   I can't confirm or deny your Faith Ford knowledge above. I can only add
that she plays Corky on Murphy Brown. Is good friends with Jane "THROB"

I don't believe this is true.  Gere did have a part in the film as one of
her pickups, and he was a little strange, but he was not the guy at the
end who kills Diane Keaton.  They were two separate parts.

No....

Gere gets smashed in the face by a black kid with a sock full of pennies
and departs the film.  She (diane) picks up a guy who has to masturbate
in order to climax and she makes fun of it and he kills her...

The Golden Globes have been handed out for the past 50 years by the Hollywood
foreign press, a group of international journalists. They're notable for
awarding both film & TV, and for awarding comedy and drama films in separate
categories. While not considered the ultimate prize, the Golden Globes
are coveted because they often indicate Oscar nominations.

That and the music credits.  Always at the end, I think it may be to

Unfortunately, almost none of that is within the easy control of the
theatre.  As a manager I find it frustrating that I have to decide which
shows I am going to skimp on cleaning or let in late because I have set
in stone guidelines within which I have to schedule movies.  Lorenzo's Oil
was not exempted even though it runs over 2.5 hours.  The guidelines were
formulated buy the founder of the company who is also chairman and CEO.
No end running him...

I know that Showcase and Loews have similar situations, at least as 
restrictive.  Carmike Theatres schedules are done by thier division
people.  I would love to go back to our old scheduling practices, it 
made more sense and more money while keeping the theatres cleaner and
the patrons happier.  A win-win if I ever saw one.

I actually think that the schedule may work well for a theatre with the
right design...a theatre less than 20 years old with more lobby/concession
space.  Especially in a more urban market when the later shows would
draw more people.  But Hadly ain't urban.  It is famose for asparagus
growing.

    show their process at the screening, and showed the comparison of color

Does anyone have further information about this process? Has anything been
published? How is the data stored, on tape, disk? Is the output medium a
regular release print? How much computing power is needed during post to
manipulate the data?

The impression I get from the final sentence is that F/X can be smoothly
integrated with action material. Besides major improvements in matte
useage and 'morphing' what else could be done in this medium that isn't
being now or is being done now but could be done a whole lot better?

Who have been the driving forces behind these innovations? Are movie makers,
directors, the studios, television networks, etc. interested primarily
because of potential cost reductions during the production process or does
the medium really open new horizons beyond more easily implemented F/X?

Well, since you read the list, you  know that
she was in Staying Alive. (The Saturday Night Fever sequel directed by
Sylvester Stallone.) She probably doesnt do that many films due to the 
fact that she is a regular on General Hospital.

While this is not actually a well-known film...I saw Wesley Snipes today 
in a video on sexual harassment.  It appeared to be about 5-7 years old
and he played the boyfriend of a woman harassed by her boss.  When he walked
on the entire class laughed.

Which was also used in _The Running Man_, and I'm sure quite a few
movies/stories before that as well.  I don't believe the HBO film _Deadlock_
was any great collection of novel ideas.

In fact the idea of two escapees being chained/handcuffed together dates
back quite a while.  See an episode of HBO's "Tales from the Crypt" with 
Kyle McLaughlin for an interesting twist on that idea.

and which also comes up again when she arrives home to see Cary and

Heather died after the filming of Poltergeist III, and before it
was released. If you watch the credits to the end, there is a tribute to her. 
It was very sad, and there were a lot of stories at the time about how
bad horror films were for small children. In my opinion, by they last film, she 
had begun to show she had great potential as an actress. Her role is
not one you can get easily out of your mind.

I don't know about this, but I saw Cape Fear on Showtime about 3-4 nights

It was released in the US last summer (or spring?).
I'm not sure when it will be out on video.  It is a magnificent movie, and  
absolutely worth seeing.  Emma Thompson has now won every major pre-Oscar award
