Re: Satire has always appealed to one audience a certain way and to another a different way (Gulliver’s Travels...)

Well, when necessary... go to the source!

Was it not Jonathan Swift who offered, "Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody's face but their own."

Me thinks, Borges... it would be better for you to look in a regular mirror before giving artsy-fartsy platitudes as cover for a very bad film.

Not to put too fine a point on it... it is your opinion and we must respect that...

But I do honestly believe you just have acute occulossis... that means your optic nerve has gotten crossed with your rectum and given you a crappy outlook. I think you might have caught it from Verhoeven.

But kick back... and have another beer. Kiss a babe. The cure for occulossis is free here at FR!

Then why... do you charge me $50 every time I come here?

Latex gloves, Frank... do not grow on trees.

A wise man once said that its fruitless to argue when your opponent has an arsenal of pictograms.
