I haven't seen Slacker yet but have read a great deal about
it.  When it was released in Bloomington Indiana the local
newspaper did an article where they talked to slacker's of note
in and around town.

It was reviewed recently in Video magazine as a new video
release so it should be in video stores soon.  Even in Terre
Haute :-)  (no offense, I grew up in TH)

The Dick novel that -TOTAL RECALL- was based on was actually a short story.
The title mentioned was correct, but Dick then also wrote a novel called Total
Recall which is a more elaborate, greater detailed rendition of the short
story.  I'm not sure if this is a novelization of the movie or vice a versa.
It has been awhile since I read it.
The Star Trek episode was "City on the Edge of Forever" that Harlan Ellison
wrote.  A mighty fine one if I do say so myself!
While we are the subject of novelizations and Star Trek let me bring up a
little piece of trivia that I mentioned about 5 months back.  The original
title to -STAR TREK : WRATH OF KHAN- was "Star Trek : the undiscovered
country". Harve Bennett must have liked it so much that he revived it for ST
VI!

  This is a very good question. I think the process is similar
in how they "paint" movies, by computers. The already have the
tecnology (since a long time, now) of making great OLD movies,
from black & white to COLOR. If I'am wrong,please correct me.
If anyone knows anything else, please share it with us.

X-To:         CINEMA-L@american.edu

I first mentioned this topic when my wife read the brief AP wire story;
since then I have been getting the "news" here on CINEMA-L, plus the
headline story in the NEW YORK DAILY NEWS that showed a picture of
Woody Allen under the title "EVIL" (it was an interview with Mia's mom).

The whole story seems pretty ugly - but not unsuprising - I think back
to the plot of MANHATTAN and I have some vague recollection that his new
film also deals with the theme of older men and younger women - I wonder
how much contact he's had with Soon Yi before the "affair" (if the stories
are true) - I hope not much.

This is all very depressing.

Subject:      Help! Library assistance?

I came across reference to an article which sounds very interesting.
No bibliography info though!  I've looked through all sorts of
indexes, and checked bibliographies of a bunch o' books and can't
find it.  Here's what I know:

Author:  Umberto Barbaro
Subject:  French pre-war cinema (WWII)
Date:  1942

That's it.  Language could be French, but is probably Italian.
Probably in a journal.  If anyone could see if Barbaro has entries
in bibliographies of French cinema books, I'd be mighty beholden.

Oh--our library has a couple of books by Barbaro, but the piece
isn't collected in them, and I didn't see where he cited his
own piece either...

Hi all.     <-----Another boring comment from Arex$----->

    To all of you, mexican movie fans, I'am glad to inform you that the
movie called "La Tarea"(the homework), a Jorge Humbeto Hermosillo film,
has been released. It's an excelent movie. It's part of the new era of
mexican cinema. Don't miss it. It's a great comedy. I've never laugh so
loud in a mexican comedy of the 90's, with exception of the movie
La Risa en Vacaciones. <------ as a commment, this is not really a movie,
this is a film, were the "actors" are real people, is like hidden camera.

Talking books have been around for years but in the last 3-5
there has been great expansion of what is available.  In addition
to abridged (usually available at bookstores) and full text (usually
what libraries stock) there are now many in both categories that
are read by some figure prominent in a film or tv version of the
work.  Edward Petherbridge has read several of the Peter Wimsey
stories that were on tv and there are many readings of novels that
have been made into movies that are being read by one of the stars
of the movie.

Subject:      Film adaptation bibliography (in progress)

Someone suggested that I post the items I have already looked at on
film adaptation.  What follows is a list of the dozen or so, alphabetic
by author or editor.  I left the LC number there since my bibliography
program does that...

First the commentary:  I like the section in Keith Cohen's book which
addresses literature and film as languages & translation.  (Not surprising,
since that's what I'm looking for.)  I also thought Sinyard had a good
section in his:  "Adaptation as Criticism."  Seger's is probably good if
you're looking for a handbook; I'm not.  McDougal's is an okay basic text-
book.  Miller's is all right for specific movies from neglected novels, but
nothing sophisticated. Krutnik's book is great, but too specific for my
needs.

Henry Gibson played a larger-than-life cowboy actor named Manly
Quirt in early episodes of THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES.  Manly wore cowboy
boots with lifts, and did very little of his own acting, since he
was replaced by stuntmen for most scenes.  Nonetheless, he was idolized
by the Clampett clan.

I usually use keyword searches in our OPAC, but I have discovered that
on the subject of film adaptations, subject searching works better.  Try
the subject heading FILM ADAPTATIONS.  In our online catalog there are
dozens of titles under this subject heading and its subdivisions.  Two of
the most recent books on the subject are _The art of adaptation: turning
fact and fiction into film_, by Linda Seger (New York:  Holt, 1992), and
_Assault on society:  satirical literature to film_, by Donald McCaffrey
(Metuchen, NJ:  Scarecrow, 1992).  Under the subdivision CATALOGS you can
find all kinds of lists.  One of my personal favorites is _Women writers:
from page to screen_ (New York:  Garland, 1990).

This has nothing to do with Lynch but I had to use reply because
of an eMAIL problem I'm having.

Last night I met and had a nice chat with Jerome Robbins - We mostly
talked about his ballets and theatrical work, but when I mentioned
his movie work he just smiled and sort of rolled his eyes.

Meeting him was really quite trilling.

 Judy Garland also recorded all the songs for the soundtrack before leaving

To all those following the Cabana boy situation

On Jay Leno Thurday night, one of the guests who
stars in Single White Female, Peter Weber (I think)
actually did work at one time as a cabana boy.....
with Matt Dillon I think.

Subject:      Re: Movies + a "political spoiler" at the end

A friend of mine has written a book on the films of Jerry Lewis but has been
 told -- despite
raves from the reviewers the publisher sent it to -- that there is no market for
a book on Jerry Lewis films in the U.S. (my friend is from the U.K.).
Interestingly, the European distributor does not agree.  ANYWAY can anyone
suggest a potential publisher in the U.S. -- academic or commercial -- that
might be interested?

Many thanks,
Jan LT

I am assuming that Bob Roberts is a comedy?  I have come to the less than
profound conclusion that Politics is Comedy.   In a world where babies
starve and AIDS thrives, how can you not laugh at this!

The film was *definately* the first Die Hard.  I have seen the movie dozens of
times and can confirm it.  Don't know the source of the quote, though.  Sorry.
