For the reviewer: check your nickname carefully - CF, I think there's a mistake.
Michael Patrick King Sex and the City
Voto:
A spin-off is on the way, dedicated to the world of jazz: "Sax and the City". The latest attempts at spin-offs dedicated to the legal world "Lex and the City", the world of cowboys "Tex and the City", the plight of Mexican refugees "Mex and the City", the police dogs "Rex and the City", the old technologies "Fax and the City", and the new technologies "Next and the City" have all been rejected. Rather than a celery with one of the protagonists of this series, a thousand times better is an apple pie at Jessica Fletcher's house!
Andy Summers & John Etheridge Invisible Threads

Beautiful as ever: Summers is the greatest user of delay I know, the mastermind behind the cool reggae of the Police that has deeply influenced my adolescence and youth. I join the debate about the greatest psychologists of all time, asking you not to forget Alessandra Graziottin. SV, Il_Paolo
Tom Shadyac Ace Ventura
Voto:
A very likable and capable actor, he leans more towards the absurd and slapstick (like Wile E. Coyote) than traditional comedy (like Jerry Lewis). And for this, he should be judged. As a serious actor, he has shown impressive performances (Truman, Man on the Moon, etc.), unjustly underrated by the Hollywood machine. The essence of it all is in "A Series of Unfortunate Events."

Great review, as usual: a simple and straightforward style with the addition of very sharp comments on the album covers. I only have an anthology of Toto; I must have been a bit harsh on them in some other comment, but the fact that so many people – in here – appreciate them, and that those many enjoy my esteem and sympathy... well, it forces me to give Toto another listen. Fun fact: Steve Lukater played with Ricky Gianco in "E' rock 'n'roll" [1991].

Morgan, I’ll tell you for Poletti: mdp is the “camera,” usually referred to that way in the cinema books that our friend devours and draws inspiration from. Bye

Poletti, I know Japanese cinema, what do you think! Here’s a fitting link: Orientally Yours, Il_Paolo

Great in synthesis.
Tom Zé Danç-Êh-Sá - Dança Dos Herdeiros Do Sacrifício
Voto:
Not to mention the popopopo of the White Stripes, which we have elevated to a new anthem of Mameli, a symbol of our most successful military campaigns since the crossing of the Rubicon by Julius Caesar (and indeed, in 2006 ours were paraded in triumph like the ancient Romans...). Ah, the eternal Romanity that stretches from Julius Caesar to Buffon, passing through the man from Predappio...

My compliments Muito: beyond the skill with which you describe Zè's music - a very interesting proposal that I will need to explore further - I was struck by the intuition you express in the first sentence of your writing, namely the relationship between music and war. This discussion might need to be expanded, capturing the indissoluble connection that exists - I believe at a biological level (overproduction of alpha waves) - between music with a strongly rhythmic percussive character (from hard rock to hip hop, including techno) and the increase of adrenaline in the listener, from Saturday night battlefields to stages where certain young people mosh, to actual battlefields. In this regard, it's interesting to recall how the hit for American soldiers in the first Gulf War was "Another One Bites The Dust" by Queen: was it for the lyrics - alluding to someone who ends up in the dust (= dies in the desert), or for the fact that it amplifies the rhythm?
