In Reply to: Kevin does deserve a personal apology for this... posted by Isis on September 11, 2000 at 09:51:35:
: Yes, the fact that you enjoyed a movie which he did not enjoy and had no part in producing is incredibly relevant, for this board has instituted a new policy. If at any point you hold an opinion that contradicts Kevin's, particularly as it relates to a non-View Askew movie, you are all obligated to inform us IMMEDIATELY and then apologize repeatedly for this transgression. Self-flagellation and cries of "nooonnncch!" during apologies will get you extra credit. Anyone who uses the phrase "But Boogie Nights was really cool" is to be instantly banned.
: "Magnolia" was a damned good movie, IMO. Which has shit to do with Smith.

: P.S. The frog thing, people! It's a (rather pretentious) slavery analogy. PTA's playing upon the idea of the magnolia myth -- those who deny the awful realities of the past are condemned to suffer in the present. Jeez, the guy puts a couple of kooky visual metaphors in his flick and people act like he's Salva-fuckin-dor Dali. It ain't that far out.

: : Seriously tho, it was a kick-ass flick. Made me laugh, cry, hurt and go "WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?!" about 83 times. I enjoyed it a lot. Oh and, uh, the frogs??

: : Heh heh, sorry Kev.
