***Agreed, on nearly all such points. I very much enjoyed **Gladiator** in the theatres as well, purchased the DVD, but have subsequently had my experience of it effectively ruined by virtue of its Best Picture award. It's a fun movie, to be sure, but it's by no means a superior or groundbreaking film; to confer such a mantle upon it is, I suspect, to risk outright embarrassment.

He-he-he... embarrasment, you say? I would agree with you, if the issuing agency was not the Academy, the same "academy" that gave Oscar to that real dog of films - "Marthy". Plus few other over the years. And yes, one of my all-time favotire puke-inducers - the mighty Titanic piece of shit.

I suspect you are completely right on those formulaic "Made for Lifetime TV" movies and Ellen - although I have not seen the film, but now want to do so. She has taste and talent, something Julia believes you simply buy and keep in your freezer until needed.
