Midnight Plowboy was a terrible movie. Worst movie Dustin Hoffman ever made. Galaxy Quest was a better movie, even with its shoddy editing.

Bluekitty,

By any chance are you a fine arts major or studying film making?? For someone who seems to deride others opinions of a film you are the one making repeated posts about individual factors about it. If you like the film that's fine. If someone else doesn't like the film that's fine too. That is one of the indications of being free to decide things for yourself.

FWIW, claiming oscars indicate the film was a great success is a bit stilted. Oscars are awards given to members of the industry by other members of the industry. In other words they are patting themselves on the back. The true indicator of a good film is how much $ it makes by people willing to fork over money to see it. That is the only test of popularity that counts.

well at least argureing about money and popularity is some crtique.....

but it still has little to do with movie makeing ....

and if popularity meant good ... John Grisman would be the best writer ever (rollseyes)

Are you guys trying to miss the logic, trolling, or just don't get it?

Because a plot point is a MINOR thing in movies. If your appreciation is limited to story lines.... I pity you.

You sure do enjoy referring to my name as "bottom," don't ya? Your obsession with holding hard things in your hand, the hatred of women, it's all a bit too over the top IMO

I think the closet you're hiding in is getting a little too small for you.

You never saw Ishtar?

Ok,..Midnight Plowboy was the worst movie, I have ever seen Dustin Hoffman act in.

For the record, I never saw Ishtar, so I cannot personally comment on it.

Now... take this same logic and apply it to music.

Consider rap music.

Outside of "Head Office", "Galaxy Quest" is probably the funniest move ever made

"Oooohhhh...Look at the cute little guys...OOooohhhhhh...that one's hurt, let's help him")

: (" Don't you people even WATCH THE SHOW!!??)

btw, snippet from this week's Coulter column:

Quote

In case you missed the Oscars last Sunday night, here are the highlights:
-- Best song went to a musical tribute to the overseers of human sex slaves, an occupation known as "pimping";

-- best picture went to a movie about racism in Los Angeles;

-- best supporting actor went to the movie about how oil companies murder people; and

-- best supporting actress went to the movie about how pharmaceutical companies murder people.

Curiously missing from Oscar night's festivities was any reference, even in passing, to the 150,000 brave Americans currently risking their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Sandy,

I'd rather not consider rap "music" at all thanks. If someone wants to spend money on it and listen to it, that's fine. As long as they do not make ME listen to it as well.

No on the contrary. It is the ONLY test that counts as far as I am concerned for the entertainment industry. That still does not mean it has to appeal to every sentient being in any given section of geography. It just has to apply to enough to make it worthwhile to produce the product.

I also want to exercise my right to not have it inflicted upon myself. That means I don't want to be forced to listen to it by everyone who can afford an amp and sterio. They are free to listen to it all they want. I want to be free from having to listen to it at the same time. Should be fairly easy to understand right?
