It’s clear that occulto is a kid who doesn’t know Bogdanovich, who was a great director in the 70s—Last Picture Show, Paper Moon, Saint Jack. Old America, But Daddy Sends You Alone?—and he certainly doesn’t need commercial speculation, especially since he is a deep connoisseur and writer on cinema. It’s evident that after the 70s he experienced a decline, but he will never be a vulture.

The "brothers" Ramone made a splash with their first album, this one is already less memorable and perhaps even less so than Rocket to Russia.

Come on, I called you that because if you hadn't noticed, it's your nickname backwards! I don't see myself in the reality of "Operazione san Gennaro" with Nino Manfredi either, but that was a beautiful film! Comedies are like that, built on stereotypes, and they can turn out to be good or bad regardless of them.

Why so much hate, Satan? All of us from the south could complain about how films portray our cities and our people, but that's part of the game, and if the game works, you can even slap on a nice five (today I feel so blackdog, is that serious?). Clearly, this isn't the case for this comedy that parodies the dualism between the braggart personality like Gassman/Bruno and the shy one like Trintignant/Roberto. But in Piva's defense, I must say he made a fantastic first film, "La capa gira," with limited resources and legendary "actors" taken from the streets. A "noir" from Puglia that will leave you in stitches because of the characters.

They may have a billion publications to their name, but keep in mind that they have been around since 1983 and played for fun, not to make money. In fact, they only produced cassettes that were sold at the festivals they participated in, and it was not until '89 that they released their first album, Pungent Effulgent, which I consider the best; every track is a journey. Great rhythms, great use of the synth, and a fantastic guitarist, Ed Wynn. If David Allen ever wanted to come back on board the flying teapot, he should take the Ozrics as his crew. And that’s a big compliment.

And why do you want to stay silent? The movie is like those of Totò, I've watched it a million times because there’s always something to grasp and enjoy that you missed the first time. A genius, it's hilarious when he quotes "Nick mano fredda" in the penal colony.

They are two different albums, but both are masterpieces, and hearing Miami referred to as a flop is really unfortunate. Here, JLP's voice reaches terrifying expressive levels, like in no other Gun Club record and like very few other singers. I agree with alias's comment, albeit a year and a half late.

"...Miami makes you yawn, it's too blurry, poorly recorded, it meanders freely "bah pretazzo what can I say, your analysis leaves me moooooolto perplexed. I remember an interview with JLP where he said that the first, Fire of Love, was played too fast for their intentions; they went into the studio too nervous and didn't like the result, but they didn't have the money to redo everything from scratch and they sounded like the punk version of Robert Johnson. Instead, Miami has always sounded to him like it should have, just like the other one. After all, in Miami, the key word isn't blues, but country. For me, it's the most beautiful album by The Gun Club.

But I don't believe that Vortex didn't know about this connection; ever since the group has existed, their political interests have always been discussed. Rather, I think they might disown it, just as it seems Gill and Allen have done in recent interviews that appear to downplay the political aspect of the name and attitude.

@melissa so you need to watch Mandingo, a film by Richard Fleischer from 1975 featuring the former black boxer Ken Norton, a powerful stallion on the plantations of Louisiana...
