Oops. I was making a humorous snipe at Jim K, and didn't notice that another Jim had posted in the meantime. :b I was joking about his statement that he loses readers after the first paragraph. Sorry for the confusion.

What's onscreen is not the script we agreed on Fritz!
Naturally, because in the script it is written, and on the screen it's pictures. Motion picture, it's called.

I like you better without the hat and cigar.
I'm just imitating Dean Martin in "Some Came Running."


Well it's in mine as it's an outstanding film and DVD, but since you have no interest in a discussion, I'll spare you my comments which you would obviously disagree with.

I did like everything in the house, the long conversation at the table etc. but I was also tired. I'll give it another chance some time, as it's the sort of film that benefits from a second viewing.
