As I understand it a movie that cost some two hundred million dollars to make is not doing well in the theaters. So if a team with so much experience, talent and money can’t simply entertain an audience for a couple hours, how is a man or woman supposed to succeed in a life without soundtrack? Perhaps the media has contributed to expectations that are for most of us beyond possibility to meet. "I am too close to be dreamt of by him. I do not fly over him, do not escape from him under the roots of a tree. I am too near.... ... I am too near to fall to him from the sky. My scream could wake him up. Poor thing I am, limited to my shape,... From "I Am Too Close..." Wislawa Szymborska |

I disagree with the critics and the majority of dis-pleased audience. The movie is not as visually entertaining as other epic films, but it still tells a great story that requires the movie goer to listen rather than just watch. With that said, I think we have reached a level of expectation that is going to push the bar in film making. Its a moving standard that makes humanity great. We are never satisfied until we reach the next level and there is always another level. I think currently in the movie industry we are at a time of technological advancement. I think it is going to be in the theater side, which refers to seating, screens, projectors, etc. Along with the continuing advancement of computer graphics, animation and movietronics. I don't think we have reached the level of expectation exceeding ability. |

Well, I'll give this to you, John: you have a knack for clever thread titles. I haven't seen this film yet, although I want to. Perhaps I'll drag Michael there for our honeymoon.  More later. |
