   OK?  That movie has nothing in common with King's short story The
   Lawnmower Man, except the title.

In another posting, the Phantom pointed out that he didn't intend
"King-inspired" to refer solely to the story.  He won't reiterate the
point here.  Perhaps he should have been a tad clearer in his review;
alas, his research staff is off for the holidays and his copy editor
is waiting for a new box of crayons to arrive before she will again be
able to help the Phantom with his prose.  (Note the alarming
alliteration in the phrase "spiritless, insipid, King-inspired";
without her crayons, the Phantom's copy editor is powerless to stop
these sorts of shameless shenanigans.)

That aside, we *are* in agreement that TLM is spiritless and insipid,
are we not?

   Yeah, it's stupid, but it's certainly no worse than that movie.  Do you
   just hate Stephen King, and *look* for excuses to slam him, no caring that
   you sound like a fool?

No need to *look* for excuses, in the Phantom's opinion.  Perhaps it's
just that for every MISERY and CARRIE we get a dozen CHILDREN OF THE
CORNs.  Such films lend themselves to "slamming".

Incredible as it may seem, King is one of the Phantom's favorite
authors, and he buys each new King book with alarming regularity, just
as he finds himself in McDonald's once or twice a month for his
regular junk food fix.  King is, without a doubt, the Big Mac, large
fries, and a Coke of the horror world.

Thank you in any event for reading the Phantom's reviews, and caring
enough to vent your spleen, as it were, in such a public forum.  Every
so often the Phantom wonders to himself whether it's still worth
banging out 2000 words on dreck like SLEEPWALKERS; your posting
certainly helps answer that question...  :-)

If you mean `is BB based on a comic book?', the answer's no -- the comic
books, the records, the Saturday morning radio show -- they're all
fabricated allusions.  Part of what makes this film such a gem is how
these subtle references feed the mystique of the characters' folk-hero
status, embedded in the mass public's consciousness ...

But FYI, a 2-issue comic adaptation of the film did get published *after*
the film was released.  Good luck finding it ...

Perhaps the architects didn't intend for the prisoners to be armed with
blasters? I'm sure those cells wouldn't be much use against a blaster or

Yes.  A small flaw in the scene, but there had to be some light so the prop

I thought it was hideous, and I liked it.

Geena Davis seems to have a penchant for making the hideous likable.
She does it on purpose. What other pretty actress consistently
chooses roles like, 1) romantic interest to a fly, 2) romantic interest to
a periodically repugnant ghost, 3) goofy dog-trainer, and 4) a woman
who gets drunk, goes berserk, and plummets into the Grand Canyon?

	There are indeed two Graham Greene's.  One is the actor of
_Thunderheart_ and _Dances With Wolves_.  The other was a British author
who died recently whose novels include _The Power and the Glory_ (my
favorite book), _The Heart of the Matter_ and _The Quiet American_.
The author also wrote the screenplay for Orson Welles' _The Third Man_.

Could that be "Romauld et Juliette" (I've forgotten what they called it
in English)?  I didn't see it, but it was playing at a theater where I
worked, and seemed to be about a yuppie-type who gets involved with an
office cleaning-lady (class difference, racial difference).  It looked

Not exactly sure.  The important thing you're supposed to get from
the inscription is that this gun is over 100 years old...implying that

I just saw "Barton Fink", my second Coen Brothers movie (I saw "Miller's
Crossing" about a year ago). Based on these two films, I would have to
say that they are going to end up with an astonishing body of work. I'm
not quite sure what other movies they have made, or what and when the
next one will be. But I noticed a couple of shared motifs in the two
I have seen, and wondered if they appear in any of their other films.

One was the "Life of the Mind" scene in Barton Fink, where John Goodman
chases two L.A. homicide detectives down a burning hallway with a shotgun.
This was obviously referent to the "Danny Boy" sequence in "Miller's Crossing"
where Albert Finney survives an attempted hit as his house burns down. Both
were among the most vividly directed sequences I have ever seen.

Secondly, the "head in a hatbox" motif in "Barton Fink" seemed reminiscent
of the "losing me hat" dream in "Miller's Crossing."

These guys may be doing the best work in American film. Although I liked
"Another Woman" enormously, I am not sure Woody Allen is not falling into
self-induldgence bordering on self-parody.

Not entirely true. In the book, Lecter did not go after Chilton immediately.
He simply wrote Starling to let her know he would later be doing so. (In the
movie, this was translated into a more suspensful phone call).

It also goes on to explain that Lecter had long ago planned for his capture,
during the time he was committing his crimes, and had thus also planned for
his eventual escape (if indeed it did happen).

Part of this 'plan' was an unspecified amount of money hidden in an area in
the tropics I can't remeber being specified (the book's out on loan...<sigh>).

The way the book talks, Lectur had amazing foresight. Planning everything
about your escape before even the possibility of being caught arose -
pretty clever stuff.

Darren

his victims and not his mom.  Also, how can he make himself and his car disappear?  Also, when
he disappears for the first time, he yells at the cat and the cop doesn't hear him, but later
on, his mother tells him to be quiet when they disappear so that the cops won`t hear him.  It
doesn`t make sense.  How can he morph the car???  I guess they (the producers) wanted to show
off some more morphing to help sell the movie.

Besides leaving out some important tidbits of info, the script is very weak and reminded me
a lot of the 1981 remake of "Cat People".  Remember, in it, incest between brother and sister
was shown.  In "Sleepwalkers" it's between Mom and Son.  Plus, both movies deal with people
turning into felines.

Well, got to get back to work.  Later
