More DescriptionOstensibly, this is a collection of Harlan Ellison s twenty-five years of essays and film criticism for various publications. What it is in reality is pure, raw, unapologetic opinion. "Star Wars"? Luke Skywalker is a nerd and Darth Vader sucks runny eggs. "Big Trouble in Little China"? A cheerfully blathering live-action cartoon that will give you release from the real pressures of your basically dreary lives.

It is a gauntlet, for sure, but it is also an exhilarating release."
