I'm conflicted on that one. While I'll always watch an original version when I can now I didn't use to when I was a kid/teenager and the dubbed versions did their job to deeply impress me. And then there are voice actors who really do magnificent work. I'd single out the German voices of Peter Sellers/Inspector…

Watched the leftover of Union Pacific I still had from a couple days ago. I hadn't finished it out of dislike, mind, this was a sure thing as I totally dig Stanwyck and like McCrea quite a bit. So I started again at that freaking, I guess pretty De Mille-ian moment when that locomotive + train derails and crashes down…

Watch this video and see this patron's face when he learns what his sashimi is really made of.

Italian stallion sold as big tuna?
Consumers will notice!

The whole album (and, indeed, most Notwist) is pretty good.

Okay, I'll be that guy German: the man's name is Acher.

Watched Jacques Becker's Gold Helmet which thrives on its mixture of photography evoking 19th century realism and hard boiled crime tale – the opening shot of a group of criminal revelers and their prostitute friends in rowboats in the most beautiful landscape sets the tone: it is essentially a pretty rough-edged…

With the money I save on that trimmer I could pay those young loiterers I always tell to get off my lawn to just, erm, trim it while they are there, for, like, always probably.

Probably a holy mountain of the stuff.

True. And Al Cisneros seems like a totally swell person and he makes consistently awesome music. Wouldn't ever want to fight him.

I'm reading your comment as: 'Jezzles: … [totally] not … a shit head.'
By which I mean: Thanks! Accepted, of course!

"which is even mentioned in the article."

Certainly, Jarmusch isn't punk of the Discharge, Leather Jacket with Crass-patch, nine inch mohawk-persuasion, but apart from that I think he is totally close to Punk's impact and aesthetic, quite probably even empowered by it.
Not to mention that JOE STRUMMER played in Mystery Train, which is even mentioned in the…

That looks like a great selection - I don't know all of the texts, but some of them, like "Kleist in Thun", are, well, Walser. Quite unique and great.
I know Walser is revered for his short prose (and rightly so) but I also love his novels. Specifically, "The Assistant" and "Jakob von Gunten" are two books I go back to…

That really sounds pretty cool!
(What Walser title was it, do you remember?)

Thanks! I actually found this: http://www.npr.org/template… and had to stop myself reading all (…work)

Vampire Slayer vs Ghost Buster

Meanwhile, hapless brother and actor Jeff Knapp stares at his phone waiting for
his agent to call.

That's great about the translations!
Susan Sontag and Walser absolutely seems like a fit. Walter Benjamin wrote (at least) one short piece on Walser, too, which is illuminating and quite probably had its effect as well.
Apropos Walser's international readership I just recalled that Spanish writer Enrique Vila-Matas…

I'll try and check out Feneon, thanks!
