Quote:I didn't say I did or didn't hear about anything except Flash Gordon or Green Hornet. Why would you automatically assume I never heard of any of the rest of it?
I asked you directly if you heard of any of them, and you did not respond.
Quote:War of the Worlds wasn't a practical joke, at least not intentional. It was proof that the general public at the time was all idiots.
It was sort of a practical joke, as I said. Of course Orson Welles probably didn't think that everyone would believe it so easily, but it was meant to fool at least some people.
Quote:I've heard of a lot of it, and in general a lot of those movies back then, IN MY OPINION, sucked. Why can't I just think that? I love reading old books, good ones anyway, but old movies from the 1950's in general aren't classics that will stand the test of time.
Wow, I can't believe you just said that. Some of the greatest movies ever made are from the 50's and 60's. Do you also think Citizen Kane is stupid? There are dozens of movies from all around the world from that era that still blow away modern "classics" like Lord of the Rings.
