Oliver Stone did this for JFK. At least that's what a friend of mine tells
me. He has contacts at almost every computer graphics and special effects
shop in Hollywood, so he probably knows what he's talking about. In addition
to aligning the frames I think they were also enlarged, and panned to keep
JFK in the center of the frame, and perhaps image enhanced on a computer.
If you want I can find out which company did all of the work.

Inconclusive. How do we know Ah-nold is not an 850 series in T2? Or a
900 series? Or even a 999 series?

What, they look the same, you say? So do a '91 and a '92 Mustang.

Nowhere in T2 does Ah-nold say what series he is, so there's no way you
can be certain.

	I understand BRENDA STARR will finally get a limited release
in LA and then on to wider release if it fares well.  Though I'm often
disappointed with comic book films,I'd still love to see it.  Being
held back for so long, though some of the fault seems to be that part
of the financing was tied in to the BCCI scandal, may cause some to
stay away. Yet Brooke Shields claims its the best film shes ever done
and hopes it will resurrect her career. (Contrary to most peoples 
opinion of her acting, she did a pretty good job in BACKSTREET DREAMS,
so maybe the fault with most of her films belongs to her directors.
Anyway, maybe the film deserves a chance.)

(1) Does anyone (especially Australian readers) know if a soundtrack

of a record store or record company I could contact to ask about

**SOLID SCRIPT!?!?!?!** 

Oh come on!!!
Why do you think that discussion is so huge on T2?
It's because the "plot" (heh heh) is bullet-ridden with inconsistensies,
implusibilisites, goofs, continuity errors, mix-ups, cheap manipulations....

In short, the script SUCKS!!!
It is possible for me to name HUNDREDS of problems with the "story", and
just right off the top of my head!  The movie itself, as a story, is a 
piece of shit.

oh, well, enough flaming of T2.....

My point is, T2 is the most-watched movie of 1991.  Thousands of people
came in (like me) expecting an exciting, engrossing, consistent chase
story along the lines of T1.  Then we get stuff like a multimillion-dollar
comptuer systems company which a) is 'guarded' by two old codgers, and b)
has security systems that can be broken into by an ATM computer gadget
(that the kid 'JUST HAPPENED' to bring along? how amazing!! gag!!!!).
The simple effect is, a lot of people got a chance to see all the flaws of
T2, and they just want their questions resolved.

So stop your bitching; just read something else!
a simple

/T2/:j

should take care of all the T2 posts you so deperately want to avoid.

Bodhi means enlightened, I believe.  Buddha is derived from it (Enlightened
One).  A Bodhisattva is someone who is about to become a Buddha in
the next reincarnation.  In Mahayana Buddhism, which is the more
populist variant (say, almost everywhere outside of a monastary),
the Bodhisattva decides to remain in the circle of reincarnation out
of mercy.  The Bodhisattva refuses to go to Nirvana until every other
being has escaped out of the circle of reincarnation into Nirvana.
He remains to help.  The Buddha on the other hand, has left.
Oh, Bodhisattvas in the Mahayana tend to be more or less dieties,
or at least saints.  You can call on them for help.

   Accuracy depends on the theatre.  Given my head (i.e. if 'THE BOSSES'
let me do it the way I think it should be done...) I could gross an
additional 800 - 1100 dollars.  Figure net to be about 74% of that.
The problem would be that the way to do this would confuse the hell out
of regular patrons as I would run the film 180 degrees out of phase with
the rest of the schedule....if everything runs at 1 5 7 9 I would run
Batman at 12 2 4 6 8 10 (getting two extra shows and keeping patrons who
don't want to see batman from having to deal with the circus it WILL 
generate at the box and in the hallways.)  But I don't have the authority
to go _that_ far with the show schedules.  I have a template I must follow.

   I also have a specific limitation that has different faces at almost
every theatre in the world.  The physical layout of the theatre itself
severely limits the flow of people through the complex.  I can only have
four lines at the concession stand.  When business increases 100% my 
concession gross increases only about 45-55%.  It is directly related to
how long the lines get and how fast the staff can move people through the
lines without making them feel like cattle with wallets.  I also have a
lobby which can only hold about 40 people before it's shoulder to shoulder.
Makes the lines look eternal, so people blow off popcorn.

   Add to this that I can only have two lines to sell tickets and you see
that we can't get them in fast enough to stand in line long enough to make
it worth my while.  There are theatres (newer ones mostly) that are 
designed with selling popcorn in mind.  (All praise to cash, from whom
all profits flow.  Praise cash all peons here below....)  They would be
interested in the shorter-movies-for-profits scenario you originaly raised.
Most of the theatres I have worked for and have attended with regularity
do not see this as a major concern.  We want the movie for the I've-seen-
it-x-times-and-I'll-be-back-tommorow crowd who see it later in the films
run when we get 70 and the studio gets 30.  If I make enough half dollars
during the usually slow midweek period it will make up for the extra I
spent on the hectic weekend time where all of those people goofed off while
you watched your movie.  (think of it...how much work can you make for 12 
people that would take them 2 hours to fix?)

   Does this answer your question a little better?  If I found a tagent
again, feel free to drop another line.  Gives me something to do with
my mornings ;-)

I saw Beethoven.  I went only to see the dog and for slightly less
than 90 minutes that's what I enjoyed.  I was amazed at how flimsy
the "story" was and at how hard the writers had to work to stretch
it to 80+ minutes.  The casting of Dean Jones as the bad guy was
droll.

It says something about the American Film industry when this is the
first theatrical film I've seen in a regular cinema since Christmas.

Hi, Does anyone know the name of the movie where Harry Belafonte
is trapped underground in an access tunnel, I guess, in a city.
While workers are trying to dig him out, the machinery is making
a certain rythm and Harry takes a rock, taps it on a pipe, and
sings, "I don't like it...nobody likes it....".

When he finally got out, he was, like, the last man on Earth or
something.

Thanks in advance.
