supersoul

"I don’t like the word tolerance, it’s a racist word that clashes with the concept of equality" from Il vento fa il suo giro, a splendid film by Giorgio Diritti, Italy 2005.

I've always thought there is something extraordinary that connects "Five Easy Pieces" by Rafelson with Antonioni's film made three years later, and it’s not just the common protagonist, Jack Nicholson. Rafelson's film ends with the protagonist dissatisfied with his life leaving the girl and the documents at a gas station to hitch a ride on a truck headed for Alaska without even a jacket, heading towards annihilation. In Antonioni's film, he is more naïve; he takes someone else's documents and only later realizes that he can change his social status (like a Pirandellian character) but not his existential one, and so he annihilates himself twice: first like Locke when he changes the documents, and the second time like Robertson when he allows himself to be reached by the killers. For me, the best film by Antonioni.

Hey, so are you in or out? I said that kid is a Beatles fan and not a Stones fan; I’ll never understand how that’s possible :D

Well, Bartle, I think that kids today think about sex a lot less than they used to. Just yesterday, I had my friend’s 15-year-old son read that Lennon review, and he was so impressed that he sent the link with the translation of the phrase "Onore all'assassino di John Lennon. Ci ha liberati da un criminale e da tanta altra musica socialisteggiante e ripetitiva." to an English Beatles fan site he’s a member of... That kid has too much time on his hands, with all the girls around... and being a Beatles fan, I mean, if it were the Rolling Stones, I’d get it! But he did say something that made me think: if someone sent a review of Richard Attenborough's film on Gandhi saying "Onore all'assassino di Gandhi, ci ha liberati da un criminale socialisteggiante che predica la disobbedienza civile," would they publish it or not? And if they don’t publish it, the author could always ask, “Why is the one about Lennon still visible while mine isn’t?” I couldn’t give him an answer.

Damn eneathedevil, you're thick-headed, I'm asking for what I said in the first post of that review, for it to be deleted from the debaser database, I thought I was clear. Those who manage this site have every right to keep it nicely displayed just as I have the right to go fuck myself as long as that nonsense is visible by clicking John Lennon.

the review makes your blood boil, not the disclaimer

@bartle you are the last (so far) to whom I would send insults, to err is human but the editorial choice became clear the moment the disclaimer was added and it was not retracted. Reread it and see if it doesn't make your blood boil.

no enea seitu that you really didn't understand, I don't have a problem with the site's managers, I have one with these times... I didn't make a mistake in my insult; I quote Sciascia: "I have a certain practice of the world; and that which we call humanity, and we fill our mouths with the word humanity, a beautiful word full of wind, I divide into five categories: men, half-men, little men, (with all due respect) leeches, and quacks... Very few are men; the half-men are few, for I would be content if humanity stopped at half-men... And instead no, it goes even further down, to little men: who are like children who think they're grown-ups, monkeys imitating the moves of adults... And even further down: leeches, who are becoming an army... And finally the quacks: who should live like ducks in puddles, for their lives have no more meaning and no more expression than that of ducks..."

@fidia: And who told you that I don't like the site and that I don't like writing reviews? Especially since I'm an old fool! I just wanted to make my exit with a "testament" that conveys all my bitterness for something beautiful that is often ruined by the biggest idiots who have now blown it up. And who better than NettaDebaser could write it?

if your bundle is burning it's not my fault...
