Yes, it's Penguin's John Rutherford translation and it's fun going. One of Kang's favorite things about reading these classics is discovering how funny they are. The humor holds up quite well, although still not as funny as the best parts of Moby Dick— which again, Kang maintains should be adapted by the Coens…

Continuing Kang's quest through literature's most satisfyingly thick books, he's finally cracked Don Quixote. Hoping to get to War and Peace before September.

Just mentioned this upthread! The scene of him teaching is masterful. Like Gary Oldman as Gordon, there's something really rewarding watching a guy who usually plays a menacing eccentric show his chops by playing decent and tender.

There is a wonderful scene in A Late Quartet(not necessarily a great movie in itself) of Walken teaching music that would also remind you that he's a terrific actor.

Kang's pouring one out for his contribution to Silent Running. Great movie.

Everyone likes Postmodern U2 better. On it's own, 'All That You Can't Leave Behind' is a perfectly fine album, but its success killed them creatively.

Yes, Kang did not realize that T. Rex was a latin band.

True. Kang hated the '90's trend of every hot actress having to go blonde as soon as they reached a wide audience (also known as 'the E.R. syndrome'— see Cardinelli, Linda, and Tierney, Maura)— but it worked like gangbusters for Kidman. Ridiculously hot.

Yes, this occurred to Kang even during the scene, but Dinklage sold it.

ugh, now Kang has to get back into his 'Total Recall' machine to scrub Paul Rust from his brain again.

Lighten up, Francis, For fuck's sake.

He was spotting Raccoons left and right!

Honestly, anyone who watches Silicon Valley and thinks Dinesh is a terrible person should stay the fuck away from Girls, where Hannah Horvath is the protagonist and she's basically the most useless horrible self-involved dipshit who ever lived, and lacks coding skills to boot.

This episode was truly great. It was parenthesized by two huge belly laughs by Kang:

That outfit was fucking awesome. It did more to sell that turn of events than the writing.

ARGH. Again, this show is all plot outline and no nuance. Could anyone have convinced Kang two years ago that Walder Frey's death would be so unsatisfying and perfunctory?

Yeah, Kang fucking hates Piscatella, but he's so well-acted that he's never a tedious, one-note bore. (Kang is looking at you, Iwan Rheon/Ramsay Bolton).

The bald one is pretty attractive, minus his personality. And Kang's a straight dude.
