3. We know what my darling likes - all wilderness and no flip flops! - calling Kali for reinforcements

Happy Valentines, darling, or as "Prince" Charles said, "Whatever love is."

2. Yeah-yeah, we know Greg was a gigantic Lib like us and Pete was a gigantic drunk

4. The award was actually going to Atticus Finch.

Someone who seemed like a real-life hero of racial equality when the civil rights movement was gathering friends.

5. Gregory Peck

"To kill a mockingbird" is one of the greatest films ever made. Everyone in it deserved the Oscar.
"Lawrence of Arabia" isn't even in the same league. Not even close to being historically accurate.

7. May I respectfully submit that in movies, works of art, accuracy is irrelevant. Not talking about documentaries.

A glaring example was the onslaught of history professors criticizing the accuracy of Ridley SCOTT's Napoleon and Gladiator movies. For me, both were visually spectacular but Napoleon was a total bust and Gladiator II was unsatisfying, without accuracy even being factored into the matter: They were ultimately failures as movies. Overwhelming the amount of sheer labor SCOTT went to with the magnificent sets and battle scenes, all for practically naught. Bradley COOPER's Leonard BERNSTEIN movie went the other way, still not talking accuracy here, shifting the focus to the emotions of relationships, while making the main thing about BERNSTEIN - the music - negligible.

8. Your point is well taken

I think "Lawrence of Arabia" is a vastly overrated movie. Just a very bad movie. The glaring historical errors just make it worse for me.

But, you are right. It is a movie, not a documentary

9. Whew, I worried about being taken wrong, so thanks.

11. Gladiator 2 was unsatisfying because they didn't use

the original screenwriter, David Franzoni, who based the screenplay on a 1958 novel, "Those About to Die". I don't know if they even approached Franzoni to write the 2 script, but I don't think there was anything in the novel to justify a sequel.

6. I think my favorite Peter O'Toole role was in "Club Paradise."

He looked like he was having a blast, but who wouldn't with that cast? A hilarious, underrated movie from 1986.



But I'm not mad about Gregory Peck winning. He was an extraordinary man and a great actor.

10. Will check it out, thanks.
