  Oh, but it IS worth seeing.  Flawed, yes, but definitely worth seeing,
especially for the 40% or so of Americans who NEVER read books and can
benefit the most from it.
  By the way, I was talking with a friend of Alice Walker's this weekend,
and I asked her, "So what does Alice REALLY think about the movie?"  She
said she was very distracted and disturbed during the first viewing at 
what had been left out, but that she had seen it four or five times now,
and really "loves it."  She loves Spielberg, too, saying she was amazed 
at how intimately he knew the book.
