I cherish the memory of the first two albums (+ Siamese Dream) and Pisces Iscariot; as I mentioned in my reviews, I liked Mellon Collie a lot, but now I find it quite tacky. Well, the Smashing were like that, but Mellon was a bit of a show-off, and after seeing them in '96, I gave up. I think I remember one song from Adore and then nothing. @Alessio: when Machina was released, were you 13? So that means you're under twenty now? Maybe you need a few more years of listening before you start shooting blanks... anyway, for some things I agree with you, and I can understand why a lot of people hate them. I listened to them as a teenager when they came out, so I'm attached to them, but I admit they can be annoying at times.

Is small stone getting into the kraut electro revival? Stikezz! Forget about the incoming Titan reviews and purchases since I’ve been munching on it for two months already... actually, enough because it’s kinda getting on my nerves. I have the first Mammatus and the same for Earthless, but both are average stoner stuff, meaning not much new even within the narrow confines of the genre. But Earthless is better. Zodiacs, Tivol, Solar Anus, what do you think? Anyway, at the moment one of the best releases in the scene is Boris with Kurihara from Ghost... really nice.

It seems to me that there's a lack of understanding here... I get that the film can hold nostalgic value and might be rated 5/5 (for me it’s not, I preferred Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, and Ghostbusters, and even that crap Mr. Crocodile Dundee, but I understand that everyone has their own cult films). The point is, I believe there are better films within the genre. Of course, it shouldn’t be compared to Amarcord or any great film, that would be foolish. Just because many people here like it, does that mean I can’t express that, from the perspective of a thirty-something, I think it’s crap or something along those lines? If someone thinks that way, do they have to be some rigid intellectual? I don’t get it.

I managed to talk about Jeeg's enemies during the discussion because their kingdom was named after the Mythical Japan, Yamatai.... from a certain point of view, it's quite satisfying....

My comment was an inside joke for those who were on the site a couple of years ago when, fueled by the neologism lagna-rock, it was enthusiastically included among the de-generi. Honestly, I remember little or nothing about Wilco, and it seems to me it's really from Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Menomena were highly recommended by Pitchfork earlier this year, so after reading the review, I avoided them… what do they actually do?

Ok bodhisattva (yeah, but which one of the many? Avalokiteshvara, Samanthabadra, Manjusri... okay, end of the stupid joke) we're there, I agree with what you wrote. Regarding what you didn't understand, let me explain better since the previous concept had holes in both the bow and the stern. I meant that with mass commercialization, in a socially struggling context, where hunger is present and visible, an artist, even if incredibly talented, might throw their self-respect out the window and, just to sell (therefore becoming "someone," whether for visibility or the objective financial benefits that come from it), artistically compromise themselves without much moral consideration. I don't think that if a Mongolian singer were offered a million-dollar contract for an English album with a crappy beat (while they might be singing in Mongolian with traditional instruments and a yak in the background), they would say: "No, I would never abandon my Mother Tongue for you tea-drinkers, fucking colonialists without bidets and with carpet in the bathroom!" I don’t think so... That's why I say that apart from the countries where the average income is high (where someone can afford to be an artist because they might live off it or if things go wrong, find another job... not talking about Italy), in the remaining part, there’s a chase for fame = money, disregarding artistic pretensions. There are exceptions, of course; I don’t mean to present a totalizing discourse, far from it.

I wrote a thesis that was anything but nostalgic; it was about the cyborg in Japanese sci-fi imagery. Do you think they would have let me write a thesis praising Mazinga & Co. to the skies? Rightly so, no. You can only talk about cultural phenomena of this kind if you strip away the cloak of nostalgia that envelops them, applying general socio-anthropological concepts to the specific case, without necessarily making it seem "interesting" at all costs. If this film or others in the genre were analyzed in the same way, it would be the same situation; the important thing is objectivity. Then in the subjective realm, anything can be written and said, and in fact, I don’t criticize lightly, I just share my point of view. Moreover, the flaws of many anime are relative to their function of entertaining, which tends to fade away in adulthood, something that films like The Goonies can still retain. But the themes explored by some anime make them much deeper than they appear. And fundamentally, that’s what I highlighted in my thesis to justify and exemplify a Japanese social dynamic. Well, let me work!!!!

Well, I think this time Poletti is right... @vivis: of course if it comes on TV I'll take a look, but if I have to judge it as a film, it's just a bit more than nothing. In my opinion, it's important to look at childhood things with a bit of detachment, not to condemn them but also not to glorify them. In cinema as in music. Otherwise, we remain eternal nostalgics living in the past. Even I get excited when I think about Jeeg Robot d'Acciaio, but to be honest, it's not great as a cartoon... and I remember that many animes have aged muuuch better than a lot of cinema aimed at child and teenage audiences in the '80s.
