In Reply to: Re: I'm racking my brain--and I can't begin to pull in on any Sandra Bullock.... posted by Ears on September 30, 2002 at 16:26:03:
She did give an excellent performance in this, and I like the film very much. Of course an excellent director (Steven Soderbergh) doesn't hurt. Everything else I've seen with her or SB sucked. IMO, Mrs. Piggy is right about SB's higher babe factor, though.
Follow Ups:
The story presented in that film was a total scam. People got screwed by Broko...etc.
After you read up on what really went down, you'll look at it in a different way.
I'll still look at it as a film, which is all that it is. I don't judge dramatic works on the basis of how true to factual reality they may be, because I don't have that expectation of them. Films do not, in my opinion, bear the responsibility of educating an audience. My enjoyment, or lack of it as the case may be, is in the art itself.
Dramatic works?
In that case they should've named the movie Helen Rozenbaum or Helen Choo. It's the spin machine that turned it up, hoisting her name and people[aka movie-goers] got taken. One can distance himself from Hitler in Olympia and view it as a student of cinema, then again one can't.--Films do not, in my opinion, bear the responsibility of educating an audience.
What about Educating Rita ? False promises?
I really don't think I got "taken" by enjoying the film, and I don't care what the title was. What about Educating Rita? I enjoyed it. Do I think that it is absolutely true to life? No. I don't distance myself from films. I am involved with them and affected by them in many ways, as I am by all art. But, I am affected by the REALITY of Hitler in a much different way. The reason is obvious.
--What about Educating Rita? I enjoyed it. Do I think that it is absolutely true to life? No.Good grief, David. It was a joke...
No offense, Dmitry. Guess I was in a sour mood.
I can't get past her acting--she is like a big concrete road block.
I find her to be a film destroyer.mp
But I have an aversion to fiction masquerading as non-fiction.
I don't, really. It's just a film after all. A good documentary should be a different matter.
It's pretty funny, you would think I won the Mrs. Universe Pageant, the way I carry on--but I'll go on ahead anyway because I'm getting crusty in my VERY early thirties;o).They are fair game though, being celebs (or aliens) and all.

That Erin B movie was OK. I would equate it with a decent made for TV show. I can't stand the way her cutsieness bubbles out of her tight clothes (it really does taint all the good in any picture she is in).

Julia Roberts is 100X more attractive than Sandra Bullock, IMHO.Both of them suck wind as actors, though. But in terms of eye candy, JR is way over SB.
Oh h-e-double toothpicks, I better stop right here.

They have that well scrubbed, healthy look....but somehow they elude the "Sex Symbol" moniker.They have Star Quality but their wheels are turning too much, for it to be attractive to me. Roberts is too much maintenance, it seems and not worth the "ride".
