Now this is a desolate city.

that smells like some of that fake viral marketing bullshittery to me.
I have seen it first hand. It is real. To look through a boarded fence and see the overgrown streets is quite haunting. There is serious risk of being shot if you try to enter the city.
Check out the conflict between the Greek and Turk Cypriots and tell them its fake.

Peace is a lie, there's only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.

It is very real indeed. I know many people who grew up there and who are forbidden from returning to their homes and livelihoods.

f'real?

I googled 'Famagusta' and without checking all the links there seemd suspiciously few from 'mainstream' sites but loads of results taht were 'too good' - for example most of the stories on the news page were from the Famagusta Gaztette, nothing from the BBC or Reuters; the main search gave me wikipedia (yeah right) and lots of sites called things like "famagusta.org", which could've been set up for this purpose; and all the image hits seem identical to the ones on that site. I would have expected more variety, it just looked like somebody had created lots of plausible web hits to fool anyone who googled it, but I admit I didn't spend TOO long checking it out.

Well let me put it this way then, DDD: that's my mother-in-law's hometown.

Yup, so outlandish that it is barely believable.

Unfortunately it is f'real.

You ever notice that everyone who believes in creationism looks really unevolved? Eyes real close together, big furry hands and feet. "I believe God created me in one day." Yeah, looks like he rushed it.

Found this good, if consise site for the original Wicker Man - http://www.steve-p.org/wm/
Of interest is some recently discovered photos, that confirm that certain mainland scenes in the script were indeed filmed.

Amazing sketches from WW2

Hans Liska (1907-1984) is one of the most well-known and prolific WWII Axis illustrators, who served with the German Armed Forces during the war. In 1942 and 1943 German publishing house Carl Werner in Reichenbach, sponsored by Junkers Flugzeug und Motorenwerke AG, published 2 albums with Hans Liska's sketches and color illustrations "to please the frontline soldiers and the workers of the weapon factories" in Germany. Definitely, Liska's art lived up to the expectations of his peers, and propaganda clichés left the well-recognizable footprints all over his painting and drawings. However, at the same time artist was also able to create something more valuable than NSDAP-commissioned propaganda poster for the crumbling wall of the neighborhood bakery in bombed-up German provincial town. Liska convincingly demonstrates that he has an eye for the real war drama, with all its pain, suffering, desperation, hard work, endurance, sense of duty, and courage for yet one more push to the utmost, which all participants are likely to share, no matter under what colors they fought and died.
