    Whatever Works

    I'd say "The Office" (UK version) makes me cringe more. I'm not saying it's funnier, but it definitely is cringier. Some episodes almost make me physically ill.

    Short Film - "You & Your Beer & How Great You Are"

    Nice stuff. Plenty of heart in this. Nice camera work. Like the way you don't get to see the guy's face til well into it. Reminds me of the scene in Factotum - you know - the world's best horse player! Liked the drive back during the credits too. My only gripe is with the FM soft rock used...

    my favorite lines from this one.

    The Death of a Bee... (1962)

    It has that great raw, desperate feel to it, like one of the drunken letters in Screams. I just love it when he misspells a word "an" just leaves it there... This would never happen with a PC! How strange to be reading time capsules like this in 2009. Thanks C.

    Fire Station

    Hmmm, a love poem disguising its feelings as macho slapstick humor. Hmmm. That does sound like classic Bukowski. I must reluctantly admit you guys are winning me over here. To my defence I have to say that I have always given Fire Station the benefit of my doubt. But I DO have to disagree...

    Fire Station

    OK, mjp, good point on the humor. Seems to be the main strength of this piece, but it only brings out chuckles in me (I had 43 cents and nothing but time, sometimes I think Im a king, in spite of myself). But what do you guys who think its pure fiction make of the dedication: For Jane B...

    Fire Station

    So what is it about this poem? Every time I read or hear it, I find myself wondering: Is it really a good poem? Usually I like Buk's long narrative poems, but this one always leaves me sort of empty. There's something about it, something obvious, hard, cynical and sad. There's something about...

    F. A. Nettelbeck: unloved and unphased

    Now where the heck would savages get hold of frozen food? Unless they were eskimo savages, or Norwegian savages, or Minnesotan savages... Real savages eat raw food, and I'm not talking about sushi.

    Oh my...there goes $239.99 (Beatles mono box)

    Thanks for putting things in perspecttive Purple S. The price had me wondering if more effort was put into the mono box. Anyway you guys have almost got me monophiled now. Question: was stereo the beginning of the downfall of recorded music quality, way before the digital monstrer appeared...

    Oh my...there goes $239.99 (Beatles mono box)

    OK audioBukphiles, its time for a dumb question. The stereo box has 16 CDs plus a DVD while the mono just has 13 CDs but costs more. So what's the hitch? Why is the stereo box cheaper? PS: plenty of boxes left in net shops across Europa, f.eks. www.cdon.net.
