Sometimes, when the mood takes me, I actualy respond to the messages in the guestbook. The results of this reside here. If you want to leave a message you are more than welcome, but do so at your own risk. Realise that if I choose to respond that I will probably insult and humiliate you, but that I am only doing it out of love. Also please keep your messages short, for the convenience of others.

Mantis and the Mantettes A reprint of Benneths tedious Kill Bill posting from the guestbook, which I have moved to here ONLY because it was taking up too much space, and NOT because I think there is anything more to be said about Kill Bill that hasn't already been said within these pages. Please lets hear no more about it.

Benneth's Fit of Doubt An enlightening 'essay' on the state of the advertising industry from one of you, the readers.

The Matrix Relauded The Atlantis Mantis argues semantics with another angry Matrix fan and indulgently uses their ignorance as a starting point for another one of its self important tyrades. But is there more to this conflict of lies and deceptions than meets the eye?...

The Matrix Re-Ranted This The Matrix Reloaded rant appeared in the guestbook the other day, and as rants go, its a fairly accurate assessment of the film. I have reproduced it here, complete with comments, because there can never be too many negative Matrix reviews in the world (well, there can really). It covers much of the same ground as my own rant on the same matter, but then theres only so much ground to go around - and whats crap is crap.

Stance of the Atlantis Mantis In which a mortal is foolish enough to suggest, of all things, that the Mantis has no view on current world politics.

Atlantis Mantis List All young Bethany wanted was a list of films the Mantis likes. It seemed like such a simple request...

Tantamount to a Mantis Rant Cheese string, drug culture, and why Spaced is both very good and very shit.
