Thank you, Poletti, for confirming that you're an idiot. By the way, I'm 24 years old, I've changed majors, I'm in graduate school, and I'm not behind on my studies. You’re just a sore loser stuck in Milan where there's a ton of people living the good life right in your face, but the fact is that your superficiality combined with your dullness and frustration makes you see only the classic tip of the iceberg. How we ended up talking about this stuff on this page is something only you know.

There would also be The Planet of the Apes, his most significant misstep, but I find it pointless to criticize him for "lack of ideas"... some of his best films he directed but did not write. Then, certain choices are personal; Beetlejuice and Mars Attacks are ambiguous films that can be considered brilliant and original or bland and ridiculous, depending on tastes... Big Fish can enchant or repel in its own way. Personally, I am still eagerly awaiting the next 9 and Alice in Wonderland (even though for this one I would have preferred a darker horror retelling of the second book by American McGee).

LaRock(01), I like Benigni and his speeches about Berlusconi and Storace amuse me. However, this film barely gets a couple of smiles out of me... I actually preferred Il Mostro to this, but I prefer when he is just an actor and not a director.
Tim Burton Sleepy Hollow

Perhaps it is one of Burton's weakest films, not due to any fault of his own; on the contrary... if the film is enjoyable, it is precisely because those behind (and in front of) the camera know what they're doing, and the adaptation of the legend of Sleepy Hollow, which could have risked being mundane, becomes captivating. Alongside Edward Scissorhands and Ed Wood, it is one of the most purely Burtonsian films, with a color palette that ranges from deep blue to black from start to finish.

It's a badass genre, obviously, and it doesn’t include any masterpieces of film history, clear. But it has its reasons and boasts quite a few commercial successes. That it doesn’t relate at all to the movie reviewed on this page is equally obvious, but Poletti has no arguments, just a lot of bullshit...

"1994, Kurt Cobain shoots himself, an entire 'Grunge' generation dies..." but you and the other Cobain fans can die, because we're doing just fine... poor Nirvana, having the most idiotic and crazed fans in the history of music.

"a copy of the music that Mr. Timbaland is producing these days" I haven't heard the album, but this would be a great reason to give it a 1. How lovely, even after turning 50, he's still playing the sex symbol...

What the hell do you have against university students, then, that you bring them up whenever you can... you're old and sad, I don't know about the outside, but inside you're definitely that.

"American Pie a milestone?" Well, yes, when it comes to trash comedies about American colleges, American Pie pops up everywhere. And what the hell it has to do with Johnny Stecchino is something only you know. "You have the average intelligence of any college student," which means I'm two steps ahead of you, since you are universally recognized as a poor fool.

Poletti, you always have to play the fool. American Pie is a film that falls into the genre of American teen comedies, alongside Animal House and the various Porky's, and in its field, it's a milestone. What the hell does that have to do with this? Nothing. This is a mediocre comedy film with at least as mediocre gags as the cast, featuring jokes and grimaces that don't make me laugh and predictable sketches. I don't like it; if there's someone who finds joy just in hearing the Sicilian inflection, good for them.
