Depends on the price. I would definately recommend it more to Lynch fans,
than Frank Herbert fans <although Herbert was reportedly quite happy with the  
longer, directors cut>. 
How does it compare to other Lynch films? It was his first in color, and he
almost goes overboard with it. His obsessions are prominently displayed,
as is Kyle McLachlan. There is a lot of plot, and to cram it all into
the running time, the film never stops for air. Pay very close attention,
or you will be lost. Helops to read the book, so you can pay more
attention to the imagery. The sandworms look great and the effects are
very good. Acting is erratic, but I think this is about the  best anyone
could've hoped for. As a Lynch film I rate it as a lesser effort, but it
is worth seeing, and owning. <I have it myself, but I taped it off cable>.
Don't be fooled by the TV cut which claims a longer running time. INstead
of some of the effects sequences we heard about before the film was 
trimmed by the studio, we get EXTRA narration. AARRGHH! I still want to
see the Sandworm breeding pit!

I really enjoyed "The Stalker". I watched it in one of my very last film
classes, and thought it was very well done. Very dark, excellent 
cinematography, and fantastic use of water throughout the movie. In fact,
I wrote a paper centered on Tarkovsky's use of water and the sounds of
water in "The Stalker".
	I especially liked the way the viewer is never quite sure what is
"real" about the zone, and what is made up by the Stalker to impress his
clients. He keeps talking about all the strange, impossible things that
happen in the Zone, but we never see them... then we start to see them, but
a few seconds after we do, we're not so sure WHAT we just saw. Or if we
saw/heard anything at all. Great film. I'll try to find "Solaris", too.

They already are. They consist of lots of small pellets in a plastic
matrix, which disintegrates when it hits something. But: the one
maker I know of, makes them in three flavours <5m, 5-10m, >10m, which
makes them useful mostly for use inside small structures, like aircraft.

More sensible would be to make the domes of plastic which doesn't shatter
when hit. That way you'd get a small hole, which will whistle some, but
not be an urgent problem at all.

   I have watched  this film many a time, and apart from the very tacky
   Disco crucifixion, I think it holds up quite well.
   Ted Neely as Jesus is an acquired taste. They turned down Ian Gillan 
   from Deep Purple, and gave it to Neely, a Texas Bar band singer who has
   since returned to obscurity. Gillan can be heard on the London production
   soundtrack, which seems to be much easier to find than that of the movie.
   Good film, but I still prefer the book...

_The Last Temptation of Christ_?

Personally, I prefer the songs:

``The Naz'' - a song derived from Lord Buckley's hypsomatic routine,
	``The Naz''
``Disco Jesus'' - play this for Pat Robertson and he'll have a
	coronary.  (It, too has a disco crucifixion: ``You oughta see
	him do the hustle/Up on that funky cross.'')

-30-

``When Jesus goes to disco
  There's nothing that he lacks.
  You oughta see his golden coke spoon
  and his skin-tight bulging slack.
  Dance, dance, disco Jesus.''

I believe Ed mentioned EUROPEAN TRASH CINEMA.
 
Here's some info.
 
It is very different than ASIAN TRASH CINEMA in that it features
interviews, filmographies, detailed anaylses (not too detailed)
of European films whereas ATC is basically a compilation of film
reviews.  I realize there is only one ATC published, and I don't
know if the format will change in future issues to match European
Trash Cinema's.
 
Apparently, there are many issues of ETC.  I recently stumbled upon
the magazine at Psychotronic Video in NYC and have purchased just two
issues.  The cover of the latest says (if I can recall properly)
Vol. 2 Issue 15.
 
The two magazines I have discuss films by Jess Franco, actresses like
Barbara Bouchet and Rosalba Neri.  One of them even mentions one of
my personal favorite films, AMUCK! (also known as MANIAC MANSION)
which I thought was a forgotten film, and includes stills from it!
 
The latest issue is a new larger size.  If you like strange
European Cinema, this mag is for you.

When adding to list, please state which standards (ie.NTSC/PAL-M/PAL-N/SECAM)
each outlet is able to offer. That way each and every European doesn't have
to write to the mail-order places in US to ask that and vice versa.

Possibly it would be suitable to keep different lists according to what

In regards to the Cincy Mapplethorpe exhibit, I believe that the charges
were eventually dismissed.  It has had the negative effect of artists
self-censoring their work before it is displayed in Cincy (even though they
may eventually get any charges dismissed, artists can run up a nasty legal
bill in the process).
 
On a related note, I read several months ago that a group of Cincy video
store owners were banding together to file a suit in federal court against
the groups that keep filing pornography lawsuits against them.  The
article indicated that the lawsuits keep getting dismissed, and the
groups just refile them to harass the video store owners and run up their
legal fees.

Well i begin to wonder if this is not a clear case of the very "American"
wip-lash against the imposed moral values that the fans place on the stars,
without regard to the pitfalls that affect all human beings - regardless of
their status ... remember hollywood stars seem to be placed on this
holier-than-thou moral plane that says thou shalt not do anything that may
affect the views of the majority that have type-casted your personality and
imposed role-model-status apon you.

Basically [sorry to use this crass piece of english] this is shit [and that]

The typical excuse for this behavour is that if these people choose to be
famous then their private lives are fair game, after all they get pay heaps
... and we all know that money can fix anything and everything [Americanism
verging on a form of religion].

Once again this argument is absurd ... fame is fleeting, and choosing fame is
a rather moot point. When it comes down to the crunch the person on the street
would be none to comfortable if his/her life was smeared all over the tabloids
[even if they had some money].

So i think the lives of the stars are their own, and if the scandles of other
people's lives gets you off the i suggest you look at your own pathetic life!

Although the story is a little different, I think "Stalker" by the
russian director Andrej Tarkovskij is what you are talking about.
Its about an illegal expedition of into The Zone, where laws of
physics and logic have somehow been distorted. In the middle of
The Zone there is a mythical room, in which your hearts deepest
wish will be fulfilled.

Like most Tarkovskij movies rather subtle, silent, ambigious ... etc.

Sad enough, I havent yet seen a commercial video release here in
Germany (which doesnt say too much). But Tarkovskij has reached
cult.director status (now hes dead), so if you manage to meet
some real cineasts (tm), theyll surely be able to help you on.

Btw, if you liked "The Stalker", youll enjoy "Solaris" by A.T., too.
