Harlan Ellison's Watching

Everybody's entitled to his own opinion, right? WRONG!! He or she is entitled to an informed opinion-so if you don't like being argued with, if you don't like a tital stranger telling you that your opinion is stupid, and you're fulla crap, DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK! Because this guy never learned how to lie, and he is either adored or printed on hate posters in Cheney's office, Ku Klux Klan dens, schlock poroducers' bathrooms, and those idiot sites on the internet that truckle to ultra-maroons.

The View Is Guaranteed To Make You Grind Your Teeth In Anger, Nod Your Head In Blessed Agreement, And Open Your Eyes In A Manner Of Judging Films That Is Definitely Not Plebeian. Harlan Ellison's Love Affair With Movies Is Obvious. As An Essayist, He Has No Equal; As A Film Critic He Has No Friends. Take Care.
