Here s4doll has summarized what my initial comment was too modest to rewrite... damn guys, do they still teach Italian in school?

On a technical level, she's already been schooled; the problem is that next time I want not only a nice package but also some damn substance. Film-wise, I really hope not.

Damn, it seems written using Babel fish. The plot is a horrible thing from how you describe it, I was hoping it would be something historically more relevant to the true story of the Hashashiyyin, which is also very interesting and about which I read quite a bit about ten years ago.

I was just thinking lately that my judgment on the album has changed. It's actually quite nice, one of the quirky pop things from recent years that I liked the most. And if we compare it to the last horrible album, this one stands out as a masterpiece! The new one is among the ugliest things I've heard lately.

the wolf eyes taken and brought back the next day (stuff from at least 5 years ago?). The talk about neo kosmische I read in Blow Up (incredible, I ended up buying an issue of Blow Up, I can't believe I've stooped this low), and it annoyed me so much that I couldn't listen to the record without a veil of anticipatory boredom. My fault, obviously.

So I watched it last night (Christ, at 8:30 it was all packed on a Monday). The review is a bit exaggerated, but I also find very little substance in the sci-fi movies of the last 15 years (not surprisingly when technology became accessible to everyone). I don't understand where you see Yattaman or Goldrake in the battle mechs (which are at most a self-citation from Aliens), and the dialogues are truly pathetic. However, taken as a "genre film," letting go a bit and setting aside sometimes glaring inconsistencies, it does its dirty job. That is, almost 3 hours that pass quickly, devastating visual impact, almost perfect beasts and machines. So if I had to rate it as a "film," it would be a 4/10, but as an entertainment product, an 8/10. About 3D: it’s the first time I’ve seen a movie with these crappy glasses worth a dime. The initial impact is tremendous (Burton’s Alice trailer is spectacular, and even the first scenes of Avatar), then, I think because the eye gets used to it, it becomes "normal" and not very different from the 2D viewing. However, I suspect that a good half of the visual impact is due to the 3D.

I have the latest Emeralds, but I’ve never managed to get past 10 minutes of conscious listening; I immediately plunge into catalepsy.

I bought it in the vinyl reissue 3/4 years ago, I can't wait for it to arrive! At least I'll get to hear Hell's Angels Cracker Factory in its entirety. The triple album that encompasses the beginnings is brutally truncated!

I found it for two lire, but unfortunately, that feeling I had years ago remains, namely that I connect little with these 90s Lips. What a shame.

Thank you, kosmo, you made me shed a tear remembering the concert and that time in Tokyo. They should come back with Williamson on guitar and redo Raw Power. But what courage after Asheton's death.
