Your review of "Boiler Room" contains a factual error. The line claiming that there's a sale made every phone call that you attribute to Nicky Katt is actually delivered by Ben Affleck.

Uh Oh. You think maybe I've been confusing Nicky Katt and Ben Affleck all along, and Ben Affleck really was the star of the movie?

Lemme just say "Malkovich" was my favorite movie of the year and I think you missed the point. It was anything but typical and probably overloaded your mind which is programmed by all the crappy movies you love like "Reindeer...". Anyway, I must say that I'm impressed with your site.

Impressed with my site, huh? Nothing like paying a guy a compliment as you're plunging a dagger into his back. For the record, I never accused Being John Malkovich of being "typical". I said it was a train wreck. There's a difference.

So by giving Reindeer Games a "B-", it means I loved it? How come when I gave a "B-" to American Beauty, that other guy wrote in and said I was an idiot for not liking it more? I guess this is what's meant by dealing with the public. :-)

Just writing to say that I think this Web site is excellent. OK, now that I've buttered you up, I do have one request. Is it possible for you to set up an e-mail list to inform people when the site has been up-dated? I realize this would mean extra work, but it would save me a lot of disappointment when checking to see if there have been any changes, and it may remind others to come back and have a read.

Just a suggestion, whether or not you choose to follow it is completely up to you.

Thanks for your comments. With regard to e-mailing update notices, I have to admit it never occurred to me. I'm a little concerned about such notices just adding to the spam we all receive in our in-boxes. I'll post your letter in my "mail bag" section, and see if it invokes similar e-mails from others, but for now I'm going to politely decline. The top of the main page lists the most recent updates for all sections of the site, so it shouldn't be too hard to tell at a glance if anything new has been added since your last visit.

I try to update at least the movie reviews about once a week, so if you check in on a weekly basis you'll probably catch the reviews hot off the press. Of course, if you stop by every day you'll at least see a new "quote of the day" each time. :-)

we really appreciate the design and brevity of yer site, minimal graphics, and lack of constant advertising, and we'd be privileged and honored if you'd like to sport the crankydog.com "hey it doesn't suck" website award.

this isn't just a cheap-ass trick to create links to us. we have other cheap-ass tricks for that.

if you think my attitude stinks, you should sniff my butt.

Well, first of all, I'd like to thank my goldfish Myron for his constant support...

I checked out your site, and it seems to be legit. But in the back of my mind I have the feeling you bet someone five grand you could get some sucker to post a picture of a peeing dog on his website...
