Oh, boy...

"Next step up would be you taking to task this sentence:"

"I can't say that I recall any movies on the holocaust that had moments that were more grabbing than the ones in SL."

Now I am being impeached with something I never wrote. Read again, Victor. I never wrote that, and so do not understand how I can be expected to address a question posed by another poster.

"But on the positive front, I noticed you dropped your two favorite strikes - the one about the vets (that was truly a weak argument par exlellence) and about me not getting Spielberg's great art (so sorry about that!)."

Not sure why that is a postive note. But let's clarify, shall we? I never complained about you not "getting" Spielberg's art. You made a critism that SL reduced to trivial shock value. I, and later Scott, asked a very, very, very, and one more time, very simple question, to wit: cite a specific example, in SL, not SPR, that was of a "trivial shock value."

There may be other Holocaust films you like more than SL. Fine. I can't argue with that. But that is not the issue, nor the query I raised. I do not believe I ever asked you to name another Holocaust film you like more than SL. You made a declarative statement, cloaked in fact, and I simply asked you to name the specific "trivial shock" in SL. No more, no less.

That you still cannot provide support for your declarative statements leads to the only conclusion possible, which is, that you have none, and your statement was made based solely upon your opinion of Spielberg. Which is fine. But trying to portray your opinion in a "fact" which you cannot produce is misleading.

"Me: Still waiting."

...my answer would be "For what exactly?"

And you suggest I need to re-read a post?

"you should simply try to see some good films mentioned here... perhaps that would change your perception more than silly arguing here."

Translation: You caught me with my hands in the cookie jar, now can we get on to something else.
