Well, it appears that this stream is almost fished out.

I find it interesting that you continue to spin a weak line knowing that the bait you're trying to hook me with is totally bogus. My defense of Thelma & Louise has nothing to do with any "agenda", political or otherwise. Your overly vitriolic remarks about the film while pointing an accusatory finger at both myself and the film's Director suggesting that we're part of some sort of grand scheme to corrupt society's values is pure bunk.

You continue to bring up the Director's talent, usually in the negative sense, as if he hasn't proven himself many times over. Yet you've pointed to nothing which demonstrates a lack of talent on Mr Scott's part except through expressing disdain for the subject matter of specific films he's directed. The funny thing is, YOUR RESPONSE to my purely tongue-in-cheek sarcasm (i.e., about dismissing women "to their sewing circles while the men folk retire to the study, smoke cigars and discuss politics") says more about the stereotypes YOU may be harboring than anything I'd ever be associated with.

>>> "This sentence is sooooooooooo dated and silly even my dog would see it for what it is." <<<

Yes, the sentence you referenced was dated and silly by intent! BTW, in spite of the openning you've kindly provided, I'll avoid the obvious response to your *ahem* canine riposte out of a respect for women everywhere.

As for Ridley Scott's talent, besides having a roughly 2/1 ratio of hits over misses his track-record has more critical successes than many of his well known contemporaries and he's achieved those successes through a broad range of subjects which is a major accomplishment in itself. The fact that I see greatness in many of the director's films while you do not we can always chalk up to personal preferences, but the contempt you have for his work seems more deeply rooted to me. Perhaps you'ld care to explain the intense hatred you have of his films, if not to us then perhaps to someone ...professional?
