I'm not a monster, just ahead of the curve.

But for us sloped-foreheadeds, we just want to see things go whiz-bang.  We're not interested in advancing the medium.  And yes, I presume to speak for all sloped-foreheadeds.

I partially agree but part of the raison de etre of a doc is to inform and intrest the viewer on a subject - if you are informed and interested than by default the doc can't be all that bad.  but when watching i find that I pay more attention when there are fewer talking heads and more experimental storytelling.

Sure, we all like whiz-banging.

But I think if you're going to call a film great, it's got to have something you won't see on an episode of Frontline, doesn't it?

I'm not sure because I'm not interested in film being great.  I'm interested in liking a movie.

This will be my final word on this debate (unless I say more). I don't care if you don't enjoy JP as long as you can accept that it is just as valid a movie as 8 1/2 or any other movie. It may be just a fun film, but that doesn't detract from its movie-dom. 
Yeah, i was never saying it's a less valid form. You probably shouldn't assume things. I still say it's not fun.

I wasn't talking about you at that point. You all get lumped in if you aren't named Alex.

Well, more proof that I was right about you.
