Chumkid, why do you bother being so wrong? If it's dull to you don't read it - but the self indulgence is on the part of the cinemaphiles who devour this column like fine swiss chocolate. That nearly sounded obscene, sorry. Devour the column, heh-heh.

I understand that human weakness and time constraints keep some reviews shorter, but no mention of the beautiful Inger Stevens? She must not have had a good role to be overlooked like that.

And the man pushed to his breaking point comparisons were spot on - I loved Falling down - but how about Hoffman in "Straw Dogs"? Based on the description, this sounds like a bad "High Noon meets Straw Dogs" pastiche. Though, as you said, with Stewart and Fonda, how bad could it be?

Maybe it's just because of when I grew up but I read EW and TV Guide and online entertainment news - including AICN of course - and todays "stars" just feel like tabloid fodder compared to the real Movie Stars" in most of the movies written about here.

All the best AICN talkbacks eventually get their own pet trolls, even the Heroes and Lost TBs. Just consider Chumpy a mascot and ignore him. this is not a democracy, but my vote is, keep at it until you've seen your entire DVD collection, have to quit due to health of family obligations or until you get absolutely no comments for a month and Harry asks you to stop.

So when you write for AICN do they get reprint rights or can you repost these to a blog or collect them in eventual book form? This shear volume of effort and info deserves to be archived (in a form that kids with ADD who think it's dull can easily avoid.)

If it's the one I think it is, looking forward to the Cheyenne Social Club review. Is that the movie where Fonda has trouble trying to roll a cigarette as a running gag that pays off in the end?

Also, Fonda is an over-rated bit-part character actor, and nothing more. I continue to fail to see what people are talking about when they fawn over his movies and throw laurels at his tomb. Meh, he's another guy in a huge auditorium full of character actors. He's no James Stewart.
