- I don't disagree on the C/W issue, but I would not use the "vs."
- Too anthropomorphic.

- The film was done. It's the adaption of Mowat's "Never Cry Wolf."
- A fine film.* The character Dances with Caribou near the end.
- Bambi had a sequel in Bambi Meets Godzilla and Bambi lost there
- (Oh, I'm sorry for posting the spoiler...).
- For the life of me I can't understand why Dances with Wolves gets to
- much press other netters refer to it as well. I thought it was a
- marginal film, it had very little to do with wolves (one wolf, one).
- At least, Charles Martin Smith played a biologist in Mowat's film.

- Hey, I will defend your right to get Computer Science funding for AI,

- >Smite the foe. Can't we get a few guides to post too?
-
- Really? I used to guide. I will have the legal paperwork.
- What would you like to know? Did this count?

- *) I feel strongly about one thing wrong with the film, but it's only
- because I read the book later. Gad, nearly a week pass by, and no one
- mentioned this. Amazing.
