Ilpazzo

Finally, someone who praises me (even if not with full votes) this magnificent musical masterpiece! We need to stop referring to Michael Jackson as the black guy who made Thriller! Michael was also a white man who made History! and it's a masterpiece! even if his skin and quirks annoy you... History is a MUSICAL masterpiece! MU-SI-CAL! Then if tonight Michelino is accused of satanism... that's his problem and Beelzebub's! Long live Jackson, the artist king of pop! Bye. Nice review!

Thank you for mentioning me! For me, the Chemical Brothers still remain the top representatives in the electronic scene today, it doesn't matter if their beats are less BOOM BOOM BOOM compared to the past; what I love about the Chemical Brothers, apart from the great chaos of their tracks, is especially the psychedelia mixed with rock, pop, funk, and whatever else you can think of. We are The Night is the most elaborate, sonorous, and psychedelic of the duo! However, if you prefer the Chemical Brothers to create music for raving techno... you might be disappointed by this work of theirs based on sounds from the past combined with modern technologies. Yours is a nice review, but I must make one point! You said, "a Chemical Brothers CD has to make you dance." Sorry, but... can’t you dance to We Are The Night? Can’t you dance to Do It Again? Can’t you dance to Burst Generator? Excuse me, but... are you in a wheelchair? I mean... maybe the tracks are too psychedelic and revivalist, but... the big beat is present just like before! I don’t understand all this negative criticism of the album. Besides, I reviewed the promo version… while the original album is completely different! More fluid and cleaner arrangements and some different sound pieces! Like the vocal intro of Do It Again! For me... a great album. Sonically... the best! Oops... I've written another review! hehehe

Note: I bought the original! A WHOLE DIFFERENT THING!!!!!!!!! Cleaner sounds, smoother and more fluid mixing, reworking of some sound passages, like DO IT AGAIN which features a different vocal introduction from the promo version! In short.. the promo was a 9, the original version is a 10 with honors! The highest quality sound! The album, listened to continuously, becomes more and more enjoyable and elaborate.. "Modern Midnight Conversation" and "Burst Generator" are MASTERPIECES of electronic music! One of the best works by the Chemical Brothers! 10!

Mike 76: Want the titles? Braindead (comedic but... TRUE splatter movie! It holds the record!) "The Ripper of New York" uncut version by Lucio Fulci, "Demons" by Lamberto Bava, "Evil Dead" 1 and 2 (ironic but with very high doses of TRUE splatter), "Cannibal Holocaust" (the TRUE extremism... but I don’t like it because real animals are tortured), "The Thing" by John Carpenter, those unreleased Japanese horror films in Italy!!!! I saw one the other night where a human fetus is eaten and vomited onto a plate! Dear friends... SPLATTER with a capital S is not Hostel! It’s not Saw! These are modern movies trying to recapture the splatter horror atmosphere of the past... with results equal to ZERO!!!!!!!! ZERO, FLAT! Hostel 1 is a more comedic film than American Pie and has a couple of splatter scenes that are funnier than the comedic parts! Hostel 2 is all talk, talk, and in the end... some splashes of blood and a severed penis... but how the hell can you call such a thing a TRUE splatter movie? Okay... there’s blood! There are horror scenes! So it falls into the splatter genre... but in my opinion... the era of TRUE splatter is dead! And if you don’t like this phrase of mine... go watch Hostel 2 with heaps of popcorn! But then watch Fulci's films! You’ll see that it confirms my statement!

One of the masterpieces of my childhood... BUT... seen again today, I think it has been a bit overrated artistically... I have never seen any directing wonders from Spielberg! The plot is nice, the actors are good, but... there’s something that doesn’t sit right; it’s slow, some dialogues are painfully boring, it’s half an American cliché focused more on visuals than on direction... the sentimental scenes feel forced... Why do people keep including Steven Spielberg in the list of great directors like Kubrick, Orson Welles, Ridley Scott, Cronenberg, and the like? Spielberg was good in the past but... nothing so great that it warrants being placed among the greatest.

Today, true splatter cinema has gone definitively to hell! We live in the era of FAKE scandalous films like the two Hostel and Saw movies, which are not scandalous at all! They contain splatter scenes presented as uncensored... when they are more censored than a Japanese manga broadcast in Italy. If we put together the splatter sequences of Saw and Hostel, we come up with a poorly executed and less splatter scene from Lucio Fulci! The era of true splatter is over! Braindead holds the record for blood scenes, and it’s all set with comedy and irony... a miracle! I can only pay tribute to the genre with my zero-budget amateur trash short films. Because only in the independent circuit can this genre come back to life. Splatter in Cinema is dead! Down with censorship! Death to the censors!

Solomon, but did you read the first part of my review well? I didn't say that if a movie becomes too popular, it becomes bad! Read it again! I loved Kill Bill—Kill Bill is a masterpiece! It's just that I simply hated the whole mass phenomenon that surrounded it! Kids wanting the yellow jumpsuit, millions of gadgets, relentless advertising! I saw Tarantino as a provocative, uncomfortable director, not for everyone! Kill Bill opened fan clubs around the world with 15-year-old kids signing up. I prefer a more niche Tarantino, like he was with Reservoir Dogs before the sudden cult movie transformation... but the fact remains that Kill Bill is a great film! And... yes... I’m a fucking anti-mass! But don’t call me a snob! Damn it, God, that’s better!

great review! I love how you talk!

Occult supersovereign, if your nickname refers to the occult supersovereign from the film "Howard and the Destiny of the World," you are phenomenal! I'm super excited! If I see you around, I'll treat you to a seafood dinner! Legendary!

But what violence! Is it possible that you still haven't realized the huge scam of this movie? Hostel was a marketing ploy that’s disgusting! All the expertly crafted advertising surrounding the film’s scandalous violence, with the usual provocative claims "contains graphic scenes," are just bullshit to get people to the cinema! Hostel is an American Pie type of film with very few splatter scenes that would make any true SPLATTER fan laugh with a capital "S"! This film can only appeal to deluded kids who are fooled by the fake scandal surrounding it! Has none of you ever seen a splatter movie from the 80s? Today we want to talk about the era of transgression and artistic freedom of expression... but it’s all fake! There’s more censorship today than back then! The blood scenes in Hostel suck! They’re few, and together they could only form a small introduction to a not-very-splatter film by Lucio Fulci! Shame on you, Quentin Tarantino! With your fucking "presents." Someone who grew up with real violent and splatter films is now "presenting" these ridiculous, heavily censored movies marketed as uncensored! Go fuck yourselves! The splatter is dead! Perhaps "the hills have eyes" remake and Slither... are the only ones that have shown us something again. Saw is bullshit! Fuck off!
