El Guevo

what a beautiful album. recorded with love, taste, passion, art, craftsmanship, and 11 masterpiece songs.

a delightful album.

a true masterpiece

surely one of Altman's worst, contrary to what someone claimed in a comment earlier...well?

a truly extraordinary horror. a true cult classic.

here's a film and a director who are truly overrated.

nothing more than a little movie, this one is for teenagers.

a tiny jewel.

a beautiful film that has the merit of revealing Ewan McGregor as a truly outstanding actor. I read the book, and Boyle nailed it, conveying the true theme of drugs: loneliness, friends are just an illusion, ready to screw each other over. The visual ideas are certainly not for teenagers, but rather clever insights to tell a sad theme like this in a mocking and ironic way (and this is where the film's transgression lies, just like in the book). Drug addicts are ready to do anything, even jump into the toilet just to score some drugs.

As a film, it is certainly not a masterpiece, but it is a movie that achieves its goal, which is to make you laugh.
