Found time to read your exchange with Analog Scott

It is unfortunate that some folks take to the keyboard before learning their subject. Seems like Scott's major thesis has been "Victor hates American movies!". Mama, what a tired and stale bit of old kaka!

He is right on one thing - I didn't watch much of that "movie". I would only under the threat of force to myself or my family. I think I stated before that if the LOTR was the last movie left on this planet, I would rather simply take a book or watch the sunset. But as I stated, I did see enough of it to know its quality - not much was needed, really. One hardly needs to extensively taste every bit of kaka to know what it is.

I guess that is where the experience comes in, and if Scott feels we all must experience every production out there to know something, then I think I shall gladly let him do it for all of us... as I simply refuse to waste my time on stuff I find objectinable.

Scott didn't like the quick dismissal... well, truth is by that time some of us were already tired of that old hat... of that boring subject called LOTR, and we surely could have lived without yet another reminder... this time with all that Oscar hoopla.

Sad truth is the LOTR hardly deserves anything other than a quick comment - and negative one is not exactly uncalled for. When one has opportunity to spend his time watching any of thousands of good films, stumbling on LOTR, and yet again... is a big annoyance, indeed.

You were right about being able to tell the quality of work in a matter of a short time. In that I certainly am not the quickest - I tend to give the work whole lot more time before changing channels than my wife does. She has a far more precise vision, and a virtually infallable intuition - she can tell it in just a few seconds usually. Just a few notes of the sound track usually are enough, just one or two faces... I often complain about such quick dismissal, knowing full well she is usually right. Might be interesting to see Scott surf the channels side by side with Anya - man, she is the quickest draw in the West... East... heck, the whole world seems like it.

Anyways, for people like Scott... we have been discussing movies here for long time. During that time we have covered quite a few - both good and bad from all possible places. Neither I, nor others, I belive, are going to repeat all our previous comments when a new gun comes in town. If that gun starts shooting from the hip, missing a few bad guys and killing a few horses, that is going to be his problem.

As in everything else, reading and learning before shooting your gun... or your mouth is always a good advice.

Ain't that funny how much emotion something as insignificant as a weak children's movie can sometimes generate?

Ain't is also funny how unable Scott was to show any reason why he actually loved the film? Inspite of your several requests.
