But I won't say that because "just don't get" is a difficult accusation to substantiate.
Maybe I'll say that I get the impression people are too quick to dismiss it and/or view it very cynically.

re. caterbury tale: the powell & pressburger one from...er...1943? 1942?
re. carmen jones: based on the hammerstein black-cast musical which was based on bizet's opera (which was based on merimee's short story). starring dorothy dandridge and harry belafonte (both beautiful), directed by otto preminger. for some lucid thoughts on this movie see v.f. perkins, 'film as film.' (though it hasn't received much more critical notice.)
re. melodramas: i don't know, i like big outsized emotions put across with integrity. i like to cry at the movies. re. leave her to heaven, i like john stahl's strange hard-edged lighting, rusty colors, and deep focus. also gene tierney. creepy implied incest subplots are always good. see also: preminger's angel face w/jean simmons and robert mitchum.

i actually have no idea where i failed to "leave mordy alone." i don't think i engage with, or criticize, him any more than anyone else. i'm a bit mystified but i guess i'll consider it more in the future.
― wizzz! (amateurist), Monday, 16 November 2015 20:17 (eight years ago) link
oh, i guess i did call you 'snotty' since you were mocking the idea that a communications professor would write about 'twilight.' i guess i think that is a little snotty. it doesn't seem like a particularly merciless putdown and i don't mean any real ill will.
― wizzz! (amateurist), Monday, 16 November 2015 20:18 (eight years ago) link
ok no worries. normally i wouldn't notice but you wrote these two posts within a week of each other and snotty is the kind of thing you don't get called very often (tho ironically i do have a very strong high school memory in reference to being called snotty so i was susceptible to it standing out).

well now that i found the posts you reference, the other time i called you "snotty" is when you made a very snarky blanket dismissal of folks who support BDS. i'm actually not sure where i sit in relation to BDS, and i can see the points on both sides, but i think your caricature of people who would support BDS was, indeed, rather snotty.
so i guess this comes down to us having disagreements and me calling you names, for which i'm sorry. but that's pretty par for the course on ILX, and in context it doesn't seem like the strongest insult, really.
i dunno.
