Gabriele Muccino Sette anime

There is very little out there more bleak than the Will Smith-Muccino tandem. Rosario Dawson's breasts aren't enough to save this disgrace.

The (the) movie - a woman forced me to watch it - I didn't really like. The trilogy, on the other hand, I read many, many years ago. I wasn't even fifteen then, but I have good memories of it. As for point 9, you forgot to mention the sacredness of the purging ritual, since every evening the young "hobbits" attending those camps used to commemorate their deities and their great leaders of the past by taking large doses of laxatives.

It's not that bad, Ostia, little rascals. However, the Zu (who, of course, are good at what they do) have never convinced me, despite having seen them live several times and listened to their records. I grant them one more opportunity.

fishman, is being indignant the national sport? If by "sport" you mean something related to "minor" arts (as they say), since our country expresses outrage at a (professional) comedian who swears on TV or a football player who headbutts another, I'll agree with you. But I wouldn't say that our fellow citizens feel indignation towards a good part of the real obscenities that we endure or that are imposed on us daily. Anyway, you certainly didn't have to apologize. No problem!

I should give them another listen, the Tin Machine, since I really don’t remember this album at all. And that’s not a good sign, both for my mental clarity and for the work’s content, probably negligible. Of course, even the good old David has made some missteps, but I only partially agree with those who say that Bowie artistically died after Berlin, as he brought out a few albums from the mid-'90s that, if not innovative, are at least worth noting, such as the various hours..., Reality, and, indeed, the more than interesting 1.Outside. As for the ratings, we’ll reconvene when I have the patience to dust off the Tin Machine.

I didn't like this movie. I also know the director from Fight Club, but I care very little for that one too. I've never loved serial killers, characters that are very fitting for Hollywood cinema, which is more focused on box office than on content. The excellent "Hearts Filthy Lesson" by Bowie works well as the closing piece, while Yorke's (Radiohead) face in the infamous "box" (video for "15 Step" from the Thumbs Down webcast) fits a little less well.

Captain, I was aware of the corporate crisis and the sponsor (the free shirt replacement initiative is nice), but if West Ham doesn’t sell half their team to City (as I read somewhere), I believe they will manage just fine. I don’t know if Piacenza is still a UNICEF supporter, but certainly, today, Boca is as well. I also apologize for going off-topic, but I believe football is included in the mission of Il Paolo, so I hope he won't mind the digression.

"Work." The quotation marks are necessary.

Paolo, however, always leaves a mark. I don’t share his views, but the reference to his "mission" and Ramon Mercader certainly made me smile. I also add that it’s true that a good part of the leadership of Lotta continua today works at "Controcampo," on Mediaset networks.

fishman (sorry for the delay), I wasn’t referring to the text you quoted, but to the one that was reviewed. gbrunoro, you define the review as trivial, but all in all, while reaching different conclusions, you touch upon some of the concepts expressed by macaco. The book insists on comparing communism to Nazifascism; you have your say, but it’s inevitable that a large part of the comments focuses on this aspect of the issue. Anyway, man is fallible, but not all ideologies are the same. macaco, reducing fascism to a bit of castor oil and a few beatings is misinformation.
