We're just sensitive, you know. It's called e-m-p-a-t-h-y. We're hard wired for it. Only things like sweeping generalisations really make us nuts.

Alas, some women, like some men, are not especially bright or savvy when it comes to cinematic reality, visual language or subtext. And yes, some women are rude and have no movie manners. But this film was intended to evoke a strong emotional response and it apparently succeeded in this case. Too bad it also didn't make the woman think. Or shock her into silence. At least her ticket price counted towards the gross.

I saw Croupier last year in the theater when it was part of a traveling series, very entertaining, excellent film.

Amores Perros is one of the best films I've seen this year. Brilliant.

I have to agree with you on the Wicker Man. It scared me years ago, and I still like this movie a lot. Of course, I still like The Hidden too, so there you go.
