Don't mean to take a jab but you're getting punchy. I'll bet he'll be hooked by the end.
You know the rest, donīt you?
issues raised by the film. Like they could not wait to discuss it until the film is released on home DVD so as not to give away the ending. I realize the topicality, I do not want to discuss so as not to ruin it for people here.
Well I have read the ending in that interview with Mr. Eastwood. I think a good film can withshand that.
I mean just a happy or un-happy ending can not make a whole film!
Of course between two options, I will always choose the non-konwing one!
BUT, still they do soften it with a "pet the puppy" ending. Some courage, not a lot. The BBC\Channel Four would have left it on the sad note.
For further comment I will have to ....see it.
So till later!

For what she does she does it very very well.This list is likely about STARS than talent -- There is more talent on the obscure stages of London and NY than most pretty faced actors and actresses -- big deal that's been true since the beginning of film.
hollywood is not the least bit interested in film as art but film as entertainment and it amazes me how so many seemingly intelligent posters cannot grasp this very very simple conceopt -- instead of whining about Ace Ventura not being up some deep brilliant film like "The Grand Iillusion" let's use a BRAIN for a change and figure out WHY this might be.
Let's do a remake of the Grand illusion and see how much money the film will make -- as a concept 10 million. So I am a producer and I see that gee they want me to invest 20 million and the projections of the accountant and marketers is that this movie will tank with no name though excellent actors. So how about I get Mel Gibson and Tom Cruis as the leads -- now the projection is that it'll return 75 million...not bad -- but hey if we have a giant cyclops who breathes fire and turns out to be a Terminator -- well cool the prjection is 210 million...hey let's change the title to Terminator 4 and bring back Cameron -- now we have 450 million.
SEE how art can fall pray to money (Capitalism DOESN'T work for art) Most of the best stuff is created by people who scrape a movie together or are making with their own clout) And many prostiute themselves in horrible movies in order to be able to finance the ones they want made.
It's not Hollywood's fault if Most Americans are morons. (I mean most of them voted for George Bush -- add these slacked jawed folks of Deliverance to the list that watches Jerry Springer and well lots of luck selling your art house flick to them --- don't blame Hollywood for making a few bucks -- capitalism reigns supreme -- all anyone cares about is dollar signs) -- but yeah it's the best system to run a country -- well so they say.
Well ô boy! That is a large field what you are talking about. On the other hand why would Hollywood not act as we mostly all do? Trying to make some money....The more the better.
Picasso and all the rest did make or wanted to makes big money. Some times I think art is just a by product...He-he...
There are so many possibilities!
The result count.
I like her in Notting Hill, a harmless comedy, but well put and improving with time. It use very well the with of the stars.
And it has some humanity in it...
BTW. I would have vote for Mr. Bush.
Am I a moron?
It's a good romantic Comedy -- smarter than most and it also shows there is a bit more to Roberts than the usual. She may not be the best actress but she certainly far from the worst -- she is more popular than her ability perhpas but so what -- I give her and singers like Madonna credit for knowing exactly what people want from them and then giving the customer what they want and what they expect.As for Bush -- I suspect a film like Fahrenheit 9/11 did more for the Bush camp than the Kerry camp. Because Moore plays fast and loose with some facts then people view EVERYTHING he puts in his film as a total outright lie or slander. Oliver Stone had the same problem because people would pick out and "correct" 9 small issues which were incorrect and toss the whoel film into a conspiracy film rhetoric -- never mind the 3 key issues which have been corronborated at the highest levels of the CIA. (No one harps on those because those are untouchable truths).
Canadian journalists have stone cold provable corroboration that no American will watch unless they have a dish and were paying attention and I'm sorry to say Moore missed out on some goodies here and Kerry blew it completely when the opportunity arose to obliterate Bush in one of the electoral debates -- issue was about the drug industry(relation to Canada and drug costs) and Bush outright LIED. Crooked as a dog's hind leg.
Of course the problem is did Kerry not know to attack or would he do the exact same thing as Bush? -- Ahh -- people forget that Michael Moore also never liked Clinton either.
Bush is a Texas uneducated sleazy hothead who is the ultimate religious reactionist -- and sorry we need people who use intellectual Reason to lead the world --- not fannatics who shoot first and think later. kerry may be a lot of things that can be viewed as worse but it would be nice if the president and therefore leader of the free world could formulate at least a quasi-half decent sentence all by himself.
I fully agree with your first statement.
Fahrenheit was a very bad film, if a film at all. If only Mr. Moore would have been good at it! There is nothing better than consrtuctive critics. And fine irony is a pleasure for me, so it is a lost occasion.
This " opus " will be lost in time, and I think it is already.
Kerry had this arrogant and wanting to be right for everyone way, that make me run. he sold himself very badly. He could have make it with more instinct.
In fact I think that he was the sole cause for the Democratic Party to loose.
But who talk of yesterday snow?
Historians.
All politicians are lying...More or less. If you donīt like it avoid politics...As I do...He-he...
And yet, some one has to vote....And choose between two bad.
As in France at the moment...
I do think that mr. Bush is not so inept as you present him.
For some of his weakness he made some other things better...But a long story without end... Every one should follow his instincts and do what it is right for himself to do.
Beside the far right I respect every each and one view, so long there are mutual respect...
***BTW. I would have vote for Mr. Bush.
Am I a moron?No, but if you keep talking like this you will get expelled from Germany.
