It's always nice to know that there are people who think they hold the truth; it's something that brings me closer to God. When I reach Him, should I call you too, Luca?

Ah well, of course, how to compete with Faletti's keen irony and Ezio Greggio's social critiques, eh, well, I bow down to them every evening. Anyway, getting serious, it's obvious that it can also make you laugh, but I think and believe that a sense of humour is not only a primary quality of us bipedal humanoids but also a reflection of a person's sharpness and mental vividness. When I find myself with people for whom the pinnacle of humor is Boldi and De Sica, I wonder why they settle for so little. I want more; I may enjoy a crude joke, but since man (it seems) learns from experience, he should start to understand and anticipate the crude jokes at the beginning of a sketch. So I ask myself: If you already know where it's headed, how the hell can you laugh? There's no hilarity in the pointless reiteration of the same old clichés.

even worse then! It can't be a matter of taste; at 12, it's fine to laugh at nonsense, but by 16, one is expected to seek something more ironic (like the Broncoviz) and cynical. Unless someone has the same sense of humor from 12 onwards, which is not only undesirable but also unsettling.

I already know that I will have to thank you for this dear album, Vì... in the meantime, I'll make sure to grab it.

@hymn: I never said that; if it made me laugh back then (when I was 16), I don't believe it. It’s definitely less crude than the one you mention. And enough with searching for gold in the shit; for every hundred kilos of it, there might be a gram of gold, but in the process of looking for it, you end up surrounded by shit and adapt to it. Is it worth it, or is it just resentment towards someone who has, unfortunately, become a symbol of a certain left? It’s not an accusation, just a supposition you can refute.
Comets on Fire / Howlin Rain 5 Questions to Ethan Miller
Voto:
I need to listen to it again, superfuzz, but it didn't impress me at the time. Instead, thumbs up for the first one. You already know what I think about the latest Black Mountain, sometimes nice tracks, often cheesy stuff, a totally different band compared to their debut.
Comets on Fire / Howlin Rain 5 Questions to Ethan Miller

But are you the "real" Umberto Palazzo? Fuck, from Ancona to Pescara I can't find the time... fuck, fuck, fuck, I’d give a kidney to have a chat with Ethan (less to see the Howlin' given their last album). But if he breaks up the Comets, I’ll be pissed!

yes yes very funny at the drive-in, I still laugh in the REM phase and dream of the slaps from the burger vendor...if seen until the age of 12, it’s fun, otherwise it’s serious. And it was precisely the drive-in that marked the beginning of the televised sale of female meat. The beginning of the end.
James O'Barr Il Corvo (The Crow)

Well, you mentioned two of the comic book movies that annoyed me the most, Batman Begins and 300! About Sin City: for me, it’s the best adaptation, maybe even too much because it’s identical to the comic, panel by panel. The story is what it is; it should be understood as both a comic and a genre film, a hard-boiled one that is cliché for everyone, but I dare anyone to put all that violence on screen in a different way. I don’t know; I wasn't looking for complex plots, the characters are archetypal, and they are all cut out with a knife. Of course, it might not be to everyone's taste, but it’s a top-notch adaptation. Cpt: I didn't mean to imply that for you it’s a masterpiece; I inferred it from the 5/5 you gave, but you’ve put a bug in my ear. Think that back then, I was torn between manga and American comics; I had been obsessed for years with the X-Men, the first Spawn, The Maxx by Keith (who remembers it and the MTV America TV show?), only to arrive too late to Watchmen and regret all the money spent before because that comic was enough to lay the tombstone on superhero comics. As for manga, I remember the early Ghost In The Shell, Appleseed, Venus Wars, and other stuff from Granata Press and Kappa Magazine. Good times.
James O'Barr Il Corvo (The Crow)

I don't remember cpt as a masterpiece like that; I got it back then and even went to Rome to meet O'Barr, who, in the meantime, had kind of collapsed in the hotel and didn't show up! The guys from General Press were stunned. But I managed to get the autograph of a historic Marvel author (whose name I unfortunately forgot... maybe Romita Senior, since he looked like David Crosby now). I need to go recover that Crow. @S4DOLL: the best adaptation remains Sin City, no doubt.
