Mark Steyn didn’t write this article. Rick McGinnis did.

Whatever it is they better be quiet, feature gay sex scenes, warn about global warming, and have no white people.

The scariest part was the shock when that head appears from the boat window underwater.

I read the book. We had moved from Vancouver, Washington to 20 acres on the sude of Mt. Adams so there was no TV at our house in the Summer of 1975

In fact, the official Universal merchandising was minimal – T-shirts, beach towels, posters – and when Spielberg proposed a chocolate shark, he was turned down – the first and last time in the career of Steven Spielberg that he would be refused a merchandising opportunity by a studio."

LOL! Bad idea to go against Spielberg when it comes to chocolate. M&Ms turned down his request to feature E.T. eating them - and he used Reeces Pieces instead - exploding their sales overnight.

They produce nothing I care to see. Further they don’t like people like me and often make crap to shove their beliefs in my face.

When I saw Jaws in the theater, at the part where Chief Brody is chumming the water and the shark appears, I instinctively jerked my hand back and smacked the lady sitting next to me!

I think she was so startled by that scene that she didn’t even notice I hit her!

Actually, Rick McGinnis, who writes the movie reviews for Steyn on Line. But yes, FAIL!

“Bad Boys Ride or Die” was excellent. “Twisters” looks good.

My friend, actor and director Nick Searcy, says his son-in-law wrote a great script called “Thelma” which is coming out-—a “Beekeeper” with a 93 year old woman wanting to get the people who scammed her out of money. Says its funny and touching. The lead is played by . . . a 93 year old woman! It also features Richard Roundtree (Shaft) in his final role before death.

Oh, yeah.
It was the first time I had it confirmed that girls did stuff like that. I thought the guys was pulling my leg.
They weren’t.
I was such an innocent.
