Glad you found us! Yes I know what you mean about "lonely"
The movie lovers at FR are very definitely in the minority & made to feel like second rate citizens most of the time.
Every time I post a movie thread (I dont do many due to hecklers) I get slammed in one way or another.
I start these threads to have fun discussion with fellow enthusiasts...not to spar & defend what I consider enjoyable & to be made morally deprived for enjoying the flicks along the way
Well, I really appreciate this thread. All of Hollywood is not bad or evil or political. It was worth watching the whole boring four hours tonight just to hear Helen Mirren and Forrest Whitaker. I love storytelling, I love movies, and a great movie..a good story well told..has the power to change the world. They certainly make my world more interesting! The Queen was spectacular. I even enjoyed The Last King of Scotland. Last night we saw Amazing Grace. I could only hope we see it honored in next year's awards, but since it is about an 18th century Christian I won't hold my breath. Seriously, I can't recommend it highly enough.
