Anything is funnier than farting, vomiting, peeing, pooping and groin injuries.

Watching 10 secs of Robert Duvall is better than 20hours of Robert Rodriguez.

20 hours of rodriguez is considered torture in third world countries

A whisper is better than a shout.

A shadow is better than a light.

The language of cinema is better than any spoken language.

A pratfall may be better than anything. But it sure helps to have Eddie Bracken around to do it. (Or William Demerest. Or Betty Hutton. Or...)

I agree with you the way you view the issue. I remember Jack London once said everything positive has a negative side; everything negative has positive side. It is also interesting to see different viewpoints & learn useful things in the discussion.

12. Bumping threads is the best thing of all.
