Saw this over at Anne Jackson’s blog today. I don’t get too fired up when people make movies, or write books disputing what I believe…even in an inconsiderate and mocking way. I’m actually pretty curious. I agree with this commenter at Anne’s blog: Brian Baute said, August 11, 2008 at 12:03 pm I’d be more [...]
