I find it funny...

... that you're still deluding yourself that it takes more than one brain cell to engage in the consumption of grey poupon (pretentiously symbolic, plotless & plodding, euro mustard slathered film fare).

>>> "Solaris invites you to think, to meditate along..." <<<

Yeah, to meditate with your eyes closed; it's called s-l-e-e-p-i-n-g! ;^)

>>> "...instead of just gobbling up the shit some Hollywood maker shovels your way with no pause or break." <<<

So, you think that slathering on the grey poupon makes your Euro-$#!+ taste better? ;^D

>>> "View it in one shot, you will see what the artist is trying to tell you." <<<

Perhaps, but a shot of fine single malt is usually preferable to a shot of cheap vodka, don't ya think? ;^)

>>> "Don't you folks EVER sit by the lake watching the waves and fish playing?" <<<

Yeah, my grandmother used to sit by the lake watch the waves and fish in her declining years, and that was boring as well. What's your point?

>>> "Are computer games all you can now swallow?" <<<

Why is it that you assume everyone who doesn't see the 'vision' as you do is automatically into video games, is brain-dead or whatever? Heck, not everyone dresses in Napoleonic panteloons and rattles their collection of cuttlery at folks to get their jollies either, but whatever floats your dinghy!

>>> "How about poetry? Art?" <<<

LOL! Why should anyone look to you for art or poetry recommendations? I realize that you have an ego bigger than the Film or Outside board has bandwidth, ...but sheeesh!

>>> "Are you like those Japanese tourists parading in quick pace through the Louvre's rooms? I saw this... check... I saw that... check... next room..." <<<

Ummm, have you ever considered the possibility that it might be the failing of the tour guide rather than the tourists? ;^)
