The Letters to the Editor department is intended to be a forum for our readers to express their own opinions and ideas.

Xpo is a waste of money
hanks for your comments on the X-Files Expo. I feel that the fans need to know what to expect when they attend something like this and the comments were right on. Except, I found it to be a waste of money. I sent a letter to Fox about my experience and hope they realize that true fans of the X-Files did not appreciate what they gave us. The most amazing thing was that we were not allowed to take cameras inside. I've been to several conventions and this was never a problem before. Fox just wanted to get more money from us by buying their pictures, which we would have anyway! I had told all of my friends that I would have so many pictures to show them, and then I come back to work on Monday morning empty-handed. It was just plain stupide of Fox. First, they harass the fans who have Web pages on the Internet, then they charge extravagant prices at the Expo, what's next?

Food for the mind
read the letter that critiqued Dark City. I have to agree with this letter. It will probably become a cult movie. I don't think the masses will have a clue as to what the movie is saying. I saw the film on opening night. There were about 10 teen males sitting in front of me and three sitting behind me who appeared to be Navy (you live in a military town long enough, you learn to spot them). As the movie began to climax I had to bite my knuckles to keep from embarrassing myself. I noticed the teens in front sat in their seats like stone statues and the three behind me were looking at me as though I were crazy and they couldn't figure out what they were missing. I truly felt sorry for them.
It is more than a film. It is food for the mind.
