...shame that everyone was more concerned with getting photos of every ship and firework than really watching and enjoying them. The fireworks, shot off 40 barges, were incredible--but everyone around me was glued to their viewfinders...

...shame that George Harrison's Handmade Films, which had become a trademark for quality silliness like Time Bandits or the darker Brazil, should sink to almost pre-Vaudevillian gags in Water. Then again, when the audience is laughing out loud, we often forget to hang on to the story line...
