Sam Peckinpah Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid (1973)

I don't know, my disappointment. It must be the "elegiac tone" that Giovanni highlights... I prefer the rotten and desperate Peckinpah. This is undoubtedly my least favorite of his films.

I join the chorus of praise, what a fantastic film. I love Peckinpah to madness.

you're quite intriguing me... I had already heard from people I consider very competent that this was a nice film, but I found House of 1000 Corpses to be just a little movie. Since Tarantino is constantly mentioned, the comparison was valid, but in my opinion, Tarantino has used referencing intelligently and ironically from Reservoir Dogs to today to build modern and brilliant films with a rapid pace. House of 1000 Corpses, on the other hand, wants to reference gritty and rotting films like the '70s slashers but instead came out with something overly polished and plastic (and pretty boring, imho). Tristèss. Well, I realized I have to watch this...

The Residents Not Available

I definitely agree with Airone on "meet the residents," on all counts. Eskimo is fascinating, but to be honest, it's a bit of a silly thing for me. Vaguely softer yet equally fascinating are Fingerprince, the commercial album, and in my humble opinion especially Duck stub (here's the magnificent video of Hello Skinny, which gives an idea of the music on the album: where there are more concise tracks and not the long suites, but they sound like the Residents one hundred percent. If you want to go further into the '80s, many speak well of God in three persons, but I find it a bit dull. If you have to choose, go for the mole trilogy (a trilogy of four albums, it's a bit strange but whatever), especially the very dark big bubble. In the '90s, I liked Wormwood quite a bit...

Woody Allen Match Point

No, you can't fool yourself because you don't think like the critic above, but you don't think like: tornabuoni (la stamba), kezich (corriere della sera), Emanuela martini (film tv), claudia mangano (mucchio selvaggio), Paini (sole 24ore), irene bignardi (repubblica), and others who compare Match Point to Crimes and Misdemeanors either. For someone like you, who had made an annoyed tirade against "free thinkers," such a position is unacceptable. Soon, in private, get back in line, you're acting too much like a free thinker, and you wouldn't want to be a free thinker, would you? Come on, march, fall back in line. Just promise that it won't happen again.

Polè, now I understand why you have to conform; once you express your own idea, you really can't find the right words. To me, the similarity is glaring, absolutely glaring. But if you don't trust me, I suggest you go back to conforming to the directives of criticism. Just take a second to look; see how many critics draw parallels between Match Point and Crimes and Misdemeanors: Mereghetti, Morandini, Gli Spietati, I Duellanti (by Gianni Canova), Rondi, Alberto Pezzotta, Alberto Crespi from L'Unità, Ferzetti from Il Messaggero, Anselmi from Ciak, De Luca from L'Avvenire, Carbona from Il Giornale. You can verify it yourself. Surrender, conform.

Crimes and Misdemeanors is considered one of the best; I meant the one in the post above, in case it's not clear.

Well, not having seen it isn't exactly a grave crime, and you're also free to hate it when you do see it. Match Point tackles the same identical themes as Crimes and Misdemeanors; it's equally very dark, in short, it resembles it a lot. Many consider it one of Allen's absolute best films, and many despise Match Point just for that reason (the excessive similarity), and that's a reason that doesn't convince me much. I wanted to see if that was the case :)
