Very happy to hear that you both enjoyed the concert - I can guarantee you would have been even more emotionally moved if Ennio had been the one doing the conducting. He was always exemplary during his performances.
By the way, love to see pics of the T-shirt and mug you bought… :wink:

I hope that this young Ukrainian-born lady goes far…

It’s World Autism Awareness Day and for anyone on the forum who has a relative, friend, or knows someone with an autistic person in their life, there’ll always be good days and bad days, but love, patience, and kindness trump all the bad stuff.

Having finally gotten a proper diagnoses for Autism myself nearly a decade ago, I try to encourage awareness with others

Howdy, folks!

My BA thesis on dubbing in Spaghetti Western is finally ready. I’d like to thank you all for support, and a special thanks go to those who gave me some information and materials.

I could’ve posted it here (or could I, is it against the rules?), but SWDB doesn’t allow PDFs in messages :sweat_smile:

uhm, you could publish it somewhere (there are various scientific publishing platforms out there, alternatively some dropbox or issuu or something), and link to it?

Thanks for sharing. The other interesting difference is Django’s final line of dialogue to Alida which more implies a supernatural presence in the Italian dub compared to the English dub.

I will read it but are currently preparing to move and have limited time (what a stuff do people collect in just a few years)
But I am curious about the comments and grade you get from your thesis.

Good luck with moving and I wish you good luck with your new home, @LooneyElmerFudd :smile:

Our grades are on a scale from 1 to 5. 1 means you passed and 5 is the best grade. My thesis was graded 5.

My teacher said in the evaluation form, that overall, the thesis is good work. It has all the necessary parts, the language is correct and everything is clearly presented. She also highlighted the fact that there really isn’t former research done on the topic (at least available online), but I’ve still managed to find relevant sources and do all this.

However, she said that I could’ve described problems and limitations related to the research method and categorization in more detail. Also according to the evaluation form, the way I’ve presented everything in the paper could’ve also been a bit better, but I didn’t receive any specifics on what it refers to.

I’m very excited to share with fellow SW fans from the States that Turner Classic Movies is going to be airing Sergio Corbucci’s Il Grande Silenzio (The Great Silence) Tuesday night at 11:30 pm as part of their month long salute to the Essential Westerns for their Spotlight series. Don’t know if they’ll be showing it In the original Italian with English subs or the English dubbed version yet, but either way it’s exciitng they’re showing a non-Leone SW.
