Yes, but maybe it's us who picked the wrong place! :-)

Vasco Rossi Vado al massimo

The review/caricature is hilarious, I’ve never listened to the album but I know the title track, and at least there Blasco managed to be likable, which he certainly doesn’t succeed at anymore. As for the rest, I agree that Rock is to Vasco what figa is to Renato Zero.

Great director to keep an eye on. I have also seen "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring" and "The Samaritan," both of excellent quality.

Well, let's say that the Old Testament has been pushed way, way to the background. I'm waiting for the day when they'll read in church the story of the two sisters who get their father drunk to get pregnant, or the one about the king who, during a siege, gets hit on the head by a pot thrown by a woman and orders his servant to finish him off so it's not said that he was killed by a little lady.

Yes, perhaps it won't provide exhaustive answers, it won't be that deep, but at least it doesn't use the verbose language typical of those films that want/believe they are saying something important, and it's enjoyable to watch.

Let's say "ex aequo" and it's all settled! ;)

Nine Inch Nails The Fragile

Well, actually the latest works of EN are a bit less brilliant; they suffer from a touch of excessive intellectualism and have lost the "physicality" of the past. Nonetheless, I prefer them to the grandiosity of "The Fragile" and the affected malediction of Reznor. Just as you are bothered by the untouchability of EN (though I wouldn’t say that, given that they get more criticism than praise with each album), I’ve been bothered by the aura of an epochal masterpiece surrounding this record (which, for me, is anything but). It was enough for me to read Tzunami's scandalous panegyric in the other review to feel the urge to write another one that highlighted an opposing point of view. And I’m the first to admit that it didn’t turn out particularly well and that I could have presented my arguments better.

A) God does not exist; B) God exists but is evil; C) God exists but is incomprehensibly (to us) good. All hypotheses I too had thought about. For sure, if He exists, He is not like we have imagined—this is at least certain for me. You've made me want to read "The Brothers Karamazov"...

Depeche Mode Some Great Reward

"Somebody" is a song about the desire to be loved and indirectly about loneliness; so far, nothing wrong, in fact, but musically it remains the most Sanremese piece in the DM discography.

Francis Ford Coppola Apocalypse Now

Perhaps it doesn’t make sense to say it’s the best film about the Vietnam War since the conflict is more of a "background" to the main story, which is the human one of the two protagonists. However, it is a truly great film.
