Painful.

Carl -

Why don't you stop while you're ahead here? Most of your retorts really damage your own position; you were far better off with more mystery surrounding your persona. In comparison, the unknown and unsaid speaks volumes more than the misspoken and ill-conceived. Of course, I am not saying to hold your tongue, as this forum should be open to all comers; yet must the tongue (keyboard) paint such a broad stroke, with the subtlety of a Stegosaurus floundering about in a bog?

When your blood pressure rises, the quality of the content, not to mention the spelling and grammar, goes further into the depths of mediocrity. You are right in that the occasional typo and misplaced word should go overlooked, especially in a forum such as this; yet when sentence structure, syntax, spelling, usage, and content all become riddled with misuse and errors, it starts to convey an inability to express yourself in a lucid fashion, something that does speak for intellectual capabilities, if not take-home salary.

Your insults become more petty and less creative, and just delve into personal attacks of the nature of a third grader on a playground who is not let on the Whirligig during the 10 O clock recess.

Yes, opinion counts for much, but there are some objective standards that pertain to even films that are in less stringent categories, designed only to entertain or bring in the ducats. Granted, I have been entertained by a few of this type, perhaps even Jurassic Park in some ways, but to lambaste the entire "art house" genre, simply because it fails to excite your senses, is really overstepping the lines of good reason.

I could imagine you watching Jim Jarmusch's first feature, "Stranger Than Paradise," and falling sound asleep, due to the one shot takes and sparse dialogue. Still, this is no reason to plow over all who appreciate the wit and deadpan script and production. My bet is you have seen very few films of this nature to pass a learned opinion on the entire genre. Still, it is your every right to do so and so you do.

Frankly, I dont know why I wandered in here (this thread) again. Maybe I saw ole Rich's name and wondered what succinct morsel he had let fly. After reading another one of your responses, I found myself drawn in yet again.

I guess I should have learned something in the last exchange.
