I thought that was the good news.  :-)

Much as I like[d] Bruce Davison, I really disliked this movie.  I even
tried watching it twice, just to make sure it wasn't something I ate
the first time.

Loved the character's name, though.  George Orr, pronounced Jor-Jor.

There's another film that I liked fairly well.  To be honest, I'm not
sure how well I would have liked it on video, as I have much less
patience with films I watch on television than with those I see in
theaters, but I thought it was a touching story, well acted, and
pleasingly directed.  Not one of the great films of its year, but
a perfectly respectable effort.

One thing I hope Spike's film will do is to eliminate people's ignorance of
Malcolm X, and what he stood for.  Many people believe Malcolm was a racist
no better than the George Wallace's of his day.  They base this view on
incomplete information from when Malcolm was a mouthpiece of the Nation of
Islam.  After his conversion to Orthodox Islam, many of Malcolm's views
changed, and his ideology was still in flux at the time of his death.  It
would be nice to see the ignorance ended.  

On a side note, I don't think Columbus was a hero, but I am definitely going
to see Ridley Scott's film about him (starring Gerrard Depardieu (sp?) as 
Christopher Columbus).

The other night I turned on the old T(hought) V(ampire), and was greeted
by Ringo Starr speaking in a VERY BAD Spanish accent.

Turns out that it's some staggeringly bad film.  As I missed the first
bit and the title wasn't mentioned in my hearing, I'd like to find out what
it's called so's I can find a copy.

Apparently, there's this chick named Candy (this may be the title of the
movie) and what she does is schtup every male in the film, more or less.

As I said, Ringo Starr plays a virginal Mexican with vengeful sisters,
Walter Matteau (sp?) plays a gung-ho paratrooper, what's-his-name who
played Gomez on "The Adddams Family" (the series, not the movie) plays two
guys, James Coburn plays the guy with the cheesy moustache and Marlon
no shit Brando plays this Indian guru who travels around in a tractor-
trailor sanctuary.

The Byrds did the movie's theme song, and Steppenwolf did the rest of the
fuzzy warbles.

Buck Henry wrote the screenplay.

Very, very BAD FILM.

Any help in identifying it would be greatly appreciated.

From everything I've read about the filming of sex scenes, most actors
find that there is probably nothing much less arousing than filming
them.  It's an example of something that really requires great acting
skill, since most of us are not at our most sexually aroused when requested
to grope someone we don't really care about for the twelfth time in front
of several dozen people while wearing body makeup.  Generally, I doubt if
actors get much sensual pleasure from doing these scenes.

So, yes, the actor really does fondle the actress' breast, but so what?
It does not have any of the emotional or erotic aspects of the actual
act, and it is only the performers' and director's skill that makes it appear 
to.  Perhaps a better analogy than a death or a wedding is when one actor
on the screen says something extremely unkind and hurtful to another.  Does
this break the spell for us?  Generally not.  Yet the situation is quite
analogous to the sex scene.  One actor has actually uttered an unkind
expression to the other, and, if it is cutting enough, having that happen
to a real person in a real situation would probably embarrass most of us
as much as watching a couple of real people groping each other in public.
I find a sex scene in a film to be no more distancing than this example.
Others might, but I suggest that says more about their own personal 
responses to various real world situations than it does about the inherent
reality of scenes depicted on the screen, or, perhaps, about the general
skill of performers in making sex scenes work.

   I thought it was typical BBC television drama: intellectual, "arty"
and boring, but very well shot. It began life as a made for TV BBC play,
but it received such a favourable reaction that it toured the art
cinemas briefly. I thought the acting was good (esp Alan Rickman), but
the whole thing was just ssssoooooooooooo boring - it should have been
60 minutes long, I think. A million miles better than "Ghost", but that
doesn't say a lot, really. One art cinema in Edinburgh made the comment
that ghosts don't look so much like they are sublime astral beings, but
more they resemble down-and-outs with terrible hang-overs! I gave it a
low 4 out of 10. I could NOT bear to sit through it a second time.
