The way this newsgroup dynamic works, though, you will win. A
person who puts something down is always given more credence
than a person who praises something.

So, bitterly and sarcastically, once again I thank you for (unfairly
and cynically) trashing a movie that I especially liked.

Same whine as "Pearl Harbor": "I like it and the fact that the reality
it's based on is nonexistant doesn't bother me at all." The middie
named numerous points of divergence from the reality he knows--but
then, in your world, you're the expert.

Remember, if you don't like the same movies as Cal, you obviously hate
America.

I actually liked Annapolis better when it was called An Officer And A
Gentleman. At least then it had Debra Winger.
