Vivian Stanshall Men Opening Umbrellas Ahead

Now we’re getting somewhere... you’re the same old scoundrel: you knew very well that I wouldn't appreciate that deconstructed soup from the other review, so you had to throw the other lifeboat overboard. I'm diving right in with both feet.

The temptation to play with fire is strong, especially considering the usual murky inconcinnity that accompanies certain tales like this one, where, among other things, it seems a sin of superficiality to dismiss the album's content in just a few lines, raising more than a doubt about whether the story is indeed more interesting than the work itself (a déjà vu that brings me back to that old review of yours of the hideous album by the ex-Velvet). I was saying, the temptation to commit a new crime of lesa maestà is indeed great, but seeing such joy from many in the discovery of a renewed ability for synthesis, I don't feel like pricking the balloon. For this time, I'll let it pass, but next time... "I'll cut you off right there!" (semi-quote.)

Finally, we've removed the writer's block... and the result is certainly impressive! Of course, I've been racking my brain over that "pauper decepti": what the hell language is that? If it's Latin, it seems quite macaronic, or maybe I missed some obscure reference!
Ah, I didn't know a thing about these peregrine falcons and I still know very little, savansadir, but certainly now after this excellent analysis, I can only put it at the end of a hundred backlog listens of EBM and indietronica. I'll let you know.
Paolo Sorrentino È stata la mano di Dio
Voto:
"The Great Beauty" is fortunately, or unfortunately, far away: here the narrative is much more linear and less imbued with the proverbial Sorrentinian hyperboles. This could be a good thing, and to some extent, it is, since it is quite clear that the starting point this time is not a Berlusconi or an Andreotti, but Sorrentino himself - @[joe strummer] is right to talk about "dry autobiographism" - regarding which it would have been impossible and decidedly inappropriate to impose an overwhelmingly epic tone to the narrative. However, I believe that it is precisely from this autobiographism that the limits of the film arise: too many narrative threads remain unresolved with neither winners nor losers. Is Armando a victim or a hero? Is Aunt Patrizia the wise one thought to be mad, or the other way around? And what about the sister perpetually locked in the bathroom? Perhaps the lesson is the same as in Kubrick's Barry Lyndon ("Good or bad, beautiful or ugly, rich or poor, now they are all equal"), but in doubt, I would remain cautious with a judgment that is nonetheless largely sufficient.
Fredric Brown Gli strani suicidi di Bartlesville

I know "The Strange Fungicides of @[Bartleboom]," a noir novel featuring a famous user from Padania and his chronic toenail fungus problems. However, this seems more interesting.
Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger Duello a Berlino (The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp)
Voto:
Winding writing this time: I won't hide the fact that I struggled a bit to unravel the intricacies of your lofty flights of fancy. Of course, the usual linguistic preciosities with which you embellish your learned eloquence can't be overlooked, so five generous berlinghe again this time. I knew nothing about P&P, but they seem very Lubitsch-like to me. If they show it somewhere, I'll take a look.

Yes, but this meaning of the term "idiosyncrasy" seems to have some issues... or are you perhaps resorting to a rather subtle irony that's not immediately clear? I'll read the rest calmly... anyway, @[asterics] is always a guarantee of proposals full of freshness and relevance on the homepage!
Martin Scorsese Fuori Orario
Voto:
A labyrinthine and Kafkaesque film where, much like "Manhattan," the latent protagonist is New York, but unlike Allen's masterpiece, the Big Apple here reveals its dark and Luciferian side. Following suit with all the previous comments, I can only assert that this is one of Scorsese’s most underrated works. A review full of interesting insights, despite a few too many words on the developments of the plot.
Claudio Baglioni Sabato pomeriggio
Voto:
Ahahahahah, what a magnificent and delicate dirge. I wouldn't be so harsh with Baglioni and this album: "Poster" and "2 1 X" are not that bad, and from his plastic discography, I would tend to save at least "Gira che ti rigira amore bello". Kyrie, precious in this long pamphlet, although despite the intentions, in the central part, it definitely approaches the perilous abyss of the track-by-track. Best regards and beautiful things.

Widely advertised in Turin where the exhibition will remain active until May 1st. There's still time... even if at this rate it will end up like it did for you with the exhibition in Trento... and besides, Stupinigi is a bit off the beaten path.
