Wish Inchabod Campbell had a sub-board where we could get off-topic with a clear conscience. I saw two movies this weekend that fell at opposite ends of the quality spectrum: "Crouching Tiger" and
"Uh-TILL-a". Betcha can't guess which one I had more sadistic fun picking apart...

Starting With the Mouthbreather Pronunciation...
"Uh-TILL-a" don't cut it: it's AT-il-uh, dammit! (Just ask any Hun...or Hungarian.)
And there aren't enough Hmong guys (or even Navajos) in the US who could've used the extra bucks, acted better than Gerard Butt-Head, and looked like authentic ASIAN nomadic horsemen to boot? Arrgh...
Stay tuned for: Roman Battle Tactics -- Everything I Know I Learned From Watching "Conan The Barbarian"...

Agghh! You think I'd pay MONEY to watch that dreck? It was on teevee! I'm still scrubbin the screen with Lysol!
(Admittedly, I did pay 6 bucks a head up in Lex to watch Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger", and it was worth every cent. No nit-pickin' complaints there, as long as you suspend your disbelief that martial arts types can fly like Peter Pan. TEN Academy Award nominations, and at least several are deserved!)

Very poetic visual effects indeed :) But I'm fed up with great love stories that never quite culminate for idiotic reasons!

Not having seen either movie, I didn't quite feel qualified to comment. :) I wait till they all come out on DVD now. I just don't enjoy the "movie theatre experience" these days.
Unless, of course, I'm going to a midnight screening of *The Rocky Horrow Show*. In which case, I'm careful to pack my roll of Scott toilet tissue, water pistol, deck of playing cards, etc.
Now THAT'S entertainment! :D

That's P.C. Canadian for "Sacre Bleu! I hit the wrong keys". (Another generation of wholesale Canuck chain-smokin' and our Friends to the North can drop the bilingual charade. Nobody speaks that sorta-French west of Kitchener anyway.)
Shoulda been "Ichabod" Campbell, as per the Redneck translator. Uh, nothing personal, Mike.
