Herzog did his job and flogged for this film across the nation and all the thanks he got was a limited limited release, the bastards!
Bound To Lose (link)
Way to many films starring Richard Widmark (link) Thanks to the secret internets I have gone off the deep end downloading and watching old films starring Richard Widmark, best known for his roles in Kiss Of Death, Pickup on South Street and Don't Bother To Knock. They don't make movie stars like him anymore - my new favs are Yellow Sky, Warlock, The Last Wagon, The Frogmen, Slattery's Hurricane, and my new best-of-them-all-favorite: Night and The City (link).

Marketa Lazarová - My favorite movie finally out on DVD (link) And Marketa, she looks even lovelier now

Gipi - Notes For A War Story (link)

NYRB brings us a better version of some of Platonov's stories (funny that they are the publisher of some of the shoddier versions as well!)

Thanks for choosing my book "I Shall Destroy All the Civilized Planets".

For readers unaware of the bizarre work of Fletcher Hanks, I suggest that you slide over to the BONUS page of my website for a Fantomah story that does NOT appear in the book!

It's good to see you back, Mr Walker. I haven't seen anything from you online in about five months. I hope you can get back to making Theory of Everything. I miss it.
