Re: Did I detect an hint of....

The search engine is down but I figured I'd take the time to review Voctor's reviews of some American movies.

"It seems to me that in that part of the world - and I mean Eastern Europe perhaps even more than the Western one - the interest in the subject that I always find fascinating - the humans with their joys and sufferings - is still very much alive, while here, at Hollywood, it has been completely replaced with the monsters and deviants.

Case in point: a few days back I believe Tin suggested that the Hollywood film with a completely adolescent sounding title Monster was something special.

My reaction - sorry, but I am not going to waste my time and money watching yet another story of a serial killer.

There is something quite degrading in the American fascination with mass murderers, serial killers, morons (John Belushi and the warshipers of his church), deviants of all kinds, anti-social idiots, prostitutes-gone-housewives, and all other sorts of scum, human trash, refuse, garbage... enter your favorite word of disgust here."

Hmm. He didn't even see the movie but simply made a bunch of assumptions about it. But hey, it was an American movie so ho hum.

Here is his review of the classic film "The Right Stuff"

"OK, OK... I watched the Right Stuff last night! It doesn't get any more American!
Can't say I enjoyed it much, though."


Very insightful in depth analysis. Not.

Here is another review with a familiar theme...


"Watched Ripley's Game last night... such kaka

Just about everything about that film is weak.
A waste of time."


Not much to discuss there. Just another typical dismisal.

That is as far as I can scroll back for now.

So when I see a well thought out critique of LOTRs by Victor that actually discusses real cinematic values, I will happily discuss what I liked about LOTRs in rebutal. Till then I think arogant dismisals of the sort I have cited above deserve the same sort of dismisals in response. It doesn't take a lot of thought to say something is kaka.
