In Reply to: Dear Monica, please stay in the Sar Wars thread where Lucas needs your support. posted by john dem on November 07, 2001 at 01:32:01:
John,
Do you actually know anything practical about filmmaking at all? Or is your knowledge actually relegated to mere theory and criticism? Are you just a glorified film nut, who contributes nothing at all to the art form? Or can you back up your words with real (practical)cinematic evidence that you actually know what you write about? Have you ever made anything other than a home movie (or have you even made one of those)??I am both a director and a film fan, whose (comparitavely) short career far surpasses (I'll bet) anything you've done in the cinematic world. I'm sure with your obviously well educated, yet definitely practically lacking mind, you'll know what they say about film critics.......
"Of course, this assumes you have an attention span that exceeds that of a distracted gnat."
Thinly veiled personal insults don't work with me, in fact it says alot about you.
ps, how ironic that you criticize AuPh for bringing up "Star Trek" as an example when you use "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" ........and yes, I can tell that it's your cringe-worthy attempt at humour, but the mere fact that you know enough about it to use this film as an example speaks volumes about your relevance as a critic.
Why didn't you just present an example of the use of Socratic thought in film? Dead Poets Society comes to mind. Can you think of another one???? Come on, jump on the search engine!!pps, And, no, I won't give you my real name.
Follow Ups:
Why don't you just admit that you completely misunderstood my post, and my exhortation to colorize films was in fact an attempt to reduce Auph's assertion about the suspension of disbelief to an absurd conclusion.Auph understood it. Any reasonable adult could understand it.
You didn't- you took it literally, which I suppose most 10 year old intellects are prone to do.
"I am both a director and a film fan, whose (comparitavely) short career far surpasses (I'll bet) anything you've done in the cinematic world."
I do in fact have an extremely large penis.
But I am also prepared to accept that you are a better director than George Lucas, and that you have probably directed more films than he has.
And you probably don't steal other director's ideas, scenes and even plots from others. Unlike George.
"how ironic that you criticize AuPh for bringing up "Star Trek" as an example when you use 'Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure' "
Duh ! You are a slow learner. The Bill and Ted reference was an insult, not humor- it was directed at your adolescent intellect. It implied you are the type of person who would think Socrates was some dude from a teen B film.
There has been no proof to the contrary.
"pps, And, no, I won't give you my real name. "
Yeah- right. As if disclosing your real name could somehow make you smarter.
