Cruise knew that Nicholson thought he was correct on this and
shouldn't have to hide from the truth.  This is why Cruise struggled
to decide whether it would be worth risking his career to try to
make him admit it on the stand.  Nicholson only wouldn't admit it
because he knew that others wouldn't or couldn't be able to see "the truth"
from his "Marine" point of view.  He always believed he was right.  This
was the whole point of the climax, not to save the defendants, but 
to watch Cruise take that risk against a very experienced officer 
because he thought he could do it.  Nicholson failed to see that
he was wrong because he was arrogant.  He failed to realize that
he was wrong because he went after the weak when the Marine Corps
duty is to defend the weak and because he was unwilling to take
resposibility for his actions and stand up for what he believed in.

I had been daydreaming the other day about opening an old style movie theater
with one large auditorium, large screen, and balcony that would specialize in
showing older movies that, while available on videotape cannot possibly be done
justice on the boobtoob.  I guess that if I actually had the money this would
be part of a marketing survey, but I don't.  Maybe one of you has too much money
and would like to unload a lot of it on such a project.  At any rate, here are
my picks for pics I'd like to see back again in their full 70mm Dolby Stereo
SenSurround Sound glory at my fantasy theater (they're in the order I thought
of them, so I won't number them):
	Raiders of the Lost Ark (and sequels)
	2001: A Space Odyssey
	Jaws
	E.T.
	Close Encounters of the Third Kind

I just saw and enjoyed "Malcolm X."  Afterwards, my friend and
I remembered a particular scene differently and was wondering
if someone could clear it up for us.  

It was when Malcolm/Red jarred Archie's memory and said that 
he was owed $600 for the number that he played and Archie 
checked and then went after him because he believed Red conned 
him.  That episode and others lead me to believe that Red was 
conning Archie.  However my friend insists that Archie had 
forgotten.  Not wanting to escalate the difference further, I'd 
appreciate if others could clue us in on what you saw and if one (or 
neither) of us is correct.

Oh, I have one last question.  When Brother Johnson was finally
taken to the hospital, a doctor came out and said that he'd live.
Can anyone tell me who was the actor that portrayed the doctor?

Thanks.

Terry

I realize it's not his fault, but I am the patron and he is
the employee, and therefore HE IS in a position to
deal with my complaing. You know as well as I do
that instead of back-talking me, he should tell me
thanks for notifying him of the problem and then
he should go notify the proper person (projectionist,

 I think this is the only movie I have watch over 100 times. I waited years
 for this movie to be re-released in letterbox format. What a difference!
 You finally get to see Sala and Indy lift the Ark out of the sand stone crypt.
 What a difference from the pan&scan version were it floats up as if by magic.:)

  Your BBS is seriously flawed.

1) Certainly a script of "Aliens vs. Predator" DOES exist, but that's about
   all that's happened for this project. NOTHING has been planned yet, and
   most likely nothing will.
2) As for the Star Wars movies - the scripts haven't even been written yet.
   Don't expect these to come out in the near future... yet.

i didn't find the movie particularly biased, in fact i think it painted a
somewhat negative picture of x, showing him to be the dupe of a religious
profiteer, who only saw straight at the end of his life making his death
all the more tragic. the movie is nothing special, quite bland even. i

On the other hand, this technique was very effective in Judgment at
Nuremburg.  In his opening speech, Maximilian Schell is speaking 
German with English provided by an interpreter.  Suddenly the camera
zooms into his face, and he switches, in mid-sentence, to English.  For
the rest of the movie, all the Germans speak English.  But the need
for translators is not forgotten.  Whenever the Germans speak, the
Americans have to wear their headphones, and vice-versa.

I love those commercials, usually they are almost laughably grandiose,
especially in Europe, they have incredible production values and are
sometimes very funny. The appearance of commercials before movies
is pretty much entrenched in Europe and that is why their commercials
always win so many prizes, they are made for the big screen.

   How about Michael Jackson's Moonwalker? It's really weird and it's
