You noticed this too?  The plot that was given in COOL WORLD was much 
different than what it was originally supposed to be.  Incongruities in 
the trailers tend to prove this.

How do you know they'll get it accurately?

Personally it doesn't really bother me when people mispronounce foreign
words, although depending on who it is (a friend, e.g.) I'll correct
them... not out of superiority, but *I* for one like to know when I'm
wrong so that I can get it right next time and I think most of my
friends do too.

Then again, maybe I'm just so used to having people mangle my first
name... (and you wonder why I my $FULLNAME is 'S. Spencer Sun')

Sure did!  I also liked the Scottish "Clanned" (sp?) song.  They are

Some other info about the original play that I thought might be interesting:

The play is based on Mamet's experience in a real-estate office while he
was in between jobs.  It's dedicated to Harold Pinter.  The copyright
is 1982, though the play ended up getting the 1984 Pulitzer Prize for
drama.

It premiered at The Cottlesloe Theatre, London, England,
on 9/21/83 with the following cast:

Shelly Levene		Derek Newark
John Williamson		Karl Johnson
Dave Moss		Trevor Ray
George Aronow		James Grant
Richard Roma		Jack Shepherd
James Lingk		Tony Haygarth
Baylen			John Tams

  directed by Bill Bryden

It premiered in the U.S. at The Goodman Theatre of the Arts Institute
of Chicago in a Chicago Theatre Groups, Inc. production on 2/6/84:

Shelly Levene		Robert Prosky

Hmm. I think Annie Hall is one of the best comedies of all time,
but I wouldn't call it one of the funniest movies of all time.

My top choices would include several of the best Marx Brothers
films (Duck Soup, A Night at the Opera), perhaps some of 
Fields's best (though he, like Laurel and Hardy, was at his
best in his 20 minutes shorts), a few of the Pink Panther
films (Revenge of the Pink Panther, probably), and a few others.
(I have a soft spot in my heart for The Great Race, though
I know a number of folks think that it's overdone.)
These films are not as good as Annie Hall, but I think they
were funnier than Annie Hall.

This falls into the realm of the really unimportant, but while checking
out Mandy Patinkin's entry in the Actor's List, I saw Robert Patrick
listed as having been in Wayne's World.

I remember watching the credits and seeing that the T1000-type cop wasn't
played by Robert Patrick, but then again, while I've seen WW multiple
times, I only really watched the credits the first time when it opened
over half a year ago.

Anyone know for sure?

Yikes you guys!  Ian Holm played Carroll, and it was "Dream Child"

BTW - If you have not seen this movie, it's a must.  The makers of
this movie had trouble getting big money backing, but people who
saw the script felt that this movie just had to be made, and so 
worked on the movied for scale wages.  The cast includes some of the
very best human size Muppets and a terrific performance by Coral
Brown as the aged Alice Lytle (hence Little Alice) whose flash backs
make the story.  Ian Holm is wonderful as the Reverend Dodgeson (Carroll's
real name).  If you have not seen it yet, then I'm going to stay right
here and remind you until you do...

Well, I haven't seen it. But if you are talking about George Franju's
"Les yeux sans visage" your opinion is not shared by many critics. I think
this movie is regarded as a classic by most.
Well, I had my share of disbelief last night when I went to see the
famous "Zero de conduite" of Jean Vigo. I still can't believe that this dile-
tantic movie is so highly regarded. Yes, I liked some moments too, but on the
whole it was a HUGE disappointment ( shields up ... )
