In Reply to: I rely only on my own observations. Why do you enjoy putting words in people's mouths? posted by clarkjohnsen on March 21, 2006 at 07:46:32:
>>> "Were you an appreciator of fine music..." <<<Now who is putting words into who's mouth? FYI, I do appreciate fine music, and with a few noteable exceptions (an intense dislike of country & blue grass styles) have a wide and varied pallet. I occasionally share my informed opinions of non-rock related music on the Hi-Rez boards where Living Stereo and Jazz SACD releases are often discussed. Of course, all of the observations I make regarding music are first hand, informed impressions.
>>> "...you would find over on Music Lane that we are always posting opinion that is not our own, for the benefit of everyone." <<<
Music and film are hors'doeuvres of different colors since the shelf life of music is a good deal longer than the narrow window provided a currently running film. Selected reviews can impact a film's box-office, given the added credibility of a poster's personal validation of the reviewer's comments, so it's very important that those shared opinions be informed opinions.
As you should know by now, I'm not opposed to the sharing of reviews of others as long those opinions accurately reflect the FIRST-HAND opinions of the poster. Without that caveat, there is a strong liklihood that the reader will be mislead into avoiding a film thinking that the cut'n pasted critic's opinion is a first-hand testimonial. You're an intelligent guy; you should know this by now.
>>> "If in music we feel enlarged by others' writing, why is it forbidden here, by you?" <<<
'Forbidden?'
You give me more credit and power than I'd ever presume much less desire; as you're such a clever wordsmith, I'd suggest that you hammer out a few more before your testy mettle cools. ;^)
