This might be stranger stuff than you're looking for, but check out
the music of Astor Piazzolla and Guy Klusevcek.  Both of these guys
do really unusual (and wonderful) music on the squeezebox.  Piazzolla's
been around for many years, Klusevcek's stuff is "newer."  It might
be a little hard for you to find music by these characters, depending
on your access to hip record stores...

I was watching some old videos that my friend recorded from
the tv show "Nightflight" years ago and one of the really 
good videos was by the band Propaganda.  We haven't heard anything
from them in years and I was wondering if anyone out there in
has heard anything from them in the last 3 or four years?

Off the top of my head, my favorite band that uses
fiddle and accordion simultaneously is Bratsch, a
Paris-based group that does Gypsy and other folk
musics of Eastern Europe.  They have a total of
three albums out; probably the best is their 
second, SANS DOMICILE FIXE, though they have
something newer called TRANSPORTS EN COMMUN.
These are not available through U.S. stores,
though, so you would have to use a company that
can order from France.

The Japanese Laserdisc version. It lies somewhere between the other two
(so I've been told). It has the Goldsmith music and plenty of footage
that wasn't in the US version, but I've heard that it doesn't contain
all of the European footage. I think it runs about the same length as
the US cut, but I'd have to check the jacket to be sure.

It has letterboxed credits but switches to pan-n-scan for the rest of
the film (grrrrrrrr).

actually its somewhat true... when a person doesnt fell pain the limit one can go is no longer finite accept to the point of damaging say the hand ... 
pain is like a governor on a mini-bike .. take the governor off and the bike will go as fast as u can push it until the engine blows.. samething in Darmans case.. it was greatly exaggerated but the concept is the same ... its usually your own pain that restricts how much weight u can lift .. as well as mucle tone.. remember his character wasnt a 98 pond weakling ... he wasnt made out to be superman... just very dangerous... 
but i agre the movie was corny ..

Abot Ridley Scott
So Colombus Day is approaching, and most of us have made our mind on 
wether celebrate or mourn this coming monday. What I do know, however, 
is that there two movies were made this year about 1492.  One of them 
was released by the end of the summer and seemed so righteous, 
inconsecuential and cliche-enforcing that I didn't bother to see it.  
And now, along with monday's celebration, another movie is opening -I 
forget the name: 1492, the Conquest of Paradise ?- with Gerard 
Depardieu, and to my surprise, directed and produced by Ridley Scott.  
Now since so many peple in our group claim to know what the man had in 
mind when he directed BladeRunner, I guess you'll also begin telling 
me what this 1492 thing is all about.  For if the movie is just going 
to be a Hollywood superproduction with cheezy moral one-liners, 
astronopmical yet unneeded costs, happy ending and all of that, then 
there is no reason to talk about it in this group.
Resuming my convoluted line of thought:  I would like for this to be a 
great one.  I don't expect a faux-pas from someone like RS.  Moreover, 
Depardieu is a great actor.  He is incredibly versatile and knows more 
about strong roles than anyone I can think of.
Now my worries: the last time Depardieu went to Hollywood they came 
out with a horrible movie: Greencard.  It was the typical case in 
which an exceptional actor takes a role which he/she feels everybody 
everybody everybody will love, and it turns out he/she triedso hard 
that nobody does.  Will it happen again?
Furthermore, the whole marketing of the movie reminds me of the one 
that came out a couple of months ago.  Too Robin-Hoodie, if you see 
what I mean.  the question is: will old Ridley stoop that low?
but anyway, this is just brainstorming, let's see what happens next.
Federico


P.S.
What has Ridley Scott done after 1982?

	In addition to the prevalent(sp?) images of eyes in the film
(not only "the windows of the soul," but also challenging the way
we *see* and perceive reality: "Your eyes can deceive you; don't 
trust them," as one wise old man once said.), there are, especially
near the end, several powerful images of *hands*.  Exhibit A:  Both
Batty and Deckard have injured hands, and several scenes are 
cross-cut, showing both of them trying to 'repair' their hands.
Also, Roy's hand is shown close up many times.  There are several
other points during the film where these images pop up, as well.

I saw _The Duellists_ a little while ago and thought it was quite possibly Ridley's
most gorgeous film.  Every frame of the film was perfectly composed and many were 
very nice visual references to classic paintings.  I felt myself very lucky to have 
had the use of a projection screen television so that I could really apreciate the 
subtle beauty of the movie without having to depend on the dubious tastes of the 
local art cinemas.  I know it's really hard to find on video, but has anyone else 
seen this?  Why is it that the only people who remeber it are _serious_ Ridley fans
or movie critics.  Did it flop in the theatres?  I would say it is the best feature 
film by a first time director that I have ever seen.

While Bad Influence is an underrated flick, I think the only "cult" film would
really be Miller's Crossing, mainly because the Coen Bros. are "cult"
directors. They have a following of people that love their films. 

The other two films I would consider sleepers.
