Blade Runner is a good movie. Although heavy doses of Suzanne Collins (Hunger Games) and Ridley Scott on the same day is not - especially uplifting. haha.
Finally found the updated version of Brothers Karamazov! Will probably start tomorrow. Was told variously by people "just read Constance Garnett" and "don't read that Constance woman's translations, Nabokov called them a complete disaster". Understandably confused, but eventually enlightened (and elated) by this article on translation in the New Yorker. Totally, totally agree. If only we were given more time (and had more time) and had more pairs of meticulous eyes to look over our translated releases before we released them!
If only, if only. Alas.
