The 1 in the first movie. ^This. Tarantino desperately needs an editor to step in an murder his darlings. Jackie Brown in particular is the most bloated, inexplicably self-satisfied disaster that I’ve seen—and will never see again. So far in this whole topic I’ve not seen 1 definition of what “art” is, nor 1 description of what constitutes “good” and “bad” within that definition. You folks are not formally criticizing art—and, not for nothing, different art forms (e.g., music, literature, fine art, theater) all have different critical criteria—you’re whining and bitching. Have fun. New doesn’t sell. Tried and true makes money. Sheesh. It’s not rocket science. Reason to hate: Mickey Rourke shirtless. My eyes! My eyes! “Buy cinema tickets.” How pre-COVID-19, and how quaint. VANILLA SKY!? *snort laugh* They won’t take the call. It happens. Years ago they tried to shove Jill Clayburgh down our throats. Yeah, I know: WHO? Some folks give great casting couch. They survived yes. They were also permanently fucked up. The notion is called “consequences.” Sheesh. Not for nothing, Ninjas were craven assassins, not warriors. They killed by means of stealth and deception, not by honorable combat. Ginger Snaps is one of the very few really good werewolf movies, budget notwithstanding, and Ginger Snaps Back was that rarity, an INVENTIVE sequel. Both are far from being “crap.” Wild guess, being that it’s a Netflix McSeries: it doesn’t. Unless you’re on drugs. ^This. Wick is Action Movie Porn. ^This. It’s also usually all they can think of. Except for some forms of gambling, self-acquired wealth requires intelligence in any field, except perhaps for crime, where brains are required for staying out of jail. Furthermore, please note that the topic headline stipulates “visionary.” She’s a knockout. Congratulations on your pedestrian taste. I won’t read your reply, if any. Good point, Kate; but let’s swap genders for a trice. A lady’s crutch underwear is always called “a pair of panties,” or just “panties.” Never seen nor heard the garment called “a panty.” And I don’t WANT it called that. There is something SO EROTIC about the seeming plural. It’s like there’s MORE there. So panties it is. The Sears Catalogue was very popular for its use as toilet paper. Also, people panic too easily. Panic’s not conducive to thought. Then you haven’t seen Byzantium. I think you mean “Holy moly,” Catbookss. I think this discussion is beneath both of us.
