If pressed to answer brie...A long list indeed.... <br /><br />If pressed to answer briefly, and knowing how much of an asshole I sound, I'd say that I dislike the products of the American commercial movie industry and the independent wannabe POTACMI that trudge along behind them.Tulkinghornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12380273659057130770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8896069787782846811.post-26906088497668738682012-02-26T15:53:33.548-08:002012-02-26T15:53:33.548-08:00So what exactly is it you "don't like&quo...So what exactly is it you "don't like"?David Chutehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05606470667042155559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8896069787782846811.post-35770666566792047772012-02-26T14:52:32.102-08:002012-02-26T14:52:32.102-08:00I'm fine with Criterion, Kino, long-form telev...I'm fine with Criterion, Kino, long-form television.....<br /><br />Always have been.
