I've decided to travel the long way and visit the Munich screening of EVERYONE STARES on Stewart's birthday.

I must say that I already own an advance DVD so I didn't need to see the movie that desperately.

But it was a very nice event.

It was all part of the Munich Film Festival. Munich is a nice city in general. And just when all the Football (Soccer) fans left the town the film people arrived. So it was very alive again. And lots of national and international movie business people could be seen around this cinema (and probably others).

Eberhard Schoener was there and introduced the screening with some kind words to THE POLICE and Stewart in particular.

The movie was slightly different from my advance copy. That had to do with copyright reasons. But it doesn't affect any scenes with members of THE POLICE.

The titles and the credit sequence also changed just slightly.

The sound was bad. But that was a technical problem of the cinema. The movie itself was in Dolby Digital 5.1. But the cinema showed it in some other format. So the music was deafeningly loud compared to the spoken language.

After the movie Stewart entertained the audience with some stand up comedy and answered lots of questions.

Then he took some time to talk to a few fans and autographed stuff.

The event surrounding the screening itself was captured on video, but I can't let you know too much about that right now...

So for all those who have not yet seen the movie: it's only two more months until you'll see bits of THE POLICE like you've never seen them. And hear the very personal story of their drummer.

A very nice and funny man.
He's got a very friendly manager, too - Derek Power.
And Eberhard Schoener is a kind man, too. Very quiet, yet very passionate about music.

I hope that you'll soon see and hear what he said about the POLICE and what he thought of their music, because it was quite interesting!
Plus there was a real emotional highlight for me as well. But maybe you'll see that on video or DVD soon, too.
