Das Thema Spielerfrauen ist nach dem Wechsel von Mats Hummels von Borussia Dortmund zu Bayern München wieder in aller Munde. Entscheidet wirklich der Spieler, wo er spielen möchte oder sucht sich seine Traumfrau ihre Traumstadt aus? Und was machen die Vorurteile mit einem, wenn sie zum Schluss komplett auf den Kopf gestellt werden. Diese und andere Satiren sind aus der Sicht von Journalisten geschrieben, die bei verschiedenen Lokal-Zeitungen arbeiten. Sie berichten über Pyro-Shows der Ultras, Pausen auf Schulhöfen und anderswo, über die lyrische Sprache in deutschen Schlagern und Kulturbanausen, die unfreiwillig ins Theater geschleppt werden.

Feierabend. Bei Uber einen selbstfahrenden Tesla bestellt, der mich fünf Minuten später am Büro abholt und nach Hause bringt. Danach verschwindet das Elektroauto lautlos in der Nacht. Klingt nach Zukunft. Ist es auch. Aber sehr nahe Zukunft. Was bedeutet die Kombination aus autonomem Fahren, Elektromobilität und Sharing Economy für Taxifahrer, Lkw-Fahrer, Arbeiter bei VW und BMW oder Betreiber von Parkhäusern?

This is Metropolis, the novel that the film's screenwriter -- Thea von Harbou, who was director Fritz Lang's wife, and a collaborator in the creation of the film -- this is the novel that Harbou wrote from her own notes. It contains bits of the story that got lost on the cutting-room floor; in a very real way it is the only way to understand the film.

At the age of six Randall Byrne could name and bound every state in the Union and give the date of its admission; at nine he was conversant with Homeric Greek and Caesar; at twelve he read Aristophanes with perfect understanding of the allusions of the day and divided his leisure between Ovid and Horace; at fifteen, wearied by the simplicity of Old English and Thirteenth Century Italian, he dipped into the history of Philosophy and passed from that, naturally, into calculus and the higher mathematics; at eighteen he took an A. B. from Harvard and while idling away a pleasant summer with Hebrew and Sanscrit he delved lightly into biology and its kindred sciences, having reached the conclusion that Truth is greater than Goodness or Beauty, because it comprises both, and the whole is greater than any of its parts; at twenty-one he pocketed his Ph. D. and was touched with the fever of his first practical enthusiasm - surgery. At twenty-four he was an M. D. and a distinguished diagnostician, though he preferred work in his laboratory in his endeavor to resolve the elements into simpler forms; also he published at this time a work on anthropology whose circulation was limited to two hundred copies, and he received in return two hundred letters of congratulation from great men who had tried to read his book; at twenty-seven he collapsed one fine spring day on the floor of his laboratory. That afternoon he was carried into the presence of a great physician who was also a very vulgar man. The great physician felt his pulse and looked into his dim eyes...

Iceland is a little country far north in the cold sea. Men found it and went there to live more than a thousand years ago. During the warm season they used to fish and make fish-oil and hunt sea-birds and gather feathers and tend their sheep and make hay. But the winters were long and dark and cold. Men and women and children stayed in the house and carded and spun and wove and knit. A whole family sat for hours around the fire in the middle of the room. That fire gave the only light. Shadows flitted in the dark corners. Smoke curled along the high beams in the ceiling. The children sat on the dirt floor close by the fire. The grown people were on a long narrow bench that they had pulled up to the light and warmth. Everybody's hands were busy with wool. The work left their minds free to think and their lips to talk. What was there to talk about? The summer's fishing, the killing of a fox, a voyage to Norway. But the people grew tired of this little gossip...

That morning began like all the preceding mornings of the past two years with the tinny jangling of the little alarm clock on Robin Carew's bureau. Opening his black eyes, he struggled into a sitting position on the narrow bed, reached out his hand and turned off the alarm. He yawned, swung his feet to the floor, rubbed his eyes. It was half past seven again of another workday morning.
