@poletti: sorry.... but thanks to hell that the documentary genre with Flaherty and Dziga Vertov has achieved better results than this........ we didn't need you to remind us.

if the purpose of our future existence is to provide answers to Corgan's problems, it’s better to pull the plug.

Gillespie writes Kill all hippies as well as an album titled Vanishing Point, which is a film by Richard Sarafian (reviewed by me) that is the apotheosis of the hippie, the different, the outcast, the double zero of society... and you all fall for it like fools...

John Huston always had a small role in his films, do you remember him in "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre"? He’s the tourist who gives the dollar to Bogart more than once... In other films, I remember him as the captain in the beautiful "White Man Goes with His God" by Richard Sarafian. (advertising note: I reviewed Punto Zero)

But what did you want, for the little film to have the curculio with a cigarette at the corners of its mouth whispering to the dung beetle-pianist "...play it again, Sam"? It's a documentary about micro-nature, done really well; the storm scene makes it clear how in that world there is a tsunami every day.

Damn, Bubi, you mentioned Mink de Ville! Let me tell you what he represented from a sociological perspective! A few weeks ago at the Liri Blues Festival, old Willy kept the audience in suspense for over two hours with the best songs ever, including a "Soul Twist" requested by yours truly, and even the guys at the draft beer stand were in ecstasy by the end of the concert. Many of those who were there by chance (it was free) couldn't help but notice the difference with the fourth-tier clowns from our place... that’s what Willy de Ville means from a sociological standpoint... hit one to educate a hundred.

It was Captain Jacobi who gives Sam Spade the falcon statuette. I would entrust the remake of the grand and forgotten "Fat City" to Clint Eastwood.

Walsh's "Strada maestra" with Bogey and George Raft is also remarkable to me... Want a tip on a recent noir full of losers? "Cosa fare a Denver quando sei morto," the first by Gary Fleder.

The moral of Huston is uncomfortable for the younger generation...they all want to become kings without realizing that, as in all the films of the great old master, those who desire too much end up with nothing.
And then, that Huston is underrated is demonstrated by the fact that on a scale of values from 1 to 10, Poletti gives a 10 to "A Bullet for Roy" and 9.5 to "Asphalt Jungle," which, in my opinion, remains the archetype of films focused NOT on the big score but on the psychology of the characters (losers and not winners like in Ocean's Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen as the younger ones would like).
