoord have been added to the pre-season, that's how it looks now: So, 27.06.21, 15.30 Uhr, Testspiel: BW Lohne - SV Werder, Heinz-Dettmer-Stadion (Lohne) Mi, 30.06.21, 18.30 Uhr, Testspiel: VfB Oldenburg - SV Werder, Marschwegstadion (Oldenburg) Do, 01. bis Do, 08.07.21, Trainingslager im Zillertal, Zell am Ziller (Österreich) So, 04.07.21, 16 Uhr, Testspiel: SV Werder - ZSKA Sofia, Parkstadion (Österreich) Mi, 07.07.21, 18 Uhr, Testspiel: SV Werder - Zenit St. Petersburg, Parkstadion (Österreich) Sa, 17.07.2021, 12 Uhr und 16 Uhr, Testspiele: Feyenoord Rotterdam - SV Werder Bremen, Feyenoord-Akademie & Stadion Feijenoord "De Kuip" (Rotterdam)
  15. The target audience is pretty wide, to be honest. Mostly teens, young adults and adults, I'd say, or pretty much anyone with interest in space, physics, technology, large-scale politics, etc. It's trivial literature, but it has enough complexity and while early teens could read it, I think a lot of stuff would fly well over their heads. Interestingly, the average reader of Perry Rhodan is over 45 years old, according to a survey a few years ago - I think the main reason for it are those readers who got into it in their youth, and continued reading for decades. As for this format of literature in general, there's something for pretty much any age group. Detectives, spies, agents, western stories of cowboys and Indians, scifi and space opera, adventure, ghost stories, horror, love stories, romance, erotica, Heimat novels, and so on. It surely isn't intellectual or high quality literature, but it can be great entertainment. I personally used to read them mostly when travelling, as the format is very suitable for that, and it helps to pass the time in flight or on train while not having to think too much, so also a good option if you're tired or sleepy
  16. I love retro cover art. It's crazy to see how it changed throughout the years. The original cover of the very first issue (1961): The cover of one of the newest issues (2021):
  17. That's probably because there was a movie released a few years ago, and it was absolutely horrific Don't watch it
  18. I bought them regularly in the late 90s - early 2000s. Bastei Verlag still sells 22 million copies each year... Moewig Verlag still publishes Perry Rhodan every week. I picked up a new issue of Maddrax in the magazine kiosk at Frankfurt Airport just three months ago But yeah, I think it's a bit of a niche these days...
  19. I have 400+ issues of Lassiter And a bunch of Mister Dynamit.
