My name is Cédric Bozzi and this is my blog. Well… mostly, this is a rerun of all my tweets and the photos I publish on Instagram, but sometimes there might be an actual article or two.
I make websites and iPhone apps, try my best to own one of every item in Apple’s current product lineup, spend my entire life on the internet, and am looking for a flat in Paris.

Fantaghirò 3: Return of the King
Nice landscapes, nice special effects, action, fights, horses walking and running everywhere, it’s all very good, and the Minas Tirith battle is as excellent as everybody says, but… what about the script?
When I heard about The Lord of the Rings, I expected a great philosophical epic, full of teachings and dream and whatever, just not an action blockbuster without any surprises. But then, maybe a great philosophical epic would not become cult for legions of geeks — come to think about it, I have no idea why I expected so much better.
Fantaghirò indeed.
The worst part is, nobody dies and the end is as corny as the original Star Wars! (Yeah, I know the inspiration went the other way, but it doesn’t change the fact that such a “happy” ending after all this is ridiculous.)
And if someone could explain to me why Sauron doesn’t think of leaving a single orc to guard the Mount Doom entrance…
