Morphine Cure For Pain

The lineup is truly original (or rather, multiple saxophones played simultaneously by a single person, like I know only Roland Kirk did), and, among other things, it achieves the perfect balance between rock, blues, and jazz. In my opinion, no other group has managed to do this, to walk that delicate line, to be the perfect summary of three different worlds, not even Waits, for example. This is more than enough to make them original, in addition to being three incredible musicians.

by the way, Dana Colley is an incredible saxophonist!
Dave, if it’s you, take my advice, before wrapping things up, do yourself a big favor. Listen to Whisper, it’s not much, it’s just three minutes, you can find it in yes. And also a track like I know you from Good. Then you can ramble on as much as you want.

dave?! What is the new reincarnation of davidejovannigilmour? Come on, 5 for Dark Side, 5 for any crappy Italian progressive album, 5 for Gilmour's album, and 2.5 for this? Tell me no, I’ll never believe it! @Pretazz: the revival is there, whether it’s interpreted with great taste and originality is another story, but it’s still revival, it’s rock and roll, it’s blues and jazz.

Trell, I didn't want to say it. Of course, sometimes we should have more humility and listen to similar records more carefully.

Dear Arnold, it’s called revival. Besides, if you can find me even two more bands with bass, sax, and drums (that is, not even playing the same stuff, because they don’t exist), you’ll become my idol. This is not an album to listen to just once; the sobriety, elegance, originality, and at the same time the sense of measure of Morphine have very few equals. And it's not just in "Cure for Pain"; just listen to a track like "Whisper" to realize that.

I don’t like it much. I’ve seen it several times despite its exasperating length, but I just can’t get over it—it's a slow and heavy pachyderm, a bit mushy too, even though there are some scenes that I like, like the ending with James Wood. In my opinion, having a great cast and a Ben Hur length isn’t enough to make a great film. It should be epic; I find it draining, and I often really enjoy slow films. Among Leone’s major works, this is the one I like the least.

Pedro Almodòvar Donne Sull'Orlo Di Una Crisi Di Nervi

I completely agree with radiodays, Almodóvar has always been an honest director, very attentive to the human aspect, but even though some of his films are very beautiful, I wouldn't use the word masterpiece for any of his works.

Woody Allen Crimini E Misfatti

For me, however, match point is more or less on the same level. If Allen had made match point first, many would say that Crimini e misfatti is the faded copy of it, guaranteed.

Why Josillo? Let me check... it seems right, or am I wrong? Usually I write in a hurry and often end up with cubist posts ("you can make it too," quote) but this one seems to still be within the limits of decency. Or not? :)
