>>> "It is perfectly normal to use words like shit, crap, trash, etc in a conversational discussion of films, just like words like marvel, gem, hight of artistic achievement - there is really no difference." <<<

MOST folks are respectful of other's film tastes (notice my emphasis on the word 'most'); use of profane language to describe a film without provision of a well reasoned rationale for it is the epitome of vulgarity, insensitivity and arrogant behavior.

>>> "What is NOT normal is your immature inability to handle the rejection..." <<<

Rejection? Hmmm, ...are you sure that your aren't transposing your own fears, negativism and unpleasant experiences onto others? Food for thought. As for maturity, your's appears limited to age rather than emotional development.

>>> "...you have been on the vendetta path, stalking people here." <<<

Excuse me for a moment while I clean up the spewed coffee! ... What can one say about an over-the-top assertion like the one you've just proffered? This is pure baloney and you know it. The only "stalking" going on around here can be found along the twisted "vendetta path" trailing from your own snobbery! When you and patrick are bored you two Ebert/Roper wannabes stealthily attack certain films over and over again just to get a reaction.

Apparently you guys only see it as a "win" if everyone agrees with your warped grey poupon perspective. So you keep carpet-bombing insults at the films you both "love to hate" with a smirk and a strut in the hope that film mavens will either come over to the "dork side of your farce" or give up and move on having been low-brow beaten into submission.

>>> "Most people learn to handle such rejections and move onto things that matter to them." <<<

That's an oddly ironic statement, because you sure don't practice what you preach.

>>> "Also, writing things like "$#!+" in place of words you find offensive is a sign of a philistine, and something we expect the giggly thirteen year old girls do..." <<<

Interesting use of the word "we" in your diagnosis, Hippocrates. Your comment makes about as much sense as my saying that you're apparently infatuated with thirteen year old girls, but let's not go there, patrick might get jealous. ;^)

>>> "All in all, Patrick has written more about more films than you will probably ever see in your life..." <<<

A mime is a terrible thing to waste; too bad he chose not to be one! ;^)

>>> "...good advice for you would be to move onto movies and their discussions..." <<<

I'll take that under advisement, but as I provide at least as much insight on AMERICAN film as either of our two grey poupon specialists without any insulting Euro-trash snobbery I think it would behoove you to follow your own advice.

>>> "...endless personall attacks do not contribute to anything productive here." <<<

I would agree; perhaps you'll be the archetect of your own positive reconstruction and next time you won't build your house out of glass.
