has heard if the new cut is going to be release on Laser Disc, and
if so, when and where can you get it. PLease respond by email. Thanks.

	Hello Everybody!

	I have 2 questions concerning TV serials...

	1 - I need information on an American Serial that takes place in
Vietnam during the war. I know the Franch Title (L'Enfer du Devoir), and the
Belgian title (Comando Vietnam). I know that the main musical theme is
Paint in Black, by the Rolling Stones... The info I need is: The American
name of this serial, and where I can find the soundtrack (I think there exists
a CD with all the themes from this serial, but, I can't find it... as I don't
know the title!).

	2 - I'm looking for the soundtrack of an old (sort of) British serial,
called Space 1999, with Barbara Bain, Martin Landau... I think the theme was
composed by Barry Gray... But I can't find it in France!

	Somebody heeeeeeeeeeelp me!

	Thanks!

	Gilles.

Try finding 'When A Stranger Calls'.  Actually, I'm not positive if the
title is correct.  Can anyone help me out here?

The opening sequence, especially the end, with the babysitter alone in
a dark house getting crank calls is my choice for the most suspenceful
and scary movie scene ever.  If I remember correctly, the rest of the
film wasn't really worth watching, but the opening sequence is a
definite classic.  I saw it one night on HBO or Showtime, and there
wasn't a light on in the house.  It was a while before I got to sleep
that night.

I don't have any biographical info on him with me, although there's a short
one in the James Bond movie book of mine at home.  Movies he's been in (off
the top of my head):

The Lion in Winter
The Living Daylights  \   The two James Bond movies
License to Kill       /   he was in as Bond - natch
The Rocketeer

I'm sure he's done more, I just don't know what.

Anyone know the word on Neuromancer. The back of the book has said soon to be
a major motion picture for the last billion years. CP fans are looking forward
for it.

side note: I'm writing soundtracks and audio manipulations for a group of
non-professional movie makers. if anyone has some suggestions on where to send
scripts or the best course of action to take to advance, i would like to relay
that info. They are working on there 7th movie at the moment, they were

Hmmm ... I thought in one of the voiceovers of the original, Deckard said
something about Gaff being junior to him, and having 'just transferred in'
to the bladerunner section of the department. IMHO, Gaff does not sit in
the office all day, but Deckard prefers to work alone ...

Gaff does seem a bit jealous of Deckard, though. Perhaps Gaff was not 
considered when Holden was shot, and thus felt rebuffed?

You would think so, but read _Indecent Exposure_ by David McClintick.
It is a book about that embezzlement case.  Alan Hirschfield, the CEO
of Columbia at the time, was forced out of the company (by the board
of directors) because he insisted that David Begelman (the embezzler) 
should be fired.  The board wanted to let Begelman stay.  If I remember
correctly, Begelman was only let go when the SEC got involved.  It's
a really fascinating story, you should give that book a look.

Anyway, if Columbia would turf there CEO because he wanted to fire
an embezzler, it's not hard to believe that an actor could be
blackballed for exposing the embezzlement.

So give him a lifetime achievement award and save the Oscars for real
roles.

This sentimental BS that's been dominating the Oscar lately is
pathetic.  So what if Sean Connery and Jack Palance have been in the
business for eons, and so what if they've been overlooked by the
Academy in the past, that's no reason to screw the rest of the
nominees.  It's gotten to the point that the entertainment rags even
expect the Academy to give certain nominees (Paul Newman for example)
the Oscars just because they haven't won before and they may not get
another chance.  Please.

No, he could not.  I would not call having your fist intercepted and
being browbeaten as "going on the defensive".  He was weaker and
slower, and speed is something you do not forego on the defensive - if
you have it.  Actually, he could not compete with Roy, Zhora, and Pris
either on purely physical terms.

There is a world of difference between being stronger and faster than
average humans and being as strong as a Nexus 6.  Simply faster
reflexes would be a great help without giving anything away.  And no,
Deckard's reflexes are much too slow against Leon or Roy, or Zhora.  I
am amazed that people who find the subtlest arguments to prove their
point will blissfully ignore this not really so subtle distinction.

No, I would simply consider Gaff as moderately sarcastic.  He simply
is too far removed from the center of the action to be a basis for the
comparison between humans and replicants.

 I wanted to submit some corrections/additions to the 
 Actors List but I've lost the responsible person's

 Could someone please provide it?

 Thanks in advance.
