Hello,
\nMy name is Michael and I have just viewed your film “Five”. I must say i’ve seen many movies in my day and yours was by far the worst I have ever seen. You have robbed me of 90 minutes of my life that I would have happily spent watching paint dry instead of watching this crap. You have failed as a person and a writer may god have mercy on your soul.
\nThanks Michael Ibbotson.

hello Michael
\nthank you for watching Five<\/a> and for taking the time to email me your thoughts.
\nregards

I look at Mr Ibbotson’s email and I smile. I’m not sure why.<\/p>\n

Is it the novelty of his being the first email of its kind?<\/p>\n

Is it that its grammar and spelling are a hop-skip-and-jump ahead of most of the emails I get from people I don’t know?<\/p>\n

Is it that on his MySpace profile<\/a>, his favoured films include ‘Shooting and killing movies, funny movies, and surfing movies’, and under books he lists ‘Motor Mag<\/i>, Tracks Mag<\/i> [and] Surfing Life Mag<\/i>‘?<\/p>\n

Or is it that he took the time to share his thoughts and<\/b> put his name to it in these days of internet anonymity?<\/p>\n

Whichever the reason, ‘Ibbo’ has given me cause to smile today, and I thank him for that, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
