    Factotum Poster

    O.k., so whether you hated or loved the movie, maybe you can help me out. I am trying to find the alternate version of the poster that has Matt Dillion cleaning the giant indian statue. I've hit all my usual resources and found nothing. I've seen it on ebay once, but that was quite a while ago...

    Buk Trivia... Answerer becomes next Questioner

    Since Days was published in 1969 and since I'm guessing a majority of those "leftover" poems probably had to do with Jane, I'm going to guess "Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame" which is selected poems from 1955 through 1973.

    Ha! I don't know about this one....BUK was certainly a big drinker, but not to the degree of abandon as a Dylan Thomas or Jack Kerouac.

    Suggestions for Bukowski Poetry

    I've always had a soft spot for War All The Time, probably because I love the poem "Horsemeat".

    if you like bukowski...

    I certainly agree with the Raymond Carver recommendation and I would also suggest Knut Hamsun and any of William T. Vollmann's fiction.

    What are you listening to now?

    Oh man, it's been a lot of Blind Lemon Jefferson, Sippie Wallace and Mississippi Fred Mcdowell, but lately I can't get some of those Amy Winehouse tunes out of my head....

    Factotum second time around

    I saw 'Factotum' a few times in the theater and just ordered the DVD and I think for me, it gets better with each viewing. To one of roni's points, it does move at a very slow, deliberate pace much like Aki Kaurismaki's "Match Factory Girl" or even Michelangelo Antonioni's "The Passenger", which...

    Marina Louise Bukowski

    Just to back up for a moment, and I think I have said this before, but the way the law used to be written, and I think this would have been applicable at the time of Bukowski's death, the children of an author are entitled to 50% of all that author's future roaylties after the author's death...

    The Slapping Scene

    OK, I haven't been around for a while, but where the hell is Olaf when you need him?:) I can't believe this thread: "Let's forgive and forget", "the rage that led to Hank's violence fueled the beauty that became his and Linda's love", "Linda was drinking too", on and on and on. Sure, Buk's rage...

    For Sale - my soul!

    Thanks Bill! I thought it was slang, otherwise I would have looked it up myself! I'll have to remember to use that one sometime....

    For Sale - my soul!

    OK, I need to be honest here, what's a "shill"? I haven't heard that term before...I know it's derogatory and it sounds cool, but I don't have any idea what it means.....

    Ok, forgive me for being the insensitive jerk here, but shouldn't this thread be in all things *not* bukowski?

    Hey cirerita, the Google Desktop Window uses your system's default browser for searches. So if your default browser is IE, then it will use IE. Looks like you've installed Firefox, but it's not your default browser. If you are using Windows XP and want to check or change your default browser...

    Factotum (movie)

    Not sure if I'm following you here, but I think you are suggesting that BUK is a hero of the 'beat generation'(*gasp:eek:*)? If so, you may want to check out or post to this thread: https://bukowskiforum.com/showthread.php?t=216&highlight=beat

    Factotum (movie)

    Bernstein, I think you may have missed something in your viewing of Blood Simple to consider it a failure, so you may want to consider watching it again and checking out what these chaps have to say about it: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/blood_simple/ Also, I did get a chance to see...

    Heavy Smoker?

    Olaf, I know that BUK smoked cigarettes starting in High School (I think I got that from Ham on Rye) and continued that habit with the occasional cigar until he started dated Linda B. in the late seventies. After they started dating, Linda B. helped get him interested in smoking beedies, which...
