He was speaking for the whole of the UK yesterday (quote: "...this is why American films are regarded as the worst in the world - at least by residents of the UK"), so this is at least some improvement.
So, you weren't paying attention when American films such as The Patriot, Pearl Harbour and U-571 died in the UK cinemas. Each of these films drastically altered actual events in order to make the Americans look more heroic, and in Patriot and U-571 this was heavily at the expense of the British. Then there's Saving Private Ryan which has a cryptic reference to the RAF being unable to do their jobs when in the real thing, horrendous weather conditions prevented them from supporting the beach landings. The Patriot is reviled as anti-British. So was Titanic to some extent. Braveheart was funded by the Americans.
Modern Hollywood horror films such as Jeepers Creepers, My Little Eye, all the Scream clones, the Halloween and Alien legacy and so on are all carbon copies of each other with the same ephemeral cast members - ephemeral because most of them will be forgotten by 2005. It's got so bad Hollywood is now churning out endless vehicles for pop stars e.g. J-Lo, Britney and so on, each of which has been dreadful.
I know America makes all the films anyway but each Hollywood 'blockbuster' is crap in its own way. There is some really good stuff out there but it's hidden beneath a morass of rubbish.
If I speak for other people it's with complete assurance that I am right. One of my mates is heavily into cinema and he is continually berating every American film going; he loves British films. My brother is addicted to British films.
On the other subject, yes, the females of many species are bigger than the males. But Cacodemons are Cacodemons. They are the spawn of evil. Creatures from hell. It's unlikely they would have gender as we recognise it; they are presumably moulded from pure human hatred and become sentient after a certain amount of time. This would be the equivalent of 'birth'. They're also very BIG. That's why they are scary. It's also one of the reasons they are different from Lost Souls.
