No, Jean-Claude is the man.
But thanks for the recognition to this, his humble followers.
His soliloquy was riveting.

Seriously, you don't deserve any more. For example, when you start to make sense instead of just blabbing about my proficiency in English (despite being clearly superior to yours).
Besides, Starrman had already stated the obvious so I didn't feel compelled to repeat what we wrote.

Where's the rest of this sentence? You're missing a clause.
You don't feel compelled to repeat "what we wrote"? You mean "he" right? Or did you mean you don't feel compelled to restate the ideas Starrman and you already stated? Your English is ambiguous and incorrect.

Can my "contribution" to this thread be considered thusly? How dare you!
The only reason anyone would then label opinion as "propaganda" is simply for the purpose of using loaded language (i.e. appealing to emotion). It seems obvious to me that the washing down of what propaganda consists on is then just a result of such tactics. For example, I think nobody sane would consider Avatar as propaganda on the same level as Triumph of the Will (to quote the most obvious example of film as part of propaganda). Yet this is what people like ATY try to convey when they label opinion as propaganda.

his interviews*. He's way more clever and funny that what you'd
expect from a highly successful martial artist covered in muscles.
Bloodsport and JCVD are, indeed, his cinematic legacy for future
generations.
Edit. In "Frenglish".

It seems to me that non-monumental art has been on the fringe long before marketing ever existed.
I also don't see any danger of it "dying out". There are more independent releases today than ever before. Developments in technology have made it easier and easier for an average person to be able to have some end product and the boom in shorts is a clear t ...[text shortened]... ncomparably better than 2010 or Independence Day or many other blockbusters, in my opinion.
Beginning sentences with "and" is incorrect.

It's called colloquialism.
