Dear Wendy

Have not seen it yet, for I'm not very "in" with all of this artsy cinema. But a friend of mine thought it was really great.

Anyone seen it?

http://imdb.com/title/tt0342272/

I've always wanted to see it since I saw the trailor. Looks excellent but never got a chance to see it.

I've seen it, can't wait to add the dvd to my collection. It didn't do to well with critics I don't think. I adored the film, with a nice Zombies soundtrack! Recommend it.

Sounds like a nice film. Doubt it'll come out here.

I don't think you'll like it. No ones told you how the acting is and/or whether the editing is really good...

Also, it's a Lars on Trier movie...perhaps it'll be too intellectual for you aswell.

Welcome.

Love starting the fire, don't you? What can Solo say about a film he hasn't seen? He's just asking what's it about. So he can't say much. No one else has said much about it either. I've read the imdb page. Like I said it sounds like a nice film.

YKF, Don't attack others. Personal attacks on others will not be tolerated. Challenge others' points of view and opinions, but do so respectfully and thoughtfully ... without insult and personal attack. Show some Common courtesy.

Hi! Hello! Hey! I was simply using my previous interactions with dear ol' Nevermind to help clarify his judgement! I was helping him! He seemed to have forgotten that he can only base his opinion on a film by reading about 'production values'...

Don't castigate me for helping a fellow member.

If you are going to help someone. Do it in a Respectful manor.

On The Helping Scale, Your insults outweighed your assistance by a long shot.

How did I insult him? He told me before that he doesn't like 'intellectual' movies, and that he needs to know about production values to form an opinion on a movie that he has yet to watch!

I did judge the film on a production value. The story. Nice going with that one. No, you don't have to base your opinion by production value alone. Production value just gives hard evidence. Let's not bring this thread off topic by creating the same argument we've had before.

Actually, the term 'production value' does not incorporate the story. Nice try. I enjoy seeing you attempt to hide your previous display of ignorance, however it only serves in making you look more so.

Stay on the Topic like Nevermind Suggested.

Smartest move in this conversation yet.

I'll be watching this tomorrow, I'll tell you all what I have think.

Story's part of a script, no? And I do think a script is part of a production.

Sounds good, fill us in.

Now, Damian...Please read this carefully:

This is a definition of the term 'production values':

The æsthetics and quality of presentation of given information content. Note that the concept does not really measure or describe emotional, social or intellectual value.

and:

Describes the quality of a media production proportional to the money and technology expended on the text.

and one more:

In electronic media, production values include cuts, dissolves, color, placement in the frame, and editing

So, you see, Damian...either you don't understand the terms you are using, or you don't understand the terms you are using. People in the know call this type of behavior 'ignorant'. If you feel that I am being a little anal, then please understand that I am doing this because I feel it is the best way to communicate with someone who repeatedly behaves like an ass.

You are welcome, but please heed your own warnings that Dark Wizard so sweetly supported you on. If you wish to learn more about film, life and liberty, please feel free to PM. I'm here to help people like you.

Nice of you to check my profile. However, my name is Damiano. Not "Damian".

Would you like to state your source? Because, funny enough, I couldn't find your definition in two dictionaries and google. However, I was able to come up with this:

pro·duc·tion 5.)

[list]a.) A work of art or literature.
b.) A work produced for the stage, screen, television, or radio.
c.) A staging or presentation of a theatrical work: a new Broadway production of a musical.[/list]

val·ue 4.) A principle, standard, or quality considered worthwhile or desirable

10.) One of a series of specified values

Aware of this.

Aha! There's a good boy, Damiano! You've been doing some research on your own! I am proud. However, the reason you couldn't find a definition in a dictionary is because they contain words, rather than phrases. The phrase 'production values' does not have the same meaning as 'the value of a production'. Ahh, there it is! Are things becoming clearer now? Good.
