I have created and killed the Italian cinema
Dino De Laurentiis may have known Fellini, but he is certainly no Fellini himself. He's way better than Geena Davis's husband, though. This interview with the inexplicable Italian Hollywood movie producer extraordinaire is at times equally inexplicable, with endless cryptic references to "the Goat", among other things. He is perhaps best known for producing such infamously bad sci-fi disasters--er, CULT CLASSICS as Flash Gordon and Barbarella, a feature-length tribute to Jane Fonda's thighs. He's also in charge of Hannibal, the sequel to Silence of the Lambs, which should actually be pretty good, considering Dino says «I have contacted Ridley Scott, that one of " Blade runner ", that it is also more coolness like director. David Mamet, the brilliant commediografo, more the beloved, more Bravo to the world, has said to me yes for the script.» More coolness and Bravo to the world indeed.

Super-Swiss
Nicolas Hayek looks like an ugly version of Sean Connery and I don't think he's related to Selma Hayek. I guess he's like a superhero or something, though. It's a cheese! It's a chocolate! No, it's Super-Swiss!

Tricky light
Hey, I almost bought this album (Juxtapose) tonight, but I didn't. Maybe I would have though if I'd read this German article first. It's actually quite a positive review, despite the misleading title. By the way, I run the Tricky mailing list.

Herta hay who is dead
A German woman died recently at the ripe old age of 86. And the recipe for her popular, spicy "Currywurst" sausage sauce, «The " Curry with Pommes red/white "», died with her. Let us all mourn the loss.

Luigi: Maestro del Glamour
I don't know what this Luigi's the Maestro of, but it sure ain't glamour (hey, look at that, I actually said "ain't"). "For Luigi there is single a Maxima undisputed at the time of receiving: to do it with grace." Actually, he has a couple more: "Any thing that you prepare, if you serve it with enchantment, is going to be special"; and «"Is necessary to put color to him to the life. With which one has, if it knows how to shine it, can arm atmospheres glamorosos, sophisticated, entertained. That is the only secret, besides to enjoy the life", it warns laughing.» Another secret is that he is actually Natalie Merchant. Or something.

Sister Ines prays and makes rap sacred
A rapping Brazilian nun. Look, I'm not making this up.

my challenge to the Olympic Games
«Geena Davis: " I try the olympic adventure with the arc and the arrows "» That's the entire article. You don't need to click on the link because THAT'S IT. Geena Davis's husband is this braindead Norwegian Hollywood producer named Thor or something who keeps getting to be in charge one big-budget flop after another, most recently that Deep Blue Sea movie or whatever.

Adecco becomes market leader in the USA
"the French-Swiss time work company Adecco takes over substantial sections of the US time work company Olsten corporation for approximately 600 million dollar." I worked as a temp (which I guess is what they mean by "time work") through Olsten for the longer part of three years and they treated me like shit right up until the end, especially since I was young and male. "Adecco had taken over only profitable sections and not the health area." No shit. I once saw a check from my employer to Olsten and Olsten was getting $9 for themselves for every $12.50 I made.

No night without murder
I always say a night without murder is like a morning without dew. "If they pass still the tests in English, driving and shooting, they get the blue more uniform on near as well as the blue toque with the label ' United nation, budget unit '." Is that like the highest position a shopping mall security guard can aspire to?

Nathan to the new president of Singapore
Remember that guy Nathan from third grade who was always sticking stuff up his nose in the back of the classroom? Well, he's the president of Singapore now! Oh wait, this article says he "will be 81 years old at flow of his office period." Maybe I'm thinking of a different Nathan. The one I knew didn't have a uterus.
