Taking Libertarians

Three stooges on stage. Iron Man Bowman. Elementary tenure. The lower 40. Plus more.
p> HE'S THE BEST br> Re: James Bowman's "Iron Man" : /p>

Jim Bowman's film reviews have been some of my favorite columns in TAS. He has saved me untold hours and dollars that might have been wasted on clever but valueless movies. The best part is that he tells me why these flicks stink on ice.

He has taught me the folly of expecting a film to have any relation to its trailer or promos by exposing the wearisome "educating" the filmmaker really had in mind. Even truly talented directors and writers have descended to trying to show me what a Neanderthal moron I am. The examples they give in their films of my values are invariably meant to graphically demonstrate just how wrong I am to have them. I go to a film to be entertained and uplifted, not insulted or disturbed.

p>That said, I may or may not see Iron Man , but Mr. Bowman will be a part of my decision as usual. His insight truly does cut through the Kultursmog to shine a little light on the pitiful state of the film industry. If I wanted to feel rotten, I could always just watch network TV. br> -- Skip Engle
