Yes, Melisso, and as a haloa's pimp, I can smell who has the goods and who is just pretending. The attributes, ahahaha, tzé.

I listened to it, and more or less I agree, even if I admit I probably won't listen to it again, too caught up in other musical shores. But considering the genre, the attitude, a solid 2.5 is something no one can take away from it. // This was a nice page before someone showed signs of mental dismay.

So are they still around? Then let's listen.

Yes, they churn out a lot of stuff, hard to keep up with them. Downloaded a month ago but not listened to with focus, it's on the waiting list for the right moment. Reviews from blogs, but that's fine.
Bernardo Bertolucci Il Tè Nel Deserto

If it weren't for Winger... she was the best choice, she has always managed to save films dangerously close to the stickiness of sappy romanticism thanks to her dry and abrasive acting, making everything feel human and not "novelized." With An Officer and a Gentleman, it was a bit less successful, but Winger could have made even Pretty Woman somewhat watchable if she had been there instead of Roberts (am I exaggerating?).
Peter Bogdanovic Mask - Dietro La Maschera

Occult, come on, they’re discussing it. It’s true they are almost contemporaneous, it’s true he might have been inspired (being a true story, he might have read a book, an article about it, he might have thought of the analogy with Lynch's Elephant Man, etc., etc., etc.), but - in my humble opinion (this is my opinion, not arrogance) - it lacks a fundamental component that instead ties Elephant Man to the other films I mentioned, the component of "show." The actors in the films I'm talking about are 'freaks' in the true sense of the word, the original one, the nineteenth-century one, the circus one. While Bogdanovich ?tries? to talk about something else (whether he does it well or not is another discussion). He plays with the very term, with a new meaning that it took on in the 1970s (I don’t mean in the screenplay, but in the collective imagination), posing the question: who are the real freaks? The "monsters/freaks" wrong by nature, or the "monsters/hippies" who are so only by their own choice (the drug addicts)? So, I agree on the analogies, but not on the purpose, on where Bogdanovich wanted to go with it, it doesn’t relate to Lynch. (sorry for the confusion but I have a splitting headache, the wind is strong here)
John Badham La Febbre Del Sabato Sera (1977)

Fusillo, titled Carrie, The Devil's Gaze, is a cult classic! Iside, would you be angry if I said you did a disservice to this film? Well, at least you mentioned the soundtrack, which is a spectacle in itself! Anyway: the review reveals an underlying drama, just like in the film, where, apart from frustration, anger, and suicide, there's also a group rape involved (for me, this is the most dramatic part, the moment when sympathy for the protagonists irreparably collapses). The figure of Manero, squeezed into a white suit and black shirt with that typical arm-raising move, has overshadowed the real intention of this film, which was to capture the newly born disco scene in Brooklyn (in '74-'75, before it was overrun by gay culture and not after) amidst machismo (remember, Manero is of Italian descent, ahem), brawls, alcohol, and drugs. When disco was still a man’s thing. A very brief period, which ended even before the film was completed.

3, a pleasant album, perfect for those who like Psapp and Stina Nordestam. A brilliant gal, apparently she's amazing live.

As if only The Elephant Man existed... and Freaks by Browning? ... and Ferreri's La Donna Scimmia? With Mask, a comparison is made solely based on the "deformity" of the protagonists, which in this case is similar. But that's where the analogy ends. The Elephant Man has many other comparisons to support, Freaks foremost.

Back then I would have given it a 5, today it’s a 3.5... This phrase is very true: "the story is so clean that the protagonist's deformity and illness take a back seat." However, what Bartleboom says is also true, "at certain points it has a rare and precious sadness." (Cher gave her best in this film, in Moonstruck, and in The Witches of Eastwick).
