   he doesn't need story anymore.. it would just get in the way.   
      
   Mr. Gibson is one of the few people i know of.. working today.. that can pull   
   me in with style and style alone and hold me there as long as he wants   
   too.  from Burning Chrome on up its been a  steady progression.. each   
   one slightly better than the last..   
      
   if u were looking for involved plot u went to the wrong guy.   
      
   if u were looking for artistry and skill.. ..well theres not many people   
   i bother to call Mr. .. its for a reason ; )
