He recently went after Allan Fish, who has probably seen about a hundred times as many films as he has on the international scene and overall. Leaves's game is always to try and impress with foreign-language cinema, but he's barking up the wrong tree at WitD, as that is the cinema that prevails there.'<br /><br />I... I don't understand. Why would anyone want to try to impress anyone with the amount of films they've seen? I would never try, and have never tried, so this accusation seems rather specious and is surely a result of poor reading comprehension.<br /><br />Speaking of poor reading comprehension, did you notice that what I said was a joke, completely and utterly and unambiguously? Because everyone else did...<br /><br />Speaking of poor reading comprehension, again, this attack of yours is based on a reading of a post of mine on your site that I feel is completely ludicrous, stemming from this same absurd premise that I am trying to 'impress with the amount of films I have seen'. I can't apologize for something I'm not guilty of doing, I'm afraid. I hold no ill will toward you for misreading my post, but extending that misreading into a mission to attack me wherever possible is a bit ridiculous. Maybe you should take a step back, realize that your accusation is absolutely ludicrous, and we can move forward.<br /><br />Sorry for the hubbub, Stephen, but somebody needs to put something in context.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8035434747786768960.post-81161985926705159832011-01-01T09:32:13.936+00:002011-01-01T09:32:13.936+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8035434747786768960.post-89822036369295987262010-12-31T16:18:32.236+00:002010-12-31T16:18:32.236+00:00Thanks JAFB!
"Haven't been able to read ...Thanks JAFB!<br /><br />"Haven't been able to read blogs of late. Will try to mend that this year."<br /><br />Now that I've completed the countdown I too can go back to looking over the blogs I used to frequent. When it comes to using a blog as a guide for venturing into the world of Cinema, THE SEVENTH ART is unbeatable.<br /><br />A happy new year to you too.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07036103762441216161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8035434747786768960.post-26000147642117865712010-12-31T15:56:54.143+00:002010-12-31T15:56:54.143+00:00Hey Stephen.

Again, I run out of adjectives to describe how useful this countdown is for those venturing out into the genre. Will keep coming back.<br /><br />Haven't been able to read blogs of late. Will try to mend that this year.<br /><br />And yes, wish you and your family and friends a very joyful new year.<br /><br />Cheers!Just Another Film Buffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17880550053788464732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8035434747786768960.post-88379730127986203072010-12-31T07:18:33.813+00:002010-12-31T07:18:33.813+00:00Thanks again Sam.

Your writing was magnificent, and your diversity undeniable.<br /><br />It was definitely a high watermark at Wonders in the Dark, and we were truly honored to have your kind of singular expertise there!

Past the age of 10 I don't think I've seen more than parts of any of those. The only animated film from my childhood that I went back to watch recently was The Secret of NIMH - and it's not on the list!?! Blasphemy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
