THAT'S THE SPIRIT...
A quick note of thanks for Jeff Jensen's "Whose Afterlife Is It, Anyway?" article. It's the "namby-pamby pluralism" and "do-it-yourself salvation" of Hollywood's heavenly-minded dreck that discounts the emotional core of such films. Having Hollywood stand up for something of substance would be a welcome change from the all-inclusive afterlife notions peddled by the major studios today.

STAR SEARCH
Bless you, EW, for your Cliffs Notes on the Star Wars trailer! If I hear one more of my friends hypothesize about who Natalie Portman's playing or ask if Anakin Skywalker was Luke's estranged brother, I'm going to scream. Speaking for big-time Star Wars fans everywhere, thanks for bringing the rest of the world out of the "dark side." You guys rock! MAGGIE HELLRUNG mhellrun@gencin.com Boston
