Speaking of violence, Buckaroo Banzai, and Conan, I am wondering who
peoples' favorite critics are out there.

I like Roger Ebert, not because I agree with his taste, though I do much
of the time, but because he gives gut reactions, not analyses, to the
movies he likes. I like Siskel, though not as much. I dislike Jeffrey
Lyons and the other (what's his name?) on Sneak Previews. 

In the papers, I particularly dislike Sheila Benson, mostly because she
liked "The Man from Snowy River" and "Never Cry Wolf". She is a bleeding
heart, urbane, talkative fool. She thought "Never Cry Wolf" was
authentic. Too much time spent in LA, I guess, although anyone can pick
up a book on Alaska and learn enough to see shades of "That Darn Cat"
all over that "authentic" pile of trash.

Richard Shickel (spelling?) in Time annoys me. He takes things too
seriously.

I hate to admit it, but I find Gary Franklin entertaining.
