Nosebleed

Anyway, I also agree on the terrible translation of the title; it could have easily been "The Lords of Salem." And I add that The Devil's Rejects is quite good as well; it is also a film full of tributes to the classics of the genre but modern and original in many details. And it's wonderfully set in a deep, redneck South, desolate and deserted, populated by a few grotesque and monstrous human figures.

The rating for the film is the one I would have given, and it's also the one given on Roger Ebert's site. In the review, there are several things I agree with, and some I do not. I agree that the direction is the film's strong point, and it couldn't be otherwise given the obvious desire to create a "trippy" film, which is an obviously anachronistic choice. I disagree with the idea that the film needed a more solid and articulate plot and screenplay: first, it's a movie that relies on visions and thus lives off images and little dialogue; second, it is a clear homage to a type of outdated and kitsch horror that certainly doesn't shine for its quality or originality in writing; third, being a homage to the genre, it’s obvious that it must be filled with clichés from start to finish. It's a gimmick similar to Rodriguez's Machete, except that in that case the intent was even more obvious and no one would expect the film to have an original and articulated story. That said, the film in question has its moments of inspiration, but many times you get the feeling of facing a stylistic exercise full of quotes that feel a bit self-indulgent. I think the biggest limitation is that it is far too similar to Rosemary's Baby; certain characters and plot developments are practically interchangeable.

I meant to say that by giving too much space to the subjectivity of users at the expense of "critical" content, you end up turning it into a "bulletin board" where reviews are shared, transforming it into a city wall tagged excessively, where sooner or later everyone's contribution gets lost in the chaos. So far, it hasn't been like that, but for example, the de-sentiment system leans a bit in that direction, as it is not at all functional to the artistic content of the site. I say the risk is just around the corner because it’s difficult to maintain the right balance; from my point of view, however, it seems that so far it has been managed well. PS It has nothing to do with this, but I want to point out that I will be on a comment and review strike for a while in protest against the new homepage :-). I encourage users to also express their dissent.

I know him; nice, not exceptional. Cantrell could have also chosen to stop expanding from here on and let the name of Alice rest in peace. I find his "solo" albums very good, not the thrills like before obviously, much calmer stuff, but for this reason, in my opinion, they deserve more than the current Alice In Chains.

(I feel called into question) I don't know... for me, some excellent pages have been written... there haven’t been any nerds around at all. I, as I already said back then, would also have hoped for less space on the homepage for the section (a problem that with the current situation at least does not exist); it would have made things simpler. As for Brat, just shut up at least, since you even reviewed it after being such a pain in the ass. You don’t bite the hand that feeds you.

What a great observation, I too have noticed the tendency towards either the personal or the encyclopedic, and I also believe that without at least a touch of subjectivity, one can get nowhere, even though it is a commendable aim to want to reconstruct the facts in the most reliably possible way. On Debaser, the "user" component is very strong (some have referred to it as "an artistic-themed social network," which is quite a stretch) and I find the mix of intellectual aspirations and space for oneself to be beautiful, but also dangerous, I think: the LastFM risk is just around the corner. I don't know the work or the artist, but the pretext was sound, even though lately I’ve noticed a rise in meta-Debaser discussions and I’m not sure how positive that is.

No, then it's not the one I remembered; this one definitely seems more inspired by the book.

Fusillo, I think I've figured out which strip it is, beautiful! How do you know it is directly inspired by the book?

I know him obviously because of One, he has always intrigued me but I have never read it. Good job, Bartolomeo. But why is there the DVD cover?

The thing I love most about this one is her mother.
