This is a very middle-class American p.o.v., which is to say that it's ultimately full of shit. Fuck you and your class too.

This is such a dumb statement, i hardly know where to begin. You really think that society was qualitatively better or worsely filmed in decades other than the 70s. How very convenient for a selective memory!

Yeah, well, you're both defending and attempting to justify the bourgeois televisual spectacle, so it's hard to feel sorry for you.

The answer, as with so many other things, is "yes and no". Subsequent supplements are banal examples of either or both.

They totally could have chosen Psychic TV or John Zorn (e.g.).

God, this band is awful.

@Lobsters 1 Maybe YOU'RE just a pig in shit, but many of us human beings have principles.

Martin Luther King derailed the civil rights movement into a liberal, rather than socially revolutionary, movement. So, yeah, he sucked.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! What a funny, funny, FUNNY guy you are! And so original, too! I think that if I had your cleverness, I'd fucking kill myself right now so that I wouldn't die after I peaked.

@Jasper Beardly Maybe you're just stupid.

@Bender Bukowski Name one bigoted thing that I said.

@madbeatnk Not much of an atheist, are you?

It's the only world we got, so I'm certain that it's worth infinitely more paying attention to than a world we don't have.

Let's just hope that they make "Dog Day Afternoon: Still Later that Evening" starring Abe Vigoda and directed by Sidney Lumet Jr., and that Mr. Vigoda gets the official kudos he deserves. Please God….

Man, you are a true genius! Truly, nobody has ever expressed the word of the lord our God better until now. Except that….Spike Lee has  made at least two great films ("She's Gotta Have It" and "Do the Right Thing") and that if you deny that these are great films, then you are truly one of God's chosen retards.

Okay, except that this film is two decades old. So by now it might be dead.

If there were a god, Pacino would have been awarded Best Actor for Dog Day Afternoon and then tragically struck dead by a bolt of lightning later that year.

Malcolm X was sorta stupid, though. Being first into NOI, and then into Islam proper. No true social revolutionaries are religious: Marx, Engels, Lenin, Trotsky, Luxembourg, Seale. Any of them religious? Fuck no.

Is that a real response? No, I was not high when I wrote that. Is it okay to prefer really interesting independent movies to a glossy biopic? Jesus.

@Lobsters 1 I'm curious to know what exactly you think is "very good" about the Koran? Bearing in mind that I'm an atheist uninterested in obscurantism, and that I found nothing poetic about the language (English translation), hence no literary value.
