Interesting letter of the day

Filed under: On Movies & MediaBrokeback MountainReader Mail

Got the daily bundle of letters in response to the Brokeback Mountain reviews, but I also received one that was quite unusual. I don't usually post the complimentary letters because I don't want to appear to be glorying in somebody's appreciation. But this one really struck me...

I do not agree with most of your reivews, but I am enthusiastic that there is a site such as yours that has the 'approval' of the Rotten Tomatoes group of critics.


I can sometimes be quick to write someone if I disagree with their review of something. But when was the last time I wrote to somebody whose views I disagree with... just to point out the couple of things I might admire about their work?

What a humbling gesture.

Thank you, sir.
