@nonattachmentmetta Similar comments don't in any way qualify as a comparative measure of accomplishment. To lump Antonioni in the same company, is just silly. If Jack Nicholson would so much as place a beverage on the dvd case of Cross Channel, I would happily eat my own words.

@cheesechase I've seen many similar comments about Antonioni's The Passenger on imdb. Well, seems like Ron Peck is in good company. The MTV generation may disagree )

@anadenanthera I have to dissagree. I have viewed Ron's more recent work (Cross Channel), and as a filmmaker, I was shocked to see his completed lack of filmmaking etiquette, knowledge and skill. - Poor composition, no understanding story story telling, within a 'film' structure. Painfully long shots that should be a fraction of the length, or cut out. Narration switching form 1st person, to 3rd person. I admit, his has a way with words. He would be better at writing poems... not making films.

Indeed, it is well known that Ron Peck is one of (Knees Up) Mother Earth's finest filmmakers and one with much to say, both on and off - thank you, OnePlusOne - screen.
