Inevitably that'll put a lot of geeks off. However, I also think it stems from your willingness to express iconoclastic opinions: "Scorcese isn't all he's cracked up to be", that kind of thing, and perhaps your dry, ironic, and sometimes cynical British style. <BR/><BR/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22247172.post-513744336027426232007-09-05T03:22:00.000+00:002007-09-05T03:22:00.000+00:00Removing CinemaBlend for my bookmarks.
