I saw "Better Than Chocolate" and I agree that as a political statement
it's a flop, but I liked seeing it as a romantic comedy. It seems to me that
if a lesbian film can be seen as simply a romantic comedy and not a
statement then it's becoming more mainstream, more 'normal' for such
movies to be out there. Which, I think, is a good thing.

George C. Scott was a great actor-- my favorite was in the "Hustler" where
plays this slimy hustler who takes control of pool shark Paul Newman's
career and teaches him what it *really* means to hustle, the price you
really have to pay.
He won best supporting actor for that but turned it down, and also turned
down the best actor award for Patton, because he doesnt/didnt believe you
can compare dramatic performances.

So watch The Hustler, and The Color of Money back to back if you have the
time. I loved The Hustler. Great film, great cast, and great acting.
