I'D like to suggest that you replace your current movie reviewers with the Summer Movie Posse ["A Very Tough Crowd," by Patrick Goldstein, May 11]. Not only are Clara, Milena, Simona, Adam, Ryan and Tristan pithier, more in tune with the audience and far less pretentious than your regulars, but, keeping in mind the newspaper's financial woes, I bet they'd work a lot cheaper.

It's a sad truth of modern life that while "military intelligence" is an oxymoron, "criminal attorney" isn't. BURT PRELUTSKY North Hills

Regarding "Writers Guild Chief Is Retained Despite Doubts on Background," Jan. 28: As a longtime member of the Writers Guild, I wish to state for the record how ashamed I am that, for no better reason than political correctness, the board of directors voted 10 to 6 to allow Charles "Pinocchio" Holland to remain president of the WGA.

IT is bad enough that Michael Jackson was dangling his baby out of a fourth-story window (Quick Takes, Nov. 20), but the fact that the tot's head was covered with a towel makes me wonder if he is already undergoing plastic surgery. Burt Prelutsky North Hills

Regarding Pat Jordan's article ("Miami. L.A. L.A. Miami. Who Can Tell the Difference These Days?" March 3): When I saw the photograph of Oliver Stone, who's 50, looking wasted, with his arms around a couple of young women, and read that Jack Nicholson, who's pushing 60, rides off into the night with three women young enough to be his grandkids, I didn't find myself envying their lifestyle. I find myself instead wondering why these guys don't seem to give a damn what their own children must think of them.

It wasn't just "an instructor who . . . plucked Gary David Goldberg from his class, took the nervous student into his office and pronounced him a writer" (TV Times, Oct. 21). That man was the late, great, writer-human being, Nate Monaster, a one-time president of the Writers Guild. Burt Prelutsky, Santa Monica

Is there anything more tiresome than people complaining that those politicians with whom they disagree are playing politics? Isn't that rather like taking the New York Yankees to task for playing baseball? BURT PRELUTSKY North Hills
