I am amazed at the people who are complaining about Mr. Thompson's delightful reviews. Due to an unfortunate break in Usenet links, I missed the original posting for Star Wars and 1984, but just read the one about French rip-offs. Delightful! So many people take themselves so damned seriously that it's a pleasure to this netter to see someone like this have a little fun at the expense of these overly serious individuals. If we call attention to his work like this, maybe he'll write others! I only hope he can maintain his high level of quality and subtlety. --Evan Marcus P.S.

About all he could do was take potshots with the more obvious complaints and negativisms critics of Star Wars had. In short.... Mr. Kelvin's Star Wars article was neither clever nor fun to read. It was just plain dumb as tongue-in-cheek humor. -- UUCP: ...{decvax,ihnp4,allegra}!seismo!trwatf!root - Lord Frith ARPA: trwatf!root@SEISMO "There are none so blind as those that will not see"
