I'm a massive Gaiman fan, and I don't think it's Gaiman derivative. Or at least I didn't, when I read it, which was ... ugh... back when it came out. Now, I kinda see the Gaimanisms. But I know a ton of people who tried to read it and put it down. I'm glad I stuck with it. It was my favorite book of whatever fucking year that was.

have you seen the original wicker man? it's creepy and great. perfect for halloween movie season. the original is such a british movie though, i mean, the whole pagan stuff, the idea of nic cage in a hollywood remake of it is laughable from the start. i recall it was a huge fiasco when it came out.

Original Wicker Man is genuinely creeptastic. I never bothered with the Nick Cage version.

ironically while the nick cage version is mos def a terrible flick i found it better than the original. sure the original was an innovative film but it was technically crap and cheese

Spielberg is a master, indisputably.

pffffffttt!!!!

can't testify about the new one but i think you missed the point of the original wicker man by the width of 2 oceans

btw "don't look now" (mentioned there as part of original double feature) is also a great little movie

i respect your criticism of my opinion BUT its not fair for you to assert that just because someone doesn't like a film somehow means they failed to understand it. i understood Wicker Man just fine, i still think it is mos def crap production and cheesy acting.

as your audience, i'm booing you

no worries but i will call it out

crap production and cheesy acting is what b movies are all about-- and b movies can be great not just in spite but because of that-- because someone with no money went and made some shit they wanted regardless of obstacles

mark kermode (is that really mark kermode?) actually makes a point of that in the link in posted-- so many things are wrong with it etc. and yet-- because of it-- he loves it.

b movies have changed civilization, b movies can be fucking great, and the original wicker man is definitely one of the great b movies out there.

cool, i respect your opinion. notice i didn't make snide remarks about your level of comprehension.

as far as my opinion? there are b movies where the crap and cheese are still good enough indeed sometimes its part of the charm. personally i found it too much garbage to save the original Wicker Man which i also found to be sort of incoherent and confused.

realistically i thought wicker man should have been MST3K fodder

my remarks are never snide, they're blunt and direct, i don't camouflage my opinions, i give them both barrels and i'm specific

you really missed why wicker man is great

bad production-- it's a given in a b movie
bad acting-- it's a given in a b movie

scary and and disturbing as fuck in spite of the poverty of means is what you missed by paying too much attention to the poverty of means itself.

since English isn't your native language perhaps sometimes you just honestly don't realize how much of a condescending asshole you can be. have some tact bro, one can be blunt and direct without necessarily being a total prick

i totally "got" and "understood" your favorite movie, and i didn't "miss" anything i just still think it was crap. whateverz..

nope was paying attention just fine.

look, you're entitled to your opinion, but other people are entitled to their opinion about your opinion

just because you make your opinion known in a public space, it doesn't mean you're guaranteed approval from everyone

sorry i thought what you said was crap but... that's my opinion

feel free to disapprove of this, etc., ad infinitum

in the meantime, the movies got lost

again i have no problem with your opinion and i have no problem with your opinion of my opinion. what i don't appreciate is you insisting three times no less that somehow i am misunderstanding or lacked the comprehension skills to "get it" simply because i didn't like it. there is a world of difference.

speaking of comprehension skills i know you are smart enough to know exactly what you were saying and to "get" exactly why it was snide remarks so why not just own up to and say "my bad" and then we can indeed talk about the movie

i didn't say anything about you "lacking comprehension skills"-- this is just you acting like a professional victim because your opinion got shot down

i said you missed the point of the movie. and posted you a link about the merits of the film, especially vs. the new version.

you ignored all that great information and made drama instead. lame!

you could have replied to mark kermode's arguments-- that would have been interesting--but instead here we are tending your fictional wounds.

the only one playing games here is you. again, what, you think you can be an asshole and i won't call you on it? ha!

see you keep mistaking this as some kind of pissing contest. i am not in any way trying to convince you to agree with or embrace my opinion. however i do ask that you give me the common human decency of being somewhat polite
