Well I think there was only one movie. I mean I've never seen it but like Arthur C. Clark wrote the book and then the other guy made the movie based on it so I was asking if he meant no more Arthur C Clark book movies or no more movies from other dude.

Compromise: I'll put tags on my new threads (and encourage others to do the same) if you let me have the "wtf" tag as my tag-below-the-username thing.

I don't even know and I don't want to have anything to do with that ever again.

You drive a hard bargain, let me think on that.

EDIT: I accept, but I'll remember this day when I become a mod.

I felt that the first act of Full Metal Jacket was pretty great, but as far as Kubrick movies the only one I could ever stand to sit through was Dr. Strangelove and even that was mainly because Peter Sellers was a fucking god.

Kubrick had an amazing eye for cinematography but I always felt he was painfully awful when it came to things like pacing and editing, which are the actual cornerstones of good direction. Stretching an hour-and-a-half script to three hours is not a good thing, I'm sorry.

I'm not sure I get why it became a rule to use the thread tags. Seeing as it doesn't really tell you anything the thread title and/or placement of the thread couldn't (and if I remember correctly there is or was a 'rule of thumb' vis a vis thread titles that actually made sense), it all seems a terribly superfluous thing to enforce.
