      - Ah yes, Chronicle, the found footage for no reason movie where assholes gain superpowers to become super assholes! -- nm - Qale Feb 19, 21:23 3
        
        I thought it was clever for a relatively low budget sci-fi ish flick. It showed promise at least. -- nm - Guy Feb 19, 22:21
        
        Jordon was in that as well. I really liked the ending. -- nm - Remlik Feb 19, 21:27 1

- well she and Vladimir Putin have the same education so she is very secretive - DaneDukeNuuk Feb 19, 23:14
- she represented East Germany for half her life so she might not be (chemically speaking) a woman anymore -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 19, 21:33
- "Witt posed nude for Playboy magazine at age 33, and the pictures were published in the December 1998 issue, which was the second ever sold-out issue" -- nm - wikipedia Feb 19, 20:52 2
