The Flaming Lips The Soft Bulletin

15 apr 08

Voto:

Very particular review: I've always wondered what the Flaming Lips have to do with the Midwest (they, from Oklahoma, make music that doesn't quite adhere to American roots) and today, finally, you give me a key to understanding. Well done (even though I appreciate "Yoshimi..." more among their latest albums).

Naomi Campbell Babywoman

14 apr 08

Voto:

First of all, I would like to state a truth that many have kept silent about: Naomi is a lowlife, she's ugly, plastic, and does not represent the ideal of a beautiful and coloured woman in any way. In this regard, I am far better: 1) Zeudy Araya; 2) Tyra Banks; 3) Sidney Poitier's daughter (the one from Death Proof, to be clear). Having cleared that up with this necessary premise, Naomi's pop is objectively trivial; you should have spent more time contextualizing the idea of the music producers who gave her this opportunity. I agree with those who say the cover is of rare vulgarity, also because it doesn’t just allude to vulgarity (e.g. Squallor) but represents it in all its filth.

Alan J. Pakula Perchè un assassinio (The Parallax View)

Voto:

Never seen, however Pakula is a director often regarded, and wrongly so, as a mere craftsman, while in his career he skillfully addressed all aspects of the noir genre.

Al Bano e Romina Power I grandi successi

@marco83: radio?!? And who has the time... and of course, the skills. @Muito: thank you for the appreciation and the defense of the office. It's right that this page fades into oblivion, trust me. Also because I already have something else brewing in my mind. It's not like Al Bano and Romina are the omega of the music - and cinema - that I deal with for and with you... on the contrary!

Sorry Pibroch, I got mixed up with someone else from the site in my rush. Well, say hi to Milàn for me!

Thank you for the insights about the Russians. On certain matters, I'm definitely ignorant... Mien's post, however, is enlightening in contextualizing Romina's evolution. Anyway, these are satisfactions: from Albano, to Borges, to Russian writers. Only Debaser allows for this. This is true Kultura. Semper Vestri, Il_Paolo

@Bonaz91: to Il_Paolo I can't say a COUPLE of things.... 1),2),3). Al Bano might not know what music is, you certainly don't know what logic is. In any case, thank you for the critiques, I will take them into account.

No Roger Waters = No Pink Floyd.

@muito:Borges has an immense quality that many lack: short writings, but rich in meaning. In this respect, almost all Russian writers (except Chekhov, who coincidentally was born on my birthday) are a hammer where you can imagine. Next to Borges, I adore Cortázar: for example, "All Fires the Fire." It's a pity that books can't be reviewed on Debaser. Although, like Il_Paolo, I should tell you about the latest literary effort by Chicco Sfondrini.
