Target Should Have Been Savlov, Not Baumgarten

Dear Editor,
    In last week's edition of the Chronicle, a letter of mine was published in which I blasted Marjorie Baumgarten's film criticism [“Postmarks,” Nov. 20]. But I made a terrible error in attributing to her a review of The Perfect Storm. You corrected me and pointed out that it was Marc Savlov, not Marjorie, who wrote the review of that film. My apologies to Ms. Baumgarten for my error. Sure, I consider her reviews to be awful, but she shouldn't be held responsible for a review she didn't pen. So instead, let me say to Mr. Savlov: "WTF, dude?" Typically, I agree with your take on films, and even when I disagree slightly, I still appreciate the verve and passion of your writing. But … The Perfect Storm? Really, Marc? I guess it goes to show that even great minds sometimes don't think alike.
