Martin Amis Koba il Terribile. Una risata e venti milioni di morti
Voto:
I see that you have read other works by Amis, whom I know quite well.
I haven't read all the comments on this and other pages, so perhaps these titles have already been mentioned, but I'll point out the ones I think are worth it: "London Fields" and "The Information" among the novels, and the short piece "The Arrow of Time," which I believe you will like.
If you happen to read them, let me know what you think.
Bye.

Well done, @[mariomario]
Just one page, but about Lennie. Good job.

But have they reprinted it? I thought I had purchased the last available copy many years ago, and I had written to Feltrinelli requesting a reprint.
Right, but you read it in a thing, a kinder or a buondi, as always.
Anyway, it was good of you to mention it, even though you should point out the unavailability of the print object, in my highly debatable opinion.
Hello, Stan.

I'm looking for it, thank you.
By M. D., I recommend "Danger in the House" - 1985, featuring an amazing Richard Bohringer (or at least, that's how I remember him).

Madonna, how much stuff we've listened to and forgotten in this cage of lunatics. It’s true what hjhhjij says, 1 & 2 enjoyed back then, but without this asterisk, I might have forgotten them forever. Cute piece in the box.

Good sea to everyone... darn you, if only you knew!
I will listen to it, it’s fully available on YouTube, I see, because his old stuff wasn’t bad (I struggle with breakbeat, I prefer the IDM and "balearic" parts), even though he has always seemed a bit uncertain and unoriginal to me, and then because you are too in love and so much enthusiasm deserves a little extra trust.
Hi, Kid.

Eh, @[asterics] is a formidable and tireless "communicator."
In cases like this, with Cilio, a little refresher every now and then is even more necessary.
I just need to check if they have reprinted the CD; I bought 3 copies back then, and the print run (I think it was 500) ran out quickly.
But I believe it’s still listenable on YouTube, at least.
However, closing, I must thank you: now, after 8 hours of quite exhausting work, thanks to you and Messer *, I’ll just pop the CD into the player, sit back in my armchair, and say goodbye.
Ciao.

You have won.
By far.
A stunning read.
Giuseppe Tornatore Ennio

Seen now, that is, right now.
On every fragment, one could build another documentary, and from there intersect with another, generated by a different aspect or period, in an endless fractal discourse. Funny, considering the apparent "simplicity" and universality of its music, the almost material solidity of the themes we have internalized, as if reappearing in the air of time.
And for once, the elegiac tone of the numerous interventions is palpably sincere, not the formal tribute to a famous deceased personality. I also appreciated the discreet and non-intrusive position taken by Tornatore. In short, glad to have seen it.

I had written a very long comment that got DeSwallowed (so there is indeed a DePreventive Justice).

It said a bit of trivialities regarding his second film, "Beginners," (largely autobiographical) which I just finished watching.
The rambling dissertation concluded with a consideration about the need to work consistently to arrive at a recognizable and solid stylistic signature, especially when tackling the treacherous and by no means simple terrain of cinema that speaks of relationships between humans.
And a consequent consideration: Mills has only made 4 films in 16 years.

It's true that he boasts a long and more than respectable career as a music video director, and the mastery of the technical medium is evident right from the start, even in "Beginners," but I fear, reading your review, that on that slippery ground I mentioned, it's easy to slip, ending up in the arms of the web of pseudo visual literature.

Anyway, I also downloaded the next one; I’ll check the developments.
All because I saw the disappointment in your eyes when you left the theater, your big doe eyes.

Cheers.
