I'm sorry TIS, but I'm afraid I can't do that. grin

Of course I've never understood walking out on a movie, especially after you paid.

For some reason, Pitt under director David Fincher seems to kick ass in acting. Otherwise Pitt has a bad tendency to coast on his physical charisma (i.e. SPY GAME), though he was also good in Tony Scott's TRUE ROMANCE, Ridley Scott's THELMA & LOUISE, and Coen Brothers' BURN AFTER READING (which you would quite enjoy TIS.)

I think a good question to ask you is, what genres do you enjoy most?



Actually that's not easy to answer. In a nutshell, I guess I'd say I like drama, but that covers so much (suspense, action, mystery). I am a big fan of crime/courtroom drama, but also love action/espoinage type films like the Bourne series (keep me updated as I hear talk of a 4th.) wink I love some blockbusters like Titanic; then again I enjoy action in the Die Hard films.

I watched only a couple days ago "The Notebook" which I thought was so sweet and sad. Usually, the only genre film I don't pay to see is comedy. IF it's something I think I'll like, I'll wait for it to go to HBO or rental. Don't know why. I find some comedy very corny/oddball, and yet I find others that are to actually corny, like a couple Jim Carrey films, quite hilarious. Go figure!

I like horror films too, but not so much the slasher films that are slasher just for the sake of it. I don't cringe at blood but don't like guts flying all over necessarily. lol

Well, not that it means anything, but that's my taste in a nutshell.
