In Reply to: The original movie was quite decent posted by barryb on August 17, 2010 at 18:11:34:
movies are equated with things like pin ball amusement, video games and pro wrestling. I agree with Victor. Before Lucas and others like him, we were treated occasionally to a film of some substance. Now, most movies are made for adolescent minds. At one time film was even considered possibly an art form. Now I'm not so sure! Maybe we should bring back the Roman gladiator fights to the death. It is a sign of our decadence. Ray Hughes
