My previous note was not directed to Lewis Stiller, rather it was directed to
those who continue to waste my time of looking thru this newsgroup by not
sticking to the subject of the newsgroup.  So far, I counted about 30 notes 
in response to "Aliens: the greatest movie ever" and only 1 was composed of
art.  Understood?

The Joker (No way in any connection whatsoever to Batman's nemesis!)

	Well, you're wasting my time in *this* newsgroup, posting
