I think they left that off because the movie doesn't actually call Hitler by name. But yeah, it should be here.

As would the little booklet that came with their last album.
It looks like this is Leor Galil's first music review on the main site. Hazing?
It's kind of perfect, in a way. There's no way you could look at it and not know what you're buying. Or not buying, more likely.
Only if he gets to bring along McGuirk as a sword-wielding El Zorro type sidekick. With a little mustache.
It would have been nice if they'd given Jane something to do aside from try to drink herself to death and shack up with Joanie Stubbs. She hated both Swearengen and Bullock and it might have been interesting to see her sober up and do something about it.
I'd love to see a one-shot spinoff starring the original Colonel Lloyd Venture (Rusty's grandfather) and dealing with the founding of The Guild of Calamitous Intent. That's gotta be worth a TV movie, right? Weren't they making a TV movie?
That new project he mentions certainly sounds interesting. I'll have to remember that.
He reminds me of Spiegelman a lot, actually.
I've read The Fixer but haven't checked out his other stuff yet.
I can't get past the antisemitism in The Sun Also Rises. The way Robert Cohn just snivels his way through the whole book and gets kicked around by everyone else.
Sounds like you could use a Victory Gin, comrade.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The dreamlike rythms in his books make them endlessly rereadable. The way he weaves language together makes it almost like music.
Aside from which, once I've lent someone a book and they've read and returned it, I often feel compelled to re-read it myself and think about how the turns in the…
They read what spambot wrote there.
I too have read most of HST's scribbles, even the collections he lashed together late in life just to earn a few bucks. Still the odd diamond to be found in all the broken glass.
I just boxed up my shit and moved to a new apartment, and most of those boxes contained either books or CDs.
It's comforting to know that I have them, even if I'll never read many of them again. Why wouldn't you want to accumulate a library of the books that have influenced you, impacted your life, or even just…
Orwell's Homage to Catalonia was a nice find for my inner Spanish Civil War nerd. I didn't know much about Orwell's life before I read it. It was nice to see the man was willing to fight for his ideals.
The End of the World News is a good Burgess read. Doesn't approach the insanity of Clockwork Orange, but then if it did you'd have heard of it already.
I did the same thing with Something Happened. Gave up, skipped to the end, and what the fuck? Maybe it makes sense if you read the whole book.
Sometimes I like to toss out "Who is Spain? Why is Hitler?" during Q&As. Nobody ever seems to get it.
Where was that mealy-coloured old man I called poppa when the merry-go-round broke down?
Is Tarky franchising?
@Tomorrow it's been ten years since I read A Confederacy of Dunces and I didn't like it either. In the introduction the author's suicide is mentioned, which may have coloured my interpretation of the book, but the whole novel seemed unremittingly bleak to me rather than comic. Every character is self-serving and…
