  At some sites this is easier said than done. Some sites don't
have the FM, or the sysadmin doesn't tell new users where it is.
Instead of telling someone to RTFM, it would be more effective to
just email them a copy of it. (imagine asking a dumb question on
the net, and discovering that two dozen people have emailed you
the man page for rn).

Books are often in disagreement with the movie. If it's in the book, it
may or may not have been an "embellishment" by the author assigned to
make a book out of the screenplay. I haven't read the book, but based on
what you say next, I suspect that it might not even be in there... ;-)

   Well, you are kind of on the right track.  From the crassly commercial
view, sell out films with a shorter running time make more money if you can
squeeze in a couple more shows.  But you are pointing your finger at the
wrong wallet.  Up to *NINETY* percent of that ticket you just paid for does
nothing for my bottom line.  Opening week ticket sales go (from a minimum
of 70% to a maximum of (this is the honest truth) 90%) almost completely
to the studio.  Where it falls in between there gets into contract negs. 
and flat user fee levels and things that would take a while to explain.
So yes, there is cash in shorter cuts of films, buit goes to the film
company not your local theatre.

   Just to give you a little bit of perspective:  Opening night of Batman.
Our top ticket price is $4.75 (yes, we are really first run) and we have
a student discount price of $3.50.  We will see about $2500 on opening
night in ticket sales.  (I anticeipate sell out within 1.25 hours.)  Of 
that amount, I will retain $250.  That won't pay the people I schedule to
sell you tickets, popcorn, find you seats and count the money.  (Now you
know why the popcorn cost you so much. :-)


P.S.  I am actually looking forward to Mr. Lee's next film, whether or not
he gets 'Malcom X' into theatres or not.  He puts out a quality film, and
he's not afraid to engage your brain.  All to rare these days.

I agree.  For a while I had been sending the text below via Email to

One, I'm sure my text below does NOT have all the answers for every

I would greatly appreciate it, if someone who has expert knowledge 
(on the different type of newsreaders) could clean up my text so that 
it would answer most relevant questions that various users would have.

S. Spencer,  Feel free to copy this text to your directory (or an 
improved version if someone helps out on above request).  Then when 
you see someone start a new threadaby eroneously using follow-up, 
simply type "r" for Email reply when you get to their article and 
include this file and them send it.  It's basically a quick way to 
help other users and all you have to do is type "r", "filename", 
and "send" -- pretty painless.  Most users I have done this for 
were happy with the info, but some had questions I couldn't 
answer -- I'm no expert.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR POSTING NEW TOPIC IN NEWGROUP

	You have submitted a follow-up article by using 
the "f" command from within rn or trn.  Judging from the 
fact that you changed the subject line and do not refer 
to a previous posting, I suspect that you wanted to do 
a *NEW* post and not a follow-up.  To post something, you 
should exit rn or trn and get back to your system prompt. 
There you should try "postnews" which will prompt you 
for the newsgroup you wish to post to and the distibution 
(USA, world, etc) that you would like the post to have 
and then you write your new post.
	This is much better than doing a follow-up, if 
you are starting a new thread.  This way, people will 
not have to wade through another uninteresting thread 
in order to get to your more interesting thread, and 
thus you will likely have a larger audience.
	Hope this helps.

There was plenty of good competition. The only problem was that none of those

Or maybe you just missed it!  Every time I see it again I pick up on some new

There are also some differences betwen the two.  In the movie Buckaroo tells
Penny that her twin sister was "Queen of the Netherlands" whereas in the
comic I belive he refers to his former wife as simply "a physicist".  Not all
that romantic when compared to the movie version of the scene.

And there are a lot of visual gags and lines in the movie that are not in the
comic.

I believe her name is Sigrid Thompson or something very close to that.
She was on that western with Lee Horsely.  She was the female banker.
(obviously not the male banker.)  I don't know of anything else that

Yes, he did make a great psycho, he'd played one before in the movie THE
FAN.  He's the ONLY thing that made NAVY SEALS watchable.

He did an American Playhouse production called "In a Shallow Grave".
While the script was slow and the other two main characters not very
well done (IMHO), Biehn did a wonderful job.  

Biehn is a very solid and reliable actor who has been typecast as both a
psycho and a hero.  From what I've seen of his acting, he deserves the
opportunity to play more diverse characters.  He's one of the few
supporting actors I've seen who consistantly make normally 1-dimensional
characters 3-dimensional (ie: NAVY SEALS, THE ABYSS, ALIENS...).

Well, I know because Paul Verhoven said so in the weekly magazine called
Entertainment Weekly (one of the March issues).  

Also concerning why I could care to figure out who the murdurer is in
Basic Instinct, the reason is because I like this movie a lot, although
many of the hints were drowned out by the fast pace of the movie, but
I did like the cinematography and the music (although repetitous at times).
I feel the evidence in the movie doesn't contradict each other and I
think this movie was a very good suspence thriller.

Concerning Sharon Stone using body doubles, Sharon Stone appeared on
Dennis Miller's talk show and when asked "I guess that your bod that
we saw, right.  You did not bring in one of those Julio Roberts body
doubles?"  Sharon Stone replied that it was her bod and she did not
use any body doubles, but maybe she was told by the producers to lie
when asked that question.
