(19 Oct) Greg Schmidt is writing that _Brasil_ is based on _1984_ by

I have seen both _Brasil_ and _1984_ and I have read _1984_ by Orwell  
and I feel that even if _Brasil_ have somethink in common with _1984_  
than it is realy hard to say that it is based on Orwell.
Could anybody explain it to me?

Exactly.  The scene on the laserdisk was shot five years earlier than
anyhting in Aliens and so came first.  :-) Discussions on this basis

An electric motor.

The original proof-of-concept for the Vulcan aerial cannon (6000 rounds
per minute 20mm cannon) was done by tacking an electric motor on to an
original Gatling gun from the turn of the century.

A few spare parts and a borrowed gun from some collection and General
Electric had a whole new line of business.

This was debated for a couple of weeks (and about 100 messages) on the
arts.rec.movies conference when T2 first came out.

In the book I think I remember it saying that the T1000 was covered
in some sort of organic paste or somesuch so that it could time-travel.
This is never seen in the actual movie, and it also doesn't explain
why SkyNet doesn't send back a 'ray-gun' (remember, T1...) with
the same kind of paste on it, or in the original r.a.movie messages
put it 'inside of a kangaroo'.

The explaination I offered is that the T1000 *IS* a living organism,
but just based on different chemicals, after all, thats all we are.
The T1000's is an actual creature, and it is made of some sort of
bio-metal that is in effect, alive.  This also is never said in the
movie, but would explain a lot of how the T1000 worked in the first
place.  After all that Arnie puts him/it through, it is definitely
not based on any technology we are capable of now. So when Arnie
blows a hole in him or something, the individual living cells say
'OK lets repair the damage and form back into our normal self' 
and off they went.

Just my 2 cents....
