NO SHOWS

I just want to note that I will not be watching two of the NYTimes Best 1176 films.

The first is Shrek which I actually saw and felt woozy throughout.

I didn't really like any of it.

I did stay for the whole thing and that would make it a 2.

I am certainly not going to watch it again.

The second is Shoah (1985)

I just can't stand any more holocaust horrors.

I have been watching this stuff for over 60 years.

I know it happened. I am still horrified at it. I am past the point of conversion to any other point of view that it was totally evil. I don't need any more to send me along that line of thinking.

The film is also 9 1/2 hours long.

Enough already.

There is some point at which we have to thing 'exploitation' for the sake of money, prestige, reputation. What? If it helps the victims to get this all out, great. Mission accomplished.

I think that these are the only two films that I skipped. There may be other but they would have been some time ago. I have been at this for a couple of years.

We are in the S's. There are a lot of them. The most popular title initial.
