Cinema Paradiso. Original vs New Version
**Mild spoiler warning for both versions of Cinema Paradiso** Was watching the director's cut version of Cinema Paradiso (called the 'New Version') on DVD with my dad a few nights ago. Now already regarded as a classic, I've definitely heard of this 1988 Italian film (made in 1988, released internationally in 1990... I think) for a really long time, but never really had the opportunity to find either the chance, or the mood to watch it even though my dad has the DVD of the original for years.

ReplyDeleteYeah, she sort of is. I like Rum though. Her fucking NAME is RUM!
ReplyDeleteOf course, but Jewels' performance in that music video you posted negated everything that's cool about Rum.
ReplyDeleteOmfg... Jewels...
For real, how can you beat a name like "Rum"? Rum > Jewel. Jewel is too moody. I like happy songs and being ridden like a motorcyle.
ReplyDeleteI think for my next girl group, I will whip out a dictionary and give my artistes random nouns as names. My bassist is Bangle, my drummer is Vodka, my tambourine girl is Mussel and my lead singer is Chromium.
It's also unfortunate that there's another singer called Jewel around.
ReplyDeleteBut anyway, where the hell did that motorcycle quote come from? Was expecting it to be in the interview.
Listen very closely to the video, the quote is actually from that song.
ReplyDeleteOh.
ReplyDeleteI was too busy wiping drool off from my mouth at the sight of Jewels to really notice.
