The Strawbs Grave New World

I don’t want to be a pain, but I’ve found very little avant-garde in here. I like it, but it doesn’t strike me as a masterpiece; at times it feels overly polished, anything but avant-garde. Oh, maybe I’m wrong, perhaps I’ll feel differently if I give it another listen today, but anyway, the impression I’m left with is that it was even a little too melodic for my tastes.

In many things, I agree with you, Sanjuro. I had a long discussion with a friend of mine about Scaruffi just yesterday, and in the end, I was furious. Even if it's a provocation, comparing this to thrillers makes sense; if you look closely, the underground is now very upground and cataloged, so if you don't like this, you're a loser and so on. Personally, I never read Scaruffi and I never read him when I was younger. He has a vision that very often does not align with mine, but the impressions written about the album are not influenced by Scaruffi, at most by Vittore Baroni, but not him. I read his review of Trout afterward.

and whoever touches the rock, it’s disgusting just to look at it, think about touching it…brrr…what a terrible image.
Tony Kaye American History X
Voto:
terrible because it left an impression on me, it was very violent and realistic. I really only have vague, unsettling flashes about it.

Damn, I even ate that Spam, worse than that shitty Simmenthal (along with that shitty kid whom I hope hasn’t reached adulthood). You can still find it in Japan.

I saw Romper Stomper as a teenager and I remember it being terrible; I would like to find it again. How do I do that?
Abel Ferrara Fratelli (The Funeral)
Voto:
A little curiosity: at the beginning of the film, when there are still flashbacks of the protagonists as kids, you can hear Alone Again Or by Love in the background... just this made me love the film.
Joel Coen Il Grande Lebowski (1998)

Fantastic, I left the cinema still laughing. Watching it again doesn't have the same effect, but it perhaps has the best soundtrack I've ever heard (with one of the best garage psych tracks - Just Dropped In - Capt Beffheart, Dylan, and so on). There's not a single character who isn’t fun, from Jesus, to the cowboy, to the nihilistic Kraftwerk types, to the better Goodman ("fuck, is there no one here who respects the rules!!!"). And there are memorable scenes, like Saddam putting on bowling shoes, or the ashes scene. The only flaw: the translation of the protagonist's name. What the hell does Drugo mean? I mean, borrowing a term from another film (A Clockwork Orange), or from a book if you want (which then seems to be a distortion of another Russian term, a practice Burgess employs in other parts of the book), to render the English Dude, a term used among Hippies, makes no sense. Of course, it’s very difficult to translate, actually nearly impossible. At this point, it would have been better to leave it in the original.
Russ Meyer Beneath The Valley Of The Ultravixens (1979)
Voto:
Associating Brass with Meyer indicates a lack of knowledge or understanding of Meyer. Do as you wish, but Brass is a sick pervert with no message other than having influenced the bimbo-slut mania of the last 15 years. This is one of my favorites along with Up.
Brian De Palma Scarface

I don't understand, Poletti... You say it became popular because it was rediscovered by 15-16 year olds later on? I saw it when I was very young, shortly after it was released on VHS, but it was already a small cult. Maybe you mean yourself when you say it was rediscovered by 15-16 year olds? Someone over 35 come to the rescue. Is it a posthumous cult? It doesn't seem like it to me.
