(the special screening of 'Jaws'
: has become a special screening of 'Do the Right Thing', by the by - a film
: I love just as much).
Now I've been a DO THE RIGHT THING booster for quite somne time, but are you willing to cede that the phrase "love just as much" might be a bit of hyperbole?
Now I'm all for making fun of christ and god, but when you go saying that a movie, ANY movie, is just as highly esteemed as JAWS, well then, sirrah, that is simply *blasphemy.*
If you "love it just as much," why was the trash-can-through-the-window-scene of CHASING AMY cut, while the scar=comparison scene was left in, Mr. Love-as-much-as? Huh?
Your opinions are your own, and you have every right to them. But you know just as well as I that if a madman came into your house and threatened to snap your JAWS DVD in half, you'd scream out, "NO! For te love of god- break the GODFATHER, crush DO THE RIGHT THING under your madman's boot, but leave JAWS alone!"
OK, maybe I'm projecting.
