movies are movies
crap is crap
no need to get highbrow about foreign films;they just seem to have a different eye about them.
it is such a bore when one has to get into the mechanics of a movie to back up their preference of them.
agree that cinematography seems to be better than hollywood films, but again that is preference.
it is pleasant to discuss films, but it's not like it's getting us to some nirvana plateau or something.

about the sex in films, there's just too much of it, foreign or otherwise.  doesn't anyone know how to tell a real story anymore? agree with the comment about sex selling films. most of the time it cheapens a movie.

will get off soapbox now. 
this is not aimed at any of y'all in particular-sorry...
