Feb 25 07 1:20 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Um, no I didn't notice that, Bill. You're far too subtle for me. Just like TR.

Feb 25 07 9:47 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	*Quote:* I tip my hat to all those film historians and film critics whose writings propelled my interest in films, guided me to significant movies both good and bad, raised and answered questions in my mind, and provided many hours of mental debate. I'm sure I'd be less enriched had I ignored their work. I quite agree that film historians deserve a 'tip of the hat' and much more. The debt we owe people like Tom Weaver (as an example from our favorite genre) can never be repaid, that's for sure. But film critics/reviewers? It's difficult for me to think of a profession that contributes less to society. And having been one for several years myself, I think I'm speaking honestly. The idea that someone would go see a movie based on a positive review by a clown like Rex Reed makes me physically ill. Frankly, I don't understand why anyone would want to read any film reviewer's comments before seeing a movie, no matter how savvy. I don't think I've read a review before seeing a movie in over twenty-five years (ever since local gnome Phillip Wuntch revealed that Luke was Vader's son, probably). Now, after seeing a film is quite different. It's sometimes a real hoot to go to Rotten Tomatoes to read the ridiculous comments (pro or con, depending) from director-wannabes who don't even know the difference between a zoom and a dolly shot. Close friends are the only people we should listen to on these matters, even if it's in a reverse-barometer way. I've found that my friends give me the perfect input (and without spoiling anything) on deciding whether I want to see something or not. If you don't have any close friends, then trailers, credits, and subject matter should suffice.

Feb 25 07 3:35 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	*Quote:* How about a mobster, professional gambler, prostitute, or (dare I say it) a politician? You're right, I forgot about politicians! But I did say it was difficult, not impossible. I should also say that 'contributing to society' is not something I would get a gold star for myself. The difference is that I realize it. Of course, it's all subjective. I happen to feel that professional athletes contribute even less, but that's only because I think film is vastly more important than sports. And, although they offer me nothing personally, I think prostitutes contribute more than most people realize.

Mar 26 07 12:27 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Considering that Leonard Maltin was made to apologize for Arthur Shield's Irishness while introducing THE HARDY BOYS as a remnant "of less enlightened times," I'm skeptical!

I may be wrong, but I don't think apologizing for an Irishman's natural Irishness would have naturally occurred to Maltin, who venerates all the great stars of years past. I would imagine he was asked to make some kind of "politically correct" comment in his script. When I heard this, it made me wonder if Disney had released DARBY O'GILL on DVD with all kinds of PC caveats.
