Subject:      Blame it on the Bellboy

I just say "Blame it on the Bellboy".  I was expecting it to be pretty
bland, but I was very pleasantly surprised.  It is a bit of a stretch
to believe, but it is supposed to be.  I actually liked Patty Kensit.
I thought the character she played was hilarious.  Dudely Moore made
me laugh for the first time.  It is a great little comedy. OOPS, that is
supposed to be "I just saw" in the first line.
A friend told me this was a British film.  I barely remember it being
in American theaters.  Are there any other recent British releases
as entertaning as this?

Yes,

   "P.S. I Love You" was written by Johnny Mercer (Lyrics) and Gordon Jenkins
(Music).  It was copyrighted in 1934 by LaSalle Music Publishers, Inc.. The
copyright was renewed in 1961 by Warner Brothers Music Corp. & MCA Music.

Those are the publishing copyrights,  I don't know about the various recording
copyrights.

   This list, RASI-L contains the contents of the Usenet newsgroup
   rec.arts.startrek.info, a newsgroup dedicated to the dissemination of
   information about Star Trek.

   This list is intended to be for those on networks connected to
   internet via gateways, etc.  (this includes fidonet, the .UUCP
   domain, BITNET, etc.) who do not have access to the Usenet newsgroup
   rec.arts.startrek.info.  This is a one-way gateway, from news to
   mail.  Postings sent to the list RASI-L will NOT be gatewayed into
   the usenet newsgroup rec.arts.startrek.info, but will instead be
   redistributed to the list, and never make the newsgroup.  It is also
   imperative that you not reply to this list.  If you reply to the
   list, the reply will go to the root account, and I will be rather
   annoyed if this happens, as my address is root@ncc1701e.uucp.

   There are two addresses that are available for the
   rec.arts.startrek.info newsgroup, one is trek-info@scam.berkeley.edu,
   the other is trek-info-request@scam.berkeley.edu.  These addresses
   will appear at the bottom of each posting approved by the moderator,
   Jim Griffith, "the official scapegoat for rec.arts.startrek.info".
   If you have questions about the operation of the newsgroup, send mail
   to the -request address (currently trek-info-request@
   scam.berkeley.edu) and he will be happy to answer them.  If you have
   questions about the list, send them to me, the_sage@ncc1701e.uucp (if
   your host does not recognize the .uucp domain, try
   the_sage%ncc1701e.uucp@clout.chi.il.us) or root@ncc1701e.uucp (or
   root%ncc1701e.uucp@clout.chi.il.us) and I should get the mail.

   You may leave the list RASI-L at any time by sending a "SIGNOFF rasi-l"

   must NOT be sent to the list address (rasi-l@ncc1701e.uucp) nor the
   moderator's addresses (trek-info@scam.berkeley.edu nor

   server (listserv@ncc1701e.uucp) which handles this mailing list.

   Please note that it is presently possible for anybody to determine
   that you are signed up to the list through the use of the "REVIEW

I saw it the other night and really liked it, really liked the relationship
between the two brothers and the musical sequences were incredible! But it
did seem to stop a little short. I wondered the same thing, was the book
different? It was well worth seeing but the story seemed a little abrupt
and I figured the book went into a lot more depth.

But Armand Assante didn't do much for me :-)

In reference to the comment about the CIA and the FBI always trying
to shoot each other, one of the things I loved about Sandbaggers (a
British TV spy series) was that the British and English spies had
a relationship that I think is probably more true to life.  The
characters at the operational level (as opposed to the administrative
and political levels) had a wary but cooperative relationship and many
of the plot lines depended on information one got from the other.

     Apparently, the NYT speaks of "Miss" Subiela--Eliseo must have reminded
them of Elise.  This is Subiela's fourth feature film; his second one,
_Man Facing Southeast_, was unusually well received in the U.S.  I hope
the Montreal Festival will enable this film to get distributed here too.  I
saw it in Buenos Aires this summer and thought it the best work the director
has done to date.

and _not_ to the list.

I'll post the answers in a week or two.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ``What I Really Want to do is Direct'' Quiz.

Woody, Warren and Clint do it.  Olivier did it.  Even Peter Sellers had a
go -- unfortunately.  Simply name the stars below who've taken a trip
_behind_ the camera, _and_ the film they created:-

1. The Duke who did what he had to do with a famous fort siege.

2. The blue-eyed singer-actor who became a singer-actor-director with
   his solid World War II drama.

3. The logical Science Officer who directed his colleagues' search for
   his own good self.

4. The Method One who took charge of an intense revenge western with a
   double-entendre name.

5. The prize athletic hoofer who directed Streisand as the singing
   matchmaker of a Broadway smash.

6. The great Sir Finky who made his directorial debut with a satirical
   anti-war musical.

7. The King of the Ring who wisely stayed behind the camera while John
   Travolta reprised the role of Tony Manero.

8. The one-time baby-faced 30s crooner who helmed one of the classic
   submarine movies.

9. Zorba's one directorial assignment (for father-in-law C. B. De Mille)
   was a historical swashbuckler starring Yul Brynner and Charlton Heston.

10.The weedy British heartthrob who went from Gone With the Wind to
   helming a wartime morale booster update of The Scarlet Pimpernel.

And that's it.

Remember, name the star turned director _AND_ the film, and send your
answers to me.  Good luck...

Subject:      STAR-TREK

Whatever about the themes that Star Trek embraces,
the Next Generation just doesn't measure up to it's
predecessor on two counts; the personalities and the
stories.
 The crew of the Enterprise (in the Next Generation)
are just too perfect, too politically correct. None
of the main characters suffer from self-doubt, anger
or (worst of all) a sense of humour. Picard is totally
wooden. Cap'n Riker could have potential but he get's
little to do in many episodes. The efforts of Data to
understand human ways is merely a re-run of Spock's
gradual transition from emotionless Vulcan to almost
emotionless Vulcan. There aren't even Klingons to hate
anymore. With the Cold War gone, the only bad guys are
Romulans or other third-rate breed. No match for
Federation fire-power. The mother and son pair are
awful, and as for an on-board therapist, aaaaaarrrgghhh!!!
                  But the real let-down are the stories.
The old stories were true science-fiction, exploring ideas
and reflecting the theories of the day. The Next Generation
spend all their time trying to get in touch with their
feelings instead of new life-forms. The Next Generation
,IMO, merely uses a science-fiction setting to show the
same old human-interest stuff that we could see in any
weekly show.

Take it easy, Mike.  We're just having a little fun here.  No one's
accusing you of censorship.  The coincidence of Peter's removal from the
list and the timing of his lastest post was simply too amusing to
ignore.  For what it's worth, I think you're doing a good job with the
list.

Yep, you're in the minority.

Eugene,

>Folks, stay away from this one.  This is one never-ending movie!

  THAT'S the truth!  I thought it would never end.  There were some nice
moments, reminiscent of Hitchcock, but for the most part it kept winding
up -- and going on!  I still can't figure out what purpose Uma Thurman's
part served.  She was merely a convenient puzzle piece.

   We also rented "Love Crimes" this weekend and that was yet another movie
that wasn't sure which way it was going.  Patrick Bergin was excellent as
usual, but even his character suddenly shifted in midstream.  Suddenly this
rapist was sympathetic and then as suddenly he wasn't.  And, frankly, I got
real tired of looking at Sean Young's body.
