***How one can view The Seven Samurai as a masterpiece and LoTR as anything less eludes me!Easy. The masterpiece draws you in, you want to continue watching it.
With the rest you want to switch the channel. I flipped chhanenls dozens of times on the Magnificent. One time is more than enough.
It will probably surprize you to no end that I shall side with Patrick on this one.

It is becoming an infernal situation, we MUST find some ways to agree NOt to agree as they so smoothly says....
I fell asleep on Seven Samurai the last time I tried to watch it all the way through; it was like Sominex or Solaris (either version)! Lord of the Rings, OTOH, was rich, riveting entertainment that has never bored me, my wife or our friends. In the case of Seven Samurai, I found myself needing to stretch, go to the kitchen to make sandwiches, take breaks and grind coffee to stay awake.Perhaps if I'd made my sandwich with Grey Poupon instead of spicy mustard I might've made it through Samurai again, but instead I found myself considering Harakiri! ;^)
It would have take the pain I would have to ...slowly but steadily strangle you....

It will come back as sharp one can be.
I promess.
...if your wit is anything like your whet-stone, how can I trust it? ;^)
