never bothered to post a few thoughts or reply to me asking you what you thought about it. I was thinking, "Wow, if he acknowledged his unfavorable reactions to Damnation, he must really think badly of Werkcmeister to not even say anything." LOL.

Man, I was trying to tell you! I'm sure I offered my 2 cents that you miss Damnation and must see Werckmeister if you could only watch 2 of the 3 'cause you already said Satantango was a guarantee. You even said you were gonna catch Werckmeister 'cause people you know spoke highly of it.
Damnation was good in my view, but certainly several levels below Satantango and Werckmeister. I realize Damnation is pretty tough to like 'cause it's so bleak and meaningless, but that's the character's life. I know I felt like shit watching it and a bit after; so in that sense, it was successful.
