Victor, you wrote:"The story was banal and trivial, artificial and tired."
"Lemon's false teeth dominated, he overacted"
"Pachino was his usual idiotic loud and empty self..."So bloody typical of you. No wonder I consider it a complete waste of time to post here on what has become your personal bully pulpit (second only to the Outside forum).
Victor, I can't recall the last time you had a single good thing to say about Hollywood movies and the American public that goes to see them... in fact, you seem to get your rocks off by trashing anything even remotely mainstream, and worse, make hugely false and denigrating generalizations like those above on a regular basis. Have you ever considered that when you piss all over a film that is beloved by millions of moviegoers over several generations -- Casablanca, for instance -- that perhaps it is YOU that has the problem, and not the rest of the world?
Please, if you are so contemptuous of American films, do us all a favor and stop watching them or at the very least spare us your negativity and quit posting about them.
Follow Ups:
I too, disagreed with Victor about Casablanca - please see that exchange for a civil discourse on the matter, as opposed to telling someone to "Shut up". I also disagree with his take on "Glengary Glen Ross" - I think it was a very good movie. AND I'm sure as time goes on, there will be more disagreements. But that's what makes it interesting.
I gave at the office!
:o)
I like Victor's posts. That being said, though, I have to agree with Dave that since Victor hates just about all contemporary American films, his posts don't really add to the discussions.We should force Victor to watch Hollywood films like the rehabilitation program in A Clockwork Orange. Soon he will vomit when he sees Tarkovsky's Solaris and clap with delight at the sight of George Clooney's bare ass in the remake. To be followed by his daily posts counting down the days until Terminator 3.
Dr. Hibbert at a Hollywood romantic comedy on the Simpsons: "I thought that she was going to pick the snob."
It is the case of the stolen promise, TA... from the distance it looked much better... like a dream, actually. I am still in love with American films, but unfortunately almost all the ones I like come from the previous era.I like your idea of force feeding, but I am already doing it, watching many of them on TV when I am all by myself. Last night I saw that real marvel with Molly Ringwald (whome I actually like, although don't quite know why) called "Not Another Teen Movie". Watched most of it, anyway.
Again personnal attacks, why not just debate about the contend and the why´s and how`s.
But watch yourself, I think he gets off on unnecessary roughness. :o)AuPh

to Russia ?
How can you make some critics of the wonderful Hollywoodian paradise, and the smart kids looking at...
Back..back to the USSR....
are you going to apologize? I almost never agree with Victor, however I think he does not offend anybody. Please apologize and keep this board free of xenophobia.

You totally miss the point, and you had me to find out who is Mr. Lott .
Of course it was irony, as if you would look in more frequently you should have know,that Victor & I agree more often , that not, culture and good taste have always a price.
And YOU, should know me better, shame on YOU.
Patrick .
Sorry, maybe I should be the one doing the apologizing; to you, rather than Vic! :o)AuPh

I am well past that stage.Sorry Dave, I shall continue expressing my views on Hollywood and... shall we say... the insignificant "the rest of the world"?
