I think we all agree that "Darkman" was just a movie. No one has said
it was something other than a movie. What most of us are complaining about
is that it was just a bad movie. Bad, recall, is the opposite of good and
usually attracts more complaints than compliments.

close.  it's the "fell's point diner."  and according to a baltimorian
i know, it's a real place.  i don't think they did ever refer to it by
name, but you could see the sign in some of the outdoor shots.

I agree with the opinion above, and I believ there will probably be a T-3.
However, I don't know what the plot line will be, and I doubt anything I suggest
will actually be used.  One thing I noticed about T2 was the lack of
reality in dealing with the computer programs etc...

Hasn't anyone heard of off-site tape backups?  So the building was destroyed,
the head-scientists computer destroyed and all the data gone.  I doubt it,
a firm will have backups of what the scientists were working on, and have
them offsite.  To valuable to not do this.   It shouldn't take them long to
restore to a slightly previous version and start up again.

Her name is Sigrid Thornton (sp) and shes from Australia.
She did a lot of telivision stuff out here  ( the mini series

Pick one:

1)

T-1000 was severly damaged at that point in the movie, thus making it hard
for him to emulate Sarah's voice 100%.

2)

Another reason for not killing Sarah is that T-1000 couldn't lend a feeling
to his voice emulation, so he needed Sarah to produce a motherly voice.

"Call John".  He needed Sarah to call John in a convincing way.

3)

He didn't have to kill Sarah, it would have been pointless (see below).

Hm, I didn't like Demme's speech, but I wouldn't say that only a skilled

I don't think it exists.  From memory of skimming a book on the Wizard of Oz
and the 50th anniversary tape, most cut scenes were lost.  Some cuts involved
scenes with the witch that scared kids.

The only two scenes not in the movie that I've seen were on the 50th anniv.
tape: (1) an extended "if I only had a brain" dance by the scarecrow, where
      he bounces off rubber fence rails, stands on a rolling pumpkin, and 
      then a piece is run in reverse.  This piece of film was only recently
      rediscovered.
      (2) some b&w homemovies taken from offstage of a rehersal of a dance
      in the forest called "the jitterbug".  As this has become dated with
      time, it is probably better that it was cut.

Oh yes please, lets talk a bit about the movie instead of going on
about who behaved how, when and where (does it matter, really?) 

I would like to hear opinions about _The Prince of Tides_ compared to
the book. I read it 10 months ago and watched the movie six weeks ago,
and I remembered the book very well.
I reckon the `filmatization' (is that a word I just made up, or can
you actually say something like that? You can in danish; I just
translated it.. ;-) is quite good -- and fair -- covering the whole
written story would have made the movie a ten-hour-one... (I don't
think TPoT neccesarily should have had the Best Picture-title, though;
that's not what I want to discuss here..) There are some points at
which I disagreee with the rewriting of the story. Here are a couple
of the most important: The rape should not have been emphasized *so*
much compared to the death of Luke. In the book, loosing the older
brother naturally meant *even* more to Tom and Savannah... Also,
letting the children be app. 6 years younger when the rape took place
in the movie than in the book didn't make sense. It's as if the rest
of their childhood wasn't that bad (with respect to Savannahs illness,
f.ex.) -- in the book it was!
Well, anybody got an opinion about this?

Watch that scene again closely.  I used to think it was a blooper, too,
but right in the middle there is a through-the-windsheld shot in which
the car clearly tips from one side to the other.  If I remember correctly,
the shot that shows the alley before the car tips briefly shows the area
where the switch-tip needed to happen.
