I have never found it necessary to flame Kelvin Thompson before, but since
I have some interest in the subject at hand (having had Gallipoli drummed
into my skull every ANZAC day for the last umpteen years) and since there are
apparently one or two people who take this guy seriously...

Look up Gallipoli in the library before deciding not to see this movie on the
strength of Kelvin's review.

Oh, by the way Kelvin: you're really beginning to reach. Perhaps you have
exhausted the possibilities of the medium (spoof reviews). Your BTTF review
was a particularly bad example, but this isn't much better. Why don't you go
review Coccoon or ET?
