How do you say "oops" in German?
This comes from Deutche Welle (http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,2144,2809807,00.html), here are excerpts from the article:
A US film about a German hero who plotted to kill Hitler has been highly controversial -- not least because of its main star, Tom Cruise. On top of it all, the production firm's now facing the ultimate nightmare.
Tom Cruise really tried to get it right: After all the criticism surrounding his plan to film crucial scenes of his new movie at original locations -- some feared that the movie shoot would dishonor a German war memorial, others simply objected because of Cruise's Scientology membership -- the US actor had finally received permission to film from the German government, put on his uniform and was ready to die as Colonel Claus Graf von Stauffenberg, who had been executed by the Nazis for the failed attempt on Hitler's life....
Unlike a previous shoot at Germany's Nazi-era finance ministry -- where several extras got injured after falling off a truck -- things seemed to go just fine. Stauffenberg's execution was in the can and the crew moved on to less controversial locations....
It might have been smart to check the film material before dismantling the set. On Friday, Oct. 5, production officials confirmed reports that most of the celluloid had been damaged and that scenes would thus have to be re-shot as a result. The only scene to survive the mysterious mess-up was apparently the actual execution.

To Harvest or not to Harvest, that is the question;
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The pipes and bullets of outrageous Splicers,
Or to take arms against a horde of Big Daddies,
And by opposing, end them. To die, to sleep...
