Glad y'guys enjoyed it. Chris, the excerpt regarding Apocalypse comes from an essay titled "Why are movies so bad? Or, The Numbers" that first appeared on the June 23,1980 issue of the New Yorker and was reprinted for Kael's book "Taking It All In". It includes a nasty put-down of Alien. But I think Johann likes it and I don't want to bring him pain. We're talkin' war films anyway.
