Does watching two adult men taking part in a slanging match, with one calling for 'respect' before they come together in the ring so as to try and knock each other unconscious, do anything to show our young how to behave?

Plus - you cannot always eqate popular or even critical success with quality and worth.

If sales was an indicator - that would make Grease a better album than Talking Book.

Popular aclaim is interesting, but never a substitute for independent thinking - which i enjoy, being 'the artistic type' - for which, thanks indeed!!

Hmmm...Silence Of The Lambs is one of the few films to get the 'big five' at the Oscars (Best film, actress, actor, direct and screenplay), but I would not argue that it displays serial killers in a good light.

"If sales was an indicator - that would make Grease a better album than Talking Book."

Although I have not seen Talking Book, I am almost sure that it's not as good as Grease, because Grease is awesome.

triggerhappy - "the suggestion was made not to enjoy the movie anyway but to understand the idea of how someone can get into a ring with a friend. Actually this is probably better explained in Rocky 3 and that one is a bit of a turkey."

Frankly, life's too short to fit that paricular message in right now!
