visionaries vs. visionaries

by chance, i recently met a friend of mine with whom i kind of lost contact a few years ago. the first thing he said after "hi" was "i got something for you right here..!". strange. he rummaged around in his backpack and passed me an old cd i bought about 3 years ago when i met him at a visionaries concert. he basically should have kept it in his pack during the concert to hand it to me afterwards, but we both forgot it back then...
damn, the backback era was cool! and you can store things in there for 3 years or more!
you never know who you could cross today!
thanks furrer!

hercules in new york

arnie by noel leu

SE SAME OLD SINGS, SE SAME OLD FACES...
due to a friend of mine who's totally into arnold schwarzenegger, i got to know the trailer and the best scenes of arnie's first movie «hercules in new york» (1970). arnold's (credited as arnold strong) austrian-english was dubbed in the beginning, but later-on replaced by the original voice.
the amazing plot, full of deep poetry and philosophically evidential questions, tells the story of half god hercules, who's fed up of his boring life above the clouds. after a heart-touching talk, zeus finally allows him to drop on earth and see the big city life, and the adventure begins!
check arnie's acting and language skills:
