Okay Victor, if you insist, I'll take a shot: Your knocking the Jurassic Park films is a subjective opinion and you're certainly entitled to it. However, some of us may love the dinosaur films and not enjoy those low budget snoozers which pass for intellectually stimulating film entertainment (i.e., I occasionally describe these movies, unjustly or not, as "art house films" regardless of how wide an audience they manage to reach). Note: What I'm REALLY refering to aren't high quality low budget personal films, but rather critically acclaimed cinema which certain Grey Poupon critics like that turns out to be "plotless wonders" (i.e., stream of consciousness films) and the so-called "chic-flicks" which are little more than Harlequin romances transferred to raw film stock.

Furthermore, ballroom dancing such as the Samba (i.e., I prefer to call it the Somnambulist), etc., is REAL boring old fart stuff! Sheeeesh, I'd rather be entertained watching kinescopes of the Lawrence Welk Show; if there is a hell, THAT would be it! BTW, people who like this tired sh*t already have their eye on a park bench and checkers in my humblist of humble opinions.

Of course, this is just my vigorous viewpoint; YM (using a walker) MV.

Rock on!
