Have been away from the net for two weeks. Saw FWWM and just now 
sifted through 170 pages of communications. Yeah, yeah get a life. 

There are references to a hospital scene in FWWM. I saw no hospital 
scene in the version I saw.

To the powers that be (and that includes editors): to take a 3:40 
movie that was obviously made for the original fans, and cut it to 
2:09 has to be one of the cruelest, stupidest moves of all time!

Someone mentioned that Catherine mentions a guardian angel. I don't 
think this has anything to do w/FWWM angels, because we know that 
Brother Andrew helped her while she was in hiding, and she also was 
disguised. 

Coop's ring is sometimes mentioned, but for those not familiar with 
My Life My Tapes, Coop got that ring from his dead mother.

The John Anderson review: sounds like the book he should have 
brought to the theatre would be Dick and Jane. (A grade school 
primer for those not in the US)

To Ed Hughes:
3d. Laura's arms are tied back. They're just down and back 
    instead of up and back.
7. Disagree: Kyle was fine, kinda like the Coop in the first 
    season, first episode.

Can't wait to see the 3:40 version!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doesn't Gerrard say that the tatoo says, "Mom" when he breaks down 
and cries (series)?

Ben wasn't falsely accused by Mike at the Gr. Nor. We learn later 
that Leland was also in the room, but Coop and Truman misconstrue 
Mike's falling down attack. 

The bar scene was totally cool, but why not have had that take place 
in OEJ's? Now that would have been great!

Waldo never leaves his cage in the movie. Stupid small mistake.

I thought Moira Kelly was terrific. She has a more innocent look 
than LFB, so corrupting her was more effective. It also had to be 
hard for her to step into a major character like that knowing the 
audience would be made up of a lot of LFB fans.

I thought I read that Fenn had other commitments. I find it hard to 
believe that she would be scared off by the nudity or the violence 
considering she was in Wild at Heart, did a "spread" for Playboy, 
and is going to star in a movie as a quadruple amputee. 

"Mrs. Tremond's" grandson in the series says, "I am a lonely soul." 
This is what Harold's suicide note also says.

To whoever posted that Audrey left the bank before it blew up: She 
was chained to the vault. Who unchained her? She's history, man. 

To the person who fears that we will all think Canadians are like 
the people in the bar scene. We won't. Just like all Americans are 
not like Clint Eastwood. In Florida, we get a lot of your 
grandparents down here each winter. They are very nice folks, but 
they drive really slowly in the left lanes! 

My 2 cents: I loved what was left of the movie after "they" hacked 
an hour and 31 minutes out of it. No wonder it's choppy. Needed: a 
longer death scene, and more of everything in general. One thing I 
really noticed was that I never felt bad that Laura specifically was 
dead just from watching the series, but the movie let us all know 
her. Meals-on-wheels, Johnny & Josie's tutor, coke abuser, and 
sexual experimentor. " The fact that Laura sought medication, no 
matter how dubious...." (Jacoby-can't remember the rest of the 
quote.) Anyway, you feel really sorry for her, and I kept waiting 
for her to triumph and not die. But hell, I'm a sentimental slob who 
thinks that Rhett turned on his heel and came back to Scarlett only 
minutes after the book ends!
