Femman (swedish SBS owned television channel) has really been pushing their new show Förnimmelser av mord and even tried to do some subliminal marketing during commercial breaks showing a half second bumper for the show between commercials. I wish Killinggängets would do a parody Förnimmelser av tittarsiffror where a phycic goes near a pile of old Kär och galen episodes and start crying “I can’t take it anymore … it hurt to much”.
The show Astronauterna is actually quite good. Finaly a show with no place for sissies or whiners!
And the most clever sitcom produced in this century is with no arguments british Coupling created by Steve Moffet. The second season is currently being aired in sweden.

During september and october last year I worked together with one of my best friends and best boy (no pun intended) on a horror flick called Camp Slaughter gaffing for Director/DP Martin Munthe. The movie is still in post-production but the production company Operafilm has posted the first teaser trailer on the production homepage and a shop has been set up where you can pre-order a special edition DVD box. Some stills from the production has been posted in The Filmset gallery.
A little bird has been whispering in my ear that lead actress Annika Marklund had to undergo some kind of throat surgery before finishing looping all her lines. We are all hoping that she will recover quickly. The same bird told me that Operafilm’s next production Code: Typhoon is already in production and is extensively computer generated with actors and actresses agains bluescreen.
