And then they say that on TV they never do anything good!

A masterwork inerrably crafted with a Sylvester Stallone beyond the paroxysm of talent or bromide: it's the same. He’s a superhero - who would have ever imagined him in that role! - somewhat aged, who socializes with a kid (with the dog being the worst misfortune of a film) who thinks he's too senile to fight the current gang of villains; led, of course, by the usual operetta Villain, as I always say.

I'm at the beginning of the second half: and I have no idea how this thrilling story could end!

Ingrandisci questa immagine

Speaking of "Horrible Covers" (which I adore!), this is actually a Folder; so it doesn't fall into the category. But thinking of my friend Carlo Sgorlon - rip - seeing his homeland described this way really gets to me.

It's not something old: they printed it this morning and even asked for my opinion.

Because (aside from that time I shot a television) why don't I go around armed?
 
I recently rewatched "The Hateful Eight," an amazing film Jennifer Jason Leigh – Jim Jones at Botany Bay (feat. Kurt Russell / The Hateful Eight) In the following scene, bounty hunter John Ruth (Kurt Vogel Russell) grabs and destroys the guitar that Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Leigh Morrow aka Jennifer Jason Leigh) was playing, which was an authentic "Martin" guitar from 1870 lent by the "Martin Guitar Museum" in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. In the original script, the instrument was supposed to be replaced by a replica before the scene of its destruction, but due to a misunderstanding, this was not communicated to Kurt Russell, who continued as scripted. Obviously, everyone on set was quite shocked by the event, and Leigh's incredulous reaction in that scene was genuine. According to sound editor Mark Ulano, "Tarantino was standing in a corner with a little smirk on his lips, satisfied with the performance he had gotten." Dick Boak, the director of the museum, described the damage as "irreparable" (as can be clearly seen in the film) and stated that he had not been informed that the guitar, or at least its replica, would be destroyed. Following the incident, the museum decided not to lend antique instruments to film crews anymore (and I guess, you know...) and that’s that...

Neil Young & Stephen Stills “Hung Upside Down” 10/05/24 Lake Hughes, CA Harvest Moon Benefit

Stills now looks like a redneck with beers and a belly, but how can you not love him? For over 50 years he and Neil hadn't played it...
 
Fausto Papetti - La dolce vita

It marked my life, my friends only danced to Fausto Papetti
 
The Television Personalities - 'Privilege'
Paradise Is for the Blessed
Tracks taken from "Previlege" from 2002, probably their last album worth listening to before everything goes to pieces.
Great but too often forgotten.
 
Carlos Puebla - Y en eso llego Fidel
With Fidel, there was also a man from Romagna, a former partisan, who would rush wherever there was a rebellion.
What a pity it ended like this.
 
SLOMOSA - Tundra Rock (Full Album 2024) Stickman Records Desert Rock (?) from Norway. It's worth a listen. The calls are the usual ones for the genre, but I always appreciate them. Well done!
