💬 How did one Italian comic strip about a group of incompetent secret agents become the ultimate pop-culture phenomenon in Yugoslavia?
Alan Ford was created in Italy in 1969 by Max Bunker and Magnus. This dark, satirical comic flopped in countries like France and Brazil and never even received an English translation. But when it hit Yugoslavia in 1972, it became an absolute cultural obsession.
The secret weapon? The translation.
Croatian journalist and writer Nenad Brixy completely reimagined the Italian text. Brixy injected the dialogue with brilliant wit, mature jokes, and highly specific Serbo-Croatian idioms that transformed a simple comic into a literary masterpiece of social satire.
His work was so legendary that even after Yugoslavia dissolved, fans across the newly formed countries rejected new, localized translations. They only wanted Brixy’s original text! To the readers, Brixy's version was Alan Ford.
In 2015, the town of Varaždinske Toplice in Croatia even erected a memorial plaque honoring Brixy's massive contribution to the language.

Our boy literally wrote a book about a dysfunctional middle class family all coming home for Christmas. No cliches here.
"You get at most one cliché per book."
Jonathan Franzen doesn't finish most books people send him. He reads until the second cliché, then stops.
"People send me a galley of a book that's coming out. I read along until I get to the second cliché, and I say, thank you."
"They tell me this is not an attentive writer. Aren't you aware that that's a cliché? Didn't it occur to you to stop and take 20 minutes to find a better phrasing than that?"
"You can also have borrowed feelings, borrowed ideas, borrowed situations. Sentiment can be clichéd, or unearned."

Rest in power to Frances Stonor Saunders, one of the few unironically “serrrious” academics of our age 😓
I just learned that Frances Stonor Saunders has died. She has been an incredible inspiration and great source of information to me for my project @Cold_War_Cinema. RIP.

One last look inside Tippett Studio. The legendary f/x house is closing, and its models, props & precious artifacts are being sold off.
I spent a day inside the workshop, surrounded by Star Wars, RoboCop, Jurassic Park, and decades of handmade movie magic.

The Tough Ones (1976). Also known as Italy: Armed To The Teeth this is a good example of director Umberto Lenzi's knack of making fast paced pulp action movies in whatever genre was selling at the time.
Maurizio Merli (and his impressive moustache) is maverick Inspector Tanzi, trying to take down brutal gangster Savelli and his psychotic brother in law Moretto by whatever means necessary. Shoots outs, car chases (many were filmed without permission) and lots of fist fights ensue. Tanzi seems to like kicking suspects where it hurts, speaking through gritted teeth and breaking the law when it suits him.
It's an Italian Poliziotteschi, a genre of over the top high carnage crime stories that mixed exploitation cinema, vigilante justice and the Mafia with the awful news headlines from the Years of Lead. Maurizio Merli starred in a lot of these, including Violent Rome, Violent Naples and Fear In The City and they're all fast paced and pretty brutal.
The Tough Ones did get a Blu-Ray release recently but I'm not sure which regions it's available in. It should be available on Prime Video though.

“Thompson sometimes loaned Stanley a tie if they went out to a restaurant...”
@gonzomike writes expertly on just about every cultural subject I love. Enjoyed his recent piece on the relationship between Jim Thompson and Stanley Kubrick:
