      It should be about whatever people want to talk about in regards to film. But I do give you and a few others credit for broadening the scope of this forum. Don't despare. I take note of recomendations like your. I'm sure others do as well. Would be nice if we had more of these films in the theaters. I do my best to support them.

  I always liked the old TNT Network tagline "It ain't Bergman, but things blow up!" :o)

• Have you seen the rather fine English-dubbed version? - clarkjohnsen 09:06:48 10/30/06 (1)

  Lots more there than in the original subtitles.

  Wild Strawberries was not only my first Bergman, but my first foreign-movie theatre experience! I'll never forget the audience's shock when that axle clanked.

    Most people here would frown at dubbing. The first version I saw was the Russian dubbed one, but back then things were different and dubbing was top notch.

    It was my first Bergman too...

    In all honesty, I pulled that title randomly, but now realize it is time for me to revisit that work.

    I need to look around for which is the best version - mayeb someone will chime in?

  The threads are nowhere near as long as the interminable LOTR posts
  of a year or two ago. And the film is far more interesting than LOTR.

  • LOTR (All Of Them) Were About The Most Overrated Film I've Ever Seen.... - Draz 12:15:17 10/30/06 (6)

    ...Impossible to follow, endless "battle scenes" (second only to the equally awful Star Wars garbage) that after the first 15 minutes evoked a "who gives a fuck who's winning and losing...just let this snoozefest be over" reaction.

    Who watched these things?

    (Oops, apparently me!) ;))

    I should know better.

        Lucky you... I found myself locked in a protracted discussion with him, so I had to get to know the enemy better... bottom line is about 45 minutes of that pure dreck... it felt like doing pathology on a stinky corps.

        Truth is it is not getting any better after 45 minutes - just more of the same.

          I didn't discuss it. I simply said that I lasted 10 minutes. Painful ones.

            ...But I felt like I had to take a shower afterwards to get the stink off me.

            As for the other two or three stinkers in the LOTR series, as our fearless leader George Bush said, "You can fool me once, but, um, well, when you fool me, well, you better not fool me again, or something like that."

            Great oratory skills never die.

            They just sit in a corner and stink up the room.

        I agree - after 20 minutes I thought it was a film for stoned hippies. I left.
