Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Sigh.....you really are annoying.....well you certainly have enough time on your hands to post....

endless drivel here....let's see if I can respond to some of this....

1. "Who knows, maybe your background qualifies you to dance in a Broadway musical, but so far the tap-dancing isn't impressing me"- uh...yeah at one time I could have.... but not any more....and believe me when I say that Auph....I've NEVER tried to impress YOU!!!!!

2. I said the films won awards....I still maintain that it was a weak year and the awards reflected the body of the work and NOT that particular film....which IMO WAS ridiculously long....I won't even comment on the longer version.....I'm an avid filmgoer and it takes alot to put me to sleep....I nodded off TWICE when I saw the last film at the theater.....

3. "condescending inference"...."Sorry you're SO sensitive!!!.....my remark was not the least bit condescending....

4. On the subject of epics.....I actually LOVE all of the films that you mentioned (including GWTW)....they are all in my library and I watch them from time to time...Lean and Ford (who directed part of HTWWW) have both directed some of my absolute favorite films....Lawrence Of Arabia and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance being two of those.....

5. Jackson IMO has a great visual sense but lacks the ability to tell a concise story....he needs to stay out of the editing room and leave it to the professionals he hires ( I read somewhere that he is VERY involved in the process)...LOA has some wonderful examples of inspired editing and cutting.....

5. "dark" can be a very good thing....YOU did not think that the LOTR's films were somewhat "dark"? .....if NOT we must have seen different films.....a director like Burton has made a career out of honing his skill with "dark" films......with Sweeney Todd being his darkest yet....of course the subject matter helped make the case.....

6. Finally...I think I've given you a few glimpses as to my "taste" in films.....if you want more you'll have to engage me on a specific subject......
