I wonder if this is based on the book "The Man Who Made Ireland."  If so, 
it should be a terrific movie. After all his accent can't be any worse than 
his accent in Robin Hood or Tom Cruises in Far and Away. Not sure why it 
would have to be action adventure to be successful.

"Comfort of Strangers" (at least I think that's what
it's called) was shot in Venice.  Not a great movie
by any stretch of the imagination, but fun.  (Christopher
Walken, Helen Mirren, Rupert Everett, and what's her
name -- Vanessa Redgrave's daughter.)

As somebody else has mentioned, the film was written by Rita Rudner (an
extremely funny American comedian, IMO, who, incidentally, is Jewish) and
her British husband Martin Bergman.

Huh?  Is being Jewish a character fault?  Or is being possibly Jewish a
character fault?  (bolemic, obsessed with appearance, possibly Jewish --
three strikes, you're out!)

From reading and hearing some of Rudner's other material, I would guess
that Rudner was making fun of Hollywood types in particular, not Americans
in general.  I don't know how three-dimensional the satire is, though...

Yes, it is the projectionist's job. But the projectionist's responsibilities 
are for all the screens. A projectionist should check each screen often. But 
you can't be everywhere at once. 

Everything boils down to: If you notice a problem, please tell the manager.

	According to Alex Cox on Moviedrome (so it must be true), Kubrick makes
1 film every 7 years (sounds odd enough to be true). Since the last was 1987
then we can expect something from him in around 1994.

This is a real bummer.  It is obvious to me where the mainstream-make-
the-audience-feel-squishy part would replace, and I think it takes
away the whole point of the movie.

The Vanishing is one of the most thrilling films I have ever seen,
that left that long-term deep and creepy feeling with me, so much
that I don't ever want to watch the film again---this and I loved
it.

So typical.  Take a great film, mainstream-ize it, and ruin whatever's
left of it with the trailers.  Kinda like the 'Women on the Verge...'
American-ized scenario with (gads) JANE FONDA.

Better yet, avoid the current trailers and go rent the original
'The Vanishing'.
