Your Weekend: Kein film, bitte

Walter definitely LOVES movies, but after his two-week Berlinale blog break, it's time to look elsewhere for some entertainment. At least for the next few days.

The Berlinale Blog: The 25. Teddy Award

The 25. Jubilee of the Teddy was last night and amongst the cleverly "airport"-themed takeover of Tempelhof, there were good moments and bad. The good was the important stuff though – the film.

Your Weekend: Last chances, classics and weirdos

After the psychotic mess of last weekend, this one is all about the end of things and keeping it quiet. Exhibitions leave us for who-knows-what and there are plenty of film retros to attend in the meantime.

Your Weekend: Live the spike

Think of Berlin as a cardiograph. The peaks mean we're living it, baby. But try not to think of all that. Just get out there.

Your Weekend: Come on... you know what it is

Walter's in Prague at the time of this writing and although he's enjoying himself and loving the city, the nightlife just doesn't stack up compared to Berlin. Just remember that!

Your Weekend: Are you crazy yet?

Read this blog and make Walter more famous than Gayle Tufts. Or just figure out what the hell you're doing for the weekend. There's no real escape from Christmas here though. Or baby Jesus.

Your Weekend: Come and go

Things rise and fall in Berlin. Such as the intensity of nightlife from weekend to weekend. We lose a few things here, gain some here. And Achtung: this weekend all this to and fro is cheaper to get to than ever.

Your Weekend: Marred by terrorism? Sickness? Whatever.

Amid all this talk of terrorism, Walter also has a cold. Which is worse? Doesn't matter – there's still too much weekend action going on to care about either.

Your Weekend: Quirk, quirk, quirk it.

Quirk. Sounds like quark. Less nutritious, but much more fun. This weekend is too full of cool people for one city - and all the quirk you need to keep it running. Walter loves it.

Your Weekend: Ich, Bermuda and some freedom

Walter wants to remind everyone to not blow their load too early and end up like he did... thinking four ibuprofen pills are still not enough and trying to get you this blog before night falls.

Your Weekend: Cured illness, rockin' birthdays and CRACK!

It's time to get back into the long unsleep, no matter what your circumstances. Breathing Berlin air can be deadly if you're not diluting it with a good mix of alcohol, music, nicotine and scandalous conversation.

Your Weekend: Old skool rap, 100 beautiful DJs & Bret Easton Ellis
