| Oh my gosh OMG!! I just saw Headhunters and this was an fantastic, madcap adventure of suspense and intrigue with a very healthy dose of black comedy. I really enjoyed this film. Have fun with this one and thank you NORWAY!! |

Oh yes! The Headhunters was a great movie. It made big success in Norway as well.
The director Morten Tyldum got a name in Hollywood after the Headhunters, and his Hollywood-debut is coming up in a few weeks; called ĞThe Imitation Gameğ. Its about how the scientist Alan Turing broke the German codemachine Enigma during WW2. The expectations for the movie are huge, and reviews coming out says that Tyldum could get an Oscar for this one... Release in the USA is November 21st.

| The scene with the two 'large' policemen from Elverum......is this kind of an inside joke about the people from Elverum? I kind of got the impression that this was a mockery of people from there? |

Hehe... the casting-crew for the movie were looking for the guys to be used as human airbags for a long time... 
They had 3 requirements for the men:
* Identical Twins
* Between 100-130 kg (220-290 lbs)
* Big heads
I don't think it's directly pointing to Elverum, but maybe rural area of Norway in general...

Soon summer in parts of Norway.
While waiting, listen to Kirsten Flagstad singing "Vċren" Springtime by Edvard Grieg link
It goes straight into your soul, you can "hear" Norway in the way the music is composed.

Info and images from the surveillance of the area "Ċkerneset" in Storfjorden that might create a large rockslide.
The question is not whether the slide will come but when.
A trailer from the movie "Bĝlgen" The Wave, premiere August 28. 2015,based on this info link

| Dear Friends..it has been some time since I have been in here and so I hope at least it is not too late to wish you all a Happy New Year. We have been watching a new NOrwegian TV Series... It is calle "Occupied" in English and I have to say it is very well. Good acting and character development. The movie really makes you think about things differently. I am curious as to what kind of reception this tv series has in Norway. Personally I think it is brilliant. |

Occupied is the biggest TV production in Norway ever, and is based on an idea of one of the biggest Norwegian authors today; Jo Nesbo. Normally, Norwegian TV-production doesn't make fame abroad, but this production has been sold to a number of European countries.
The biggest reaction to the series came possibly from the Russian Ambassador to Norway, who said this about the TV-series:
"It is certainly a shame that this year, the 70th anniversary of victory in World War II, the authors have apparently forgotten the Soviet Army heroic struggle of the liberation of Northern Norway by Nazi occupiers and have decided, in the worst Cold War tradition, for scaring Norwegian spectators with a non-existent threat from the east." |

interesting..I actually view the series from my perspective...as America occupying other countries under the guise of being "invited" for example...and how the population of the occupied countries come to grips with the realization of what is happening.
However the idea the series presents is not too far fetched in my mind. I like it. it is entertaining and very good acting....really very good.

Not a film, but worth mentioning.
On this day in North Dakota 1897, 72 year old Sondre Norheim, the father of modern skiing, died.
He em 1884 with his wife Rannei and 3 children, 3 more children were born in USA.
The climate and the flat land i Dakota was not ideal for skiing, but it*s said that always a pair of skis stood outside the wall at Norheims home in McHenry County.
The Olympic flame has bin lit four times in his home place Ĝverbĝ, a cottagers place in Morgedal in Telemark.
- Oslo 1950
- Squaw Valley 1960
- Lillehammer 1994
- Lillehammer, Youth Olympic Games, 2016.
