Good job, come on! And don't give up.

"It's somewhat of a limitation of all Italian bands (not just HC) to be overshadowed by the Anglo-American scene [...] the hardcore punk scene of that time, of which the Italian one is just a faded copy, often fanatical and also lacking spontaneity, in bad taste." Let's not talk nonsense! Discussing an album like this means piecing together the fragments of "Blu Bus," alongside "Cramps," the only music label in Italy with guts! It means searching for those names, those characters who tried to gather as many experiences as possible and coalesce them into a countercurrent path. There's nothing faded about it: these are emotions, angry music not performed to play an hedonistic role, but to find themselves on the side of a barricade that no longer exists. All of this in the '80s, in our '80s! Without copyright, self-produced and concerts for few, in basements or social centers. Would you dare tell me that these people aren't sincere? People who, after 25 years, still think the same way, perhaps playing differently, but with the same feelings as back then. Maybe you deserve this present, like people such as Gianpiero Capra or Stefano Giaccone. The review did not convince me at all.

Libra and Marisa Allasio (my favorite from Fiumani) are more than enough.

5 fixed. Fiumani as it should be, him and nothing else. Guitars, guitars, guitars. And his poems. There’s no woman who wouldn't want him after hearing him on this record.

"The Fuhrer had human sides because HE was human, whether we like it or not; removing his humanity is too convenient a way to detach him from all of us." One might say "amen," walk away, and vote, but it shouldn’t be that easy. We need to ask ourselves: is such a film possible in Italy? The answer is, unfortunately, no. The only attempt was made, at least regarding the fall of the regime, with Lizzani's "Mussolini ultimo atto." A film that is 35 years old and, in my opinion, not even particularly well done. "Der Untergang," on the other hand, also reflects the German approach towards Nazism, especially from a cultural standpoint. In Italy, however, there is a lack of films that offer hard-hitting and thought-provoking portrayals of fascism and especially Mussolini, with "Il Delitto Matteotti" being the only significant exception. We have often been able to take the past and bring it to the cinema, but some topics remain decidedly taboo, and the fact that one of these is fascism, across all possible cultural spaces, is seriously troubling for Italy.

Is it possible that only I and the Admin have seen it? What a shame. It’s a very beautiful film, challenging in its theme but handled with great sensitivity. The lead actress is superb and the choice of soundtrack is excellent. Almost a masterpiece.

I would like to highlight these two words about these films: Michael Cera. Truly talented as an actor (well, I also have a soft spot for Fincher, but that's another story).

"It's certainly not a phrase that discredits them," it's a bit ambiguous, you know? Anyway, the fact that you adore them earns you points.

"the baroque screw-up of Diablo Swing Orchestra" if it weren't for this sentence that deserves a firing squad (forgive me but I adore them to madness and it makes my blood boil) I would thank you for the tip (but I thank you anyway) and for the review. Have a good evening.

When we talk about the Harry Potter saga, we often forget a fundamental aspect: it is still a fairy tale, and within that context, we must consider it. The beauty lies in the fact that Ms. Rowling has managed to bring back the leitmotif of the fairy tale into what was once defined as a "bildungsroman," the coming-of-age novel. She succeeded because, at heart, it contains all those things that still fascinate us as adults, like magic. The books, in any case, adjust to the age of the protagonists, and I don’t see that as a scandal; the characters also change, while still maintaining some basic peculiarities. One of the most interesting judgments about Harry Potter was the comparison with Bart Simpson; on reflection, they have had a similar impact. They represented a lot, and perhaps it's no coincidence that the true explosion of the Harry Potter phenomenon began with the fading of the Simpsons as a figure of imagery. The films don't interest me; they're just base commercial speculation. One last thing: of course, it's good that children and teenagers read, but Rowling alone is not enough. I say this as a part-time librarian; it's important that they continue to read, perhaps starting with sagas and stories similar to those of Harry Potter but less well-known.
