I thought Casino was one of the best films I've ever seen and Sharon Stone was ROBBED of an Oscar. She as brilliant in this movie.

The problem I see in Hollywood is not in production or acting; it is in the scripts.

I was speaking to that when I mentioned "Man of La Mancha." Nothing wrong with that script.

Shalom.

It sucked so badly because Loren and O'Toole COULDN'T SING!

So you thought Rex Harrison was singing in My Fair Lady?

Maybe they couldn't act like they were singing and Harrison can, but Harrison can't sing and My Fair Lady was fine.

Hepburn couldn't sing either, but they dubbed her voice. Not Harrison's, though.

I'm going to stand by my original thesis that it's difficult to make a good movie and not everyone with a camera can do it.

Shalom.
