peckinpah wasn't involved in the magnificent seven, i was referring to the wild bunch, but yes, seven samurai is much better. -dobbs

ooh, well played sir... seven is a masterpiece, but a little indulgent. it is so easy to feel righteous hatred of the note-perfect bad guy. peckinpah reveals flaws in humanity and refuses to give you a "knight in shining armor" to identify with. different type of masterpiece for different tastes thanks for the response, made me think! -dobbs

the wild bunch or any other peckinpah handily takes that title -dobbs

okay, okay, i voted too soon. i answered based solely on the movies, the lotr movies are nearly crap, nearly. particularly if you've read and love the books. i mean, they added a love story, talk about pandering. if we're talking books, then who cares about the godfather. -dobbs

nice, sounds like a good day -dobbs

psd4 plpc monte 2 and lusi if i throw in the dc i like the regular stuff, what can i say -dobbs

logical fallacy... -dobbs

i agree with Islandboy. there are a bunch of reasons why some forms are positive and worthwhile, but like most things, i imagine it is cyclical. what would i do differently? probably not much, behavior of the general public has been appalling since i was old enough to conceptualize, why should "social media" be any different? okay, just changed my mind, i would try to lessen the magnification effect. not sure how though... -dobbs

this one is hard, have to keep hemingway though, just because -dobbs

i haven't used it long, but this vertigo has been the best in terms of controllability and ease of use: not too expensive either. i'll see if it lasts. -dobbs

the henry clay brevas ala conserva is the (highly underrated) cigar that got me started, but the reserva sw is what turned an occasional smoke into a minor obsession. -dobbs

got a few boxes in over the last couple of months: montecarlos: qdo coronas: "rested" bolivar pc from 24:24: and some cce in the eofy clearance: looking forward to these, gonna rest all but the bpc. -dobbs
