... because there really, really, really ought to be more of these.

Around... six months ago, I guess it is now, I started translating Rudolf - Affaire Mayerling into English and subtitled it onto the original DVD shot.  I have been very casual with distributing it to anyone interested (there are a lot of interested people)... and more than once ( Read more... )
