Thanks for your review of Dr Egg and the Man With No Ear [September 18]. I am… visiting from Sydney, Australia, for a week to see the early performances here…. Suffice to say we have considered the message very strongly in the development, and tried to depict a scientist who has a mixture of both altruistic motives and desires for fame, rather than the archetypal ‘mad, bad’ scientist. We… tried to focus on areas of risk and responsibility, while not condemning the human need to explore therapeutic or cosmetic applications for biotech…. We have discussed your point and are looking at reflecting more about the scientist’s altruistic motives and positive discoveries, so thanks for your crit! There were also science/art commentators in Australia who made similar points.

How I long for the old days, when I was the one desecrating the Reader’s movie coverage.
