I'd just like to voice my disappointment that you chose to publish Graham Hill's "review" of Executive Action
on your otherwise informative and entertaining site. I put "review" in
quotes because the article was more to do with the writer's beliefs in
real life conspiracy theories than with the merits of the film itself.
I won't list my specific problems (and there are many) with the article
as I'm already corresponding via email with Mr. Hill himself.
Others have recently complained about the recent
trend in writers on the site adding their own political commentary to
the subject matter the site is ostensibly devoted to. The irony is that
more often than not I agree with a lot of the commentary and have even enjoyed reading a lot of it, but that is sort of beside the point. I object to it in principle simply because it has nothing to do with the site's supposed raison d'être. I'd have just as big a problem with it if you decided to start writing articles about the weather or sports. The Executive Action
article however was the straw that broke my personal camel's back, as
it were. I'm not saying the subject of politics needs to be totally off
limits. For example the red scare of the fifties and how it affected
Hollywood in later decades, or say the network's battle with The
Smothers Brothers are all fair game, in my opinion.
