What?? Why?? I enjoyed reading the review, even if I thought he was way off base! I also enjoyed calling him on some of his thoughts. I'm eagerly awaiting to see how many others agree or disagree with his points of view. Don't you DARE end your attempts to generate discussions. Just cuz *I* thought he was loony, doesn't mean he isn't entitled to voice his viewpoints on the movie. I suspect there are folks out there who HATE the movie, and possibly for many of the reasons he listed.

I was in NO way trying to argue with YOU...just rebutting his particular opinions. And the review IS humorous...just not my idea of accurate. So what? Nobody died and made me Queen here or anywhere else!

Come on and post some more stuff like that. It's good for us to read other people's ideas.

MMMM
