February 27, 1995
Well it looks like everyone wants to keep the plot synopses. In fact, it
would seem that you want to have even more plots than I've included. I will
include a synopsis for every film that I know. But understand that if an
entry doesn't have a synopsis, that means that I don't have one. So please
don't e-mail me to ask for specific plots when they're not listed. Thanks.
Enjoy...
