To reiterate, "uninspired" in a list that includes When Harry Met Sally ...

india song is kind of funny if you approach it a certain way

I'd have no objections to calling Annie Hall mundane in practically any other context. But this list ... I mean, girls, Lisa, boys kiss girls!

I would have liked India Song a lot better if there'd been two or three scenes involving lobsters and/or this guy.

i saw a screening featuring post-analysis by John Waters!

that's right, i remember reading his praise the budget-saving minimalism of le camion and bresson's lancelot du lac

Stick to your guns. I'm f'n glad Howard Hawks bores me.

why would you be glad to be bored that seems sort of strange

Glad that I didn't have to sit through 60+ Hawks films after the 5 or 6 (most of them acclaimed as being among his best) I watched did nothing for me.

you mean you don't like Hatari!

Everything I love about Gentlemen Prefer Blondes apparently has very little to do with Hawks (tho even the most recent re-watch didn't light my fire as the movie had in the past).

(Still voted for it in this poll tho I think.)

He's a jack-of-all-trades, silly... wait, that's MASTER of all. But you can't detect all his strengths in one genre.

son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 4 September 2014 19:00 (nine years ago) link

like me

Hawks is a master of jack, trade.

a guy named Christian White who represents the typical white Christian (Eric H.), Thursday, 4 September 2014 19:18 (nine years ago) link

jeez i haven't been called "trade" since Joan Rivers was funny

It truly is a democratic marvel of a medium.
