...for about the 7th time. The young married couple that watched it with us (both of them 22 years old) didn't seem too taken with the film, but they did sit all the way through it. I guess it's lost on today's young folk.

[LibDemAlways]

44. A compact, well-written character study like that is

increasingly rare today, and those that are released tend to play in art houses to small audiences. It's a shame.

[begin_within]

45. I think younger moviegoers have been conditioned to expect

either a killing, a sex scene, an expensive special effect, a big scare or a big laugh every three to four minutes... they don't seem to have the patience with slow-moving films or those with a shoestring plot. It seems like most people under 30 won't sit through "2001: A Space Odyssey" because it's boring to them. They want everything to be handed to them fully prepared and ready to consume, with a minimum of thinking for themselves.

92. Given what people are, the question is "Why doesn't it happen more often?"

Frederick: You missed a very dull TV show on Auschwitz. More gruesome film clips, and more puzzled intellectuals declaring their mystification over the systematic murder of millions. The reason they can never answer the question "How could it possibly happen?" is that it's the wrong question. Given what people are, the question is "Why doesn't it happen more often?"
