The reviewer may overlook that it is precisely the comic hyperbole of the second part that has made it a cult classic. It certainly wouldn't have been if it had continued along the stereotypical lines of the first, of which the film world is filled with plenty, and even better.

@earphone ... you forget "Green Berets" from 1968 with John Wayne killing untrustworthy Viet Cong like flies :D Anyway, I understand and agree that Oliver Stone might get on your nerves, but he's the only director of a Vietnam film who actually fought in that war, and it shows. It’s not like he gets everything right here, starting with that goofy face of Charlie Sheen, but it's a great movie.

@aliensoundtrack the opposite happens to me, several bands remind me of the Urinals ....

eh... but there should be a review of some album by the pickaxe that smashed Trotsky's skull, maybe Baby, with that stunning cover and tracks like the mockery of the sappy Barry Manilow ("Bury Manilow") and the anti-consumer anthem "Don't Buy It." Matarè-Apicella? hahahah come on, poor Vitus

@ilfreddo allow me to once again disagree with the "clarification" you provide in comment 23. "If, in real life, I met a guy in a bathrobe, flip-flops, and boxers writing a check to buy a carton of milk at the supermarket, I don’t know about you, but damn, I would feel (in my personal and debatable opinion) pity and compassion." With that statement, I wanted to say that the Coen brothers have done a great job making us laugh by putting a difficult category like misfits under their cynical spotlight. You fall (in my opinion, mind you) into the trap of demonstrating that you haven't grasped the spirit of the film. This is a film for those who, when they find themselves (in real life) in the situation you describe, feel fascination rather than pity for a guy in a bathrobe and flip-flops going to buy milk at the supermarket.

Right, but nothing prevents us from using it in the interesting sense intended by Jack Daniel's. It's a shame about Steve Bell's cartoons, but I think the Clash would have agreed...especially Topper Headon :)

Of course, the triple vinyl includes the 3-page fold-out insert in LP format!

Why, is it also present in the reprints? The cartoons (and the comic of Ivan meets G.I. Joe) by Steve Bell are legendary.

"Those who cannot (or do not want to) adapt to a society are marginalized"...I think you made a mistake by getting tied up with this movie, my friend ilfreddo.

Let's not joke around... Tarantino's masterpiece is Pulp Fiction; after that, he directed four more circus-like films. I'm not retiring, I'm not bitter, but maybe I'm out of touch, so I say that Tarantino is so intent on showing us how much of a film buff he is (he cites "Le Corbeau" by Clouzot, Pabst, Schrader, our Margheritis and Castellaris, etc.) that he must be the one who did the acid. If we’re bargaining, I prefer what’s at the end of the great and ironic "Kelly's Heroes" (1970), where giants like Clint Eastwood and Donald Sutherland dominated, not that bloated Brad Pitt. The best part of the film is the tension of the opening scene, but the most wonderful part is the striking resemblance of SS Colonel Christoph Waltz (great performance) to the guy who makes the famous raspberry and says "…and wipe your ass!" in Totò's films... Two peas in a pod; see it to believe it: or
