Just saw the review of Vampyros Lesbos, um I'm new to Debaser, anyway I remember Soledad Miranda even in a small role as the hotel girl in the beautiful film by Tom Gries "El Verdugo" with a spectacular Raquel Welch (from a physical point of view of course)... Interesting how the destinies of one of the greatest directors (Welles) intertwine with one of those unfairly considered (alongside Ed Wood) among the worst (Jess Franco)…

sanjuro if you've seen Arrabal's first film, you absolutely must watch the sequel "I'll Go Like a Crazy Horse," which is closer to the spirit of El Topo due to the desert scenes and the figure of the guru.
happypippo in my opinion, Rocha's first film "Black God and White Devil," always focused on Antonio das Mortes, is superior to the sequel of the same name.

The scene where Don Quixote is a spectator in the cinema and stands up to fight against the images of battle projected on the screen, ripping apart the canvas, is stunning. As is Akim Tamiroff's performance. Let's take into account that the editing here was entrusted to Jess Franco, the director of trash films with a sexy-horror twist (remember Vampiros Lesbos?). There is other material, at least in the hands of three different editors, including the Italian editor Bonanni. Magical Welles.

Tell me something, Happypippo, if you had had the chance as a boy to travel with your rich professional dad's cheques ("we only use cheques and every cheque is like..." from Miseria e nobiltà), would you have lounged in the suite of the Ritz hotel or on the street with the craziest animal in the world?

Blake Edwards La Pantera Rosa Sfida L'Ispettore Clouseau

The Pink Panther, the animated character, was not invented by Edwards, who instead commissioned animated opening titles from the duo Depatie-Freleng, who produced cartoons for WB. In my opinion, this is the best film in the series after the first one in '63.
Mr. Poletti dismisses Blake Edwards as a clever director; perhaps he has never seen S.O.B. (the Billy Wilder of the '80s), nor "The Days of Wine and Roses" (from which the Dream Syndicate took the title of a great album), nor "Victor/Victoria" (still Wilder). I would also include Skin Deep; if only there were more directors like such "clever" ones...

@happypippo it's clear that you were fighting with the punkabbestia... maybe those ones have understood that the only hope for Merrick is to be a good, well-meaning bourgeois... from a trained monkey of the diversity circus to a trained monkey of the system... in essence, what changes?

The producer was Mel Brooks! The stunning black and white was by Freddie Francis, director of horror films for the English production company Hammer in the 60s (his "The Curse of Frankenstein" kept me glued every time it aired on TV when I was little)... for me, one of Lynch's least personal films.

it is beautiful and at the same time ugly, parodic and at the same time takes itself too seriously, it is rich but also poor, in its EXTRAvaganza it is a masterpiece....

Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan Live @ Queen Elizabeth Hall, 25.07.07

Lanegan is among my favorites, but I've never been able to stand Belle & Sebastian. I feel like Virgil (Woody Allen) in "Take the Money and Run," sexually confused by the discrepancy between the horizontal movement of playing the cello and the vertical handle/phallus symbol of the instrument itself.

I have a feeling that one day you’ll end up like the old man thrown off the train long before you even get old... We long for the past because we don’t remember how crappy those things were too, for example this EP by Descendents... better something by ALL with Scott Reynolds that doesn’t make you nostalgic for Milo.
