In Reply to: Re: It was meant to be ironic... Part two. posted by patrickU on April 24, 2002 at 04:14:46:
Most American great directors came from Europe? Well, we agree on some points, mon ami, but here we diverge. I'll grant you "some...", but not "most." De Mille, Stevens, Kubrick, Ford...I could go on and on.
Wine? Quite seriously, I used to just about drink only French wine; five trips to the grand country only consolidated my tastes. But now...I find I drink very little French wine, in general (Champagne mostly). Pinot noir, chardonnay, pinot gris...I drink from Oregon. France's own Domaine Drouhin produces one of our (I'm an Oregonian, at least for a few months more) best local wines. We're the producer that whipped up on the French in the dreaded double blind tasting tests of fifteen or so years ago in which Oregon pinot noir triumphed. Ouch.

can you not find the irony ?
Wel...if you want you MUST see it,I know ..I know it is never enjoyable to miss one ,but who did not ?
So I was not ?
Ok. let us forget it.
Let us quantitify....
Lubitsch
Wilder
Hitch ( for me , one of the very best )
Kazan
Cukor
Wyler
Zinnemann
Chaplin
Curtis
Capra
and many more...So let us talk wine..Double testing...( we all love that in our hifi hobby..)
I drank a lot of wines ( of course no proof ) but the Bourgogne and the Bordeaux are not an easy to beat..and I made a lot of wine testing.I mean you find a lot of good wine every where..but the best are in France , on some special category like very sweet white wine, the German one may be better..( beside the Chateau D´Yquiem who is full of finesse....
Salut.
