Soul is one thing, sweat and work are another. They are really two different things. Anyway, come down from your throne, my friend; it takes a lot of arrogance to write "you can't get there." Then, wanting to get ahead like you do, maybe you're not someone who lives on a throne, but that is what oozes from your comment.

everyone up to let them eat cake and pass the fear! I found it yesterday and I’ll listen to it during my next weekend of work abroad (7 hours of waiting at Charles De Gaulle, it’ll be the right time to catch up on those 30 albums I have pending). And let’s not even talk about the screwed-up MP reviews, if I had managed to do one in 6 years in here, and 15 of Norwegian militancy. I hate you all, obviously.

Well done, Ivo, but compared to the Broselmaschine I mentioned to you elsewhere, how do they compare? Similar? Not related at all? I saw Dusseldorf now, I can’t imagine how awful it was back then; if you weren’t playing, you were either dead or a junkie.

@bisquis: I don't understand why the remark about the Flemish museum would be considered snobbish. I’m quite a troglodyte, if it pleases you to know, when it comes to painting, and it wasn't even a subtle dig related to HIGH vs LOW art/culture, if that's what you meant. I could have said "I watch all the intros of Final Fantasy or other console games and it’s the same thing." That was the concept. Obviously, for the same reasons, one could criticize someone who dismisses the film outright (but be careful—I’m not doing that, and I’m curious to see it anyway), but both approaches are wrong. The point is exactly what you write afterwards. I don't care about the TECHNOLOGICAL turning point if it doesn't result in a product with a SOUL. That’s why I think that since technological means have allowed for things unimaginable just 10 years ago, science fiction cinema (which compensated for a lack of means with IDEAS) is now dead. I remember the buzz about morphing in T2—I was excited about it as a teenager too. Can you recall a subsequent film that used morphing and deserves to be remembered for that? Matrix comes to my mind, but besides that? It might be a monstrous technical innovation, but did it contribute to creating memorable films? I don’t know, I still believe that if technique and ideas (heart/soul/badassery) don’t go hand in hand, only "genre" products can be created, enjoyable only by enthusiasts of that niche (but even then, considering I've consumed a lot of science fiction since I was little). Ah, I don’t think I accused anyone specifically of prejudice, but you’re free to think that. If they name streets after Craxi, anything is possible.

As soon as the bunch of idiots that has been storming the cinemas in my city (3 3D theaters and ALL booked until this Thursday, just idiocy) calms down, I will drag my tired limbs to partake in the scheduled triumph of the "future" of cinema, going of course completely dazed from psychotropic substances that will make me truly believe it’s a good movie. Something I’ve been doubting since August, but it still needs to be experienced firsthand; otherwise, I couldn’t get mad at the cashiers at the end of the screening. Jokes aside, from the comments here and around the web, I already know what to expect, and I don’t like it. Still, I hope to be pleasantly surprised, but Cameron hasn’t made a decent film since Aliens (maybe at best Terminator 2). The only thing I’ve read in reviews and comments that already makes me angry is the fact that anyone who criticizes the film as a whole (visual and textual structure) is labeled as biased, arguing that it shouldn’t be judged by old standards...and similar nonsense. A film to be GOOD doesn’t have to be EXCLUSIVELY a visual delight; otherwise, I’d just go to a Flemish museum and lose myself in it. The thing is, a good science fiction film must also be stimulating (at least for me) in terms of plot. Too bad many here and elsewhere have grown up with a completely warped concept of science fiction, where only special effects matter and the underlying plot and ideas are second-rate. That’s also why no decent sci-fi film (I’m not saying GOOD) has come out since the first Matrix. This is part of the blame for all the garbage we’ve seen regarding science fiction in the past 12 years. I’ll see you next week after the viewing.

"It sounds like Simon Price and Wayne Coyne stumbled upon Robert Calvert's stamp collection." Look, if you had just written that sentence, the review would already be a 5. But like a real jerk, you add bruxism, so I’m not voting. I found this in the USA back in October and didn’t get it, regretting it as far as I can tell. Like Geb above, I’m trying to track them down.

beautiful master! As usual, I'll make a note of it (I have a certain idiosyncrasy towards a lot of Italian stuff from that time), and I'll review, as always, in a couple of years for the grades.

@Geb and Purpu: can I love you for the above comments?? Geb, because you like Blatto, who, even though I don’t always agree with the music he recommends, is one of the funniest (and especially self-deprecating) writers around. Purpu, because you like Pomini, who, even though his tastes differ from mine, has often suggested interesting stuff, especially in the folk realm. As for Baroni, nothing to say, either.
