Nicko, not to worry. This was a reference to a much earlier discussion about feminism in Hidden Dragon. The question was: what is the opposite of feminist?

I saw Crouching Tiger this past weekend. Excellent, excellent film. Highly recommended. However, when it comes to best movie, I still thing that Traffic has the edge... it's more original, unique, and the script was quite complicated. Although I wouldn't mind seeing Tiger as the best movie either.

Anything but Gladiator...

Thanks Anneke, I read through the posts but I was having trouble figuring out where the comment was coming from. Oh well lets stick to movies and save feminism for another day

Of your choices, I have to vote for Gladiator because it was Oliver Reed's last movie. Crouching Tiger didn't do much for me--we left early and switched theaters. It should have been better.

Looks like Gladiator did okay at the Oscars. I was glad Oliver Reed's name got mentioned.

Regarding Tiger/Dragon...

Meanwhile, insiders at Sony Pictures and at co-financier Good Machine Intl. confirm plans for an Ang Lee-helmed prequel to "Tiger" are being discussed in Taipei.

Interesting note: Ang Lee the director of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon spent the first six years of his life after college cooking. He went on to make Eat Drink Man Woman that is a must see for all chefs. Ang Lee has a master's touch with film because he has the discipline of a chef! I thought that Crouching was far above any of the films nominated. Chocolat was very good but not a truly great film. Loved it still the same. Julia Roberts is the most over-rated actor in hollywood. An oscar for wearing a push up bra? what next, an oscar for Helen Hunt coming out? Gladiator is a Summer film and should not have been nominated.
