film classes don't make me an expert by any means, but they did make me watch movies in a more critical manner. we didn't just watch all artsy fartsy foreign films either; shit, we watched dirty harry and easy rider in one of them. this isn't about who is more critical really. i don't care about ranking myself or being seen as some kind of movie guru. but i do however, have strong opinions about film based on years and years of watching both foreign and domestic, commercial and independent, cheap and expensive, old and new, good and very crappy movies. i'll debate them with anyone. reaper, sorry man, the Wrestler just didn't do it for me. it was ok, but nothing groundbreaking. how about we discuss something older than the last few years, soderbergh references withstanding?

I know what film classes are all about. I have a degree in film. That whole back and forth between you two was cracking my shit up. |

not really a pissing contest for me, though it is fun to get reaper started on his compulsive quest to be considered the most knowledgeable on every subject.

Do I lose Reaper snob points if I also agree that The Wrestler was very mediocre outside of one outstanding acting performance?

I actually thought The Wrestler was outstanding, primarily for Rourke's performance (and Marisa Tomei being naked 90 percent of the time didn't hurt).

I would compare watching many of the Euro classics with reading literature. Takes some effort to digest but equally rewarding.

Or... maybe I was the only one that thought we were just talking about movies. Well, that was nice even though it didn't last long.

i'm just busting your chops man.
i also thought that we were just discussing movies. pissing contents tend to be a bit more contentious. |

I'm in no way disappointed with any disagreements phisherman and I have. I am pretty ****ing disappointed that the beginnings of a nice movie conversation between me and phisherman were apparently held under the ulterior motive of "getting me going." |

you shouldn't take that the wrong way, perhaps i used the wrong words. i enjoy the conversation.
you have good concise opinions that differ from mine. no biggie, i like the discourse. besides, considering the "Reaper's Wheel of Snobbery" label, you should probably expect responses like the one from Miles. i'll admit, it made me chuckle. |
