Same here in Georgia, Mr Worf. My niece told me about it one day when she got home from school, that, odds are, once she finishes the classes for her rotation, they'll be dropped from curriculum. Sad indeed. On Sun, Apr 25, 2010 at 7:33 AM, Mr. Worf wrote: > > > I think they don't care and the y

I think they don't care and the youngsters think that the bad story telling is factual. For example, the movie 300. A lot of youngsters thought that the movie was 100% factual. (or close to it) On a related topic, I was talking to a friend that is a music teacher. He said that they have been talki

One more reason I'm against remakes/reboots. They're inherently aimed at the Boomer audience, and the producers often presume that the history of the story is known to the viewers before they walk into the theater. On Sun, Apr 25, 2010 at 7:21 AM, Mr. Worf wrote: > > > I was a little surprised b

I was a little surprised by the number of kids that were there. I got the feeling that they sacrificed some of the background stories for pacing. Which seems to be the norm nowadays. On Sun, Apr 25, 2010 at 3:57 AM, Martin Baxter wrote: > > > Sign me up, Mr Worf. I was sick of it the second time

Sign me up, Mr Worf. I was sick of it the second time I saw it used. As for "Clash of the Titans", I've seen it through... alternative means. Meh. Didn't care much for the original, but I'll still take it, given the choice between the two. On Sun, Apr 25, 2010 at 5:37 AM, Mr. Worf wrote: > > >

I think its time to start a petition to stop the shaky camera technique. Tonight I went to the mall with a few friends to check out Clash of the Titans. I was promptly reminded why I hate watching movies in the theater vs the large screen and privacy at home. Behind me someone's kid was chitchatti
