So Long
You confuse intelligence with pomposity, and are one of those incapable of using the word 'intellectual' without placing a 'pseudo' in front of it. Can you provide a single example of pomposity without substance in one of his full reviews? Perhaps you could find it in his review of Friday the 13th Part 23, or one of your other favorites.— November 16, 2010 6:39 a.m.

I'm sure the Reader will provide you some monosyllabic grunts, maybe a nice thumb up or down, so that you can finally understand the reviews in its pages. Those of us that appreciate substance have lost a great resource.— November 11, 2010 8:03 p.m.

Duncan Shepherd is a San Diego institution, so this is a sad day. I have enjoyed his idiosyncrasies and erudition for almost fifteen years. This is a great loss to San Diego. The Reader should have made a much bigger deal out of this, with a cover story, an interview, the web site should feature this as a headline story. Duncan is the only reason I have continued reading the Reader these past years. How very sad to see him go. After seeing a movie with my wife, one of the most enjoyable topics of discussion was "What do you think Duncan would say?" and trying to predict how many stars (or the dreaded spot of antipathy) he would bestow. It's so sad we will no longer be able to follow up on our predictions. I hope they keep all of his reviews up, I am presently watching all of his five-star movies.— November 11, 2010 7:56 p.m.
