I will attempt to explain the last ten minutes of Barton Fink.  Being a film
major I think that maybe I have some authority.  The end of the film is
supposed to show just how scummy Hollywood really is.  The producer does not
care who the writer is.  He just wants a hit movie.  I think the whole movie
is summed up in the last two lines when Barton is on the beach and he asks
the girl if she is in the movies after he observes how beautiful she is.
She reply's Of course not.  I took these lines to mean that there are
actually no beautiful people in Hollywood.  Hope this helps you.  Please do
not respond by e-mail, I am using a friends account.

Yeah, I rented it this past friday and this is indeed true. Wayne just
plays some generic riff. Plant/Page must have wanted some ungodly sum
of money to allow Wayne to play those 5(?) notes.
Also, I found out I missed a bit of the movie, since the person I saw
it with in the theatre is a jumper: One who Pavlovianly jumps up and
heads for the exit at the first sign of the credits.

Has anyone out there seen trailers for the Chaplin biopic due out in
December? Does the film seem destined for box-office smashdom or
flopdom? As far as I know, the casting is as follows: Geraldine
Chaplin -- Hannah Chaplin, Charlie's mother; Robert Downey Jr.
-- Charlie Chaplin; Moira Kelly -- Oona O'Neill Chaplin; Kevin
Kline -- Douglas Fairbanks Sr.; Dan Aykroyd -- Mack Sennett. 
Anthony Hopkins is in it too, I believe, but I don't know what his
role is: is he Chaplin's brother Sydney, Chaplin's manager Alf
Reeves, or is he going to have the meatiest role available, that of
Chaplin's divorce lawyer?

An almost interesting sidenote: Chaplin actually shuddered at the 
thought that someone would want to do a filmed story of his life
(perhaps he saw what Donald O'Connor did to Buster Keaton in the 
colossally miscast "Buster Keaton Story).  "I can just see it,"
Chaplin said, "they'll have me going back to see my mother, saying 
'I've made it big, mother!"

Another question: There's been talk of using actual Chaplin film
footage in the flick.  While this could potentially open a big
can of worms of "authenticity" as a production value, I'll just
sidestep that and ask if they're really going to do it, instead of 
having Downey falter through re-creations of Chaplin's funniest
bits.

Western plots have been pretty well picked over by now.  But the movie did
break some new thematic ground: the role of the Western writer in defining
the "west", for example.  The horror of killing is an atypical subject, at least
hammered home as reletlessly as it was in this movie.  Yes, the theme of the
gunfighter who's hung up his guns has been done once or twice before.  But
the canonical plot usually involves the gunfighter being pushed beyond the
breaking point by his antagonists; the gunfighter "justly"and unwillingly 
returns to his guns to protect the town or his life.  Munny just needs the
cash.  

The people gunned down in the conventional western are usually archtypes:
no-good outlaw, innocent victim killed by aforesaid no-good outlaw, generic
evil lackey of the big ranch owner, etc.  You feel that the bad guys are a little less than
human when they get shot by the righteous, put-upon good guy, who's seen
too much to bear any longer.  They're killed lightly; you feel that they've got
it coming, that it's good that just got shot, maybe even smile at the  justice of the 
act.  I wasn't genuinely happy to see any of the characters in Unforgiven get
killed.  Not even the cowboy who cut up the girl, shot while pleading
for his life.

But the characters WERE interesting.  Little Bill was great.  He's violent
and can be a mean bastard, but he's not the sort of diposable character
that we feel can be just gunned down out of a need for "justice" or revenge
by the gunfighter.  He was trying to keep the peace in the town, at least by
his rather flawed lights.  One of the cowboys was a decent kid who screwed
up and tried to make amends; he was killed anyway, shot in the gut and left
to die.  

As Little Bill says, "I don't deserve this."  Munny replies, "deserving's
got nothing to do with it."

The movie you refer to is "Funny Face", but I think that Fred Astaire
was due to star in it from the start.  The movie in which Astaire
replaced Gene Kelly at the last moment due to Kelly being injured (and for
which Astaire came out of retirement) was "Easter Parade" with Judy Garland.

The track I heard in the theater was definitely Stairway, however it was
very short -- less than one bar if I'm not mistaken. Somewhere in the back
of my mind I have an idea that the copyright law states that using less than
one or two bars of a tune is allowed. Perhaps they put it in the film
relying on that provision, but, given that they IDENTIFIED it as Stairway,
whoever owns the copyright threatened suit. A reasonable settlement would
have been some token montary award for the film, and a guarantee that it would
be replaced in future releases; i. e. new prints of the film or transfers
to other media like video.

Not. I find his range to be really limited. He was very difficult to watch

Plus, there are films that are genuinely helped by colorization - the
first Topper movie (with Cary Grant) comes to mind. This is a great 
flick and colorization makes it more enjoyable to watch, not to mention
that many people would just ignore it if it stayed in black and white.
