Dear Editor,
I’m afraid to let my children use those 3-D movie glasses. Should I worry about this?
Cathryn Scairdy, Rapid City, SD
Dear Cathryn,
The only known side effect of using 3-D glasses is that it causes more 3-D movies to be made.
Ed. Dear Editor,
These movies they make these days, you know what I mean, I like a lot of them. How do you know if a movie is funny?
Cleabold Dutz, Baton Rouge, LA
Dear Cleabold,
If you think a movie’s funny, it’s funny, even if you’re wrong.
Ed. Dear Editor,
My best friend Daisy said if I write to tell you we liked “Where the Wild Things Are” you would put us in your newsletter.
Rose Penstemon, Olympia, WA
Dear Rose,
Here you both are, and I’m with you on liking “Wild Things.”

| Dear Editor,
You’ve been doing your movie newsletter for thirty years? Wow. What kinds of things have you learned?
Alma Tahmwiltel, Mobile, AL
Dear Alma,
I’ve learned that the hook of The CampChuck Reviewer may be predicting the Oscars, but it’s really about a glad involvement with the movies and a glad tradition in the writing. I’ve learned there’s something fresh in the challenge of creating this newsletter every year. I’ve learned that, almost certainly, Meryl Streep is not going to call me.

Dear Editor,
I saw your statistics thing, man – 58% guess rate before last year. You couldn’t sneak up to 60%, even guessing them all right last time, could ya?
A friend, Los Angeles
Dear friend,
Yes, saying 60% resonates better than “almost 60%.” Guessing 5 of 6 right this year would tip the arithmetic past that benchmark. I suggest you rag on me for only averaging about 3.6 of 6 right, rather than quibbling about a percentage point or two.
Ed.
