No -- he never said that.  Notice the AND.  If he would have
said, ``Holly Hunter had to be the grossest female character which
means she has no sex appeal whatsoever'' then I can see where you 
can bitch.  But he didn't.  Just because you liked the movie and
Hoon didn't, well that's another difference you can settle...
