That dog won't hunt no matter how hard you wag it from the tail.

... "The question you should be asking yourself... is... how come everybody else here finds something to say about movies, while you - for who knows how long - have produced nothing but kindergarten level personal insults." <<<

Calling a film or series of films $#!+ isn't exactlly an intelligent examination of cinematic merit, especially when the scatological comments are curtly expressed and aren't even followed up with a cursory critique. If that's what you use this forum for, then fine, but at least be honest about it. You're not fooling anyone about who's dishing out "kindergaten level" insults when you allign yourself with folks who treat certain films in such a dismissive manner that it impunes the tastes of those who like them.

>>> "If all you can do is sit in the corner, bitter at the whole world that someone did not like the toy you brought to the playground, sulking and spitting out stupid pre-adolescent insults, then be it, fine with us. That however does not present you as an opponent worth acknowledging or responding to." <<<

Well, you're certainly entitled to your opinions, no matter how off target your invective obviously is, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over the inaccuracy of your personal criticism unless Donald Rumsfeld decides to use your mind as a blueprint for missile guidence. Dude, now THAT is a scary thought! ;^)

BTW, I've been down the route of acknowledging and responding to you in a sincere and open discussion, and while you & patrick possess impressive egos, I've seen little in the way of constructive film critique. The reasons the discussions usually devolve into something disrespectful is the confrontational attitude you "Romper Room" Ropers & Eberts espouse (...sorry, I forgot, you're more in tune with Larry the Cable Guy, aren't you?).

>>> "A fool is as fool does." <<<

Thanks for the words of wisdom, Forrest! Maybe you should share them with your "sole" mate since you popped over at his request from the great Outside just to stick your own clod-hoppers into the fray. I'll give you credit for the brazen defense of his sophomoric scatological comments (as a substitute for film criticism) by trying to divert attention to my responses, but it's still a lame effort on your part.

On a more positive socks-half-full-as-opposed-to-half-empty note, you should have no difficulty with the delicate surgical removal of his foot from his mouth regardless of his shoe size (you've had plenty of experience refining this surgical proceedure through extricating your own foot on numerous occasions, have you not?). :o)
