Am glad it didn't pass unchallenged. I'd have to say that one of the few times I've completely fallen apart emotionally at the movies was a screening in L.A. at the correct speed of "City Lights." The recognition scene, where she realizes it was Chaplin all the time...I couldn't stop sobbing. I later read that James Agee wrote that it is "the highest moment in all cinema" or something to that effect.<br /><br />I've seen City Lights at the wrong speed of 24fps and on TV at both speeds, and the impact is close to zero by comparisonp.r.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-58967874129780312012011-07-14T10:30:15.104-04:002011-07-14T10:30:15.104-04:00OH ...

But please, I implore do not open your mouth about anything, politics, movies, cooking, space exploration, etc. unless you have a script before you written by someone else. <br /><br />A Fan (of your acting),<br /><br />John KaiserJohn Kaisernoreply@blogger.com
