AMELIE

[miker]

you didn't offer an appraisal of why you think it's worth anything leaving me the impression that you thought we should be cultured enough darling to know all about it ourselves because we all read the guardian or something

i've spent all sunday watching 5 planet of the apes films -- so fscking what!

I'm not going to write a pretentious 2000 word essay of why you should all go watch it. All I wanted to know was if anybody else out there had seen this film and what did they think, because I?m curious.
You haven?t seen the film nor are you interested in seeing it so why bother even posting.

BTW, Alien Resurrection and Delicatesson were by the same director.

What points on Amelie do you want to share exactly?

Perhaps you could tease people into actually going to see it and broaden their minds instead of creating a vehicle for me start another rant ;-)

I know he made Alien Resurrection, probably for a quick buck.

People have different opinions about films, what makes you think that my personal thoughts on the film will be any better then your friends, the critics. If you don?t want to see it because it?s a critic favourite, or you fill that I'm a twat who is hopping on to a bandwagon Then fear not, don?t go to see it. I saw the trailer a while back, it instantly appealed to me, critic favourite or not. I had remembered the other films Mr. J had done and was guessing I was in for a treat and I was right.

"What points on Amelie do you want to share exactly?" <--- All of it. The film in general, I'm just curious

So for the last time has anybody else seen the said film?

To be honest I rarely look at who's made a post, just the content then respond in a manner I find appropriate.

I think (I know) my problem is that I am sort of 'anti-popularist' and I am definitely generally against mediated experiences, which could include film but definitely includes critics and magazine opinions - especially when such publications can be so easily bribed.

You want a Waterstone's Book of The Week? Just make your ?10,000 cheque payable to Waterstones ...

I just wish wish wish people would WAKE UP to how marketing works, and how it skews your version of reality.

In the end, only YOU can form your opinion ... if you can be bothered.

I hate the way car adverts have suddenly embraced extreme sports for example ...
