I've read good things about this album from old John; I absolutely have to listen to it. This is a special man, a "seminal" figure even today for bands in the USA, just listen to Howlin Rain, a side project of the noise-makers Comets on Fire. Unfortunately, here in Italy he is underrated or even treated with indifference.

In short, we will die with the curiosity of knowing why Jodorowsky's hypnosis of actors was not possible. I don't understand why there's such insistence on comparing him to Herzog, who, far from being "just" a director, has also been a newsboy, a fishmonger, and a brewer at Oktober Fest.

OK guys, I didn't mean to compare Herzog (great!) and Jodorowsky, I was just wondering about that "obviously" which I interpreted as referring to the technical impossibility, rather than the capability.

A hipster might not even like rap, but tracks like "My uzi weights a ton" or "Sophisticated bitch" are fire. Flavor Flav went from Public Enemy to being a clown on reality shows like "The Farm." Let the world end in 80 days.

Sorry, why do you say that "obviously" the actors couldn't be hypnotized? Werner Herzog did it in the film "Heart of Glass," I believe in 1975, with non-professional actors. I would be curious to know why, on the other hand, it didn't work for the shaman Jodorowsky.

Totally disagreeing with Poletti, according to his view we might as well flush Nabokov's novel down the toilet. The fact remains that Kubrick's film is a film about an "obsession" and not about the object of that obsession. And nowadays, isn’t it this obsession that sells newspapers and boosts the ratings of news programs? Now I bid you farewell and leave this passionate discussion because tomorrow I have a cycling race and hundreds of kilometers await me to reach the venue.

Poletti must be troubled by the fear of getting old; notice that in his comments on movie reviews he puts the question of whether the film has aged or not at the forefront. It's a way of thinking that I honestly find quite foolish. The value of a film is not measured by its relevance or lack thereof in 2007.
