In Reply to: You Make A Blanket Condemnation, Then.... posted by AudioHead on May 31, 2002 at 09:20:17:
If you failed to draw the same conclusions as I, upon watching this shoddy tripe, I don't see how I can help you.You have lived this long, all the while making observations and reconciling these observations with your set of beliefs and values. I don't believe anything I write will change you or your opinion of the movie nor should it. However....
In the interest of defending myself against the somewhat justifiable criticism of being a sort of hit and run poster I offer the following (I wrote by myself, with no help from a critic!!!!!!!!!):
Here is a movie targeted to a certain type of woman. It manages to be offensive, not only to that subgroup, but to women in general. The movie is totally lacking in any sort of artistic merit, and exists as a sort of marketing experiment gone very wrong. This pathetic cookie-cutter of a movie is never less than predictable and never more than the bare minimum (and sometimes not even that). Stereotypes abound and
nobody is spared the dull tip of the writers' pens. This would all be ok if any of the jokes worked. They don't. There's just no humanity to be found in this utterly calculated piece of horseshit.There you go.
You stated:## Here is a movie targeted to a certain type of woman. It manages

general ##What type of woman??? How do you know women were offended? Do
you have access to polls?You stated:
## The movie is totally lacking in any sort of artistic merit... ##
Some of course, would disagree with this type of absolutist statement,
especially in the area of actor performance.You stated:
## This would be OK if any of the jokes worked. They donīt. ##
Found myself chuckling throughout. Of course, humor is a subjective
matter, sometimes I laugh at things others donīt, sometimes vice
versa, and then sometimes we laugh together! Bwwwaaaaaaa!You stated:
## Thereīs just no humanity to be found... ##
īPlease donīt tell Mel and Helen there was no warmth whatsoever
in their ending kiss, might hurt their feelings to insinuate they
were merely mannequins mechanically going through the motions.P.S. - I consider WWW harmless enough, it is mean-spiritied, propaganda
films like ĻThelma and LouiseĻ, that disturb me.
