Home Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Well, well... Mr. Stickler, while you are getting me on a technicality, I get you on substance

It should be pretty clear that in my one-word mention the word "children" didot really mean children as young audience, it meant the decendants, the future generations of viewers... perhaps if I used the word grand-children it would have been more clear?

However, your post, of which you of course only quoted a part (natch!) deals squarely with children, as the young viewing audience.

"I am not sure I would want my children watching the amount of adultery which has come out of French cinema. But then, they are cultured and I am not. I guess I'm just old fashioned that way. And even in their films not involving some level of adultery, I am not sure I'd want my kinds watching most French films.

How many European films are made for children the way Hollywood has produced Toy Story, Bug's Life, etc? The joy and pleasure I felt from watching The Polar Express with my three year old cannot be overstated. I even let him sit in the sweet spot. I have Hollywood to thank for that, not European cinema."

But it is good you limited your response to just a few lines - I honeslty did not have any inclination of chasing you all over your long, tedious and whining post like a mouse with a broom, all over my bedroom.

I appreciate your now standing up in the middle of the said room, like a proud brave mouse!

By now I have already forgotten the focal point of our argument, and frankly, you gave me little incentive to go back and read your ten-page narrations, so if you could state it in less than 100 words, then perhaps we could go back to the argument.

Usually given my work load, I prefer to debate one issue at a time.
