The English Patient

[rhys gethin]

I think I'll stick around and wait for your profound critique of the film. I also apologise sincerely for quoting a gag and being light-hearted on a serious thread.

Have you ever noticed that on Urban every sort of bullshit turns out to be a joke or irony, but only when challenged? And you'll have to stick around a long time kid. I shouldn't bother.

Epic film, borrowing here and there from Lean but who cares.

I love those big epic, deserty films.

Lawrence of Arabia
Under the Sheltering Sky
Flight of the Phoenix (original)
Dances with Wolves

Essentially a chick-flick but I'm such a big girls blouse, I'll happily sit and watch it.

'ere mate you seem quite a learned chap, can you tell me in weight the average amount of snot a human excretes in a lifetime?

I imagine the government will give you a loan to spend your lifetime finding out, if you're human. It does seem about your mark.

Pardon me but I have stumbled into the misery corner or something? Someone posted a thread on the English Patient saying, in one line whaddya think? A few peeps responded with one line or one word answers, mostly to the theme you have decried. I, tagging along towards the end of this, quoted a small gag purely because I associate the film with that gag. For some reason you seemed to be more bothered by my quote than all the other one word answers. Also you moaned about everyone else but couldn't even bother to give a review yourself. Why is my apparent bullshit (in your opinion) so problematic?

And why can't you post up a critique, because clearly that was what was so important to you in the first place.
