People writing movie reviews who have opinions! What IS this world coming to? Look, I'll type slow so even you can understand me. I am VERY GLAD that the Leepers constantly write movie reviews; while I may not always agree with them, they are quite well written and explain why they feel one way or another about a film. The function of net.movies is mainly (but not entirely) movie reviews... and obviously the Leepers (and Peter Reiher (sp?)) put a lot of time into just that. As to book reviews, if they have something to do with the movie, I don't mind -- and the books describing the making of 2001 are definately that. So bugger up, I want them to continue writing, you movie-reviewer misanthrope, you (boy, Reader's DIgest IS good for something!). Dear me, I seem to have flamed; so much for my mild-mannered image...
