Great Mien. Are we sure the record is a five? I’m still stuck on "Fishernam..."...

I actually liked it, but I liked Grant's review much more.

Liliana Cavani Il Portiere Di Notte

For me, this film is unbearable, like much of Cavani's cinema, excluding the Franceschi. Always full of morbidity and voyeurism without grace. Fourth-rate intellectualism without any rigor. With that theory "we are all cheap meat that can be bought at a low price" that makes me a bit nauseous. Above all, finally, it is totally devoid of what Godard defined as the moral gaze of the camera. Not even remotely comparable to the subversive power, even erotic, but above all sociological, of "Last Tango" and to another film about Nazism from those years, namely the splendid "Mr. Klein" by Losey. The review, however, is very good.

Well... I don't understand the controversy about Lexus. To me, the review seems excellent. It’s not a duplicate; it gives the right score to the album, conveys what's inside it, and the author's feelings, and grammatically there are no errors. What more could you want?

@Alessio: lately we've been having a great time :-). The only regret is that Betta is always at Controcampo instead of spending the evenings with me :-)

Well... I've always thought that the mainstay was Facchinetti :-). Hey Fusillone, todo bien? But do you listen to Fugazi or do they give you hives?

Disagreement: no, neither Tool nor Shellac nor Jesus Lizard. Not to mention the Italians. Lally/Canty gave the impression that they could play anything. Like a juke box: you put in a hundred lire and they would play surf or psychobilly flawlessly.

Well! I listen to them very willingly, but they are frighteningly derivative. Every piece reminds me of something I've already heard. Besides the bands you mentioned, I also think of Loop, Slowdive, Ride, and B.R.M.C. (they're contemporaries, but sometimes identical).

I was really only talking about the last twenty years. Also because, sorry for the low-cost sociology, but the difference in the way rhythm has been played in the last twenty years is totally different compared to the '60s and '70s. Absolutely, I also think of Entwistle/Moon (without even considering the classics, just try putting on The Real Me from Quadrophenia). And I wouldn't underestimate Mitchell/Redding and Ginger/Bruce either.

@Kosmogabri: Thanks, I never wanna make you cry:-) @ Occulto: it seems to me that no one has compared Clash and Fugazi in terms of "importance." The comparisons lie on different levels: the debts to reggae, the inconclusiveness of the projects following their breakup, and, a topic I would have liked to open a debate on, if punk died when the Clash signed with CBS, Fugazi have partially realized one of the cornerstones of punk philosophy, namely "do it yourself." Regarding the greatness of the rhythm section, in fact, the one from Primus is also amazing.
