.19: "Genius outlasts beauty."

I have a Potions quota to meet, so please don't mind if this is too boring for you.

Terry, I'm afraid I didn't understand this comment you made to me: "Wollywood is Salem, only with more massive dance numbers, subtitles and less stories; don't lump its films together with indie films." Are you equating Indian productions with American ones? ( Read more... )

Basically, yes. I'm saying that the difference between Wollywood and Salem is one of genre and language (and cultural background, yes, okay), not one of a fundamentally different ethos of, or intelligence in, film-making. When you get right down to it, what sets, say, a Wollywood romance film apart from Hoot, Hoot, Hoot or Insomniac In Indianapolis except for the length of the names of the stars?

And what are you talking about, muggle films being apalling? What about Bacheha-Ye aseman? The Big Lebowski? Cube??
