I believe it may have been Barbara LaMarr.  Perhaps Virginia Rappe or

English Bob dead would have been an even more powerful discouragement,

once he was out of town.

The parallels to today still seem quite strong to me.

Well, I have to agree with the above assessment ... It's not worth watching.

     A little while ago, a gentleman here was asking about "Dr.

     was before he changed it to English.  "A Kraut by any other

     A friend of mine is a film teacher who uses "Dr. Strangelove" as
     part of his class, and I asked him this question.  His reply:

It was "Merkwurdigichliebe" with an umlaut (..) over the u.  I believe
that is literally "Strangelove" in German.

Wrong!  Removing the hue from a colorized film isn't the same as
seeing the original black and white.  Colorizing does more than
add color, it changes the luminence (spelling?) of the image.  
Removing the color doesn't restore the original image.

The only benefit of colorization is that in order to colorize a film
they first need a high quality black and white negative.  So a 
side effect of colorizing a movie is that they go out and find (or 
restore) a high quality negative that can then be used to produce
great looking black and white prints.

I love seeing movies on opening day, not for the sense of accomplishment,
or to feel superior because 'I saw it and you didn't' but because,
depending on the movie, the crowd's are great at premieres, really
pumped and are real fans to endure the crowds on opening day. Sneak
previews are the best, the kind that are at 10:00pm the night before the
opening, even more die-hard fans in those crowds.  The past 3 previews
I've been to I've always seen the same people and start to chat with them
about the movie or whatever, and in the case of the 'Terminator 2'
night-before-opening preview, we were in line for 6 hours playing a
trivia game that some guy had brought to the line-up with 10 other people.

(Oh, we were the first in line because we wanted these great seats in the
theatre, hence the 6-hour wait.  5 hours before the movie, there were
25 people in line..., for the 'Batman Returns' 10:00am preview, I had to
call my boss from the lobby of the movie theatre, since I managed to
talk my way into the theatre, because my boss thought I was still on a
coffee break !! ;) )

In total, since about 'The Empire Strikes Back', I estimate I've been in
line for about 10 days non-stop... not too outrageous compared to how long
people line up to get tickets to a concert...

If you really like a movie, or are eager to see something that is rumoured
to be a good film, and if you can handle the crowds and excitment, go on 
a preview or opening night, your enjoyment will almost double...

Don't forget the fantastic shot of troops attacking and moving on the

	As to the back to the basic spirit.  The casting of Oldman is
correct, in the sense that Dracula is a old the first time we saw him in
the book, and rejuvinated during the entire book.  Thus casting a young
actor is accurate.

I haven't seen this movie yet, but I have every intention of doing so.
It is currently playing here in Champaign-Urbana, IL at the New Art Theatre

And no, I don't work there.  I just have a keen interest on keeping

I am not aware of this one.  What is it about?  Am I correct in assuming
that this is in Japanese?  There was a movie on Cinemax called simply
"Ghost Train" which was about immigrants view of the US.  (Unfortunately,
I did not manage to see all of it.  Maybe I will hire it out on video.)
