Huh? I think you have a unintelligently reductive opinion of ``special

Yes, it's the same Stephen Rea.

And, Yes, THE CRYING GAME is noe of the Best Pictures of the year, as the
National Society of Film Critics has noted [Best Picture, Actor, Supporting

The Crying Game has grossed $4.4 million, $1.2 million last weekend on 118
screens, over $10K per screen.

In showing the boxed set of Alien for a class I am teaching on the subject,
I got to see the footage (11 mins.) that was cut out shortly before the
theatrical release.  The stuff was interesting, and those who read the
Alan Dean Foster novelization might think that some of it was in the movie
that wasn't, like the scene where Ash lies about the egg in Cain's stomach,
describing it as a malfunction of the sensor.  The most talked about cut
is the scene where Ripley finds Brett and Dallas cocooned up and Dallas
says, "Kill me".  That scene has an implication that I never understood
before: Dallas and Brett are actually being transformed into eggs in this
early understanding of the alien's life cycle (according to H.R. Giger's
concept). It's a good thing for Cameron and producer Gail Anne  Hurd that
this scene was cut, because when they got the idea for the mother Alien
in the second film, it was not contradicted by this scene.

Other cuts reveal that Lambert is the character whose screen time was
reduced the most.  There is a scene where she screams at Ripley because
Ripley wanted to leave them outside the ship and preserve quarantine.  Then
they have sort of a reconciliation.  Also there is a scene where Parker
almost gets the Alien out a airlock; it loses a limb in the process and
there is some depressurization because its bleeding.

Anyway, Alien fans would love this stuff.  I have yet to see the extended
Aliens in which nearly 20 min of footage is restored and with full post-
production into the film, including Ripley's daughter, Newt's family, and
several action oriented sequences.  Anyone wanting to know about these
scenes can mail me, as the box set comes with a full list of additions.
Cameron mentions that he was grateful to Fox for releasing the theatrical
version at 17 min. over the magic 2 hr. mark, but that on video it's
beneficial to add another 20 min.

Yeah, I enjoyed it as well.  I really liked the performance by the main
villian (I can't remember the actor's name).  He is the same guy who
plays on the tv show "Hearts of Fire".  Talk about completely opposite

Did anyone else notice when they saw HOFFA...

   1.  The audience cracking up/giggling when DeVito's character was
       making out on the bed with that dumb-sexy blonde?
      
       I kinda felt sorry for Danny having everyone laugh at him,
       but it was funny seeing the guy kiss this girl...like everyone
       was thinking, "Yeah, only in your dreams (or movies!) Danny-boy!"


   2.  That DeVito LOVES the "I'd like to be a HIP/COOL/ARTSY director"
       shots, like doing from-the-ceiling shots of scenes which gain
       nothing from them, for instance when he enters a nightclub to meet with
       Armand Assante's character?

       I found his direction distracting and trying way too hard.

   3.  That the credits-at-the-end choice is happening more & more, like
       also with 'The End' at the end of some new movies, picking up
       on when it was done way back when?
       (At least it gets more people staying to watch the credits!)

   4.  That this movie was just OK?  I didn't learn a thing about Hoffa,
       except that he liked to make big, grand speeches in front of
       big, grand crowds, consisting of big, muscled working stiffs.

About six years ago, I say this movie on T.V. about a military academy.
The plot was, a group of students, known as "THE TEN", were terrorizing
a couple of new cadets, to the point that one killed himself.  A smaller
group of good cadets were out to stop them, but ran up against the commanding
officer, who seemed to support the Ten, at least unofficially.
 The Ten even framed one of the good cadets and got him kicked out of school.
I didn't see the end, and I can't remember the name of the movie so I can 
try to rent it and find out what happened.  If you know the name of this
film e-mail me the answer and also if you know if it is available on video.

I must defend myself here...

Yes, Gone with the Wind and its brethren made beaucoup bucks. I made an 
inaccurate generalization. None of the 3-hour-plus movies made in the last
20 years or so have been box office smashes, however. A brief rebuttal:

Dances With Wolves: did well, but certainly not near any records.

The Right Stuff: most certainly did NOT do well. Did "shockingly"
poorly, in fact. Tri-Star went bankrupt due to box office "hits"
like this one.

Heaven's Gate: ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Possibly the greatest flop in
movie _history_ and you give it as evidence to the contrary?!
This is the movie that gave rise to DWW's working name, when
Costner was crazily running around and going over budget:
"Kevin's Gate". Nobody went to see this. Trust me.

Note: I am most definitely not making any claims as to movie
_quality_. Just receipts.

Note: Looking back at Jim Perkowski's titles, he may have been
using sarcasm. If so, I take everything back. If not, <inhale>

I first saw the movie a few years back at the local rep theatre. Luckily, the
theatre had a fairly large screen and good sound, so it was a real treat. I had
absolutely no idea that the movie would be so surreal - it was a do-nothing
Sunday and Dr. Seuss was the only interesting option available. :^)

I rented it on video last year, but it doesnt compare - you definitely have to
see it in the theatre. A big theatre with great sound, preferably.

Yes! That was fabulous. All to Wagner music, as I recall. Fantastic stuff.

Another sequence that I really liked - when the kid is running away from the
guards and starts climbing up that ladder, and eventually gets to the end of
the ladder, which is in the clouds...  The two rollerskaters attached by the
beard was neat too.

What you ignore is that the media is very careful to avoid giving
offense to groups that can cause trouble, and that this causes a great
deal of hatred to be focused on relatively powerless groups.  The stink
Charlie Chaplin caused with a single kick to the backside of an
immigration official in one of his films (documented in the new
Attenborough film) is typical; J. Edgar Hoover never forgave Chaplin for
this slight.  Whereas Bosnian Muslims, who in the context of their
holocaust at the hands of Serbia might be understandably outraged at
Coppola's rehabilitation of an East European Turk fighter, have little
power in the West, as to do gypsies, who as Michael has pointed out are
also offensively treated in the film.  Coppola makes a joke out of
calling someone a "fascist" in Gardens of Stone, but Coppola's films are
themselves Fascist.
