@Fedee: Sure, give it a try! :)) After all, it’s quite short by Coe’s standards: it shouldn’t take up too much of your time! By the way, you can find some interesting insights here too. For example, I was really struck by Gregory’s sexual fantasy-obsession where, to get aroused, he usually presses his fingers on his lover’s eyes... a thing that honestly caused me almost physical discomfort!! I'm very curious to know what Truman thinks about the final twist regarding Robert... I confess, I didn’t like it at all! :D! If you want to read something by Coe, my suggestion is definitely to start with La banda dei brocchi or La Famiglia Winshaw (which is a bit more convoluted), while I think you should avoid the latest one "La pioggia prima che cada" which I really didn’t like at all...

Great review. This is a good album: it has never really driven me crazy, but every now and then I find myself giving it another listen. A few months ago, they were playing near me: I was pretty bummed that I didn't go to see them.

Just the phrase "Donnie had a sister" is such a total nonsense that it makes anyone who loved the first chapter lose the desire to go to the cinema. In fact, especially for those who loved the first chapter. Then you go see it and discover that the leading ladies are two beauties with a pouting look reminiscent of Alicia Silverstone and wearing mini shorts even at Christmas, and that in America, it hardly found a distributor at all. If you also consider that a sequel after 7 years reeks of scraping the bottom of the barrel like a pair of underpants after three weeks with a broken washing machine, I’d say the math is pretty straightforward. For certain crap, Hollywood deserves piracy.

Among the ones I've read by Coe, this is certainly the one I liked the least. Coe loves impossible connections, coincidences on the edge of plausibility, improbable cause-and-effect mechanisms, etc., etc. But here, I don't know, it feels like there are just a bit too many contrivances. Paradoxically, in "The Winshaw Family," the funhouse mirror effect was even more exaggerated, but – for some strange reason – it seems to me that the machinery worked better. "The Rotters' Club," on the other hand, had the strength of its characters and the historical setting on its side. This one seems a bit lacking in both aspects. Nevertheless, the review was very good. :))

Their Battle Cry is one of the most beautiful American epic metal albums of the '80s, but I confess I have never listened to it. Great recommendation!! P.S.: to report errors and/or request corrections, please do not use the comments, but send an email to editors@debaser.it. This way, you can be sure that we are aware of the issue and we can intervene as soon as possible! Thank you!! :))

Cosmic Kukkagna: 403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. It’s worth noting that Rubalcaba is wearing a Farm t-shirt, while the bassist has one from the Witch. I think Mascis, after the split, gave him a lot of Dinosaur Jr merchandise!! :))

@Giusty: ""in the meantime, thinning out the Metallica, Pink Floyd, Dream Theater doesn't seem like a huge task..."" No, it probably wouldn't be a huge task, but: 1) what would we gain?! 100-200 reviews less in a database of over 24 thousand?! The problem isn't with what has already been reviewed, but with what is currently being reviewed and, above all, everything that still needs to be reviewed, which nobody talks about because they prefer to discuss how great The Wall is. 2) What criteria should be used for thinning out?! Certainly not chronological: the FIRST review isn't always the best. Over the years, user evaluation criteria have changed. The first reviews, for example, were very brief. I even remember a review where NickGhostDrake was "scolded" for sending in a review that was too long... and it was only about 15 lines!:DD Not to mention the idea of pruning based on the quality of the writings or average scores, given that I don't think anyone would take on the responsibility of "saving" one review and "sacrificing" another. Furthermore, deleting a review would also mean removing all the comments on that page... and what if an interesting discussion came out of a shitty review?!? What do we do then?! In general, I personally don't like the idea that someone has had their review on the site for years and one day finds it offline... I repeat: in my opinion, the problem isn’t with the 100-plus reviews on Metallica or Iron Maiden. After all, you just have to ignore them, right?! As for the issue of new duplicates, I wouldn't know... I don't know! :))

To be honest, my review was a bit of a bore! :D! It was long, somewhat dull, and a bit didactic... It described the film and - I fear - it didn't really entice anyone who hadn't seen it. That’s also why I stopped reviewing films: I remember I had written one on Rashomon, which I then abandoned on my hard drive with a mix of disappointment and shame :)). This, on the other hand, with many fewer words, makes you want to watch it. I think that's a merit that should be acknowledged to the reviewer. Perhaps it’s this film that is “too much” for a review: too many symbols, too much acting from Mitchum, too many chiaroscuro effects, too many dialogues, and too many individual scenes that deserve a mention... too much cruelty. Among my top 5 favorite films of all time.

Quoting defender: I saw it a ton of years ago, but I don't remember it being a masterpiece! It’s not on the level of that half-baked Starman or the other recent piece of crap Ghosts of Mars, but we’re still quite far from the super crappy In the Mouth of Madness, for example. Among Carpenter's lesser-known but still rather enjoyable films, I’d include Assault on Precinct 13: basically Romero's Night of the Living Dead reimagined in a metropolitan key!
