There is a difference between calling one’s argument stupid and calling one stupid. This is the line I’m talking about. When you talk about the argument you stay with the subject topic. When you call someone stupid you have overstepped the line.

I would like to stop this fight here as it doesn’t add any value to any reader. So please comment here if there is any value to be added to the discussion regarding the topic.

But “stupid”, “elitist”, “idiotic”, “irresponsible”, “trash”, “snob” – well, they are also not very pleasant comments either. And I did not use them first (in case you haven’t noticed, intentionally or otherwise – whatever). And these are also not full of respect to the other person who don’t share opinions.

But, then – well, this is not the first time that I am apologizing for some comment, and something similar has not been found from the other side.

If you fail to notice this, well…… you are not exactly being unbiased

You’ve overstepped the line between a heated argument and a personal attack. We are having arguments between people who respect other opinions. People should not be called names just because they don’t share your opinion. This is completely unacceptable as a strat.in author or even as a normal human being.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theatrical_property

A theatrical property, commonly referred to as a prop, is any object held or used on stage by an actor for use in furthering the plot or story line of a theatrical production. Smaller props are referred to as “hand props”. Larger props may also be set decoration, such as a chair or table. The difference between a set decoration and a prop is use. If the item is not touched by a performer for any reason it is simply a set decoration. If it is touched by the actor in accordance to script requirements or as deemed by the director, it is a prop.

~And I did not want to say it here, but I have acted in a play directed by Swatilekha Sengupta herself, not to forget the 60 odd other plays and live theater that I have done

Nattu, I can discuss this offline with you, and you will realize that my take on good cinema, is, well good cinema itself, irrespective of when it was released.

Could you plz define Good Cinema? I personally think you are stuck in the ‘Classic movies are the best movies ever made’ trap.

Don’t you watch the movie ‘Gunda’ and have a great time? Similarly people watch RKS and can have a good laugh.

True tolerance comes when people are respected for having opinions. I think you are getting too defensive about the whole thing.

I repeat a part of my comment on a different article, if you believe in something, why do you want others to share the belief?

Well, its hard to argue with a closed room, isn’t it? And of course my arguments would seem unconvincing to you, as your arguments seem stupid and elitist to me.

Prop- anyone with a decent knowledge of performing arts would know what a Prop is, and why an actor can never be a prop.

Not true. An actor is an instrument in the director’s telling of the story, and you are talking to someone who has done theater and arts.

and I feel that you fall in that category of people who would watch RKS and feel good about it.

Thats your problem, you generalize too much, and anyone who doesn’t agree with you is instantly labeled as someone who loves trash. Do you even know if I watch that serial, or are you just mouthing off to show yourself as high and mighty and superior?

Matrix vs Reservoir Dogs :
(a) Voting is by gizmo-freaks – Matrix wins
(b) Voting is by followers of Good Cinema – Reservoir dogs win hands down

And thus, any movie which has any semblance of Sci-fi is labeled a “Gizmo” movie. And “broad minded” doesn’t exactly mean elitist snob.
