ah, david denby. i will always sort of love him because in 1983 or thereabouts he made a reference to taps that mixed up penn's and cruise's characters. i wrote to him, impassioned adolescent snail mail, and a few weeks later he printed a correction. the funny part is that i was sort of on the money and i doubt he had a clue at the time that the two of them would loom quite so large as actor and movie star respectively, especially tom, but at the time it was rather decent of him to bother...
re the GBs, i am sympathetic to the idea in that they represent something i feel was withheld from me for reasons primarily of class. but it's complicated.
