... so the ratings: I had no doubt that you would sooner or later deal with this character: if it's the B-movie of the 70s/80s that piques your interest in cinema, in music I see you very skilled at painting watercolors of the stereotype of the average Italy of the average Italian. And Christian could only have emerged in those years. Well done: you are climbing, step by step, a ladder that takes you deeper and deeper down. There’s just one thing I wanted to tell you: the advice I feel I can give you (if I'm worthy of dispensing it): when you feel you have the idea in hand, hold onto it, exploit it, take it forward. Once you've done that, if you don’t like the result, go back to the review format... Let me explain better: with this review I give you 5/5, but if you had explored the parallels with Iglesias, making a proportion "Iglesias:Christian = Real Madrid:Palermo = Madrid:Palermo", you would have framed the mythomania of a population (the Palermitans) so in love with themselves that they dare to make (unlikely) comparisons: Palermitans dream of becoming great, their fans have always been demanding as if their team must inevitably dominate the world (there are still those who remember the friendly match between Palermo and Ajax, which historically ended 4-0 for the rosanero)... thus they have no shame in producing their version of the melodic that captivated housewives around the world, placing their Christian di stu cazzo at Sanremo. IF YOU HAD MANAGED TO DEEPEN THIS AND FOCUS ON IT, YOU WOULD HAVE BECOME A LEGEND. Bye, the Mien_Mo_Man

Clarification: the housekeeper was not Filipino, but EGYPTIAN: it must have been the shape of the eyes (Egyptians, you know, are very much liked by women) or it could have been something else (the built-in scimitars)...

I listened to it this morning, I find it really very inspired and very, very musical... I mean, varied although not unpredictable, spot-on in perhaps all the various passages, impressive BUT NOT DARK. Of course, I hate that way of performing as a vocalist, growl or whatever it's called, and I much prefer some icy whispers...

Thank you, as a non-practicing reader of Metal Hammer (in the sense that I didn't listen to metal but read it), I can tell you that the heaviest stuff I ever enjoyed ad aeternum is God Machine, so... I liked the Dreadful Shadows back in the day: do you know them?

You have to study, no ifs or buts. The problem is that it takes two lifetimes: one to study what they teach you, another to write and share your teachings.

battlegods, thanks for the tips. I listened to the eponymous album by Saint Vitus and I really like it... and the approach is helped by the singer's vocals and the sounds that are almost seventies, psychedelic I would say sometimes, other times I don't know, I would say Sabbath-like. Now I'm off to read some reviews about them.

Eh, now I'll look for it among my comments.

I like the film in question... I believe that Batman is a character larger than him... larger than Tim Burton, not just the Burton of that time but even the Burton of now, and therefore Burton could not and cannot help but bend to inevitably fundamental dictates such as linearity, a certain superficiality in characterization, certain scenes that must necessarily unfold in that way because the bat has to enter the scene, etc.
