I read it with great interest.

As I have mentioned several times in these pages, I owe a lot to the novel. The film, on the other hand, in my opinion, is celebrated even more than it actually deserves. It is true that it deals with adult themes in an adult way, and it is right to commend it for the courage shown in many narrative and visual choices. However, I am convinced that a good part of its fame comes from that "Oh, it's a cartoon with bunnies, but it has violence and talks about slavery." Personally, I find it primarily a film that has aged very poorly in terms of graphics, with an at times frenetic pace and a dubbing that does not help. It certainly deserves to be seen, but I would reserve the 5 stars for something else.

I gave up after Little Lucid Moments (which I still think, after all these years, is an album with so many great ideas, very verbose, but overall truly good), which for clarity is the last one whose song titles I know and can hum or quote some melody, verse, line from memory. I've listened to almost all the subsequent ones, but very simply, I never managed to absorb them... unfortunately, with my listening pace for the past few years, I either only listen to Motoretta or they get their 5-6 listens per album, and unless I find the Anna Safroncik of the records, they end up at the bottom of the USB stick in the car. The last one I listened to was Here Be Monster, which seemed nice too, but I didn't understand why they absolutely had to make a whole album. I don't think I'll ever understand them: objectively, if a selection of their production were to be made, it would undoubtedly result in one of the coolest rock bands of the last 30 years, stuff that would easily fill arenas. And yet all this mountain of albums, perhaps even beautiful, but never truly memorable, I don't know...

Hi Enea. Sorry for writing here, but it's really urgent. Today Mr. Franco from the rotisserie called me again. He says that this week you came by and took half a kilo of porchetta and two portions of lasagna pesto, potatoes, and green beans on credit. Tomorrow morning I'll stop by to settle up because Mr. Franco is a good person and has a family to support, but between the rent for July and what I lent you for the Premium subscription to Pornhub, my wife keeps telling me that if you don't stop spending your days here writing this late-teen nonsense, you won't find a serious job and if you don't get back on track by next month, she'll call her cousin who works as a mechanic in Lonate Pozzolo, and then he'll show you his irritated reaction... I mean, he'll literally use a pitchfork on your face. Thanks a lot and sorry again.

Hi Enea, sorry to use this space, but we are still waiting for the rent for May. Moreover, the administrator says that there is always a smell of low-quality frying coming from your apartment that fills the stairs, and the people in the building are complaining. Sorry again, but I noticed you blocked me on WhatsApp and I really need the rent money. Thanks and suca ancora.

I had never heard them before. (Very) intrigued by the review and the comments, I found them on YouTube and I'm enjoying them. More musically than vocally, to be honest... they have that laid-back vibe very '90s, and I realize that - at least for me - it no longer generates that empathy that twenty-something years ago would have made me listen to them on loop, lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling without thinking about anything. But maybe I just haven't listened to the right tracks yet. I'll give you a 5 just for the recommendation.

They're good people. I've always imagined them in the '80s doing crappy jobs, with all their colleagues teasing them because they're making albums that are objectively not essential, which no one, not even in the medal circuit, gives a damn about. But then in the '90s they get their big break, go on world tours, and sell tens of thousands of copies. Maybe they even find someone to hook up with. Except for Bolthendal, who could have sold 10 billion records, but I don't see how any woman could accept having him on top of her, naked and sweaty, huffing away. I've always hoped they didn't resign... I don't know, maybe they reached an agreement with their employer so that when this power metal ride was over, they'd be able to go back to work... Great review!

The review is EXACTLY what I wanted to read. In recent years, I’ve discovered that I’m really into the flying mouse and sooner or later I had planned to give this series a try. You've managed to intrigue me with a takedown.

I won't give a beautiful rating to the review. Because, in my opinion, it doesn't mention the most important stuff. Yes, okay, Jordan, Pippen, the Bulls, documentary, the hagiography that all the celebrations take away, etc., etc., etc... Frankly, I saw it mostly as a long psychiatric session for his teammates: we're talking about one of the most outrageous cases of Stockholm Syndrome in human history. Jordan literally BULLied (just a coincidence? I don't think so...) his teammates for years, insulted them, humiliated them, scared them, solely to satisfy a clinically pathological competitiveness. Then they say, "Ohhh, how great it was when he targeted us and didn’t leave us alone for a second! And it was wonderful when he counted each one of our missed shots and then threw it back at us angrily in the locker room, when he insulted us and gave us stupid nicknames, when he made us train 18 hours a day...", but the feeling I had was that each of them would gladly have won a little less in exchange for a life that was even just a tiny bit less miserable. But above all, the feeling is that they’re STILL afraid of him! There are some teammates who even today seem to measure their words and feel the need to clarify, "Yes, it’s true, a couple of times he told me he’d fuck my mother’s corpse because I didn’t grab a rebound, and yeah, I might have been a bit upset at the time, but Michael was a really good person."
