“These casters possess the knack so many others lack: they can have an entertaining and engrossing conversation WITHOUT stepping on each other and derailing the discussion with irritating competitive quips to see who can be the most clever and quirky. Even when they disagree they allow each other to convey an opinion without deteriorating into the noisy banter
of a morning talk show.
Their passion and exuberance is a pleasure for my aging boomer mind. And, in response to their query as to whether the movie going audience in 1980 might have been more open to The Fog’s meandering mood? My answer would be a resounding “No!” It was a drag and a downer then, as well.
Perhaps they can consider a recent discovery: “Born a Champion,” all the corn, wit, and glory of Rocky. Or 1966’s The Sand Pebbles, so ahead of it’s time, and, I fear, unknown to modern moviegoers.”
