Hal

you catch me unprepared, I'll have to do some research :))))

It depends on the times, Flagfelson. In this period, the number of jazz enthusiasts has indeed dwindled, but we hope it can grow in the future. Perhaps your review could be the right boost; we’ll see.

Thank you very much for the feedback, oculto supersovrano. It seems to me that we generally agree on the film, even though I still liked koch. However, to better understand the expressive abilities, I would like to see him in other works, so I’ll wait to find the one recommended by kosmogabri. Bye :)

Thank you antmo, and for the rest, I’m always at your disposal, whenever you want. Tiny, let me know if the choice is good: "I wanted a black black black cat, you gave me a white cat and I can't take it anymore." :D

Points of view El Guevo, just different viewpoints, all respectable. Of course, we could talk about other cinema as well, but I don’t see how that relates to the subject of the discussion, which seems to be clearly outlined. Then I have to agree with Blackdog, Black Dahlia is not the best film to judge De Palma; in fact, I’ve mentioned eight, it seems to me, you just need to read four lines, it's not hard. Actually, since we’re at it, let’s make it nine; I rewatched Carrie, The Devil’s Eye, and I can’t deny it gets a tight 3 from me. Haloa :))

Do you say? Maybe it's because I've loved other noirs and not the disjointed composition that De Palma offers us in Black Dahlia in its various parts. As for the irony, who says I don't get it, it's just that I evaluate it differently, that is, as an "irony" that often slips into bad taste, banality, clichés... without any controversy, the fact is there is always another point of view, it's not just a matter of tastes or reading ability. Bye.

Please, no fake, just let me know if among those 10 albums there's any must-have, I'm always happy to make new discoveries. Now I'm off to write a review on Lo zecchino d'oro for the joy of tiny ;)))

Sorry for the delay, but I have the good habit of spending the weekend well away from my PC, mobile phone, television, etc. I see that the review has raised some scattered impressions; replying to everyone is challenging, but I think it's only fair to do so, so I gladly leave my replies. @ zarboris, it’s not my habit to talk about an album unless after repeated and persistent listens; in this case, everyone (including the last listen in the fog of last Saturday's dawn) confirmed the idea of a beautiful but boring album. It’s an album that contains some (few) nice songs, but for me, it struggles to take off. I think this is a significant flaw, difficult to forgive from artists like Laura Veirs, who has a lot of talent, but in this case, it seems poorly spent as it presents an overall rather anonymous album. I'm glad you have a different perception, even if only partially since it seems I understand you consider it to be of a lower level than her other works. @ Pi.per, perhaps we’re not that far apart; I could say it occasionally grazes sufficiency, but knowing Laura Veirs one could expect more, at least I expected more intensity that I did not find. As for Feist, I agree; "The Reminder" I liked because it heavily relies on Leslie's vocal abilities, it's an album that felt very sunny, alive, and at times intimate. It seemed to me a step forward, a growth compared to "Let it die." @ DanteCruciani, my Saturday morning was all good, you can see it here with the whole path :) (remove spaces from the link) - @ jim, I knew I could count on your solidarity. @ kosmo, no, there is a review of the naughty girl, but indeed, "Back to Black" is missing, which is a good album; it's just that I don’t choose what to review, the album chooses to be reviewed, and it hasn't asked me yet ;) - @ Charley, thank you so much, talking about an album that disappointed me is not easy for me, that’s why it doesn’t happen frequently. @ nick, I heard that Amy – after years of suffering – fell in love and wants to leave music; I hope it’s just one of those classic journalist's exaggerations that had nothing else to write about, and if it’s true, I hope she doesn't leave music for cinema. @ kataklisma, yes, it’s an album that risks being forgotten, which is a shame. I listened to it again on Saturday morning in the car, hoping to finally find that spark I was looking for, instead... - @ Ghemison, do listen to her anyway, because you should never trust reviews ;) - @ sfascia, you’re right about everything, adding a "depends" as big as the Gennargentu. See you at "Berlin," I’m counting on it :) - @ Bisius, it’s not beautiful what is beautiful, but how beautiful, how beautiful, how beautiful :) - @ nofake, no, listen to it, maybe starting from her previous works to get to this one; it’s not a waste of time, she’s a talented artist who deserves to be heard, and my disappointment might not be yours. Regarding your question about choices, keep in mind that there are many editors, all with different tastes, so choices also stem from this factor; it depends on who is editing, and there’s nothing mathematical about it; in fact, it’s often very random. I truly thank you for the praise you have given me, but I must say that I disagree with you, partly because I don't love rankings, but also because there are (and have been) many very good users on debaser who articulate their proposals well. In general, I don't believe I'm either better or worse, just different like everyone else, and the beauty is that there are so many proposals, indeed different, under one roof. @ tinybanks: as I said to sfascia, it depends; in fact, these are situations that can be annoying, not that they annoy :) Have a good week.

I know it exists but I don't remember seeing it ajeje, I will look for it, thanks :)

Now I've read it, too bad I didn't do it earlier, I agree with everything, for me it's a nice movie, not a masterpiece, but a nice movie.
