...With all the holler, you'd think this was the movie miracle of the century. (This one critic got very serious about whether or not it was the masterpiece of the month.) The promoters have thought of everything--stickers, folders, posters, and a record of the soundtrack. I'll bet you anything they start leafletting in Harvard Square tomorrow. They even had this interview with Malcolm McDowell tacked on the wall. It ticked me off.

...season. But it is as hard to put down as a caveman's pet club. Shepard scants no claims for his cureall. Hunting will end war-because hunters "do not make war." Hunting will stamp out heart disease; the anxious jogger is only miming the chase. You can bet that the hunter has no trouble with his sex life either. Shepard goes lyrical about the connection between the kill and the orgasm...
