D Plus
This e-mail is in response to Robert Wilonsky's review of Tenacious D's movie, The Pick of Destiny.
You are way off. This movie was destined to bomb at the box office but also to become a cult classic. The D has a hardcore fanbase, which has never gotten enough skits featuring the D. Both Jack Black and Kyle Gass are excellent musicians, and if you have ever seen them in concert, they put on a hell of a show. Did Half-Baked get great reviews? No. Is it on 50 percent of favorite movie lists on Facebook and MySpace? Yes!
Just because you might have to be drunk or high to see a movie, don't count it out. Twenty years from now, I expect this movie to be played on Comedy Central for a whole new generation to enjoy. Long live the D! Andrew Tate, Kansas City, Missouri

Tech Support
Well, personally, I think — no, I know — that Tech N9ne at 35 or 45 or 55 and so on is always going to be my No. 1. No, nothing will ever change that; not even the fact that he's losing his hair. Who cares? He's still sexy, with or without it.
I love his music, his style. I love it all. I know a lot of people will agree with me. Cynthia Cervera, South Lake Tahoe, California
