thanks capo de la cosa nostra. i liked the way you said there was a difference between great movies and personal favorites. the slowness can really get to you, because at times (and please everybody don't bit my head off), the slowness is unwarranted. there are parts that need to be slow (all great movies have these), and there are parts that don't necessitate it. i would find it hard to believe that many people believe the plot of OUATIA's was more engrossing or entertaining.
