  I believe you're referring to _The Passage_, Stephen.
  For the record, Malcolm also appears as one of the 60-odd cameos in _The
Player_ (as does his unlikely namesake Andie). I just wish he'd had more
screen time; I've enjoyed his performances a lot more than Tim Robbins's.

I saw it at a friends house not long ago, so it must be out. He rented it
from a local U.S. Video outlet. Lovely film, not quite "Fantasia" level,
but better than similar attempts, such as "Metamorphisis" or "Heavy Metal",
<IMHO>. I think it is a 60's film though. Don't have my references handy
to check, though.

	Actually, it came to the theaters here in Seattle.  The audience
seemed to enjoy it.  Though most of the movie was shot in an underground
parking garage because of the tight budget, I still liked it.

The science in that movie has obviously been made to sound as Flash Gordon/

I believe one possibly worse in that respect is Navy Seals, probably  
funded by Kuwait, the military, and what else, in which the Americans are  
(need I even say it anymore) the goodones and "some middle-eastern mean

Or better yet, just ignore what you are not interested in; most threads on
individual movies tend to die out after a few weeks (or at least fade into the
background). I have seen identical request on both Terminator movies, Silence
of the Lambs, Total Recall....; you don't see the groups being overrun by

Howdy folks!

The university is having a showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show on Halloween

   rice, water pistol/sprayer, newspaper, rubber glove, tp, toast

   'that's no way to pick your friends!'

Can anyone out there help me out?

It's a great film - but the only copy I was ever able to find was taped
from tv and a friend tells me that it's missing big chunks. All 3 of the
Spirits of teh Dead films remind me a little bit of the 60's acid b movies. 
I think it's pretty obvious that Fellini had tripped by the time he did

Let me be the first (this time, at least) to draw the analogy of this to the
wounds of crucifixion.

ObMisconception: Most works of art depict Christ crucified by nails being driven
through his palm.  Students of anatomy or history (or anyone who has tried it)
know that the nails are driven through the wrist, as the weight of the crucifiee
can't be supported by a palm shattered by an iron bolt.

Not trying to be snotty here but what's your point?

Do you want us to:

a) Go see it several times?

b) Give it honorary "cult-film" status?

c) All of the above?

Last of the Mohicans will never qualify as a cult-film for the same reason
that Star Wars or Alien doesn't. All are successful mainstream movies
which have been in nationwide release. Are you implying that we wouldn't
be interested because it doesn't have "Killer Bimbos" somewhere in the
title?

Again, not trying to be a jerk here. I just get the feeling you left 
the main point out of your post.

Sorry to cast a shadow on this thread, but the Pooh-bear definitely *is* a
replicant, as proved by the sign "Trespassers Will", which indicates that
Winnie is a trespasser on earth; i.e. a replicant. Obviously, however, his
intelligence rating is D+ at best. This is can be inferred from the fact that
he "never can tell with bees," a problem very few replicants have.
