In Reply to: Can't Resist - I thought American Beauty was Brilliant posted by Jim Susky on February 04, 2002 at 23:10:02:
I agree it's a brilliant film and have said so in this forum.Viktor's got no monopoly on taste or insight from what I've read of him. My only comment is that he has a peculiar tendency, but he is, after all, new to this country.

***My only comment is that he has a peculiar tendency, but he is, after all, new to this country.Dear edta, isn't "this country" a part of mankind?

...you never replied to my post on Being John Malkovich, so we shall never know for sure.And to think that I spend the whole year trying to accomodat eyour request...
the problem i have with you VK is sometimes (sometimes) you force me to examine how i actually (honestly) feel about something and confront a prejudice (a pre-conceived notion) that i held unaware or in spite.my (new) truth is: it sucked.
i can't believe you forced me to agree with you, but there you are.
so, in the future, when i don't respond to your query, it's because.
