To...@richw Thanks for the comment. Let me explain.<br /><br />To come off as "I'm cooler than you Mr. Director" was obviously not my intention. <br /><br />I didn't make the distinction you made from the brief exchange I had with him, so it was just my observation. If he's cool with negative feedback, then I'm sure he'll be fine.Jay Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00943870346156273403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035679663902350821.post-85817855833372501192010-08-07T12:46:25.333-04:002010-08-07T12:46:25.333-04:00While I enjoyed most of your article Jay I am a bi...While I enjoyed most of your article Jay I am a bit confused and kind of disappointed at one statement you made... "Talking to Monroe later at the bar, I could see he was rattled and not impressed by the way that situation was handled. I hope he subsequently grows a thicker skin because I'm sure there is more condemnation coming in the future". I also spoke with Steven after the screening while he was signing posters, I asked him what he thought of the situation during the Q & A and he told me that he was quite annoyed with the fact that this drunk and or wasted guy that rambled on and kept repeating himself was allowed to take up so much time of the Q & A (especially just after Meir Zarchi the director of the original just had done the same mumbling and talking about himself for 15 minutes). He then said that it was not fair to all the people that paid to be at the screening and stayed so late to ask questions that were screwed now and he didn't think that was fair at all to any of them. He was glad and fine with the fact that this guy made his statement and disliked his version of the film, but quite angry that he was allowed to go on for so long. So my question to you is, what does that have to do with you saying that you hope he grows thicker skin? That statement just feels like a ego driven "I'm cooler than you Mr. Director" statement that really makes no sense at all based on what happened, or even based on what you wrote just before that about him being rattled and not impressed with how it was handled which was exactly what he was upset about... Not WHAT was said by that f-ed up s#%thead.richwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06016396059340936249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035679663902350821.post-31753916462365935652010-08-05T08:58:55.454-04:002010-08-05T08:58:55.454-04:00Cool. I'll check this one out after all. I w...Cool. I'll check this one out after all. I was curious how they would structure the movie, knowing that they couldn't have a 40 minute rape scene like the original. This sounds like it is more along the lines of The Last House on the Left remake (which I sorta liked). The original is really about the rape and degradation, and less about the revenge than any of thee "rape/revenge" movies. Oh well, cool blog. I'll check more of it out. I wrote a review of I Spit on Your Grave btw: http://cinemagonzo.blogspot.com/2010/07/i-spit-on-your-grave-1978-rapiest-movie.htmlThomas Dukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00804326045764733280noreply@blogger.com
