Nice there. Santa Maria la Palma, what a winery! Damn, I had never heard of it, so it must be worth it, because in Italy, if you don't hear about someone, it means they are worth it.

Dante Alighieri?

I want sempolssss! I want Sam Paul! I want samples..

@ sanjuro: are you doing anything to reverse this trend?

There are several classical composers whose output can only be described as prolific, and Mozart is among them; in my opinion, he wrote WAY TOO MUCH relative to what he had to say as a composer. Now, let's take someone like Bach, a genius; he composed something like over a thousand works (I believe it’s around 1300, I hope I'm not mistaken). Consider the part of his vast repertoire that includes the fugues, an area where he excels: in fact, all the fugues he wrote (many) represent a kind of "work in progress" toward mastering that musical language to a nearly complete degree. However, you can't rate every fugue by Bach at the highest level because often the differences between one fugue and another become minimal. So, for me, there's this issue of redundancy. Nonetheless, let’s not forget that it's difficult to give less than a 4 to a classical composer because, after 200 years, we are only talking about the best, those who have stood the test of time and reached us through their brilliance. There were many more composers than just a Mozart, a Haydn, a Bach, a Purcell, a Vivaldi... there were countless, many of whom are insignificant and hardly talked about anymore. Those who have come down to us are the best, and giving them less than a 4 is usually quite tough.

Certo! Inviami il testo che desideri tradurre e provvederò a farlo.

Overrated? Can we talk about it?

You did a great job with this review. Fellini was genius with this film.

I see him about once every six months.

Seen in a cinema that looked like a shopping mall. How sad, they feel the need to include all these action concoctions and special effects to avoid boring people, so as soon as someone watches a somewhat more introspective movie, they fall asleep because there are no explosions or kung fu moves. They tack on the part where Spiderman plays the cool, conquering villain.
