Personally, I think you should focus more on actual film from now on, as opposed to film scripts, trailers and fans who you admittedly like to provoke. Usually the final product speaks for itself and is ultimately the only deciding factor on how good or bad a movie really is.

I don't mind saying either, but you've kind of become embarrassing to those of us who like great film in general and don't share your love for instigation and negative BS.

Please, give your nasty review already and be done with it.

This is just to try and rile up the Parnassus fans that's all. And or steal their money. Obviously I'm aware Oscar often has nothing to do with quality.

But my opinion of the film has nothing to do with my comments. I'm just trying to provoke just as they're always trying to do the same.

Right?

It seems to me you are just trying to drum up some strawman challenge to hide the fact you can't really give this movie an honest review and instead need to focus on the fans of this film and their distrust of your motives.

It's also worth mentioning that Parnassus if nominated for an Oscar may have a harder time getting one considering Heath Ledger already took one posthumous Oscar for TDK.

Besides all this, you seem to think Oscars determine whether or not a film is actually quality goods. At least we know now what kind of superficial things you key on as a critic. At least with the artists you obviously have a bone to pick with.

Can't between you Playlist "writers" scrounge up a coherent and original thought?

But seriously, you guys are totally chicken shit. You should start another forum post on the Parnassus site and rally all your troops, I always find that cute.

But he HAS been waiting in his dark little room in his dark corner of the world to post his insightful criticism….

I will be you all $1,000 dollars that Imaginarium does not receive one Oscar nomination and certainly not one for Heath Leger.

I'm willing to put it on paypal and let a third party manage it if shmucks are ready to put your collective money where your mouths are.

You don't know jack shit about film, but you like Terry Gilliam films, congratulations?

Hey, i like his films too or some of the early ones anyhow. I own a bunch too, but i just didn't like this one much. I was gonna give it a C or C+ in my review and one of my writers said it deserved a D.

Wait, maybe he has a longstanding gripe against him! THat MUST be it. God forbid someone can dislike a movie on the internet when their is sycophants roaming free.

Kubayah, kids. Go back to that fan site where you guys sing songs.

And, let me guess, after your months of unmitigated bashing of the film and its director you actually think this will sway even one person with a mediocum of intelligence. Yeah, keep telling yourself that. You have become the laughing stock of movie blogs with your carefully constructed bashing of all things Dr. Parnassus.

Let's see who shall we listen to, Peter Travers of Rollingstone or you? Uh, you lose.

You get no points for being unwilling to back down from your previous sight-unseen condemnation of "The Imaginarium Of Dr Parnassus".
You get no points for swimming against the tide of critical acclaim which Terry Gilliam's film is now gathering.
You get no points for…….well, let's face it, Playlist, you just don't get the point.

I mean, you've been leading up to it for months! Do you feel *satisfied* now? Good. Go take a cold shower. Whatever oh ever will Playlist do with his time now?
