Is there anything more uncool than Esther Williams's movies? "Jupiter's Darling" is a favorite (with Howard Keel)

And what about "The Desert Song" staring Gordon MacRae and Kathryn Grayson? How uncool is that? I own it and watch over and over.

What! "Galaxy Quest" is uncool? Shut your mouth!

And how uncool is the "Left Behind" movie I caught on TV one weekend? I only got through page three of the book, but the movie kept me interested.

And yes, Jed, I liked "Lost in Space" - the one with William Hurt - though it's not a film I watch over and over like the ones listed above.

BH needs to get its email program fixed. I wanted to email this to a teen I know who liked AK's other YA book, but the "image verification" kept failing even though typed exactly as shown. Anyone else having this problem?

"Wall Street" bothered me for one reason. Gorden Gekko's hair - Hollywood's idea of what "conservative, greedy Republicans" look like - long hair (like theirs) but greased down. It's a small thing, but something Hollywood should get right - character presentatioin. It's like current TV programs when the gals who work in the labs are dressed like they're getting ready to go out to a cocktail party.

I don't generally go to Spielberg films nor appreciate them except for "The Color Purple" which was well done and without any of the cutsey Spielberg touches that I could tell.

1. "Jurassic Park 2" was a mess. "Jurassic 3" nearly as good as the original.
2. Don't think I saw "Catch Me If You Can". DiCaprio is under-appreciated here as an actor, IMHO the permanent victim of bad casting ("Titanic") in which he came off as a 15 y.o. playing dress up. Word to actors - don't star in a Cameron film.
3. "War of the Worlds" - Tom Cruise and Dakota Fanning made it unwatchable. One found oneself rooting for the aliens if said aliens would get those two irksome characters off the screen.
4. I liked "Indiana Jones 4" better than any of the others. Not so much because it was a good script, but because it wasn't as bad a script as the other 3.

Remember "Munich" was produced during the Bush years when Hollywood was charged with making Israel and the US look bad.

I agree War is damaging to the human condition, so is unconditional surrender.

Coppola's "Black Stallion" was one of the most imaginative, beautiful films I've ever seen.

Stone is the Left's Leni Riefenstahl.

You guys saw stuff in A.I. that I missed entirely. Must have dozed off.
