i watched the great escape.
not so great. i was hoping that it would be one of those 1 & 1/2 hour movies. no. it had to be 3 hours long. three hours ! gah. it was so boring. and, personally, i thought the scrounger (or whatever he was called) was cooler than steve mcqueen.

Besides Spartacus...

I find 2001: A Space Odyssey utterrly painful to watch.

I couldn’t wait for Mulholland Drive to end and really can’t stand Titantic.

I know there are others, but those three are good examples.

I love Lawrence of Arabia.

Note to Caiti: No yelling at me over the boat movie. We’ve had this discussion. :)

Kel needs to get other stuff done!!

YES!

My film-freak friends thought I was a mutant for not liking 2001!! Once I began writhing on the floor making caustic comments, they got pretty upset with me. :)

I didn’t wait for the end of Mulholland Drive, although I like Nick Nolte as an actor.

I woul consider myself

a film freak, in that I love foreign, classic, and artistic films. I even find Fellini’s later films entertaining to watch.

Thus, I respect 2001 from a technical point of view and would love to see it in Cinerama, which is the type of theater it was created for.

However, that film is utterly boring. I think Stanley Kubrick was either hit or miss throughout his career and to me this one is a miss in that it has no entertainment value at all and most of the artistic messge is rather oblique.

Even Amarcord? Satyricon, maybe!

Okay, you can be a film freak, but not a intellectually snobbish one, okay? I do, however, admire your use of “oblique!” And just hours ago I was trying to figure out how to insert “chin music” into a sentence! :)

Kubrick hit or miss, yes. As a movie lover but not movie freak, I’d agree in my less sophisticated way. I thought Barry Lyndon was another writhe-inducing experience.

Don’t you east coast people sleep at night??
