Well, I won't rag on the scope of the scoop from my fellow filmophiles. 
Criticism is a short cut to creation or witticism, but looking forward to a 
post on posters by non-pontificating picture pundits who are artful at 
canvasing the captivating capsules in which some of us are able to be temporary 
caretakers of (and if we restore at least one scratch or paper with bleach, 
then we can rest on our hardy laurels knowing we made the cinematic history a 
better place than we found it--thank you Jaime and anyone whose purview is to 
allow a delicate posters to still be viewed.) Ralph seems to be a colorful 
fellow and shares a panoramic panacea of poster high points--and low points, 
and even mid altitude distribution points from a Lowe's standpoint.  The shades 
of blue and gray from the birth of an intolerant nation (by one of the four 
United Artists--though a pioneer in avante guard shooting styles, 
cinematography, and directing prowess) I know will be confidently and will not 
be ov!
 ershadowed or censored in a new daze of William Hayes, a non-egnitmatic pious 
and religiously bias two cents worth on the Nickelodian.

Looking forward to the premiere prose from Wall Street, which will be much more 
bearable and far less bullish, or BS, than the ticker tape, hackles standing up 
on the nape, of avarice top percent of our National Domestic Product, which is 
gross I hear, but no need to net in more cash, just be entertained and get come 
more animation for your dollar annihilate (or at least the ten percent solution 
and decimate.)

So, two non opposed, but opposable thumbs up for taking the time to type or 
bribe a transcribe from their Girl, Gal, or Guy Friday to articulate the 
article or transcription to get into the time slot submission with a double 
check on any letter omission where those with crosswords would give a puzzling 
expression to any misplaced dot on a j or an i or any other type of infraction 
that gets an odious "oh no" from the taciturn type-O personalities.

To quote Marcel Marceau, I'd need a clown who could also be a mind-reading 
stenographer. Or RJK did say (on that University of Pennsylvania prose and con 
day) that "One-fifth of the people are against everything all of the time." 
Can't please, or appease, or wipe upturned noses after every sneeze. Or Groucho 
Marx who would say: "Quotes, unquotes and quotes." "That's three quotes?" "Yes, 
sir."
"Add another quote and make it a gallon."

So looking forward to reading the pressheets from a peer-rewieved stylish and 
still swag rag whose intestinal fiber and pulp to fiber ratio is more reliable 
or stable from the pulp fiction diatribe diction abbreviated by the poster art 
keepers as zeros not the heroes who know when to buy a herald and avoid someone 
a who is blindly grabbing at a boom that is off keel and kilter while 
jettisoning reasoning and creating a flood of rare paper flotsum while still 
remaining three sheets to the wind, long in the face, short winded and now in 
the doldrums of nays in the horse latitudes.

WWHD? (What would Hirschfeld Do/Draw? He'd do what he always did and judge a 
man, or whoah-man, by the content of their caricature.

Leonid who played Sasha.)
