Hello there!
(By the way, I've "INCONSEQUENTIAL TALES" on order but little hope of ever seeing it because of the merry behaviour of Italian mail service often spiriting parcels away. Shall I have to burn herbs to Hermes, the god of connection as well as transgression?).
Anyway, I've been unable to see horror movies in recent times, since the Right Wing party took the political lead. It's not exactly censorship, rather it's sort of exiling because of which I'd have to drive for hours by map and on-the-road instructions in order to reach that far off in the country little village movie-theatre. Maybe I am a being a bit paranoical but I am led to the dire suspicion of some unspoken collusion between the Guv'ment and the Vatican City which would have people only watching "Marcelino Pan Y Vino" (an old Spanish religious pic) sort of movie, for the benefit of the Christian soul. Am I to expect to be able, or even obliged, to see educational films only, or American juveniles? Is something rotten in Denmark? (Read "Italy", of course). I am fervently hoping they will let me see the oncoming "ORPHANAGE". Bye, everyone!
Yours, Giancarlo |

That sounds awful, Giancarlo. Can you get dvds? (though it isn't the same)
BTW it's compulsory for newbies to post a list of their fave books and films... |

I'm quite surprised by that. Is it affecting other media too? |

Hi every one!
Yes, I can still get horror DVDs but it's preposterous almost any newspapers-stand can sell hardcore, independently of the buyer's age, when new horror movies are banished to suburban areas. It seems I can see "The Orphanage", at last, showing somewhere in Rome! Is it not surreal? I believe it's not a matter of "sur" being the prefix here , it's the "real" that's playing the suffix here. Everything is SUR before being REAL, whatever the latter means! There is no real unless it's surreal. My favourite book is "Alice in Wonderland", of course, as my psychological survival guide. We can't be here unless we are mad.
