What is vic -- a nobody -- so who cares.

Ebert understand that there are two vary different KINDS of movie making -- one is film as "Art" and two is film as "entertainment" some rare times you even get a film that does both but that is indeed rare. If you read Enert's review of Jurassic Park which i posted somewhere down the page you get a very good idea why Ebert gave JP a *** or thumbs up rating. I see nothing wrong with recommending that film -- I recommended that film -- despite the fact that I had mroe problems with it than Ebert does. I know the target audience and the intention of the film and on those two it works. It is not going to find a place in my DVD collection.

Broccoli is better for my body than empty calorie ice-cream -- but sometimes I would much rather Ice-Cream -- doubt the self appointed snopbs will get the analogy -- they are not too bright.
