In Reply to: Give that monocle a day off, would'cha? posted by albee33 on February 07, 2004 at 20:00:27:
Can't say I enjoyed it much, though.
Follow Ups:
Or the film? Hehe, The guy playing Jaeger is quite good, in the first scenes in the desert ( It MUST have have start there my love with...) had some good atmosphere, then it turn out to be long and for collegians made.
Yes, Sam is nice, as are couple of other guys, but as a whole the movie is simply atrocious. It's got all the prints of the ridiculous made-for-American-TV docu-drama. I am a sucker for the air/space stuff, and I enjoyed it for the bits of trivia and facts, but man, as a film it is so far below par it is ridiculous. You take a great true story and throw it in a barrel together with an incredibly weak script, add some good performances, some not so good ones, put there an awful directing, and soak everything in heavy maple syrup - and then you've got it.You probably don't watch many of the made-for-tv drame thingies, but they have developed a particular style, all the same for every such "film", all based on true stories and all seem like they were made on the same conveyor belt.
But when you take The Right Stuff for what it truly is, it is enjoyable.
-----> but man, as a film it is so far below par it is ridiculous <-----You forgot to add "In my opinion."
An opinion, no matter how popularly held, is not a fact.
Incidentally, I think most BAT gear sucks, but just my opinion, not a fact.
Yo yo, WE understand that what we says is " only " in our opinions, we do not need to carry a sign to know that. There is no trace of absolutism here, and if, only in your mind.
Must you be rude?
Are you a shy boy ?
Quite right PatU... I am not rude, that post must have been from my evil twin.Nurse........ MEDS!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for your indulgence.
-Mo Yama
You can always rely on me.
We will tame that evil twin of yours. Donīt worry.PS : My indulgence is on pair with your negligence.
For two hours, to watch the Rules of the Game on the large screen - those Criterions look gorgeous that way.No Amontillado, but have good Port.
Shall report later.
A good vintage Port, is what I will indulge myself tonight..But still have made no choice on what to vision tonight.
Bon plaisir!
PS: This morning after waking up I tought of Renoirīs " The Rules..." and I found a mistake in is view of the society of the bourgoisie at the time.
It seems that is had the idea that ( what was right then and still is today ) than the upperclass tend to protect themself ( noblesse & bourgoiesie) beyond the fact of religion ( in this case being Jewish )
But it was not the case as 1939 told us the lection.
You see my point?
Did you have the disc set where Renoir himself made an introduction? That was interesting too.Please clarify your point... I am off to view the second DVD.
You know, me and documentary on films...Yes I have the " Criterion " I will have the entire look at somewhere later.I meant that Renoir in the film, show us that the uper class was able to protect itself..Remember " it was an accident...That the way they could handle the situation, beetwen people of wealth and " good compagny " and well borned.
They even accept a Jew ( money ) ( long scene with the cook ) So Renoir tell us that beeing in this class is " protective ".
But he failed to mention ( 1939 ) that the Nazi would not take any consideration..
In all europe it was of common knowledge that the noble without a penny married some rich Jews, to have the ressource they needed.
Money did justify the " mesalliance " due to anti-semitisme.
I just orderd " Brideshead Revised " Did you see it ?
No, haven't seen it, but used to love his novels... even stole a book from my firm's library. Is that the TV mini series? Let me know how you like it, it is pricey at $43 here.
I paid Eu55. Yes the English mini TV series. It has very good critics. And a pleiade of great actors! I will let you know, of course!
I am reading the second bio of Sir Alec Guiness, what a time! I wish I could have lived there. It is more interesting that a criminal story.
I'm not sure if I spelled his name correctly but he plays the test pilot.
