He he :D But don't fall for this IQ thing - it is nonesense :D
Yep. Seven times. I was crap at it. I am still crap at it. But I had to sit for it for University Admission. In the end they took pity in me and let me in :DQuote:
But wait a minute..you failed your English exam SEVEN times?! Why?! lol
He he :D
But no. Saying JK Rowling is engaging writer than Byatt or Faulkner is not taking vengeance on "Elitist" society :D I love Kubrick, Akira Korousawa, Satyajit Ray...and they are intellectual giants when it comes to cinema...but they are also engaging...:D
I do enjoy reading Lote's threads and replies...:D
I like reading your short story and your blog about the movies. As I get older I find I don't appreciate most movies as much as I used to. Perhaps because the reason d'etre for American movies is the old bottom line,
and if the film is artistic in anyway then that's just icing on the cake, superfluous. Some of the movies today just make me appreciate the old movies (Preston Sturges, Billy Wilder,etc.) so much better. I do enjoy Woody Allen movies though.

Perhaps you are right Aunty. Perhaps these days the special effects and technology takes over most movies in determent to the story and characters. But there is also some good stuff for example - the first Matrix movie - take away the special effects - the story is indeed very original and has deep philosophical implications. And the growing World Cinema especially from Asia is making cinema interesting again (well to me at least :D)
Yes, I liked all three Matrix movies and I really enjoyed (if that's the word) V, which was set in the U.K. I don't get to see any movies unless they get to television or on DVD.
