I recommend seeing this one, it's very good.

Great performances from Pesci and Hershey, great screenplay, and the
cinematography is excellent.

My only complaint is that a few times the music gets real dramatic and
everything goes slow-motion like when other movies are glamorizing a war hero
or Ghandi or Jesus Friggin' Christ....which left me going "Big fuckin' deal!
he's only a photographer!!"

Other than that small complaint, I thought it was excellent.

     You can rent "Tiny Toons: How I Spent My Summer Vacation" at your

     spoof to come out since "The Naked Gun" and "Hot Shots!," so you
     shouldn't be disappointed.

I just bought 2 of the films in "The Marilyn Collection" released this

supposed to be valid in the US, but I still thought the offer would be
in my tape case, but there was no sign.  I was wondering if anyone out
there has the number to call or any details about just what the deal is
and what is required.  I might get an American friend to get it for me,
evenif I have to ask them to buy a tape to make it all legal, etc.
Could someone in the know please let me know what's going on with this
special offer???	Thanks ever so!

My impression (I haven't read it) is that it's closer to an oral
history that Haley transcribed, and perhaps spruced up.  The story was
told to him by Malcolm X.

There's an interesting article in the present issue of _The New
Yorker_ on Malcolm.  The cover story, in fact.

Reply-To: spencer@phoenix.princeton.edu (S. Spencer Sun)
Organization: Live Organ Transplants

In response to a couple of requests in the '1492' thread (I didn't
followup because it's not wholly relevant, IMHO, and is more of a
general thing)

The first two syllables are relatively easy... 

De -- like the word 'Day'
par -- just like it looks (as in a par-5 golf hole)
dieu -- ok, this is the hard part.  The 'ieu' sound doesn't have an
English equivalent that I can think of... well, sort of like the sound
of the 'oo' in 'good' or 'book' or 'foot.'

Long digression follows.  Beats hell out of me where followups should be
directed but probably not here.

In fact, the main problem that English speakers seem to have with
pronouncing foreign words (based on my experience and what I've learned
from taking years of French and Spanish) is that English speakers
(definitely Americans, not sure about the Brits) tend to be very sloppy
about their vowel sounds.  For most words, there are a whole variety of
ways you could pronounce the vowels and still sound 'American.'

They tend to stretch out their syllables too.  French and Spanish seem to
be much more precise in the lengths of their syllables.  (This may extend
to other languages too; a cousin who recently visited us from Taiwan
commented that my spoken Chinese (Mandarin) doesn't have much of an
accent, except that I hold my syllables out longer than native speakers do
-- I was born here in the States)

We should maybe emulate the French solicitude to pronounce foreign

Grow up. People who are secure in their own culture don't need to prove

People who worry self-consciously about the correct pronunciation of

I completely doubt PKD would have liked the movie.  At best he would have
distanced himself from it.  He has a real aversion to physical violence.  Although
many of his stories took place in a militarized or otherwise post-apocalypic world,
the military was universally shown in a bad light, typically as an example of
what went wrong.  This view, I'm sure, would expand to individual warriors, such
as the buck-toothed giant.

   First of all, let me say that making a film of Stranger in a Strange Land 
is a huge mistake.  Every SF or fantasy book that people used to be excited 
about just died after the inevitable so-so movie came out - anybody want a 
set of the original Gnome Press Conans??  They're practically 
worthless now. Thanks Arnold.  Remember Tolkien?  Dune?  Watership Down?  
For awhile I thought Stranger would escape the slaughter heap.
   With that out of the way, the only possible choice for Jubal is Hume 
Cronyn.  The only possible choice for Michael would have been Robin 
Williams.  That's the trouble with Hollywood. They never listen to me.

I'm not sure if this movie goof has been discussed
yet.  It's from Rocky III.  In the first fight Rocky
has with Mr. T, he's wearing yellow trunks.  When
he is on the beach having flashbacks of that fight,
there's a scene where he's wearing the red-white-n-blue
trunks that Apollo Creed gives him later in the movie.
Has anyone else noticed this?
As you can tell, I'm a diehard Stallone fan.
