This is for whoever is/are Kelvin Thompson. I did not read your 1984 review, because I was not interested in the movie. I did read your A New Hope review and you fooled me. I really thought you were serious and that you had not understood the movie. Later postings to the net (yours and others) showed me the error of my thinking. When you reviewed Casablanca, I had by this time written you off as some one who was trying to get cheap gratification from making a few people mad at you. I read the review to see what you ahd to say, and found my ideas were still confirmed. Your last review though on Back to the Future was just plain stupid. If you were trying to inject a little satire in your other reviews, you really flopped with this one. Why don't you just stop posting your reviews, because hopefully most people will stop reading them. Charles J. Fox, really Kelvin, couldn't you have done something better than this?

Here's a little "advice" to all net.movies readers . . . I'm sure we all know by now that "Kelvin Thompson" is a hoax. You see, there are a lot of wierdoes out there, and the above mentioned name represents one of the WIERDEST!!! I really couldn't careless whether it is one "misguided, deprived-of-attention" person, a group of silly youngsters or an AI experiment. But I AM getting extremely bored of all the wasted time, energy and postings on him (flames etc). So here is what I suggest. PLEASE ignore him!!!! Like a brat who acts bratty just to get attention, if you ignore him, with any luck he'll eventually crawl back under his rock. Even if you read his stuff (I know there is a very irresistable curiosity to find out how awfully stupid people can be!!) please don't give him the satisfaction of knowing that you did. "BE REAL QUITE . . . MAYBE IT'LL GO AWAY!!!"

Just a short note so as not to waste your time or mine: I really enjoy Kelvin's reviews, and hope he keeps them up. They're quite enjoyable, and some of the best writing on the net since Ken Ardnt disappeared (from my notice, anyway). Can't figure out why so many people are irate over his stuff...
