This will sound funny, But when I first posted about liking the movie, dispite its flaws, I picked the wrong thread. I picked one called "Bad PJ" (or something like that). I immediatly got flamed for "thread invasion" (my words here) , and I understand. It was suggested I go to one of the "I love the movie" threads and carry on, or start a new thread. Now....The reason I didn't do that (and this is a selfish, feeble reason, I admit, no excuse really ) is that most of those threads seem to be comprised of young "fangirl/boy" types (which is fine for them!) and I couldn't relate. That wasn't where I was coming from. (being an old lady!) I was just gravitating to the basic age group and style of writing that suited me. I thought people would be gracious enough to let me "horn in"! (This is so funny in retrospect!) I picked the wrong time, wrong place...ha ha ha! No biggie. And Lindl graciously apologized and explained his flame. My error was probaby just newbie"ism" on my part. (How can I be such a newbie with over 200 posts, amazing!) I like the movies, yet I understand the complaints, It is rough to be disapointed if the movies really let you down about a story that means so much to you. I think disapointment causes more anger than practically any other emotion! Well, whatever, that's my lame excuse! <p>[ February 23, 2003: Message edited by: Liriodendron ]
