So what? Last time I checked, the Motion Picture Association of America
had just about diddly-squat to say about movie titles in Europe (I believe
1492 is a full-European film). But perhaps they wanted the same title all
over the world, so they chose 1492, since that is easy to translate... :-)
They could have used MCDXLII, but maybe that doesn't look as good...

Mostly less, as I recall ( I could be wrong here - I called Blockbuster,
they don't have it. ) It's the MEN that are after HER, you see. 
The idea being conveyed is that as various and idiosyncratic as
all these men are, they are each and every one of them only after
one thing. I thought the movie drove the point home very well.
I think it's dear old dad, ( John Astin ) that gets her in the end.

What??  You mean you thought you went to to go see the sequel, in which you
knew before hand that it should be about the Alien creatures, and you 
thought the first time that something else was going to happen??? Like, maybe,
Daffy Duck had killed everyone???  That was the major difference to me between
1 and 2.  Alien was a suspense movie where you really DIDN'T know what the 
Alien looked like, nor what to expect, nor when to expect it.  Aliens was more
of an action movie, where you knew that she was going back to kill Aliens,
and, between the title and the fact that about 2 dozen Marines were going with
here, you had to (I hope) figure it was more than 1 Alien this time.  
Aliens 3 was more or less an action movie and finale.  And, except for the
hokey ending (the "Jesus-Christ" sequence), I thought it was excellent as 
well.  It was more of a personal movie, I guess, where we get to see more of
Ripley and the Alien..

There are a couple of goofs in Encino Man:
1) When the class is listening to their very first lecture on cro-magnon man,
the teacher writes on the board "Cro-Magnon, Man".  Note the comma here.
In scenes afterwards, the comma disappears and reappears.

2) When Link eats the Icee out of the machine, he gets it all over his shirt.
Jus before he leaves and does his Terminator impression, his shirt is
clean.

3) Same as above, but this one involves the salsa he eats at the bar.

4)When Sean Astin and Pauly Shore are banging on the window to tell
Sean's mother that they found Link at the beginning, note Sean Astin's
face--he is on the verge of laughing.  Same applies when the two wake up
in the morning and Pauly is zonked out on top of Sean.

He was a favorite of John Sayles in many of his movies.  He was in
Return of the Secaucus Seven (the guy who never moved away, and worked
at the gas station), Brother from Another Planet (he and Sayles were the
interplanetary bounty hunters), Eight Men Out, and I think is in City of
Hope.  Other movie credits include Call Me, Stars and Bars, Silkwood
(her ex-husband), and I think League of Their Own (I haven't seen it).
On TV he played Oppenheimer on the telefilm "Day One", and for 4 years
played Moss Goodman on "The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd."  I know I'm

shout out, "Look at the big lump on my buddy's head. It's more fun to look at then the ugly woman
