"the American moviegoing public will line up out of habit and compulsion . . .". True to form, when the unwashed masses deviate from the tastes of elite media (the supposed champions of people) they are branded as lemmings.

So true. Remember what junk won Best Picture just a couple of years ago?

Shakespear in Love

Now, I have nothing against William Shakespear, nor the concept of love. In fact, I fancy both quite a bit. But this "un filme" should not have been voted dogcatcher....especially when the movie that should have won that year was this!

But you know what? Many voting members of the Academy admitted they never even watched Spielburg's Saving Private Ryan! They wanted "Love", not "War."

Hey, the STAR WARS pictures may not be perfect, but I'll watch 'em three times each before I ever go see another movie that these elites love, like The English Patient.

Say WHAT?!?

No wonder the film I consider the best of the last decade did not win.
