Give me a break, narrow-minded-thinking MFs. The music was just fine when a few listened, but now the whole world wants to listen and some people just don't like that idea. Hair Balls and the letter writer both sound like that typical suburban MF who knows nothing about rap except what you see/hear in the media. I have no problem with criticism, but please educate yourselves before you criticize next time.
So Hair Balls, did you make it to the summit, cowardly MF? "Hip-hop Slop," give me a break.

Lighten up:I liked Legally Blonde ["Legally Bland," by Robert Wilonsky, January 22]!
Robert needs to lighten up and not be so hypernegative. The whole review of Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! read like one long rant.
As for the Win a Date movie itself, I haven't seen it (I'm too poor to afford the modern "movie theater experience"). Maybe Robert is correct, but maybe the readers would like not to experience his unrelenting negativism.
Robert needs to be carefully watched (that is, read), and I suggest everyone study his reviews carefully. I know I will.
So, yes, I am going to see the movie! Robert convinced me. (Well, when it comes out for rental, that is.)

Houston A Break Away
Fondue delight: I agree with about 90 percent of what you said in the Fondue Monks' Live review ["Local Rotation, by Bob Ruggiero, January 29]. I personally think "Lovely Lady" is one of their best and well-written songs, but that's why we're here: to voice our opinions. I've followed that group for almost ten years and truly believe they are one break away from big things. I highly suggest to any music fan and especially a Texas music fan to do yourself the favor and see them live at least once -- you'll be hooked.

Humble Monks: Thanks for the support and warm review of Live. This was a straight-up review, and I expect nothing more from you. I appreciate all the support you have given us, and we really are thankful for all the mentions and coverage.

Houston Imperfect Score
On the Matt:Good review of The Perfect Score ["College Bored," by Luke Y. Thompson, January 29]. I especially liked your comments about Matthew Lillard; he often seems as if he just wandered on set and the director was too nice to ask him to leave. Personally, I like Lillard.
He is, if nothing else, interesting to watch on screen. I just wanted to let you know that Brian Robbins, the director, did not helm Summer Catch. It was in fact Robbins's friend Mike Tollin who directed Lillard in that mess. Other than that, good review. I like your style.
