All I can say to the sentiments like this, is: post. You like something - post. You have something - post.
Amazing what your voice can do. And your silence too.
BTW - there's someone trashing the 8 1/2 down below - I think we all should expose his active anti-Fellini feelings.

I'm not anti-Fellini...the fact that he made a pointless self-indulgent trash heap because he thinks audiences will care that he has no ideas is bothersome. Luckily he ddidn't reach a wide audience...films like that give movies a bad name - it's not even philosophically relevant - even is pretentious whining is vacuous.
Pehaps I should see his earlier films. Since according to Roger Ebert the ones that followed were downright BAD movies - maybe before he ran out of ideas he made something remotely decent. I shall attempt him again.

  One of the best director of all time , don�t need you, stick with LOTR.

    You and Fellini - obviously small minds think alike.
    I take it you and Victor are the movie snobs on this forum. The less the movie is about and the more revered by the smallest minority it is you two will like it.
    Of course if you were truly any good at being snobs you would hardly waste time watching movies. It's hardly an art form worthy to be called art.
    To be fair to Fellini this is just one film from him, but based off this film he wouldn't merit cleaning my toilet... 81/2 should certainly be flushed as the kaka that it is.
    LOTR: I have enough to deal with without getting into why LOTR isn't that good. But unlike 81/2 at least it wasn't a product of Ego. Most written work in the first person is considered utter trash in literary circles. 81/2 is essentially that. May as well be a diary. Oh poor me I can't think of what to make...whine whine whine - he must be French - someone please give him some cheese to go with that whine. Rubbish.

      So, you don't think much of M&M's 81/2 Miles?
      Nice counter-punch by the way.

      Hehe...Nobody!
      But some kind of frustating, you try to explain and exchange views, and some are just so narrow minded that looks back like in time of the " witch Hunt ".
      I wish we would have more people like " Bambi " who is for a too long a time silent!

        (s)he's one of the smart ones. It's not your fault that you and Victor like to post a lot about films. Others need to do the same, including me! I want an ACTION FLICK ASYLUM!!! Nothing but explosions and gunfire 24/7 and hot, half-nakid chicks too!
        Have fun, Chris

        "It's not your fault that you and Victor like to post a lot about films."
        I have no problems with Patrick and Victor (or anyone for that matter) posting their opinions about any film. My personal disdain lies with their persistently pompous, condescending attitudes. Patrick, in particular, is trollish in many of his responses - a statement affirmed by several of his posts in this thread. I appreciate the fact he's not a native English speaker, but from the little I can decipher of Patrick's posts, a good deal of them are childish, instigating remarks. Victor can just be plain nasty at times, though he's said the same thing of me. Perhaps its merely a cultural difference.
        Sure, we could all ignore them. But I don't think you can really fault people for being turned off either. It is the expressed opinion of numerous people that discussions are indeed stifled here. A split forum would alleviate the problem IMO.

        You are the one who does, can you show me one of your post about a film ?
        Curious, you just are what you say.
        Post about films.

        I told Len before if he put all this energy into posts on films this would be a better place.

        I don't pretend to post more about films. I don't often post in this forum for reasons I've already described. FYI: posting incessantly about films doesn't excuse your other behavior.

        Did EVER post about films?
        Ok we should close the door to more stupidity to comes. If you want to discuss films I will always be willing to. If you don�t like me do not read me.
        I am always ready to speak with every one, the reason of this forum is just films ( sic )
        OK?
