One of the most talented guitar players of all time. Listening to his music for the first time was a revelation: the dude can frigging play Holdsworth like nobody's business. Matteo is still very young and developing even further, so it's going to be highly interesting to see what direction he will choose to go with his special talent.

18.6. One of the weakest Pixar films I have seen in years. This is more like an aimless summer film where stuff just happens without a coherent plot. But here's the thing: Luca feels like a very rushed film where the creators forgot to add some vital details, like who are these sea men, what do they actually do, why do they turn to human and why any of this stuff happens, you know, to really flesh out the characters. At times the story feels very absurd because of these strange plot holes, like the sea people parents go around splashing people in public to find their kids while knowing that the people around them are afraid and want to kill them all if they happen to see them. It makes no sense at all. Then there's the villain. I mean if your story is supposed to be like Totoro where the aimless childhood summer is the whole point, then why have a villain at all, makes little sense to me. Not just that, but the villain is cheesy as hell, one of the weakest I have seen since at least Frozen. I'm probably starting to repeat myself already, but I don't like the art style. I've read that they tried to imitate Hayao Miyazaki and Ghibli, but it all looks like that crappy "CalArts" style that's everywhere nowadays. Sure, it looks childish and works fine in this context, but I still don't like it. They don't really do anything too non-realistic to justify making this a super expensive animated feature instead of fancy live action, so I think the whole thing is kinda pointless.

16.6 This has to be the worst book I've read in ages. It's supposed to be about former Finnish president and her policies, but within the first 200 or so pages she is only mentioned maybe once or twice. The rest is just endless jargon of names, numbers, questionable and sensational claims, anything that would make a good headline to sell this garbage. About Tarja herself there isn't anything new, she was very controversial figure even back in the day and everything was public even when she was in power, so that's about it.

12.6. A man must know his own profession. This is one of the best and most comprehensive studies on the subject matter, relatively easy to read and gives a clear picture of many niche areas of mathematical science.

13.6. Some may disagree, but this film is a work of visual poetry. I didn't understand it at first back in the day, but now it's clear as a crystal, I can see what they were going for. For example, Clayton is an embodiment of typical idealistic old-school adventure hero who's in for fighting the beast and savages alike for the sake of what he believes to be right, but as an ironic turn he only brings the savagery with him. He is thus no different than the leopard seen before, just a beast in man's clothing. Since the story is all about the relationship of man and nature, he is quite ironically the biggest antagonist of the story despite his true beastly nature and at the end he only succumbs into his own bloodlust despite being warned by Tarzan. Man can thus be the most dangerous and most emphatic animal of all, not just towards the nature but towards himself and other people. It's a jing-jang thing, free will and stuff.

12.6. If Lilo & Stitch was supposed to be a cheaper Disney film, then this cost only half of it. And most of that sum must have gone to the actors and visual artists alone, since the story is kinda lame. According to the writers this was originally supposed to be King Lear with bears, similar to what Lion King had done to Hamlet, but the screenplay went through multiple changes and they had to settle on this little messy thing.

12.6. This film was originally designed to be a cheaper and more simple Disney flick, and maybe that's the reason it has so much charming personality and balls to get rid of all the usual Disney cliches. It is very lighthearted and fun, but very unique and well made.

8.6. One boring summer day and nothing to do, so I had to binge watch this thing right away. And boy, is it good! It's basically a love letter to every classic superhero comic book story ever, but because this is all new they didn't have any burden of history to keep the drama down. The end result is class A action drama with blood and gore, world-class actors and animation. This might be the best new animated series of 2021.
