Oh, come on! When do you enjoy something as anything more than a popcorn flick? \:p

Many people do, and perhaps I should too. Hitchcock himself said the three most important things for a film are the script, the script and the script.

As much as I have in the past ranted and raved about how a story is secondary to the visual and audio aesthetic in which it is presented, I can never fully enjoy a film if its dialogue is shit or if the plot isn't written well.

So yeah, you're probably right. I was probably off base even saying there was a holy trinity to a film's success in the first place. Ignore that comment. \:\)
