This is the incorrect decision.

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (Mike Nichols) - 9/10

(I felt Richard Burton should've won too).

I mean, it is rather ironic (and hypocritical) that you ridicule a person for not liking a film that is specifically about spirituality and kindness as opposed to cruelty and humiliation.

Yeah, why have you been (so very obviously) picking on Penelope lately, Damien? It hasn't even been done in a clever way either, just snide, bitchy and cruel, like he's now an enemy of yours' who needs to be emotionally destroyed.

How dare you speak of Joel and Michael that way! Why, I oughta...

I've not seen the film, nor am I ever likely to, but let's try to keep things civil. I know we all get hot-headed when our personal favorites are attacked whether unnecessarily or not, but we all have opinions. We all have likes and dislikes. They are not a shared item. We are film lovers and as such we share a commonality. We might not all agree on this film, but we might agree on others that still more will dislike.

Let's keep in mind that this is a community unlike any other and that, like it or not, we're all family. Just because you don't like someone or someone's opinion is no cause to treat them like shit.

So, let's improve the level of discourse here and let our extreme feelings towards individuals be replaced by extreme feelings against Joel Schumacher or Michael Bay or something more constructive.

One of the few times I am totally on Damien's side.

Susan Slade (Delmer Daves, 1961) 4/10

Dated film that has three positive things going for it......only. The lovely location/scenery, Dorothy McGuire and Lloyd Nolan.

The two leads, Connie Stevens and Troy Donahue are just lovely to look at......nothing more.

Balthazar is a film which I adore - just thinking about it makes me feel like weeping - but to balance things for poor Penelope - who seems to be coming in for some pretty unreasonable ridicule here - my best friend, whose taste lines up pretty closely with mine on most things, despised it.

I have to interject here and say I have seen Au Hasard Balthazar twice and the ending never fails to move me.

Hmm....I'd just put the movie in my Netflix queue a week or so ago. Given this split, I'm really looking forward to it, now.

Anyone who is blind/deaf to the offerings of Balthazar deserves cruelty. Anyone who espouses their blindness/deafness on a board of halfway intelligent film fans is begging for it.

Personally, I prefer Empress.

Pretentious, dull, horribly acted religious fable. At least François Lafarge in his tight pants is nice to look at.

:O

There are no words.

1/10 :laugh:
