Letter to the Man I Love

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

Ok it’s really just a post to Roger Eberts blog, lol.  But if you know me you know I do love him.

Why has no one considered the idea that a large number of film lovers (as opposed to movie fans) couldn’t care less how a “perfect” the visual from the screen is or how impressive the sound.

Some of us just want an intriguing story, skilled acting, and if we are fortunate enough, good editing, lighting, directing and cinematopgraphy.  That’s it.  Why can’t hollywood focus on that?

If the movie is banal or has a story we have seen before who cares how clear and large the picture is?  Give me a good film on a small black and white tv using an antenna then the usual dreck on a really big, high definition screen any day.

Is It a Slow News Day at NBC?

Dateline is actually doing a “special report” on IPod theft?  Come on!  Is there nothing else happening in the world?

The special has started with footage of someone stealing an IPod off the seat of a car through an open window.   If this is the problem, I suggest people who want to leave their IPod in the car to roll up the damn windows.  

Who the hell cares if someones Ipod was stolen?  Get another one. They should have been more careful.

I suppose this story will be followed by breaking news of what Lindsey Lohan is wearing to court.

For crying out loud. :(
