Well, duh.  I mean, how else is a vampire supposed to get blood?

>It was boring and drab.

You're entitled to your own opinion of course.  But it seems to me that
the drabness was a calculated move on Romero's part.  The drabness points
up the decay and stagnation of the neighborhood and also makes the whole
movie seem more "real."

Chris,
     go to Dormont every week.  Unfortunately, it is the only theater in
the Pittsburgh area to be showing the movie.  I experienced the same
problems with public trans last year as you do now.  But besides having
your own car there is no way around it.  If you go with a group as we
did last year, we found the whole experience only costs $7.  Which is
the price of regular movies anyway.  oh well, I think it's worth it,
although I have a car this year so public trans is no longer a problem. 
Sorry!  But do keep on going as it is a good cast and where else do you
get to see the wonderful Tim Curry videos?

BAH! Greenaway is such an avant-garde bore who thinks his work is very deep and
intellectual. The only interesting things are the many original scenes, but even
they get pretty ridiculous when you discover that there actually is a deeper
meaning intended and that he didn't make the scenes just for the
shock/fun value of them.

This a typical example of how to crush an otherwise enjoying and fun film
(Drowning by Numbers was the first Greenaway film I saw and I actually called
myself a Greenaway fan, until I saw Z00 and other films which led me to my
position today) gets ruined by the director going out and trying to explain his
own film. "NO you're wrong. This isn't an enjoying and fun movie film, Espen, it's
actually a very serious, deep and intellectual film with more points than you'll
ever discover."

  The movie version of _The Dunwich Horror_ is called just that, starring 
Dean Stockwell. In addition, HP's "The Colour Out of Space" was made in the
'60s as _Die, Monster, Die!_ with Boris Karloff, and was remade in 1987 as
_The Curse_ with Wil Wheaton. (Yes, Wesley Crusher. We all have to start
somewhere.) _The Curse_ has also spawned two sequels, _Curse II: The Bite_
and _Curse III: Blood Sacrifice_; however, I doubt if either of those efforts
is related to the first film, or to the late Mr. Lovecraft in general.
  Horror sequels are like cockroaches: they're small, they're nasty, they're
ugly, and they breed like there was no tomorrow. (Take a look at the dark 
recesses of your local video shop -- the smaller the shop, the weirder the 
horror titles, and the more sequels. I expect _Vampyr 2_ and _The Old Dark
House 2_ to show up any minute.) 
  If nuclear armageddon occurs tomorrow, I will still be in my apartment,

mug of iced Pepsi, watching a horror sequel.

I was in the local vid store, picking up "my girl" (wow, great flick)
when I saw "Blade Runner.....Tenth Aniversary Release" and said, wow,
get both of the flicks.......I did, I thougth the Tenth Aniversary vid
would be the famed "Director's Cut"  or whatever you all have been
calling it......to my dismay, I found nothing real new......I was
looking for new and I think I found a few scenes that were different for
the original copy that I have..........


My question, what did I just watch????was that the famed "Director's
Cut" or was this a "rerelease" of the original.......You would think I
could tell the difference......but if I just saw the "Director's Cut"
.....
well, don't bother, it is not significantly different from the
original...

thanks for the input and help!!!!

Good choice! But I think it will get better with age, finally to take its

And no film that starts with John Carradine <drunk> snipping off Rex Reeds

	It's neither.

	The Blade Runner who was on this assignment before Decker (I'm
sorry, I've forgotten his name) is the person at the beginning who was
administering the Voight-Kampf test to Leon.  He was going through all
the new employees at Tyrell Corp. to see any were replicants.

	Anyway, this Blade Runner was waiting in the room for Leon to
show up, and he was looking out the window to pass the time.  If you
watch the parallel shots closely, you'll see he's looking out the
window from both the "in the office" shot, and "flying toward the
Tyrell building" shot.

	Besides, it couldn't be Decker, we hadn't even met him yet.
And it couldn't be Holden; his office was higher up in the building.
(Watch where the elevator goes when JF goes up to see him.)
