Years ago, I bought the reissue of their "Too Late To Pray" sight unseen in a super deal for 9 euros: money definitely well spent! Ignorant, filthy, and vigorous medal. This one, on the other hand, I've never heard. You’re good.

I want to exaggerate: (Y)(Y)(Y)(Y) and that’s the end of the discussion.

I read a review where it received a 10/10 and was considered one of the greatest films of all time (I don't remember the article exactly, but if I'm not mistaken, there was a somewhat surreal comparison to Apocalypse Now...). As far as I'm concerned, it's a good film, entertaining with stunning photography, good ideas at the screenplay level, and a flamboyant Clooney who might not be to everyone's taste, but I like him. Among the best of the brothers (or rather, among my favorites of the brothers), however, I would place others...

In fact, I saw Ladykillers in the cinema and I really hated it. "First, I'll marry you" etc., in my opinion, has a good first half hour and some charming ideas (like the restaurant dinner scene when they order wine, or the appearances of the elderly founding member of the law firm...), but it crashes tremendously in the second half and becomes, in my opinion, one of the worst things they've ever shown.

The two thugs enter the house armed with a rifle, encounter a guy on the stairs trying to stop them, attack him, throw him down the stairs, the guy screams, they go up, open the door, enter the room, have time to aim their rifles, take aim and shoot, and in all this, the Scanners (superior beings endowed with mental powers that allow them to control human minds and access the most inaccessible secrets of a mega computer simply by using a pay phone...) don’t notice anything and get slaughtered like defenseless lambs while they repeat with big smiles on their faces, "No one can harm us if we stay united." It’s not (just) a matter of plausibility or narrative coherence. The whole scene is a stretch and is - more or less unintentionally - ridiculous. I never said they should have foreseen the future (tell me where I wrote that, please), but just realize that while they’re there having the most useless self-persuasion session in history, chaos was happening outside the room. I’m not the one being presumptuous. You are the one who, quite simply, hasn’t understood a damn thing of my point. Or you’re too stupid to see the ridiculousness of that scene.

I mostly agree with everything. A decent film that unfortunately never really takes off as it should, that fails to drive the knife all the way in. Well-crafted, well-shot, but not always effective. Potentially a great movie. In the end, all things considered, it's pretty harmless.

I liked it. The actors were all in great shape (except for Hirsh, who I really don't like: I enjoyed it quite a bit when he got kicked in the face), and some scenes were shot beautifully. It’s nice to notice how every scene with Dottie ends with a line from her that hints at, not exactly "a dark side," but a sort of "fertile ground" where evil can only take root (Dottie herself, from the very beginning, talks a lot about "pure love," but then doesn't flinch when it comes to killing her mother...). One could really delve into what evil truly is in this film: Meccouni, the killer cop? The greedy boy? The foolish father? The bitchy stepmother? Damn, what a loaded question full of tension...

At least the first hour - hour and a half is perfect. I might have liked a deeper exploration of the three brothers, but seeing where the film is heading in the second part, I’d say it’s fine as it is. The second part, however, bored me a bit, I confess. Essentially because it could have been a good half hour shorter. Almost the entire part in Candieland - including the trip there - is unnecessarily stretched and verbose. When Candie puts on that crazy performance before throwing poor Dartagnan to the dogs and Django intervenes saying something like, "He’s just tired of hearing you play with that nigger," well, I would have wanted to go to Mississippi to shake his hand. In the second part, things happen that make little sense: all this crazy mess to keep hidden the real reason they are in Candieland, then, when they're discovered, it all resolves into "Okay, let’s sign a contract." The false ending and the last 20 minutes seem more like an excuse to show how fat and disgusting Tarantino has become rather than a result of a genuine narrative necessity. I’ve skimmed through the comments on this page and, aside from the idiots who can’t help but confirm themselves as such in every circumstance, what surprised me most was reading "spaghetti western" so many times... Honestly, I wonder "where," "when," "how," and "why" it would be a spaghetti western, but maybe it’s just me not getting it.

When I was super into stoner psychedelic, I enjoyed Sonic Orb: not a masterpiece, as far as I remember, but not bad at all. The records from the earlier part of their career, on the other hand, I've never heard: definitely too far from my recent listening habits. You're good at talking about it.

What a lovely review! I read it with great pleasure, and it reminded me of my first encounters with Japanese comics from the early '90s. I confess I have a rather vague memory of the Granata publications: most of the issues have been sitting in the basement for over a decade, and many others I think I even sold at some fair. One that I really liked was Spriggan: I never found out how it ended. Then, well, with the nineties came a real invasion, and at least for the first few years, there was really a lot of great stuff, in my opinion. Nowadays, the only one I can still read with much enjoyment is Mitsuru Adachi and very, very little else. You’re really good, though.
