Dear All,

If you receive an email from *PuremobileInc*. confirming a shipping order
with a large amount to be charged to your credit card - *delete it
immediately.*

This is making the rounds and the attachments contain a number of nasty
things. Even though it's in PDF format it can still harm your computer.

Hope this catches everyone before it's too late.

Re: Avatar box office update. Cameron talks Avatar sequels.

The sequel to Alien - Aliens - was superior to the original. T2 was superior to the original Terminator. If Cameron keeps up that trend then Avatar 2 promises to really blow us all out of the water.

I have to applaud your honesty and respectful review. I've always felt it was the job of a reviewer to give as candid an assessment as possible of a films merits or shortcomings.

Unfortunately it has become the rule rather than the exception to be as witty and clever and mean when writing a negative review as you can. While that can often be entertaining it is usually not very informative.

I largely agree with your observations and conclusions. I think the criticism of the acting and overall plot is a little overblown though. My feeling is that it was standard fare - not bad, not exceptional - just adequate.

The conclusion I came to was that when you introduce such a revolutionary new way to tell a story it often be best to keep everything else familiar.

The other observation is that Cameron clearly wants us to go back to Pandora. I'm remembering the first Terminator and the first Alien as being average introductions to exceptional sequels. I don't think anyone can argue that Aliens and T2 were superior to the first installments.

Thanks for your honesty. I hope other reviewers will take your example to heart.

slightly annoyed here. I had not intended to post my phone number and email for everyone in the world to see and have been trying for the past ten minutes with two different web browsers to delete that part of my post.

Even though I'm in edit mode it is NOT accepting the changes. Would someone please delete the whole damn post immediately since apparently members aren't allowed to.

Thank you!!

Hello Elizabeth,

My name is Joe Richie. I was one of the jurors on this case. I appreciate that you were much more diplomatic in your assessment of "Dr." Perches than most of us were.

I was expecting more interest from the media but I suppose the Vermont kidnapping captured the news cycle, and that's understandable.

If you have any questions, I'd like to make myself available to you.

You may email me at jdacats@gmail.com or I can be reached at (210) 379-7160

By the way, I hadn't realized the lights were off before we came in that day. I saw Perches talk to Sullivan and just assumed she changed her mind. In retrospect, I would have felt better with the lights off - it would have hid all the times I wanted to roll my eyes!

Sincerely,
Joe Richie
