I finally got around to reading "Society of the Spectacle" on the bus back from Detroit a couple weeks ago. Awesome stuff, and a bit tough going at first, but after awhile I got into the style of it, and even found it funny, at times. I'm hoping to get around to this one as a follow-up whenever I get a chance.

I would highly recommend watching the film adaptation he made of "Society..." also. His flowing French accent is highly listenable, which is reason enough to check out anything, I guess.

Edited for grammar.

I don't think anyone is going to vote CRAP on Debord.

There are currently several C/NC's on the page with a 100% NC rating, but all have less than ten votes. Let's see how many people get in before somebody says "CRAP".

Have any of the proper english-subtitled films been released yet? This book is an incredible experience. The films are brilliant, excellent. But I'd like to actually see them in english...
