In Reply to: Actually, Dalton may have a good idea, and I don't think that the Hi-Rez Asylum is a good comparison. posted by Audiophilander on March 15, 2004 at 12:02:04:
"However, we've seen recently a spate of posts, mostly from two individuals carrying on an all-too-public private conversation about their personal preferences"This is a good thing IMO. People exposing other people to movies they love is a value to this forum.
" while disparaging popular American cinema in various distateful ways."
Just call them on it. I have. They are big boys. They can take it. Who knows, maybe they'll offer some substance with their negative opinions eventually and we can have an interesting examination of films.
