Invite Wording For Jewelry Party

150 years down the drain? Film

Ieri guardavo il tg e vedevo i funzionari giapponesi inchinarsi di fronte alla bandiera prima di parlare al pubblico.
Poi vedevo funzionari italiani disertare l'aula appena iniziava l'inno di Mameli e andare al bar a prendersi il cappuccino.

Sono perplessa.

Strong Antiadipose Tea

not have a place

Penso che inizierò una nuova rubrica con questo titolo. La palma d'oro dell'inutilità, per quanto mi concerne, andrebbe assegnata senza dubbi a Van Helsing , ma il mio incontro con quell'accozzaglia di mostri, urla e momenti sdolcinati totalmente random risale a molti anni fa ormai, quindi sarebbe anacronistico parlarne oggi.

Today, however, I would like to talk about Rank .
Rango is an animated film westerns, advertised focusing on the fact that, in the original, the voice of the protagonist is Johnny Depp. All beautiful, pity that in Italy is quite pointless because obviously the film is dubbed in our language.
Putting aside the (I guess) amazing performance by Johnny, what are we left then?
Nothing. Let's say there's a vague plot, with a number of situations that sometimes seem a bit 'disconnected with each other, developing a limp and a hasty end. The characters are all animals, so we're already in the realm of the surreal, yet the writers riescono a inserire, verso la fine del film, un momento di surrealismo nel surrealismo, che ti fa storcere il naso e dire "ma non è credibile!" (Dirò soltanto: cactus? Davèro?)
Essendo un film di animazione ci si aspetterebbe quantomeno di ridere, e invece ci sono appena tre o quattro situazioni buffe, che al massimo strappano un accenno di sorriso. Ovviamente, siccome i film di questo tipo non possono affidarsi solo al brillante umorismo (ah ah) ma devono anche avere una morale stile Disney (ma poi PERCHE'?), ci dobbiamo anche sorbire il momento serioso in cui si fa filosofia spicciola su "chi siamo, dove andiamo, cosa ci stiamo a fare al mondo". FINE.
Otto euri per 'sta roba? Macchèscherziamo? And I've also seen in the second row, as the hall was full, with all its attachments and the related case (stiff neck, anyone?).

How To Make Leaf Vacuum

LOST!

damn JJAbrams Lost and damned. Even after months of the end (inglorious) of that show could have been a masterpiece, but it was not because JJ is not able to stop when they should still not be able to explain it. Last night a friend of mine who had never seen asked me, 'but what about Lost? ", And my response was something like:" Well, a plane crashed on a desert island, then it is not entirely deserted because there were people who were there on an expedition science, and the survivors are having to deal with strange things including polar bears and smoke monsters. And then there are other survivors, and then there's a French chick who was there for years ... and the island can be moved in time and space, turning a big crank. In the first two seasons there are flashbacks, then start the flash forward, and last there is a flash-lateral and then a sort of limbo because they are all dead. "
do not know if it will look.
