Fabulous review as always (DopoLavoroFerroviario you are great), a piece of such embarrassing ugliness that it almost becomes a gem of genius.

When I played it, at first it seemed absolutely fantastic, but then gradually more and more boring... so much so that I abandoned it. Looking back on it with today's eyes, it's a very decent game, but without a true spark of genius.

Great review, excellent program and one of the best in Italy for years.

@sexyajax: oh, by the way, regarding your comment #21, know that there are HUNDREDS of paintings where the painter depicts himself in the act of painting.

@(!): no, "one of the five most extraordinary paintings ever created" was just a figure of speech, but if I really had to choose, surely "Las Meninas" would be among them; then there would definitely be "Suprematist Composition: White on White" by Malevich? (http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b48/panapp/KazimirMalevich-Composizionesuprema.jpg), probably a Raphael, maybe a Caravaggio, perhaps Botticelli or Goya or Mondrian... too complicated.

I don't have Facebook and I never will, and I'm really proud of that. Very nice review, rated EXCELLENT!!! :D

Hilarious review and unfortunately a record unknown to me!!! I MUST MAKE UP FOR IT!!! ___

sexyajax, you need to STOP talking trash about things you don’t know and/or understand. You write well, but you're an ignoramus (obviously in the strict etymological sense of the word) if you believe that this canvas is very close to the pinnacle of art. Your cockiness is costing you points: if I were to talk about a hip hop album, a genre I don’t engage with and in which I am ignorant, I would write reviews expressing what I understood from that record and NOT write an intellectual review like yours, in which you try to convince us that some of the mediocre works you present are actually fundamental to the history of art. This painting, which is quite nice and interesting, represents a sort of contemporary version of a hugely famous work by Diego Velázquez, "Las Meninas" (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a4/Velazquez-Meninas.jpg), a Spanish artist like Dalì: that is a TRUE, AUTHENTIC, and COMPLETE masterpiece (in my opinion, it’s one of the five most extraordinary paintings ever created), which contains the beauty of 8 visual planes and immense symbolic, historical, and psychological content. And you didn’t even mention it in your review, while instead you deemed it useful to recall the names of Pete Doherty (?) and Francisco Goya, who has NOTHING to do with this piece (except for their nationality with Dalì and nothing else) and was born almost a century after Velázquez. Comments #15 and #16 already pointed out to you that Dalì didn’t invent anything, but you dismissed them (foolishly). To further worsen my opinion, there’s the Shanghai effect (once I discovered the fraud, I see fraud everywhere) that you yourself have generated, so I’m not sure you haven’t copied this review from somewhere since you’ve done it on multiple occasions. Perhaps I’m the one who doesn’t understand your writing style; I admit this highly probable possibility, but what I gather from your reviews is a great love for works that aren’t great, but that you insist on promoting as such; if you want to give 5 stars again, please choose works that truly deserve them. I already know that all of this I’ve written doesn’t matter to you, and that’s fine with me, but I felt the need to do it.

@BAH: and indeed in my comment #9 I gave a rating of 2 to the reviewer instead of just 1 because there were a few correct phrases here and there. Now that I know that even that little bit of good is copied, no one can take that 1 away from him.

@BAH: ah, that's why those lines were the only decent ones in the whole review.
