I do like the sound of that, it has a ring to it

More like Noise of the Week innit?
... such stuff as dreams are made on
|

Noise is still sound.
That is exactly why I called it SOUND of the week and not something else (anymore), to not have this discussion.
It seems now that my plan backfired

"Anymore" is not a word.

AUE?!?
AUE!!!
I used to subscribe to AUE and AEU (from probably before you were born) to pretty much take the p1ss out of the idiots who made grand proclamations about the English language. I was one of the only two people who ever used the newsgroup who had an actual professorship in Eng.Lang, and we both despaired of the garbage that they laid down as "Absolute Law!". Feel free to completely disregard everything they say -- which is 99.999999% "style" and 0.000001% grammar, anyway, so it doesn't count for a toss.

So three sources (and I would at least call Google and Cambridge Dictionary good sources) state it as a word, but still it's not because somehow you're right, even if you have to ridicule an entire language/dialect/country for it... How tough can you be? 
Well, I don't know what to say anymore...

OK. google translate translates "alot" (another non-existent word) into "veel" (which, as I'm guessing you might know, means "a lot"), so the idea of their being a reliable source goes right out the window.
AUE is still AUE -- moin ca change, plus c'est la meme merde, and all that.
And you don't use an American dialect at all (I can't switch off editing mode, so I notice such things).
So you spelled it wrong.
Nyah, Nyah, Nyah!

I don't? I write color, not colour. I used to, but then I didn't. Organization, not organisation. Center, not centre. Etc.

There's a lot more to an idiom than spelling. Your construction is English, not US English.
Do you often insist that people say they're wrong because you want them to be, even though they're right?
Sorry, but I won't say I'm wrong In My Field Of Expertise when I'm not.

Saying that doesn't make you right about "anymore" 
I really wouldn't know the difference between English and US sentence construction.
"I have got no clue" vs. "I got no clue"?

Saying it doesn't do anything.
I'm right, nonetheless.
Sander Rossel wrote: "I have got no clue" vs. "I got no clue"?
Both say "I haven't/ain't got a clue" (although we English sometimes elide the "got"). It's minor (Italian-influenced) dialects that use "I (optional "ain't") got no clue" -- but the US film industry uses a lot of characters who speak in that dialect, so it's heard, but rarely spoken.

Sorry, but are you revisiting a sound of the week, or revisiting a week when there was a sound of it?
The public has a right to know.

Totally. in Italy he's more of an institution than an actor, we ALL grew up with him. 3 generation bond together.

"Watch out We're mad!" (Original "...Altrimenti ci arrabbiamo" literal "...otherwise we'll get angry") is one of the evergreens in Italy, and in office we often quote scenes from that movie

That one is really good! For a long time it was almost impossible to find on DVD, but now I think that there are several releases out...

Yeah, it's an Italian production so it could be really difficult to obtain. Usually the networks air a good selection of their movies at least once a year so we never felt the lack of DVDs/Cassettes. Many magazines periodically attach the series to the magazine so it's easy enough to collect them.

Wow...Sad...
Trinity: Oh, come on, Bambino. No sense...
Bambino: Don't call me Bambino!
Trinity: You want me to call you Sheriff?
Bambino: Don't call me, at all. Not even if you're drownin'.
And we probably can fill pages of funny quotes form his movies...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Damn I enjoyed the spaghetti westerns, those 2 amused me for hours. I will have to dig some of them up for a nostalgic review.

There are a lot of clips on Youtube, but I think that this one[^] is very representative of their movies. I'm not completely sure, but I think it's from "Crime Busters" / "I due superpiedi quasi piatti"
