long live debaser!

Beautiful page, well done, well done.

The cover isn't bad either.

Keep it up, these are pages that matter.

welcome back, we missed you. about wovenhand: am I the only one who found the latest work a bit off-putting, and not just a little?

You have all my support, popcorn would be proud of you.

Luke, I'm sorry, as soon as I can access the site from a PC and not from a mobile phone on the subway, I swear I'll read it, please forgive the wait.

you say: "I contested your defining the movie as crap just because the monster is slow." but in the seventh line of my comment, I said: "it follows is absolutely not crap, it’s just completely wrong, and ridiculous." Damn, you start off great... if you’re not a teenager, get yourself exorcised! By the way, my comment was cut by the deb, which I immediately mention in the first counter-comment, but thank god with counter-comments you can make up for it and following the intervention of the author of this page I managed to point out the central problem of the film: "I was talking about how the subtext is completely wrong when it comes to HIV or coming-of-age rituals..." and I'm not linking it all because otherwise this comment will get eaten too, if you're seriously interested you can go reread it further up (NB: it's advisable to read everything before saying random things, and I’m telling you this only if you really need an exorcism; if you’re the obvious teenager: let’s forget it since you’re too stupid to think of trying to listen to sensible advice. but seriously: if you’re not a teen, get yourself exorcised, do it for us since one lobotomized person is more than enough, and we already don’t know where to put that). So, what were we saying? oh yes, the subtext. you think it’s the best horror of the last 45 years, ribaldo says you know a lot... can you explain the subtext of this stuff? thanks, and if you want we can start talking about von sternberg murnau kurosawa and kubrick and we can try to pass them off as culture thinking we’re on the site of, like, teenage style, so I’m meeting you halfway. but first, I’d ask you to justify the fake subtext of the film. Thanks.

The pendulum of Poe is a story, not a movie (and only a teenagelobostocazzo could bring up something like that... oh well, you’re kind of endearing by now), Romero's zombies are great for subtext, certainly not for tension (ok, Night of the Living Dead was scary 50 years ago, fine... unfortunately, it’s undeniable that in 2016, the “horror” scenes make you feel sorry for them. My God, I haven't seen it in almost 20 years, but they were already sad before they brought down the Twin Towers). And indeed, from the third film onward, they aren’t even horror films anymore, but gore films where tension is disregarded, all done in the name of blood by the liter and exposed guts.
Michele Giasone, I have no idea who he is. I know Jason Voorhees, who is the protagonist of slasher films where, just like in gore, the focus of the work is blood and not fear, and Jason is definitely more splatter than gore. If you pee your pants watching Friday the 13th instead of throwing popcorn and laughing like an idiot, you’re in the wrong profession. Then there’s Michael Myers, who is the exception that proves the rule.
Regarding Count Orlok: well, only two people can bring up Murnau when talking about fear perceived by the viewer: a traumatized 3-year-old kid with a cinephile and foolish father, and someone who feels too much the need to show off that they know something, and who, due to personal deficiencies, constantly quotes every cinematic vision they have. So while one talks about perceived tension in 2016, this one responds by pulling out a masterpiece of aesthetics from ninety years ago that, as it ages, inevitably has nothing to do with tension and terror today—it’s completely irrelevant.
And this is another thing only you can do, teen. But the truly shameful thing is that now you start quoting Halloween (or maybe, who knows, with Michele Giasone you meant Michael Jackson, whatever, in the end, however you look at it, you’re the one who, if he doesn’t always say the wrong thing, turns into a pumpkin, so whatever) after you managed to make the most remarkable blunder of your embarrassing debaser career precisely on Halloween.
A phenomenon, as always.

I don't like Almodóvar and I haven't seen this. If it's not Almodóvar, maybe I'll give it a try. Plus, I really like you, so let's give it a shot together!
