@Tomgil, is the "Sphere" you're talking about the one that was also made into a movie? (with Dustin Hoffman, if I remember correctly?) ...the movie had me hooked too..

after all, it is this way... it really is this way... they can also be a pain in the ass... but it is this way..!

I also have my memories, silly perhaps, but I have them too connected to this album. beautiful review... really beautiful..

@Vincent Valentine: well, to tell you the truth, it did catch my attention.. but maybe yes, you're right, and indeed the various phases of the battle are described a bit hastily (and it will remain the only one of this kind in Lovecraftian literature).. it’s definitely a bit unusual... but it still managed to grab me (maybe because I also love heroic fantasy like Robert E. Howard).. @Pi-Airot: ...um sorry for only replying now!! regarding your hypothesis.. I really hadn't thought about it!! well, it could definitely be!! yes yes..!

... try to go write this nonsense in glowing reviews like that of "Ulysses" by Joyce by Girasole or on that of "Jurassic Park" by Tomgil, because they delved deep, because they dug and stuffed in all possible references, to guide the reader, annoying person that you are, to see ...

R.I.P.

5 and that's it!!

...and then take a look at your own reviews, like that one about Pearl Jam, edgy...

@Ashanti: don't worry, I didn’t take it as a compliment; I was just saying that if my review is written in an "ancient Greek literature style," it MAY, you know, be due to the fact that it SEEMS to deal with a work of Greek literature, namely "Storia Vera," and if it had been a book by Claudi Bisio, maybe I would have written a bunch of nonsense, but since it's a slightly more serious topic, I thought it was necessary to focus on significant details of the contextual references... arrogant, not at all; if I know useful information and feel like writing it down, I don’t see why I shouldn’t. The addition of the city to the writers' names isn't for beauty, but because in ancient times, people identified themselves by: name, patronymic, and place of origin. The mishmash isn’t my review, but the work itself, with its continuous references to everything that Greek literature had produced up to that point... but if you haven’t read the book, what the hell am I explaining to you for? Yours aren’t constructive criticisms; you don’t say a damn thing, you don’t tell me "in my opinion, you should do this," "write in such a way," "you should have talked more about this and less about that," you only know how to spit shit because for some obscure reason, which I don’t even want to know, you can’t stand me... so before you speak and attack for no reason, you could just shut up and instead of making pointless controversies, you could take your complexes, your aggressiveness, and your ass outside for a nice walk with your dog, now your only friend, you old maid!!

uhm!! thanks to everyone: @The green Manalishi: fully agree, but I still remember the first day I read it: I went on talking about it for days, it was the definitive concretization of everything I wanted to know about a universe I had already adored in previous "dreamlike" stories... I devoured it, and I reread the ending 4-5 times that same day!! @Hell: yes, it's a mess, especially if you're in school/university.. this summer I could read very little since I was working and when I got home, the sofa was my only desire! @Ardalo: yes, there are also cats on the moon, one of the parts that left me most bewildered.. I found it somewhat too childish in its way.. and perhaps this was precisely Lovecraft's intent: to unify dreams, worlds, creatures, and situations that were part of his imagination during childhood in a broader and more rationally constructed context... unfortunately, in my opinion, this is one of the parts that falls the most... @Nosebleed: don’t worry, I understand... and since I see that it seems possible to discuss with you, then I will speak! :) so, as I said before and as you yourself understood, my nickname is linked to my musical passion, but I also have other passions, including Lovecraft, which, by the way, I started reading before I began listening to Heavy Metal.. then you say that the two contexts are related: I can tell you that certainly many of those who listen to Metal probably know and love Lovecraft, and it's true that there are many songs/albums/bands inspired by the dreamer from Providence, but it is equally true in my opinion that there are also people who love Lovecraft who have nothing to do with this music and are far from the image of spikes, alcohol, and inverted crosses... then obviously, opinions are opinions... no, what had me upset was your statement that my nickname cast a veil of idiocy over everything, a phrase that, besides making me upset, also left me bewildered on another point: what if I had named myself with a funny nickname like Cicciobomba-Cannoniere-Con-La-Merda -Nel-Bicchiere, which has nothing to do with Metal, and that various users have (no, not this, but other funny nicknames! :D ) would that have been better than the idiocy that was projected onto the review's text? in the end, a nickname is just a nickname, mine emphasizes that aspect (however very important) of my personality, then.. this was ultimately what was swirling in my mind when I read your comment...
