how beautiful how beautiful how beautiful! I have absolutely no idea who this guy is, I didn't even know he won the festival, I haven't listened to the radio since suoni&ultrasuoni ended on radiotre years ago and so I've never heard and will never hear this stuff. And above all, I haven't seen a single minute of the festival since 2002. For once, I can congratulate myself. Even my brain thanks me for not making it work unnecessarily with useless temporary information. But like all temporary info, it stays dangerously inside me. Ah, useless memory!

This film smells a bit to me; I didn't go to see it even though it's playing right around the corner, and I don't think I will... partly because I don't know if it'll make me laugh, but more so because of the dubbing, as mentioned. I completely agree that some dubbed films lose their essence, especially smaller productions where the various amendola & co. don’t work. Not to mention anime (let's say from Miyazaki onwards). Incomprehensible dubbing, women's voices for men. And then there's Shaolin Soccer dubbed by that brainless Totti & co. Please, it's a silly film, but at least let’s not turn it into a farce from little Italy. I understand that reading subtitles can be a drag; in fact, I would remove them or at most have them in English. So I wouldn't say to eliminate dubbing, but to have screenings in the original language (which, a decade ago, used to happen quite often even in a hole like Ancona). Reading subtitles often makes you miss the fundamental part of a lot of cinema: the vision. Dubbing everything possible means that at a comprehension level for English, we are quite bad; not the worst (Russians and Japanese leading the way), but we are certainly in the top ten.

well, I heard it a couple of times yesterday... I don't know, the other one sounded (obviously) new to me, this one I know I'll have to listen to it on repeat to like it. but it seems like I would have to force myself to like it, so...

What really pissed me off the most in the economy of the story (in those more than a thousand pages, all the hints and characters ultimately have a specific and important role in the grand scheme of things as well as in the small details) isn't so much the lack of Bombadil (he really would have turned even the first film into a deadly mush) but rather the escape in the tomb lands (and here, however, the Bombadil problem comes back) that allows the dwarf hobbits to take up arms, one of which injures and makes the Lord of the Nazgul vulnerable in the third film. In the film, they leave the story hanging there. I mean, the king of the Nazgul, the baddest dude in Middle-earth, gets killed due to a linguistic misunderstanding. "No man can kill me"...,"I am a woman!".....I might be sexist, but that’s just bullshit!
The Beach Boys Pet Sounds

Well, anthem of the sun (honestly, I can't remember if it's 67 or 68) sounds less old to me than pet sounds. And anyway, perhaps among all the grateful, they are quite classic and thus difficult to update, I admit.
Mario Monicelli I Soliti Ignoti (1958)

I want Dante Cruciani's comment here right away or we'll kick him off the site! One of my favorite Italian films, even if it's just for Capannelle. But Cristobal de la Frontera, it should be a music site; I don't want to be a purist, but... considering that you write well and that lately the music reviews have been a bit crap. It's impossible to force you not to send them anymore, so I think we desperately need a split between music and films.

here is the link to the trailer of the puppet movie about good old Jackson. Well done, Nick, Heavenly Creatures was quite nice. But if you find Meet the Feebles, you’ll like it a lot.

Iommi is a very common surname in the Macerata area; could it be that it’s a quasi-local, Tony?

Fnac surprised me as well, a lot of kraut stuff, pretty rare box sets, etc. I’ll say hi to Tokyo on Saturday when I’m back for work.

Ouch, have you just started D&D? Congratulations... from '89 to '95 I did nothing but play RPGs. Then I got clean and picked it up again in 2002. I strongly recommend switching to Vampiri - i secoli bui, perhaps one of the few adult RPGs around.
