- mastax 9y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanadu_(Citizen_Kane) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanadu_(Citizen_Kane) Huge, foolish, excess. Once completed, unable to give it's creator happiness. Not a perfect metaphor, but it gets you thinking. OT, but Kane is definitely worth watching. Probably enjoy it more if you don't go in to it expecting "the greatest film ever".

- csours 9y agoThere was a Master Pancake Screening of Xanadu in Austin last week. Could be related, could be Baader-Meinhof. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/master-pancake-theater-community-cinema-present-xanadu-tickets-37346646826# https://www.eventbrite.com/e/master-pancake-theater-communit... - click details if the info panel isn't open.
- wolfgke 9y ago> Could be related, could be Baader-Meinhof. You are aware that Andreas Baader and Ulrike Meinhof were (among others) the founders of the terrorist group RAF (Rote Armee Fraktion - Red Army Faction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Army_Faction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Army_Faction), which according to https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rote_Armee_Fraktion&oldid=169061640 https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rote_Armee_Frakti... (German article) murdered 33 people and did lots of other crimes? And (same German Wikipedia article) "Baader-Meinhof-Bande" ("Baader-Meinhof gang") or "Baader-Meinhof-Gruppe" ( "Baader-Meinhof group") was its former unofficial name? You are also aware that the RAF was the reason for the "German Autumn" (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=German_Autumn&oldid=796194479 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=German_Autumn&old...), in which there was a giant witch hunt against potential RAF sympathizers and lots of constitutional rights were abolished, which makes the German Autumn a large turning point in history for anybody who is interested about the history of privacy rights an Germany or is even a privacy advocate?
