Subject:      Bonehead Actors

Good morning again, folks,
        I was thinking about Rolando's proposal to shut up bonehead actors
like Arnold Schwarzenegger (sp) when my somewhat slow synapses offered up a
nifty little factoid:  the guy got his MBA some time ago from U Michigan or
Michigan State, whichever is more prestigious.  Now, believe what you will
about the man's acting abilities, I don't think he qualifies as a bonehead.
For that matter, can anyone who raises himself up from skinny Austrian obscur-
ity to huge worldwide success possibly be called a bonehead?
        While we're on a roll, here's another true bonehead factoid:  Dolph
Lundgren, the robotic blond guy from Rocky IV and Universal Soldier and a host
of other forgettables, has a master's in chemical engineering from the Royal
(insert his home nation here) Academy and was on his way to Boston to take up
his full scholarship to M.I.T. for his Ph.D. when he stopped in New York and
decided, while there, that acting looked like more fun.  Long sentence, true
facts.
                                                        Alex
PS Dolph, please, go back to the lab.

Having _Blade Runner_ on the list surprised me.  Ususally lists like
these tend to "snub" movies in the Science Fiction Genre.

A great list Rolando, full of wit and wisdom.  I agree with everything on it,
except of course number 5.  I say we need *more*, not less, Stone and Lee.
After all, if you don't like what they have to say, you could put them in

Subject: more suggestions on t & l return

How about casting Michelle Pfeiffer and Linda Hamilton in the follow-up to
Thelma & Louise?  We could call it Thelma and Louise Return, or simply T (and
L) 2.  Horribly transfigured in the crash, Michelle could wear her catsuit to
cover up the scars, and Linda could carry the gun, as the two continue their
fight against All that is Mundane, Evil, and Oppressive.  (Sorry, Rolando, I
almost cast Rebecca de Mornay in this, but Rebecca lost out because Linda is
leaner and meaner, and looks much more believable toting a firearm.)  And
instead of riding around in a T-bird convertible, they could ride around in . .
. the Catmobile!  Hey, maybe we could toss in a cameo of Arnie as The Hunky
Hitchhiker from Hell. . . . And this time around, I'd like to nominate Tom
Skerritt to play the role of The Good Guy Who Almost Saves Them.  Yep, this has
definite possibilities. . . .

Subject:      cuts in Madonna movie/cuts in other movies

I don't know if someone answered this question but yes BODY OF EVIDENCE was
cut to get an R rating.  I think it's only responsible journalism for
reviewers to say so, but usually they don't (other similarly treated films
are DAMAGE, THE LOVER ...).

Someone on one of these lists suggested that the pay channels don't carry
NC-17 films.  Cinemax does regularly.  But they also seem to show R
versions if two versions are available.

Latest "casualty" or whatever is in the hands of the director.  Vincent
Ward cut his massive MAP OF THE HEART HUMAN, a
Canadian-French-Australian-British etc. "European" film, after the Cannes
festival of 1992, where it was presented as a "work in progress."  It was
very long; now it is 106m. Ward did the cutting himself and added "new
scenes in the middle of the pic...flesh out what was a disappointingly
sketchy series of relationships...one day's extra shooting in
London"--Variety 1/11/93.  Variety praised the original and praised the cut
version.  It's now called MAP OF THE HUMAN HEART.  If it really is any
good, some day there will be articles about all the minute cuts that were
made and a laserdisk version--but which will be the director's cut?

Just wondering,

Carol

He was Joey 'The Lips' Fagan, played by Johnny Murphy, who also appears
with Colm Meaney (although in a very minor role) in 'Into The West'...

P.S. Enya (and her siblings' band) was/is called Clannad (spelling correct).

Maarten,

Is that right?  I just remembered it being Italian or German for some reason,
 probably because the couple is hitchhiking in France ;-)  My thought processes
 are a little convoluted sometimes.  But you're talking about the movie in
 which a girl disappears and her boyfriend tries to find her (my best attempt
 at a very opaque plot summary :))

If so, thanks for the correction.

Another crossover is Fred Dalton Thompson - a lawyer originally involved in
the Watergate Hearings, who later appeared in such films as DIE HARD 2, FEDS,
THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER, and MARIE.  He played the head air-traffic

Dear Adrian,

I haven't seen the film, but in the book this Joey was called Joey The
Lips Fagan. I'm sure he would never call himself Joey Blues, cause the
only music according to him was soul music.

Subject:      Lawnmower Man Laser Disc

Question:  How many Director's cut  can a movie have?

Answer: As many as they want.

I saw the Laser Disc _Lawnmower Man_ (Director's Cut) which has a longer
run than the director's cut on video.  Neither my husband or I wanted to
spend 39.95 for the movie.  But it looked like there was another 20-30
minutes added on to this version.

I know that the director's cut on video 'helped' the movie, with the
added scenes.  Has anyone seen this version.  If so, how is it?

Computer games have become so popular that software houses are always
looking for new ideas, and where better to look than the cinema?
It's mindblowing to think that for many of the popular
films released last year, there has been an accompanying computer game
(e.g. "Batman Returns", "Lethal Weapon (3)", "Terminator  2", "Cool
World", "Home Alone 2").
Of course some film licences turn out to be totally useless ("Home
Alone", Ghostbusters 2)
And some of the games are better than the actual films ("Hudson
Hawk", "The Addams Family")
The fact is that computer game licences are HOT!
Steven Spielbergs "Jurassic Park" (sp?) will be released as a game in
spring, before the film even premieres in a cinema.
The movie-to-game concept can work the opposite way, also.
"Super Mario Brothers" will be released as a film next summer. (I
think Samantha Mathis is worringly young to be Bob Hoskins love
interest!)
This could start a new trend in the film making world...
Imagine Joe Pesci as Sonic the Hedgehog or Bruce Willis as James
Pond!!(?)
I shudder at the possibilities!

Speaking of casting, Tim Curry should have most definately been the
Joker in Batman - He looks just like the comic character

Totally non-relevant fact: The original casting list for "Robin Hood -
 Prince of thieves" made interesting reading, Kevin Costner as Robin
Hood survived, but what about Jack Nichelson (sp) as the Sherrif of
Nottingham and Danny DeVito as Friar Tuck!

Comments would be greatly appreciated!
Bye for now,

My dept. is planning to set up its own video cassette rental service and is

 How about _Cat People_?  The original was a B-type flick with no money
for special effects, whereas the `new' one (came out in 1982?) had really

A sly guy, that Lynch. He knows how to keep us academ-anemics happy --
give us crap that we can find some obscure rationale for praising.

This is, after all, the very essence of PoMo/Camp (not to mention
tenure and promotion). Lynch et. al. are crucial components in a
critical academic function -- blowing smoke in everyone's face and
convincing them it's The Wind of Change.

     Actually, the way I heard the story Robin Williams was sent into a sound
studio with a script.  He came out several hours later after having totally
improvised the material.  The movie was then made as a cooperative effort.

(Sorry I don't know how to quote... this was in response to Brodie's
comments that Williams was not being a 'team player' and that his modern day
references took away from the movie.  Actually the Disney people pointed
out that this movie has a completely different feel than their other ones...
they were very proud of it.)

Barton Fink WAS nominated for set design LAST year. Yes, it's a 1991
movie.  Also Michael Lerner was nomiated for supporting actor....apparently
he lobbied heavily for the nom.  I too was disappointed that John Goodman
was over looked for a nom. last year....he was terrific in Barton Fink.

I'm not trying to but sometimes I'm a bit nationalistic and I think you mean
"the Vanishing" aka "Spoorloos" and this is not italian but dutch!

Sorry but in the Netherlands there are so few good movies that it's too bad
that if there is one the credit goes to somebody else.

Please don't take offence

OOOh, but the first one!   I saw it Halloween night when I was fourteen &
alone in the house.  I remember the opening scenes, when the young couple
is being pursued by a zombie.  I was totally engrossed in the movie & thought
they had gotten away, but wasn't quite sure, when I heard a loud banging on
my door.  I literally leapt out of my seat!  It was trick-or-treaters, of
course, & the beginning of a very long night.

I was sad to see that the later pictures didn't quite come up to snuff.
