Do you know what he didn't sell?

About this poem: the first line goes: "Rex was a two-fisted man" Is the phrase "two-fisted" common in English or is this Buk's creation?

The word "carve" made me think of this quote from "Beerspit Night & Cursing": "Part of the secret is in laying down the word. The word must be put down on the page so that it is drilled down there, screwed-down, fucked-down, so that it will not brush away."(Moore: 278) And when it comes to...

Is this the oldest one then?

Bad news: Factotum has lost its american distributor. I just noticed that it had been pulled off Picturehouse's web page. Good news: after its showing to a satisfied audience (23 jan.) at the Sundance Fil Festival Factotum picked up a new distributor. Has anyone heard of IFC?: "Bent...

The norwegian film institute sells a zone1 (USA) version of Barfly listing the following extra material: Sone-1! Commentary by director Barbet Schroeder Documentary I drink, I gamble and I write: The making of Barfly Excerpts from Schroeder's The Charles Bukowski tapes Interactive Menus...

Wow! "Soft and fat like summer roses" is my favorite poem from Sifting thru the madness. Its a masterpiece of compact storytelling. Love it! (and love this forum...) And to think it had to wait 56 years to get collected! Endurance is the key... How many other gems are out there? Exactly because...

Look forward to seeing the forum's reaction to it. Guess it depends on what you expect. If you want a "blueprint" of Factotum you're in trouble, but good directors take a book and make it their own. Hamer has done this, for better or for worse. I've seen it twice and would see it again if I...

Don't they all...

Yeah Cire. Stop the teasing and start squeezing!

I like the part where Buk gets tears in his eyes when he sees some hopeless, uniformed young nazi-demonstrators in LA and says "That could have been me..." Thing is he understood and acknowledged the feelings and frustrations that make people join up with warped causes like nazidom.

Women. I remember the quote that won me over: "Then I went out and puked in the rose bed. A gusher in the moonlight." (or some such...) Still makes me chuckle :rolleyes:

Greyness works fine for me. Gotta admit I liked the typer-photo too. Never seen it before,first thought it was an accordion. Made me think of "Play the piano drunk..." Another idea: when you choose "send shortcut to the desktop" it would be nice if a Buk-icon were used to mark the...

I'd like to see a reprint of Crucifix in a Deathhand. Aren't there several poems there that have never been published elsewehere? And what about Flower Fist and bestial wale? (spell? wail? Kurt Weil?) Hey! How do you get italics into these messages? OK, found it --> went to advanced post...
