The script was a joke, the acting was a bigger joke, but it was a really wonderful evocation of a particular time and place - and had staggeringly good special effects. Which is to say, it's a Gone With The Wind for the 90s---a sweeping epic whose greatest virtue is that it's a sweeping epic....but Academy Awards? For that old lady? Pathetic..... And I really don't know where Peter is coming from. The entire point of SPR was the blood and guts. It was real. It was horrifying. It was loud. It was disorienting. It was totally confusing. It was war. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Mark Rabiner Sent: Thursday, February 18, 1999 3:13 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: [Leica]now:B&W photography "Kotsinadelis, Peter (Peter)" wrote: > > BD, > > I vote for James Cameron.

Terminators' were great though. Titanic made me more than puke, I am ready to join discussion groups to sit around and creatively badmouth it in my spare time. Mark Rabiner
