But what a terrible cover. I already have several things by Roach, and at times it's quite good. This one I'm missing.

Mmm, now I will make a very boring and quite pretentious comment. You have repeated the word "funny" so many times that it feels like a Vanzina movie. Moreover, CB has always detested “funny” as I understand you meant it, that is, the silly, what makes you laugh. Instead, it was more about "divèrtere," that is, stepping out of the usual path, doing something else, the Other, ultimately. He has always considered funny to be vulgar. He preferred the comic, which has nothing to do with laughter, but is something immediate and icy. Perhaps this is how you can see the scene of self-crucifixion, but not as a comic scene. On the contrary, it evokes a terrible anguish in me. But these are points of view. It must be said that all of Bene’s films should be watched bearing in mind his hatred for cinema, the traditional cinema, the one he called "plebiscite against good taste," quoting Nietzsche regarding theater. He detested cinema because he saw it as a poorly executed mishmash of many other things (literature, music, etc.) that could never truly be one or the other, and he also hated it for its frequent immersion in social issues. Moreover, he considered the image itself vulgar, and thus Salomè appears as an attempt to destroy the image, through improbable colors, frantic and hallucinatory editing, and blinding whites. By destroying the image, he removes the vulgarity from his cinema, elevating sound and voices, making cinema "the dark place where anyone can surrender and have their visions." Then there’s the whole theory about self-filming cinema, but okay, I realize I've already said quite enough. For heaven's sake, good job for bringing it up, a little less so for some of the things you said. Finally, CB is being re-released on DVD.

Sure, here’s the translation:
Sure, what processing and processing. This review is typically Debaser, and that’s just fine! :) The proposal is also interesting, especially because it’s in EP, and I really enjoy EPs mucho mucho.

I wanted to recommend it too, but I was afraid of sounding cliché.

Well done, Greg. About Fenoglio, there's "La terra, la guerra, una questione privata" by CSI, which I find amazing. It has also been recently reissued on CD+DVD. Highly recommended.

A tasty proposal like a cherry crunchy, but I found the review a bit too weighed down by the second-by-second description of each track, which is unnecessary for those who already know the album and communicates nothing to those who don’t. You also reminded me that I need to get the Japrocksampler.

We need smart people, come on, send them over.

Here! Damn, start complaining again, because it’s really a dull atmosphere here.
