I agree, what a schmooze! High-class... a shot worthy of mac(enroe)!

I don't think it's for me (especially right now), but your work as an explorer is always commendable.

You have lightened my Monday... welcome to the smoky and varied cauldron of DeBaserioti reviewers!

In short, Lulù, you kick my ass for the cultured references and then you... haha! Just kidding, honestly, yours is a really beautiful page (references or no references). As for Zappa, I don't have a visceral repulsion like I do with Springsteen or Maiden, but I've never really taken the plunge (perhaps because I should dive in cheerfully)...

In short, if you look closely, I quote the reader.. you write well about records that I wouldn't touch even with a two-meter pole…

I’ll make two assumptions: 1) if you give it 5 stars, it means it will really be a great film (you've clearly earned your cinematic expertise stripes here on DeB) 2) I haven’t seen all of Eastwood's directing films.
However, it seems to me that he has a coarse sense of the oxymoron in some of his characters or situations: the triumphant defeat of Swank in Million Dollar Baby is a bit too triumphant, and the disturbed innocence of Robbins in Mystic River is a bit too disturbed.
I find, in these two films for example, that subtlety is definitely not his strong suit and, if I wanted to push my criticism to the max, I would add that he seems like an elephant in the china shop of human situations and characters (could it be that American machismo veneer and simplistic winning/losing dichotomy that I find irritating as soon as I smell, or think I smell, its odor?).
I wouldn’t want this humanization of functions to be a bit overdone...

First of all, good luck on the journey you have decided to embark on.
I consider myself a rather spiritual being (let's put it this way) who meditates in my own way, not following any particular discipline other than the whim of the moment.
But then I ask myself: does it make sense to say "spiritual"?
There’s a beautiful "nursery rhyme" by Paul Valéry that underscores the enormous qualitative difference between tangible things and those that are "spiritual":

"My hat is on my head,
My head is on my body,
My body is in my... spirit,
My spirit is my spirit?"

I think Valéry also wants to emphasize that what we call "spirit" is merely our mental representation of "spirit," in short, a mere workings of the intellect. The "true" spirit could be something entirely different, something we cannot even imagine or grasp.

But think about it, a publishing house "gives space to these individuals in the name of greater profit in terms of copies sold."
But think about it, Corona is devoted to the cult of (his) personality claiming that "I have my own magnetism. I look at a woman and right after I'm there ready to sleep with her."
But think about it, in our country there are "thousands of brain-damaged people and with serious psychiatric problems" who follow this character.
Alright, now I'm going to shock you: did you know that if he hosts a night at a nightclub he's showered with cash and, probably, he could sleep with (almost) all the girls in the place? Huh, you weren't expecting that, were you?!?!

I'm not a big blues eater... but these are the pages that can whet my appetite... really very beautiful...
