You seem to live under wrong presumption that I would like to spend more time discussing the reasons LOTR is bad film... not so, I am not looking to relieving that wonderful experience.

I posted on my emotions of meeting it once again, this time in expanded time frame, not anything else. It always makes me feel funny when someone demands that I say more than I am inclined to say at the moment... well, just as you, I say what I feel like. If subject warrants, I say more, if not, then, well, not.

You are welcome to address something I specifically stated in my post. But I am not inclined right now to go into the LOTR - we already spent more time on it than it deserves.

I still, of course, strongly disagree with your notion of evaluating films, etc. based on their categories, as I simply see no one category as lower than others. The reason we sometimes don't see significant works in Category A is simply because no good director ever made a movie in it. Great movie can be made in ANY category or genre, just like great paintings have been produced in any sort of genre too.

BTW - in my post above the work kaka referred not to the film (which IS kaka, in my view...) but a particular aspect of it. If you want, you can replace it with the word shit, and see how it reads.
