Local Campusses are not allowed to broadcast over here. There are a few local community radio stations like Radio X or LoRa but you know how it is with community radio and the national pop station Couleur 3 is not bad. The rest is just sheer garbage.<BR/><BR/>BTw I heard rumours that a Hollywood studio bought the rights to the Divine Comedy and is planning a game and a feature film...*shudder*<BR/><BR/>Cool Mormon Joke there.

I do better with his guide to the Underworld, Vergil.<BR/><BR/>The first time I saw Benigni was as the taxi driver in Rome in Jim Jarmusch's "Night on Earth" / "Une nuit sur terre." He was hysterical. I can reveal no more, just rent it. Sounds like you won't need subtitles.<BR/><BR/>Some USA critics were very harsh about "Life Is Beautiful" / "la Vita รจ bella." I think The New Yorker guy called it "Holocaust-Lite." Well, Benigni didn't invent the genre, Mel Brooks saw the Fun Side of these events in "The Producers" and its crazy musical comedy "Springtime for Hitler."<BR/><BR/>Hmmm ... can you recommend any CH university radio stations that have Web Stream? Some guys in Nova Scotia are just yakking endlessly about comic books. And Cambridge U is playing crappy rap.Vleeptron Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01913822255924924435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30829516.post-63427882655665828292008-11-18T17:58:00.000-05:002008-11-18T17:58:00.000-05:00Remember Roberto Begnini ?

See, Francesca was supposed to be married to this bloke which she detested and fell in love with Paolo instead. The other bloke found out and killed them both. Now they are doomed to reside in Hell, their souls swinging forwards and backwards without a chance of meeting again. The story is based on real events well known to Dante and his contemporaries.<BR/><BR/>As for the morons, eh, mormons....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
