Hey Crouwel, can you tell me if it's possible to find the "Henk Hogeboom van Buggenum" series by Wim Kayzer in some small shop up there?
A Dutchie who lives here is going back for Xmas and i was hoping to ask her if she can find it for me (if that's not too much trouble of course)
I have no clue if it's already on DVD nor can I find it on amazon or elsewhere.
Prost!

All I know is that thin man, weird last name is out today, building something in Utrecht... but I'm sure he's thinking of us....

?
actually my friend is from Utrecht. That's a nice place. I've been there once when I was a 12 yr old brat. I remember a pet-shop that had a big snake (probably poisonous) in a pool at the store-front, and I remember thinking: "jesus, these dutchies are crazy.".

Anyway, speaking of Rembrandt...
Take a tour in the best online museum of the world, imo:

too bad the actual museum is the balls...

really? you are bullying me...
howcome it's bull?
- mr_snuggles0
baws, it's baws, it's not worth the €10...

btw, the thin-man is actually known in Scotland as the Fetch, in England as Mr. Grey and, believe it or not, in Portugal, as "O Homem Cinzento" (trans: Mr. Greyman). It's one the most bewildering entities in popular lore out here.
But the weirdest of them all is the "Secular das Nuvens" (in eng: "The Cloud Profane Man"),
which is the remnant of the pagan Almighty in Portugal. Funny or not, people still believe it more than Christandom.

I'd pay the 10€ or more to see Rembrandt. You're just saying that because you can see it anytime you want.

I'm more of a Vermeer man myself...

yes, well, wow, I cannot but agree. Rembrandt is film. Vermeer is... what photography is incapable of being... without machines or tech specs.., it's art itself. it's Vermeer. It's the milkmaid. it's, utterly, life. That is painting.

word..

can you think of it? a XVI century dutch boy from a secluded snowy city, painting like no one has done it ever since... literally, like there's no tomorrow...
I wonder what was in that head if not a bright watch on life. Like Shakespeare. Or Dürer, who came up with object-painting. That is amazing.
Believe it or not, i find Shakespeare, Vermeer and Dürer (and the lost portuguese Gil Vicente, writer and artist) the core of what European culture is. Old, but refreshingly new.

anyway, I was really hoping some help on that "Beauty and Consolation" major series.
Is it on DVD?
