We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
I can recommend the movie. Beautifully shot.
ReplyDeleteand this is art, beauty at once. Like she is turning towards the Enlightenment as it starts flickering, a bright face for a new age.
ReplyDeleteMmm, noticed the film at the vidio store last week.
ReplyDelete'Screenography' is doing fine these days. Of course it looks good, of course it's shot good. But is it good?
