And who are Mark, Luke, Matthew and John? Never heard of them.
You saw the flick and didn't think it was incredibly powerful? Mercy! BTW, Mark, Matthew, Luke and John were in Ringo's first band. Ringo left them to join John, Paul, and George. No fool, our Ringo!

My word, Tony, I nearly fell off the chair! You have GOT to get your own show.
Do they have Public Access TV in Arkansas? If my brother can have his own long-running TV show on Public Access in NYC (he interviews theatre and movie folks and he's not funny), then surely you can wow the locals with your wit and ... er, eh... wisdom. I'd pay to see it!

Any place else, just doesn't equate!Now I know how people feel when then run into a New Yorker who thinks there is no other place on the planet. I'm a native New Yorker, and unlike yourself and most of my family, I've chosen to live here my entire life. Heaven help me, I hope I don't sound so arrogant when I speak about NY, but I probably do.
Yes, NYC is unique. It's big, it's bold, it's beautiful, it's an in-your-face city like no other. But that doesn't make it better than any other city, town or hamlet, just different.
Thanks for the eye-opener, NYCJoe. Gave me some insight into how I must sound from time to time.
P.S. It's a lot easier to read posts in which you are responding to someone when you use the quote brackets that automatically highlight the quotes to which you are replying. Otherwise it's very confusing to follow the flow of your thoughts.

Mike, read this whole thread. It will take you an amazing journey.

I was going to quote your previous post, but it would have been a jumbled mess. Let's just agree to disagree. You managed to twist almost every point I made into some bizzaro-world version of it's intent.
In my post I was defending Arkansas by saying they had museums, an arts district, libraries, etc. I was not defending gay people. I don't give a flying fuck about the gay community and I am sorry if I gave you the impression that I did. And I don't have a chip on my shoulder about anything. So nanny-nanny-boo-boo.
Apparently you feel you are smarter than I and who am I to deny you that pleasure? Thank you for the stimulating reply.
Thank you for your valuable lessons on Geography and epic tour of NY's district. And for the record, I have no chip on my shoulder when it comes to arkansas. I am not an Arkansan, never will be.
You obviously have your opinions formed so I wish you well with them.
One thing I can say for certain is that you aren't boring.

Actually this movie is based on a very small part of those books Mike. I was kinda shocked he didn't even include the reserection. That would havat least left you with a good feeling, but Mel knows how to generate controversy. Showing it so brutally and in your face left many with their jaws dropped. My friends dragged me to it, probably hoping I would find something in it to return to the flock. I don't know what they expected to see, but it sure shut em up for awhile.
They acted as if the guy on screen was actually Jesus and that they had never given it a thought about how he died. KRW

I'll keep you in mind and try to type slower.
