in Italian. In Italian, I would be willing to try listening to something else; enough is enough, it’s time to tell it to go screw itself. He may be good with the throat, but this stuff is rarely so artificial. It tastes like Anthony & the Johnsons. Without Anthony, with Mika. Without the Johnsons and with an electronics vibe like "Bjork gone wrong." Instead of promoting it on Debaser, you should try MTV. We would all benefit, Erio first. If you intend to continue writing for Debaser: go ahead, and consequently do us a favor: pretend that the “track by track” was never invented.
M. Night Shyamalan The Visit

It disgusted me, thank God I saw it pirated by the Chinese (perfect Italian audio and video, Chinese subtitles). The movie grossed me out. Ah, I already said it... A mix of yawning/laughter for its entire duration. I hoped the twist would be absent, but not only is it there, it’s practically spoiled by the script, the actors, and the director himself. (sbadabam, if we're going to score an own goal, let’s make it an acrobatic one so it goes around the world). The execution is the only thing I liked: the found footage is consistently justified by the plot and I appreciated that it’s all during the day instead of all at night (too bad this impacts the tension...). I liked... well, I think that's where my compliments end.
An unintentionally comedic yawner of a horror film, the scene under the house gets cited everywhere... I even found that funny, shymalasticazzi is not a genius and relies on the cheapest trick to create tension: a soundtrack. And here it’s missing...
The day before, Popcorn showed me "Last Shift," a low-budget little movie with a mediocre plot and low special effects, which relied entirely on what is a gap here: the sound. With that, I was scared out of my mind for two hours. You don’t have to do something different to stand out, you just have to do it better. Shymlasticazzi almost always does everything worse. Different, it's true, but worse.

Ten lines and a link to the album: by the book.
Unfortunately, of the proposed coordinates, I only intersect the lows that I don't really like, so I don't know if... but wait: there's the link!
Yes, by the book. I still don't understand how "Zot" is considered a "worthy exception" and not "how it should be done." But I'm biased.

Claudio Caligari Non essere cattivo
Voto:
I reiterate that the review is a nice read, but it contains quite a bit of stuff that I take the liberty to spill out. After his monumental debut, Caligari worked on a bunch of screenplays, spending about three years on each. They didn’t produce any of them. Caligari is a bit uncomfortable and perhaps a bit unlucky as well. After all, "Amore tossico" had managed to reach distribution companies only thanks to Ferreri's intervention. (In Italy, it goes like this: either you're old and established, or you're dead, or those with money don't give a damn about you.)
I was saying, he gets rejected a hell of a lot of projects until "L'odore della notte," and he achieves his goal with that film, and in 200 he starts a new project: a film centered on the relocation of organized crime activities from the south to the north. Can you imagine if anyone actually lets him do it...
So, between one disappointment and another, he completes that project he had started writing with Mastandrea ever since the filming of "L'odore della notte," which is indeed this film "Non essere cattivo." It’s a shame that, as usual, halfway through production they cut the funds, and Caligari finds himself once again with half a film ready, if not more, and zero money to continue. Mastandrea (who is as much of a fake dummy as he is a real actor, and as intelligent in real life as he is charismatic on screen) doesn't stand for it; he convinces the director to "beg" on TV talk shows (Mastandrea will actually do this). Moreover, Caligari is in really bad shape, and it would be a kick in the teeth from pity to let him die before he can see his last film completed, beyond the fact that he’s a director who deserves it. And if the Italian producers/distributors are absent from the TV talk shows, Mastandrea buys a page in "Il Messaggero" where he publishes an open letter to Martin Scorsese, informing the director that Caligari hasn't been able to work for two years and that the film he has is thick, and maybe Martin, since you’re so often quoted by Clausius, you've seen a Claudio film, and you might feel like throwing in a few bucks.
And Scorsese probably never even read that letter (he likely doesn't read "Il Messaggero"). But a bunch of assholes do, including people from the Medusa group (Mediaset), who thankfully cough up the cash (you bring up Scorsese, the director is about to die, and then you’ve solved your problems. Death, in this country full of old bastards, solves all your problems).
So the money comes. And Caligari dies. Before he can see his film completed. They edit the film with a religious respect for the director, the ending is what the director wanted despite the criticisms. Perhaps the transition where: "Cesarino will be Cesare" is a bit understated and risks appearing less dramatic than it is, but it’s Claudio’s ending.
The director's film that no one gave a shit about is now here.
And can someone kindly explain to me why, if nobody gave a damn about Caligari, in 2016 we chose him as the Italian spokesperson at the Oscars? (Oh my God, we’re presenting a scream of a movie at the Oscars; I don’t know how many decades it’s been since that happened).
P.S.: I’ve loved Mastandrea since I was 15 because "Tutti giù per terra" is "Tutti giù per terra," and if you don't like that explanation, it’s because you missed a few steps as a kid. And it’s awesome to discover that after decades, your references continue to be true to you. Thanks, Vale', keep it real, because in this country we have a visceral need for people of good will.

Awful, don't take it the wrong way, but all you do is say things you've heard over and over. I haven't seen the movie in ages, and the fans who are disgusted by it crack me up: "It's a stupid little movie with stupid characters." Come on, is The Empire Strikes Back a documentary about the reasons for the Holocaust or what? "Jar Jar Binks is the worst character in the series." Maybe, but in the end, he’s also the most discussed and the one who steals the most attention from fans; he might suck, but you’re so foolish that you can't talk about anything else. By the way, those fans don’t get outraged over the real crime of the second trilogy: Darth Maul... a charisma that shines from the posters and is still pulling weight even now. To put it in "chiccotana" terms, to create a Darth Maul, you have to give me 4 Han Solos, 2 Boba Fetts, and 4,000 stormtroopers. Such a character should remain on celluloid "for life," not to mention Han Solo in graphite... making him die like an idiot against a Jedi in their early training is disgraceful.
I only went to see the second one hoping Darth Maul would come back to life. I haven’t seen the third one. I will obviously watch the one by JJ Abrams, and I sincerely hope that JJ was clever enough to explain to Lucas: "We don't give a damn about Leia, Luke, Chewbacca, and Indy. No, we want Mad Dog smashing the faces of random alien races plucked from the grimoire for three-quarters of the movie. If we can also bring Darth Maul back to life and make the second half a brawl fest between the two, we might even have people fainting in the theater."
I don’t believe there's a chance it will end that way; probably Mad Dog will only handle the choreography (but let it be clear: both he and Iko Uwais are in the cast), but hoping costs nothing. If it were to end that way, I think we won’t be seeing popcorn around for a long time.

This is one of those movies that if Saint Peter asks you: "have you seen it?" and you answer: "no," the saints start cursing and Satan gives you a kick in the ass first with horns and then with a singing baton. I didn’t like the review, basically because it tells things that the movie conveys a million times better. Aside from the fact that spoilers always give me the pox, I want to clarify that I believe no one could write anything that would satisfy me about this work. I don’t evaluate the film because it’s a tribute to humanity, and gifts aren’t evaluated; you just say "thank you," hoping (often in vain) to receive more.
