I am beginning to think your only reason for existence in The Corner is to see how many people you can p— off. I love this movie and always have. I don’t need critics to tell me what movies to like or dislike and I don’t need you to tell me I am an idiot because most critics happen to like a movie I like. You don’t like “The Searchers”. Fine. It warms my heart that you feel validated by another person’s opinion. Just don’t expect everyone else to suddenly change their feelings toward this great movie.

I don’t expect anybody to change his feelings. Believe me, holding the opinion that The Searchers stinks definitely places me in the minority. I take comfort, however, in the deep certainty that I am right.
