I'm looking for the r.a.m. FAQ. I don't follow this group (way too much
volume), but I was led to believe that there is a WAIS database that has
loads of film info.  Since I'm not on a UNIX machine, I can't get at a WAIS
client.  Someone told me it was possible to FTP the lists (director, cast,
title, et al) that make up this database.  If possible I'd like to build a
local version on my Macintosh using those lists.  Can anyone tell me where
they can be had or can get me the FAQ for this list?

   Yep. I agree 100%. I just watched this film on video a few nights ago
and I know exactly the shot you mean cause it hit me like a bullet while
I was watching it it. The whole film is swamped with beautiful shots. I
also like the scene involving the Master Swordsman samurai fighting the
idiot who loses his temper and insists on using real swords instead of
the poles they had been fighting with. The killing stock he makes is
beautifully filmed. In fact, this is definately one of the best films I
have ever seen. I could never tire of watching it!

A question: why were samurai hunted and killed by the farmers, as the
film mentioned (near the begining the villagers say something like "You
hunt and kill samurai, why won't you stand up to the bandits"? And how
could the farmers overpower such mighty warriors anyway??

Spoiler to _Blowout_ below:

The exciting yet chilling climax sequence to _Blowout_ with
Jack Terry (John Travolta) desparately searching for Sally
Bedina (Nancy Allen) in the middle of a Liberty Day
celebration in Philadelphia. He's got her wired and can hear her
through an earplug, though he can't see her. To his horror, 
he hears her being strangled by the psychotic villain, Burke,
played by John Lithgow. One of the best finale sequences ever
by Brian De Palma.

My absolute favorite moment in the film is Michael Douglas's evil laugh
near the end, when he sings "Only You" using wine glasses as his musical
accompaniment.

The fundies assert that it is a parent's right to keep their
children totally in the dark about sex, to teach them that
being nude is unnatural and shameful, and that sex or sexual
play is a sin out of wedlock (or sometimes even within wedlock

The best thing is to educate the parents on the movie's
content... and hope the children grow up a little more normal
than their parents.

Danny DeVito's _War of the Roses_ is loaded with fantastic
shots. Just a few:

- The closeup shot of the plate being thrown by Kathleen Turner
  like a frisbee at Michael Douglas.
- The closeup of Douglas guzzling Gatorade (with extra loud
  swallowing sounds thrown in) after a night of being locked
  in the sauna
- The setup to the first flashback as DeVito begins to tell
  the story of the Roses and looks out the window of his office
- The final shot showing the reflection of DeVito's client in
  the window as he leave the office.

Many more in that great film.....

If you mean the Branagh version - I agree.  Mud, blood, etc - not the

Me too. I was in "Unforgiven" last week, and sat behind a couple who
had brought in two small (<= 8 years old) girls. For those who haven't
seen it, "Unforgiven" features scenes of rape, slashings, torture,
explicit sex, and violence. PLENTY of violence.

I have yet to meet an 8-year-old who would be better off for having

	All three times that Welles shot this magnificent opening shot, the man
who is in the toll both (cop), messed up his one line of dialogue.  Welles
wanted to redo the shot again, but the guy was too nervous, and there were no
other extras on the set to replace him, so Welles decided to go with the second
take, and dub in the line for the toll man.

Somehow I missed "Fright Night 2". but "Megaforce"....How could I forget.
Barry bostwick, hideously miscast as an action hero, and those cheesy ass
motorcyles. Bleech! At least it had a catchy themesong <redone by Ace Frehley,

career of Hal Needham, ex-stuntman turned bad director.

Well, the movie fight scenes obviously have little to do with modern
fencing.  The question is, how close would they be to "real" swordfighting,
that is two people with sharp weapons really trying to kill each another ?
Would it look like what these scenes generally look like ?

I guess japanese kendo is quite a lot closer to "real" swordfighting
with japanese swords than fencing to swordfighting with western weapons.

PS. For a really great "bad" swordfight scene, see Kurosawa's RASHOMON.
Two guys trying to kill each other, but flubbing, falling over and
generally doing it very "unprofessionally".
