Hmmm......well if Don Dillon is in fact related to Melinda

didn't go the direction that some other threads gone have

people seem surprised that Woody Allen's movie, Husbands and Wives,
is not a runaway success, given he and Mia's recent notoriety. I am
not;  Woody does not make mainstream movies.  He has a very loyal
and devoted following, bnut he is definitely not for everyone.  To
me it seems that Woody makes movies about our fragility, our
shortcomings, our desires and their unattainability, and his
nerotic behavior and obsessions.  Woody's success is huge when you
realize the lack of grand f/x and lack of violence and nudity in
his pictures.  On the other hand, if you measure his movies with
Steven Speilbergs on a dollar basis, he stinks.  His fans prefer
to dwell on his ability to bring another type of story to life.

Yes, it's on Warner Brothers Records. This time there's only the one album,
and it contains Elfman's score along with Siouxsie And Tne Banshees' fab
song "Face To Face". Ask your local record store, it's available worldwide.

 I read an article on this - I forget where - subject.  Some directors
don't use the 555-xxxx number because audiences know that it's fake.
The number they used is not supposed to go into effect until after the 
year 2000.

Okay, okay, I'll admit it; I liked "Ishtar" too.  It seems that the
criticisms most people had of it at the time it came out, as I recall,
were essentially along the lines of "THESE two actors with THAT much
money couldn't turn out something better?!?"  If it had just been a
couple of unknowns, or they hadn't spent as much as they did (I can't
remember the figure, but it was a lot) it would probably have just been
a funny little movie.  As it was it was a big-budget, big-actor turkey,
in many opinions.

I actually saw my first THX movie the other day and was dissapointed.
When is saw the THX logo i thught, good decent sound. I wa expecting the "
The audience is Listening" intro to be a sort of "demo" (as has been 
indicated in these posts) so was actually expecting decent sound. 
Well it sucked, totally useless. I thought that to use THX to cinema had to 
apply to some standards or use certain equipment. Is it dependant upon the 
movie being shown (Basic Instinct), but the intro should be independant of 
that.
Is position critical, we were near the front, the inside end of the side row?
Anyway i just remember being dissapointed.
Any clues.

Remember this is Aus. But that should'nt matter should it. Kangaroos have

   It seems to me that Deckard WAS a replicant, but not among the
   original 6.  Probably the same generation as Rachel.

I've come to agree with that.  By the way, as someone pointed out,
he was stronger than Rachel (he pushes her around in the "rape"
scene).

   How Olmos knew about ANYONE's dream, be it a replicant's or
   a human's implies that he had to have been told about the dream.
   The dream probably then comes from another bladerunner.  This
   bladerunner could then be one of the bladerunners that was killed
   by Batty & company.

Oh, that is most excellent.  I love this.  Deckard is human, but
he's killed just before the movie starts, and they stick his memories
in this new model replicant Tyrell has built.  So the Deckard in
the movie isn't the real Deckard.

I bet the real Deckard was assigned to stake out the Tyrell Corp
when the replicants tried to break in, and one got fried in an
electric fence.  I can see Bryant and Tyrell now.

Bryant:  Jeez, what a mess.  F*ing skinjobs are walking tanks....

Tyrell:  Captain Bryant?  A word with you.

Bryant steps into an office

Tyrell:  I believe I may be able to help.  The policeman who was 
         killed--he was very good?

Bryant:  Deckard?  The best.

Tyrell:  I might be able provide a replacement, if you let me borrow
         his brain.

Yes it's more Blade Runner! ;)

Ok, the unicorn dream seems to be crux of the argument of whether Deckard
could be a replicant or not.  Actually this may not help solve that at
all but is an interesting idea. 

I seems really odd to me that Deckard would dream of a unicorn, even if
he's a replicant or otherwise.  Do you suppose the unicorn represents
the electric sheep of "Do Androids Dream of ..." ? 

If so, do replicants dream?  Do the memories that they give replicants
include dreams?  Could they dream of their own accord?  What does
the book say, I havn't read it?

Maybe dreaming of unicorns makes Deckard human.

Maybe we find that androids (Deckard) do dream of things. 

I think this is why we have a unicorn, it is obviously a dream and not
a memory.  But I still havn't a clue why he would dream of this
mythical beast.

I felt that way about Unforgiven.  I have seen most of the Clint
Eastwood movies, and liked them, especially ones like the Dirty Harry
movies.  This movie, Unforgiven, got good reviews, so I paid the $5+
bucks to see it when it first came to the theatre.  My wife is also a
fan of Eastwood, so we went expecting a neat movie.  At the end of the 
movie, we could not find one thing good in the whole movie.  I mean,
leaving two small kids in the wilderness to go and kill someone
is just bad bad bad.  And it gets worse from there....  This one
gets my vote hands down.

Correct.  Frank Oz at least worked with ILM at one point, I believe.
He is credited with the part of Yoda in The Empire Strikes Back...
