It's far from my tastes, but what I've heard and this review is really tempting me. I'll take another look.

But are we sure that Paul Bayley didn't sing in Phantom of the Opera???

The dark "force" of debaser is precisely this, oh esteemed dears. One can write pathetically in search of a copious downpour of 5, but I brutally use debaser mainly to broaden my knowledge. Over these 4 years, I have seen, read, and felt a ton of books/movies/CDs, and all of this thanks to your comments and suggestions.

:))) So I will look for "Educazione di una canaglia." Alex's Mattonella might be a bit excessive for Little Boy Blue, but I was indeed hoping for something better.

I wasn't given any titles, just authors, so I stayed away from the masterpieces ("American Pastoral" and "Dog Eat Dog") and chose the ones that inspired me most. Right now, I'm reading "Little Boy Blue" by Bunker, which is pretty tough but maybe a bit repetitive, though I still have to finish and digest it. As for Roth, I opted for "Deception." I believe it's a definitely minor work and a bit outdated. Let's see... Auster, I've never even heard of. I'll look into it.

I had already read McGrath's Madness, and the memory is a bit faded apart from the story. I should re-read it. Back then, I liked it so much that I went to see the film adaptation 4/5 years ago in delightful company... 3 people in the theater :))) I’ll definitely note down Bolaño. I’m like a trash can, and I’m calmly reading everything you throw at me. Right now, I’m digging into Philip Roth and Bunker on the advice of who knows who... haloa. Thanks, aries, and you funny fools, read this book by Saramago, which is disgustingly relevant and powerful :D.

I agree, Bartolo, I might just give you a green thumb up. That ending left me speechless too, and I really liked it a lot. Since there's no one around, I'll drift a bit... In the end, I read "Quando Teresa si arrabbiò con Dio". I struggled at the beginning, but overall, I was satisfied, even though it's a writing style that doesn’t quite suit my tastes. So far, and I’m not just buttering you up, aside from Leonard who hasn’t really said much to me, you really have recommended some excellent writers. Thank you very much.

It seems like you've taken a handful of words from a dictionary, bought some punctuation at the supermarket, and hurriedly vomited it all out. However, I don't know Benni...

I haven't seen it, but just like that, without knowing how to read or write, and having as my only reference the poster and the phrase "yesterday it was for honor, today it is for justice," I believe that the understated "Green Zone" is much better as it is less flashy and more critical.

Saw it yesterday. The initial spark is truly exceptional. I really liked the film because it's diverse, able to alternate hilarious moments (not just chuckles, but full-on roars of laughter!) with deep and intense reflective moments. I love its direction, the dialogues, the irreverent sarcasm, the cinematography, the soundtrack, and that ending, so abrupt and clear-cut. Damn, this is cinema! And if the Vatican and Merighetti, who really annoy me, are boycotting/snubbing it; well, that's a great reason to bump it from 4 to 5 stars and recommend it to everyone.
