Kari,

I lifted it from the web so it’s not my photo…

My name is Kari and I am a senior in college and was wanting to know if I could use the picture on this page for an appropriation piece in my art project. Please let me know. Thanks.

Comment on AFI #27: High Noon by Peter Faur

Len, I like High Noon a lot for the reasons you cited. For the life of me, though, I’ve never understood the appeal of Gary Cooper. In any movie I’ve seen with him, he seems wooden and stilted. Maybe he’s an acquired taste, but I doubt that it’s one I’ll ever acquire. Thanks for the review.

You’d never seen a Bette Davis film? Wow, that must have been an eye opener for you. My grandmother LOVED her, and I grew up staying to watch classic films late at night, back before “classic” became stuff released while we were alive. Yep, a really great film…

Reason why you miss the mark here is because you fundamentally don’t understand afi’s criteria for good films. It’s not about whether the film is in your opinion “good” or “complete” (according to your own personal definition of complete). It’s about the novelty and influence it has on movies. Whether it represents some sort of breakthrough. That’s why birth of a nation is in the top 100. Ever wonder why that’s in there at all??? Must run! Bye!

Comment on AFI #34: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs by Holly C.S.

As a child, SNOW WHITE was one of my least favorite Disney movies. I find her voice grating and her singing painful. I’ve been putting off watching it because I really just don’t want to.

[...] to AFI, the best American animated film ever. It was one of only two animated films on the list (Toy Story came in at No. 99). Frankly, I can think of plenty of superior animated films. Does Snow White [...]

Glad I finally lived up to your expectations Jim! I’m guessing there are not too many Woody Allen screenings in Saudi Arabia heh?

Well, you finally got one right after a series of idiotic misjudgments about some of my favorites.

I particularly love the cameos by the likes of Marshal McLuhan who steps up to an obnoxious pontificator in a movie box office line and says something like “You know nothing about my work!”

And the variety of innovative cinematic narrative techniques that Woody uses throughout the film make it lively, funny and in many ways groundbreaking.
