The film was completed months ago, and has already been premiered at the
Tokyo International Film Festival. It was received very well, although
some fans I have spoken with say that GOJIRA VS KINGU GIDORA was a little
better. The film opens in Japan on Dec. 12th.

Spoilers? A synopsis? Here's what I know so far:

A Japanese corporation developing Infant Island discovers a tremendous egg,
and makes plans to ship the egg to Japan for study and exploitation.
During the voyage to Japan, Godzilla intercepts the ship and destroys the
egg. Mothra hatches and does battle with Godzilla, but is badly hurt by 
him. Battra, a "battle Mothra," appears and does battle with Godzilla, and
Mothra retreats to Infant Island. The battle between Godzilla and Battra
takes place at the bottom of the ocean. The cosmos - previously called
the fairies, or the peanuts - are taken to Tokyo, and Mothra attempts to
retrieve them. While in Tokyo, Mothra constructs a cocoon around the
Diet building. Godzilla wreaks havoc in Yokohama, and Mothra and Battra,
now both in their adult forms, go there in one last attempt to defeat him.

That's all I know so far. I probably won't find out much more until I
actually see the film for myself in December.

By the way, this week's issue of VARIETY (Nov. 9 edition) has a big
feature celebrating Toho's 60th anniversary.

This is your typical teen flic - summer camp caretaker is accidently
burnt by teenagers at the camp. He comes back to take his revenge
on teens - killing them one by one. The only reason I went to see it
was because Rick Wakeman, keyboardist for the band Yes, did the 
soundtrack. Neither the picture nor soundtrack were anything special
in my opinion. I don't even remember it being particularly graphic
so I wonder why it was banned. I saw it in the theatre on a double
bill with DePalma's Dressed to Kill.

I have heard the title "Future Cop', but the film is found on tape here,
under "Trancers". It's fun, I'd have to say that it is clooser to
"Terminator" than "BR", but that is personal taste.
Good job by Tim Thomerson in the lead role, and they have a lot of 
fun with their premise, that one might even be tempted to call
whimsical.
As for its cult status, there is a bit of a Thomerson cult, and I think
that it qualifies for the status.
Fun movie.
The sequel is, as expected and unfortunately, not as good, but I heard]
somethng about a "Trancers 3" being in the works.

>daniel  

  Well, Mr. Read, I don't wanna _argue_ that point -- we stainless steel
folk don't do flamewars -- but I'm perfectly willing to _debate_ it.
  I would suggest that it IS possible to be _too_ sensitive during certain
films, and I can attest to this due to the lessons imparted unto me by
that twisted, warped, cold-hearted bitch of a schoolmistress, Experience.
  My own personal approach to films is that I attempt to accept a given
film on its own terms as much as I can, and I sort of "open up" to a film
in this regard -- I try to forget all word of mouth, all preconceptions,
and relax. I want to be seduced. It's like being a leaf and unfolding for
the spring and summer months. The problem is that a leaf absorbs everything
that it comes in contact with -- including things that might kill it.
  On one hand, after a reall COOL film I'm as high as a kite. On the 
other hand, I will sometimes drive my friends crazy when they go see a 
film with me, because during something really execrable (_Housesitter_
and _Little Nemo_, a couple recent examples, come to mind) I will 
literally squirm in my seat. I will flinch. I will cover my face with my
hands at a particularly ill-handled scene or an especially cliched plot
point. I will sigh disgustedly. Worst of all, this is often so automatic
during a really _painful_ film that I won't even be aware that I'm doing it. One fellow I know has
sometimes refused to talk to me for the rest of the evening because I
spoiled the film for him, even though I uttered nary a sound. (Yes, I 
used to _moan_, too!) 
  In addition, I would further suggest that that to which Monsieur Judex is 
referring by "overly sensitive" is the unfortunate habit of some movie
critics of having to prove what geniuses they are by reading DEEP and 
MEANINGFUL themes about life, the universe, and everything into certain
films. Even though I myself am a _Film Comment_ subscriber and advocate,
it _is_ sometimes rather irritating to see these sorts of creatures
project a suit of the emperor's new clothes onto films that are foreign-made
but merely incoherent (_The Seventh Seal_, _The Virgin Spring_, _Weekend_,
etc.). Isn't it shameful how so many Humanities Department professors treat
you like an idiot if you haven't mastered this technique? *Sigh*...

I don't particularly care for these films ... I think there are a lot
more films out there that deserve my attention ... but I don't like
censorship either since I'm a responsible person who can distinguish
reality and the cinema.  I would worry, however, about those people
who view these cannibal films and are NOT shocked.

NOT!
 
The gore in CANNIBAL FEROX (shown uncut here in the US under the
title MAKE THEM DIE SLOWLY) is SO phony and unconvincing, and the
characters are so despicable that it hardly has the impact of the
FIRST gore scene in CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST.  I still caution that
CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST's violence LOOKS so incredibly real ... perhaps
it's the cinema-verite style of filmmaking that makes this film
so shocking.
