Sorry, Eramelinda Boquer, but it's not just that one music critic whom hates John Lennon's insipid dirge "Imagine". I hate that anthem to athiesm and socialism too, and I'm not even a music critic. ("Imagine there's no possessions..." the hypocrite was living in the Dakota apartment building when he was killed!) And I'm not the only person whom hates "Imagine" either:
So does this guy.
And this guy.
And this guy.
And this guy.
And this guy.
And this guy.
And this guy.
Well, you get the idea. Google "John Lennon", "Imagine", and "Dirge", and there are plenty of others.
Also, while I'm apologizing to CJAD people, sorry, Kevin Holden, you're free not to like it but I think Freddy Got Fingered is an absurdist gem. It's not in my all time top ten along with Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and others, but, still, I did love it enough to buy the DVD the first day it came out. It only got 10% on the RottenTomatoes.com Tomatometer, but that still means 9 out of 90 critics listed on that site liked it. I especially agree with A.O. Scott's review of Freddy Got Fingered in The New York Times, which got reprinted in the Freddy Got Fingered DVD insert.
I do agree with you on Metro Video, though, and I wish I could get paid to endorse them. Or, at least, get free anime DVDs. Or maybe I should make an offer to DVD Passion? (Eh, maybe if I had more than a couple of dozen readers a day this would be more than a pipedream, but the direct, non-search engine hits are increasing.)
