| It's perfectly possible to enjoy both Marvel movies and Pinter plays. My being entertained Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart in the X-Men films didn't in the least hinder my appreciation for their performances in No Man's Land. But perhaps you lack that sort of intellectual flexibility. | |

| Do you purposely go out of your way to write in an insulting, snotty, and alienating tone, or does it just happen naturally? Does it serve you well? | |

| No, calculation | |

| As always, it is not about you, or the person you responded to, or any of us. Whatever intellectual flexibility the two of you may or may not have, there is no evidence that the TYPICAL Marvelista possesses that superpower. Calculation is not snobbery. It be silly to pretend there is a lot of crossover. | |

| The comic writers, too. I was lucky enough to count Len Wein (decades long career as writer at both Marvel and DC, creator of many of the later X-Men, including Wolverine; member of the Comics Hall of Fame) as a close friend, and Len was an avid theatre fan. He and many of his colleagues saw damn near everything on Broadway in the years Len lived in NYC. At a memorial for Len at our local annual science fiction convention, most speakers talked about Len's comics work. I spoke of his love for theatre. Laura L |

| well, and that does not surprise me in the least. When I first met Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa he was working at the Shakespeare Theatre in Washington DC. And I am sure you can appreciate that the sum total of all the comic book writers of whom you speak would not be sufficient to make a single Wednesday matinee a success. :-) Well, maybe at the Helen Hayes. :-) | |

| Of course. And a lot of those whom Stan Lee deemed "True Believers" don't care a fig about theatre. But there is some overlap. I can speak more authority about the related field of science fiction and fantasy publishing/writing/general fandom. Plenty of theatre buffs. (Not enough, alas, to convince any of the sf publishers to buy my time-traveler-saves-Gershwin novel, though.) I think Hiddles will draw them in. The screening of his CORIOLANUS that I attended some years back sold out--and on his name, because you can't say it was for the material. Laura |

| I think I have made my point and you have made yours. I'll just point out that selling out a screening is not on the scale of (let's say) the $12mil this is going to need to take in, at a minimum, to be a success. But I'll repeat the chorus of my song: we shall see. | |

| You're an exception, obviously as well as others. A lot of young folks like Marvel, and there's a good chance they'd be bored by Pinter. I wasn't thinking of you; however, since you assert yourself and try to insult me and others on a regular basis, there must be a number of reasons you never show yourself at an ATC get-together, and it's been discussed by others, not your to advantage. | |

| I have been to an ATC get-together. The 'sport' of bad-mouthing those who are not in attendance -- which you seem more than eager to cop to -- is ample reason not to return. | |

| I've overheard discussions (my words were "it's been discussed by others") and have participated in some in trying to figure out the character of some of the more colorful posters who usually don't show up. That doesn't mean bad-mouthing, just that we don't necessarily like what they post or how they express themselves. But, there are plenty of fine people to talk to who do show up. | |
