In Reply to: Never played pinochle or was that pinancle, ...oh well, different strokes I guess! posted by Audiophilander on August 31, 2002 at 21:25:14:
***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".
Follow Ups:
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.
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.
