"...as long as the viewer feels what the artist wanted the user to feel."

I won't debate the contradictary relationship of those statements. On some levels, I agree with you. Especially about movies. When I saw "Your Friends and Neighbors", I was sickened and felt wrong all over. It isn't a particularly gratuitous film. I've seen worse. But it made me feel rotten. I liked it for that. The masterful excavation of my emotions was admirable. I respect that movie and recommend it tactfully.

Some things, though, like "Red Planet" (the recent Kilmer, Moss, Stamp vehicle) are just painfully predictable, boring and ill-timed. I won't say 610 is *that* bad, but it disappoints me. After all the talk about level monopolies. Earnest mullings and heartfelt rants. For someone to just do it all over again, not with MKC-fusion... but with a mocking snicker... that's just tired, annoying and selfish. Oh well, you got a reaction out of me eh? If that's all you wanted, then I'm glad I could help. Hope we can move on now.

I hope to see your work in the hyperweave more in the future. Don't take my critique as repulsion.
