    --&nbsp;&nbsp;The German RC2 dvd of <em><strong>The Princess And the Warrior</strong></em> was released on December 7th. <br>
    <br>
    --&nbsp;&nbsp;New on my homepage: the <a href="lola/eng/lolareferences.htm">Lola's references</a> page with a collection of tv series and commercials that were inspired by <em><strong>Lola</strong></em>. <br>

    --&nbsp;&nbsp;On <strong>January 28th</strong>, the <strong>UK RC2 dvd</strong> of <em><strong>The Princess And the Warrior</strong></em> will be released in the UK. And just a day later, the <strong>RC1 dvd</strong> and will be released in the <strong>US and Canada</strong>. January 29th is also the date of the NTSC vhs video release, but since it was priced for the rental market, it will cost ca. $98... <br>

    --&nbsp;&nbsp;According to <a href="http://212.112.179.250/termine/1201-rc2.htm">DVD-Inside.de</a>, the German RC2 DVD of <em><strong>The Princess And the Warrior</strong></em> will be released on <strong>December 7th</strong>, jpc.de says it's the 6th. Well, at least we know the week of the release now, I guess. :-) <br>
    <br>
    --&nbsp;&nbsp;And according to <a href="http://www.x-verleih.de/index.html">X-Verleih</a>, the German release date of <em><strong>Heaven</strong></em> has been postponed to <strong>February 28th 2002</strong>, but at least it's official now. <br>

    --&nbsp;&nbsp;According to a 
    <a href="http://www.berlinale.de/en/presse/pressemitteilungen/heaven/f_main.html">press release</a>, 
    <em><strong>Heaven</strong></em> will not only be shown as a world premiere at next year's Berlin 
    International Film Festival, it will also open the festival. <br>
    Allegedly, the official release date for <em><strong>Heaven</strong></em> is not determined yet and 
    will be announced in November. <br>
    <br>
    --&nbsp;&nbsp;French actress Natalie Portman was seen at a Halloween party a few days ago dressed up as 
    <a href="http://www.hal-9000.net/wwwboard/images/pink2.jpg"><strong>Lola</strong></a>. :-) <br>

    --&nbsp;&nbsp;According to <a href=
    "http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20011011/en/film-berlin_1.html">dailynews.yahoo.com</a>, Tom's
    latest film <em><strong>Heaven</strong></em> will be shown at next year's <strong>Berlin Film
    Festival</strong>. <br>
    <br>
    --&nbsp;&nbsp;I thought it was about time to tidy up around here. :-) So here it is, the new
    version of my homepage with a clearer source code, cdd and a rather minimalistic design, as it were. I
    also reorganized lots of the different subpages and put them into other or new categories to make
    things (hopefully) easier. I think it's working pretty good, but if you should find a bug feel
    free to <a href="mailto:jan.fischer@tykwer-online.de">report it</a>. :-) Also, I finally found
    the time to test all the links again. <br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;It is more of a redesign than actually adding lots of new stuff, but it became necessary because a) I didn't want to write invalid code anymore (the only exceptions being the cgi pages like guestbook and message board, I'll work on that later), b) I wanted to get rid of frames and c) the former 
    categories of my site weren't too effective anymore because of the amount of information that has 
    been packed into these pages over the last three years: it became rather confusing to look for a 
    specific information. <br>
    &nbsp;&nbsp;Which is why some categories have been added to others or even new categories became
    necessary, so I hope you'll nevertheless find your way around here. :-) <br>
