Out of that grew a whole separate world of commerce. Sure, there are good movies. Great ones even, two have already received a mention in this thread. There are, of course, incredible American films too. However, they only became great after been assessed within a wider, worldwide context (often to understand their own influences, for example), before taking their place in the pantheon. John Cassavetes would probably have referred to his films, as an American, as 'Movies', this is true, but I think what he's implying is that there's no reason why they shouldn't have made as much money as your average movie of the time. I agree although, of course, they didn't, because he was a real artist. You can't have your popcorn and eat it.

Are you actually this annoying a turd in real life, or are you just rehearsing at it?

I'd like to participate in this poll, but I don't see enough motion pictures to have established an opinion, what with me not even owning a television and all.

Like it's some kind of pageant or something?
It's just dudes playing guitars, like a million billion other dudes playing guitars. Just practice your stupid songs and play them on stage in front of people. There's nothing to 'rehearse'
