I don't see how "slow" can be a problem any more than "funny" or "purple" can be a problem. If a slow, funny, purple movie is really good at being slow, funny, and purple, I will probably like it.

Purple is always a problem unless it is associated with monkeydishwashers.

I see no problem with the use of purple in film. If anything, dislike of purple in film just shows latent homophobia.  ;)

The association of purple with homosexuality is perhaps more homophobic than my distaste of purple. You could just as easily have accused me of fear of royalty.

Well, the monarchy was pretty irrelevant

So you're afraid of irrelevant things, then.

I am personally offended by the anti-purple sentiments being expressed here as anyone who chats will know.

Best set for me.

Screw that! This set contains the greatest live action film of all time!

1. Once Upon a Time in the West
2. Memento
3. Toy Story 3
4. Finding Nemo
5. Life of Brian
6. The Social Network
7. Perfume: Story of a Murderer


Other then the first two, there's a very small margin of quality between my rankings. Most of them are kind of random.
I actually consider a lot of movies to be life-changing! I take them to my heart and they melt into my personality.
