@gano , first off, there are a couple of members I am trying not to interact on the threads that they are on, because when I do my posts seem to have about a 75% deletion rate. I won’t mention any screen names, because that would probably be enough to get this post deleted, but the responses of mine that got deleted were no worse than the posts I was replying to. Think skinned snowflakes. Then there was texas-jerry, who seems to be back in another reincarnation, and I was trading caustic responses’ with him on a thread, and guess who’s got deleted. The post you alluded to is actually back, and my curiosity is piqued as to what the two that are still gone were about. Although this thread has meandered on & off topic, I felt it was one of the more civilized threads going on A’gon and the disagreements (if there were any) were stated reasonably.
Anyway:
I will watch the Elephant and the American Dreamer. I also should add Albino Alligator to the Matt Dillon list. Irresistible in my opinion.
Elephant is on my list for this week (thanks to @hce1 ) as the trailer looked mesmerizing. As far as American Dreamer, if you like Matt Dillon, you are going to love this one. As I previously typed, he has a supporting role as a real estate agent, but this is classic Matt Dillon. If I had ever forgot why I like him so much, this film reminded me. Man, but he is a great actor. On edit: I just googled Albino Alligator, and I am pretty sure I have watched that one before.
Anyway, I hope you don’t bail; your perspective is well stated and interesting. Regardless, I understand that you gotta do what you gotta do--there is a reason I will never click on audio asylum again, and that reason is quite similar to what you are stating. And I will only say, fwiw, that the moderation is way better here than there. But I wish you well and hope you reconsider.
