I appreciate your comment an...Thanks, Mark, I will. I appreciate your comment and the hidden insult, which, incidentally isn't clever or too terribly insulting. After all, some of my favorite shows are cartoons, such as The Simpson's and Futurama. I assume, since you didn't seem to be aware of these adult-targeted cartoons (as per your comment), you've been suffering from tunnel vision, aimed primarily at hyped up crap like Sideways and the rest of that critic-coddled ilk.<BR/><BR/>Just so you know, I don't base my opinions on what the critics say. And I don't base my opinion on what the masses adore -- maybe you've seen the Titanic, but I haven't. And if I did, I'd like it because I like it, or I'd hate it because <I>I</I> hate it. Either way, it wouldn't be because I claim to be an "adult" who only likes "adult" things.<BR/><BR/>And anyway, since when did it become "adult" to indulge in and endorse trash? Oh wait, you're right, since we started accepting trash as beauty and porn as the norm. Everyone's a voyeur and a pervert secretly, right? At least, that's what Sideways is saying, but then, you probably missed that message sitting up on your high horse, feeling all adult and mature.<BR/><BR/>For the record, I realized long before you did that Sideways wasn't for me. Bravo. AND I congratulate you on your maturity -- it's really easy to visit people's blogs and leave a snide comment, without leaving a way to be reached. That's very adult of you.

Honestly, just watch cartoons, and let the adults have their fun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9977694.post-1113803642934552512005-04-18T00:54:00.000-05:002005-04-18T00:54:00.000-05:00And yet, the fact that people attend films like Si...And yet, the fact that people attend films like <I>Sideways</I>, and others with somewhat less graphic sex scenes, instructs film makers that they are justified in pushing the limits of decency. It baffles me that people believe they are "mature" enough to escape the effects of base-ness in film any more than any 13 year old. What kind of example is that to a kid? <BR/>What do you expect when viewing R-rated films? Language, sex, violence, depravity. Only a complete idiot could be surprised or disgusted at such things after they've voluntarily entered, paid, and watched a film that advertised those very traits!<BR/>Is it simply the particular combination of vulgarities? This blog contains enough profane language to make it at least PG-13, so language alone can't be the deciding factor in the author's above opinion. The author further clarifies that sex scenes alone aren't enough to dissuade her attendance of any film (porn anyone? That genre certainly has its share of on-screen "love" and "intimacy". Just shut your eyes and enjoy the plot...)<BR/>Violence obviously also lacks deterent effect for the blog's author. So what is she complaining about? Just Payne's particular combination of the tools used in all her favorite films. Can you hear this a few years down the road? "Mommy? Can I watch a movie from your private collection?" Hypocrisy, I tell you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
