In Reply to: That would depend, because CTHD was a fairly unique picture. posted by Audiophilander on August 31, 2002 at 05:50:39:
Hardly. Its major claim to fame was to reach the pinancle or boredom...Well, it failed even in that category.
Follow Ups:
FYI, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was a magnifiicent film; too bad you couldn't relate to it either from the standpoint of it's beauty, culture or allegorical content.BTW, I hope your wife's recovery is progressing well, and we're glad you're back, you old curmudgeon, you! :o)

***FYI, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was a magnifiicent film; too bad you couldn't relate to it either from the standpoint of it's beauty, culture or allegorical content.I guess I missed all three, didn't I? Oh well, there will be other films, I hope. Perhaps we simply have different definitons of "magnificent". But you have to agree - or *I* have to give you that, dunno... - that putting someone obsessed with swords to sleep was no mean achivement.
Sounds to me like the "allegorical content" is the last refuge of an inept hand.
Thank you for good words, I will forward them to the proper "authorities".
It is an inept fable ( fairy tale ) for brains who have nothing to loose...The " flying " scene were nicely done.....
Well Patrick, like I said, different strokes for different folks; perhaps you'll post something with a little less invective directed towards folks who like this movie when you've freed up your other hand.Regards,

ok..ok..do not take is so seriously...As a french from the south we always make it a little " bigger "..But it is my view of this picture and so it remains...
I saw that you like old series...do you have seen " The Prisonner " ?...this one I really did like !
PatrickPS: I have always have fun in hyberbole...not been invective ( or just at first glance) just agressively ( sometimes) funny...
... and doesn't seem quite as dated as most 60's era TV series. With only 17 episodes filmed the story arc remains fresh and varied; yes, I've seen them all.One old SF series worth checking out on just released DVD is the 1st season of Outer Limits (i.e., early 60's, B&W); not all episodes are good, but the writing and execution of some are as powerful as the day they were filmed. If I'm not mistaken, Harlan Ellison's "Demon With a Glass Hand" should be one of the first season epsiodes featured. If you've never seen this, rent it if it's available to you. Outstanding story and program.

No problem.
Sorry about mistaking your hyperbole(?) for personal invective. I suppose anything filtered through the internet is subject to being misunderstood. Unfortunately, I kept trying to find some element of humor or cheekiness to your post, but none presented itself. We'll just chalk it up to miscommunication.
Cheers,

Hope your wife's recovery is going well.We need you back here to contribute film reviews. Did you catch Rachel Portman on a repeat of Isaac Mizrahi's Show today (finally, a reason for a guy to watch the Oxygen Channel)? Attended public schools, no acting classes, stunning.
Thank you Steve. No, I didn't see that one, as we watch even less TV these days. Rachel Portman... hmmmm, I recall her Ratchatcher - a remarkable film, but can't quite remember her music.For some strange reason most of our films lately have been Russian, so even though there were some quite interesting ones, they would be of, shall we say, very limited interest to this group. On the bright side is the fact that the average quality has been quite decent, with some simply marvelus. I mentioned to Dmitry the "Fortuna" by Georgi Daneliya, every film by whom is an event. Well, I would probably exclude his "Kin-Dza-Dza" (1986) from that list, but if you happen to stumble over any of his works, most definitely get it. I suspect some of it has been released here, as he is a tremendous director. His "Osennij Marafon" is available from Amazon (not his most colorful film, but a great one if you can delve into the Russian life of that period). His "Don't Grieve" and "Mimino" are part of the world classic and a must for every movie buff.
We also saw a bunch of unremarkable French and Italian films, their names now escape me
I meant NATALIE Portman.
Quite a slip. Did you see the pictures of Natalie in the LA park with her arm up to an elbow in her pants? Looked like she was desperately trying to catch some crawler there.Why is that that so many beautiful actresses look so decidedly awful off the screen? Audrey wasn't like that!
> > Did you see the pictures of Natalie in the LA park with her arm up to an elbow in her pants? < <Sounds like a photo for a documentary: "In Search of George Michael."
On the TV show, she and Isaac were giving her dog, Harry, a bath.
