Then you should also find it incredible that in The Wild Bunch, the band of nihilists led by Pike Bishop, instead of going off to enjoy the money they got from Mapache with some whores, turn back and go to get killed knowing they're going to be killed to free Angel. And why a son of a bitch like Deke Thornton ultimately agrees to join the old Sikes with the Mexican peons. For me, I don't like Clint's choice for the title "Unforgiven," which is reminiscent of the beautiful film by John Huston from 1960, rendered in Italian as "Gli inesorabili."

For the record, Eric Stumpo passed away less than a month ago.

James Franco/alien doesn't exist... it's the embodiment of what they would like to do/be in real life, but they can only do it during spring break. Once alien is killed, they go back to being good girls.

Rafelson, with his RAYBERT Productions, had co-produced Easy Rider together with Peter Fonda's PANDO Company; instead, he financed this one with his new company BBS Productions.

The key character is John Wayne, when he shoots Liberty (nomen omen) he also shoots at his world, which is not the politically correct one of the lawyer, but he does it because he understands that America is changing and the Wild West is dead. In his own way, he is also a character overtaken by progress (and indeed the girl chooses the more reliable lawyer), much like Cable Hogue who gets crushed by a car in Peckinpah's film eight years later, but also like the cowboy played by Kirk Douglas in David Miller's beautiful film "Lonely Are the Brave," which is even from the same year as this masterpiece by John Ford.

The review, contrary to some of the comments, seems very personal to me. It's true that it says little about music, but this is one of those cases where talking about music is like dancing about architecture.

When I first saw "La grande bellezza" in the cinema, it struck me as a rather naive film. Scheduled on television after the Oscar with this commercial break between the first and second halves, I realized... Marchionne, Fiat, Chrysler, America: this is a clever film.

Honestly, I found the first two singles from the Dangerous (if I remember correctly) truly explosive, while I thought the albums were less impressive. As for Combat Rock, I believe that it’s not always about giving in to the god of money; many times, it’s the inspiration that gives way first.

I don't agree with the JL Pierce and Campbell relay, too different in their origins and intentions. Campbell was born in the blues while JL got close to it after being a fan of Blondie. Campbell's very life makes one think of a hobo blues who sold his soul to the devil, who comes to collect it at the set deadline. JL was a punk destined for self-destruction.
