Oops - didn't get that quite done.  I always assume that EVERYONE loves
movies as much as I do!  So I'm surprised that something that I regard as
fascinating storytelling is a matter of indifference or even animosity to
others that I "know" (or assume that I know).  And I mean this with a
certain amount of self-deprecating humor.  So, Scott, it wasn't volume at
all, but tone - and my own surprise!
