Trey Parker South Park: Il Film
Voto:
Honestly, I belong to the Simpsons camp, I'm sorry. Some ideas are interesting, very vulgar but that's fine. However, I agree with Poletti, too blunt in South Park, it doesn't suck like Family Guy, but it's not as good as the Simpsons, at least it doesn't have as many layers of meaning. However, the episode about The Lord of the Rings (I think it was censored in Italy and never aired) is worth it.

Well, calling Albini the "producer of Nirvana" is a bit of a disrespect and at least a historical oversight. I like both Patton (not so much when he recycles himself, also because I don't think he's the genius they want us to believe he is, but he was great in the past) and Shellac (less, but I recognize their importance, like Big Black, the rest I don't acknowledge). But what interests me is: HOW WERE BATTLES? I would have come just for them, but the price was too high. Anyway, there's a live video of Atlas already on YouTube.
Richard Donner The Goonies
Voto:
"Goonies is a nice movie; it should be judged for what it is, for how engaging it is, for the historical period in which it was released, for the genre it belongs to, and for the nostalgia it can evoke." At this point, even this statement of yours should be scaled back. It is NOT objectively a good movie (in a general context, free from any nostalgic feelings). I do NOT find it engaging, definitely not now, and maybe at the time but Raiders of the Lost Ark was way better. It does NOT evoke any nostalgic drivel for me (and perhaps not even for Poletti), so is someone a critic just because they say that (not having a nostalgic attachment to the film) they analyze it for what it is now through the eyes of an adult? It's fair not to compare it to films that have nothing to do with it, and in fact, it does nothing for me even compared to other entertainment films I watched as a kid (like, I don't know, Ghostbusters or Robocop or Conan the Destroyer). Your comment assumes a lot of things, including the idea that taste is homogeneous and that we all have roughly the same age and therefore the same nostalgic attachments. And it seems clear that this is not the case at all.
Battles Mirrored
Voto:
@Fest: I know I might be overstating things out of enthusiasm (I can already feel it fading compared to the early days, but I still have to buy it and I've got the poster of the cover next to Blows Yr Mind by Baby Woodrose), however, like many others, I haven't heard much groundbreaking stuff in the last 6-7 years (old reissues aside), certainly not from Lateralus (I repeat, it’s light-years better than aenima). I meant something that goes beyond the usual revivals, or anyway, from music whose roots are easily identifiable or even laid bare in the liner notes. I don't mean to say that high on fire, or other heavy psych offshoots (but this applies to almost everything I’ve always downloaded) lack dignity, but we must admit these are sounds indebted to a specific past. This album caught me off guard in a positive way; maybe many hear a lot of influences, but to me, it remains not exactly new, but less familiar than the rest. For example, I adore the two albums by Gris Gris, but I know they are quite derivative, so even though I enjoy them more than Battles, they mean less from a general perspective. Then again, one can be mistaken, that’s for sure, especially because I’m a long-time revivalist and it was almost by chance that I downloaded this album which didn't reference any interesting names, present or past.

You're such a nerd! It's no longer cool to remember the names of the tracks! You have to be vague and pretentious to be part of the "In" crowd...

the third of Yesterday's gives me multiple erections and pollutions, one of the best records of early hard rock I've ever heard, better than Josefus, Groundhogs, May Blitz, Leaf Hound and my ziaincariola!

Damn, you caught me off guard... how about you get a damn internet connection at home like everyone else? Do you live in a cave? Did you get evicted and are squatting in holes? Or are you just hanging out in Zagarolo?
The Crazy People Bedlam

You may have exaggerated a bit, Lord, huh? They have been the driving force for many bands, but I doubt they were the first musical group... sure, maybe there were more artists touring with backing bands, but perhaps it was something different. The idea of the perfect career is very little objective and very subjective. For me, it’s a bit about others and lows; let it be and the white album for example don’t drive me crazy...
Quentin Tarantino Grindhouse - A prova di morte
Voto:
In my opinion, Kill Bill was monstrously pretentious and cleverly rode a Japanese cultural wave in the States that peaked during that time. I can hardly bring myself to watch it again, and the anime part of O-Ren always pissed me off, it was super pandering and just cashing in on the studio IG from Ghost in the Shell... but I know I’m too deep into this to expect everyone to have the same reaction as I do. However, Eletto, I don't understand how you can say that people were dressing like Mr. Brown at the time of the movie, considering you were at most 6 or 7 years old? I remember that only a handful of people knew about Reservoir Dogs, and that after Pulp Fiction there was a boom (not with Kill Bill, for sure). There was a resurgence of fame after Jackie Brown and the return with Kill Bill for the generations that had missed the Pulp Fiction era.
