WARNING: I can also be super-cheesy- Bring Your Own Bucket if you risk puking.Today I am glass, tomorrow I am a rock.Music is the miracle that keeps myself together and alive and saves me from myself. [ VVV "Io parlerò di noi (America)" VVV ] ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------- I am moody, and I make faces VVV (Yes, I'm being narcissist. So what? ;p ) Once a dancer always a dancer... You will wonder: does she never get fed up with riding that merry-go-round up there ^^? The answer is: NO. I'm not getting off!...And there's a limit to my patience...

(of course! =); - films with Fred Astaire - Flash Gordon; - Gone With The Wind; - Goonies, The; - Hamlet (by Zeffirelli); - Indiana Jones, (especially the first one); - Ivanhoe (the one shot in '82 featuring Olivia Hussey, not Liz Taylor ;) ; - Labyrinth; - La Vita è Bella; - Le fabuleux destein d'Amélie Poulain; - Legend; - Lord of The Rings, the trilogy; - Magnolia; - Murder by Death; - Neverending Story, The (the real one, not the sequel); - Non Ci Resta Che Piangere (with Massimo Troisi and Roberto Benigni); - Once Upon A Time In The West (!! mitico Sergio Leone and mitico Ennio Morricone together!!), the film that made me fall for Charles Bronson... *blushes*; - Pirates of The Caribbeans; - Romeo and Juliet (by Franco Zeffirelli); - Seven Brides for Seven Brothers; - films with TOTO' - Wuthering Heights (starring Timothy Dalton);Plus a touch of Travolta and Stallone here and there. [I can't believe I even said that!...]The majority of films and series portraying super-heroes like Batman, Superman, Van Helsing, X-Men, etc...With a preference for Tim Burton's dark and involving atmospheres.And of course, Disney's cartoons, especially "SnowWhite".The death of Steve Irwin reminded me I love "Crocodile Dundee".I was also leaving out the Chinese film stream that is totally having a grip on me! See "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" and "The House of The Flying Daggers" to send your eyes on an orgy of colours and feels.See "Luna Papa" too. ..

Books:

If I had to mention 3 they would be:- "Ivanhoe", by Sir Walter Scott (my favourite love story); - "The Castle of Otranto", by Horace Walpole (castles, mysteries and lovers- how can you not be captured?!); - "Une Vie", by Guy de Maupassant (it touched me deeply when I read it; not to mention it's one of the first soap operas scripts in history).DANIEL PENNAC owns my mind's eyes. Whilst reading his books you're thrown in an endless whirlwind of images and concepts. Very cinematic. He's so good that I cannot read anything else with the same pleasure.ON MY LIST OF 'TO READ': "11 Minutes" by Paulo Coelho - DONE; "Skinny Legs And All" by Tom Robbins; "The Doors Of Perception" by Aldous Huxley; "No Time For Romance" by Lucilla Andrews.

Heroes:

Johannes Paulus II;Roberto Benigni;Gino Strada;Carlo Urbani;
