Robocop is a classic. Deadpan irony seems to be lost on you. Verhoeven is a master of the Classical camera style one finds in studio system-era Hollywood films.
Yup, I'm toooooo stoooooopid, duuuude!
"Words can also be decosntructed as Verhoeven did in ST."
"A film is judged by camera movement and framing, editing rhythm. Not fidelity to the source material."
"Verhoeven is a brilliant natural filmmaker."
Enough examples of your quotes, though I could mine many more gems from this thread alone....
You either sat in one too many film classes, and wrote copious notes but never challenged your professors or thought about what they meant ("Oh, wow, man, these films are, like, deconstructed, ya know, so they mean ezzackly what I say they mean, depending on what the definition of "mean" is, or "is" is, or sumthin'...but the one rule is that authorial intent and reality has no meaning, man"), or (shudder) you teach film theory to uncomprehending sophomores; such "thinking" does not pass muster here. I might ordinarily suspect, as you have used virtually every cliche of so-called modern film crit in your posts, that you might be having us on -- you know, being ironic and sarcastic, portraying a satiric view of those chowderheads...but I suspect, sadly, that that's not the case.
But we can stop this conversation here...you're obviously waaaay too smart, and so much more educated than I, so more of your wisdom would be wasted on poor lil ol me.
