	In Japan, `Wizard of Speed and Time' is available on LaserDisc.

I imagine it is the same movie.  Did it feature bimbos running around in
Nazi uniforms?  Did it have lots of cheesy torture/sex/bloody scenes?  Did 
Ilsa get killed by the half-dead, tortured, bloody, female prisoner?  If so,
then we are talking about the same movie.

The original version of Nosferatu did not use the Stoker names. the vampire
was Count Orlock. If they have changed the names of all the characters to
the Stoker names, I think they have violated the film!
Even though it was based <without permission> on Dracula, the film always 
used it's own set of character names. Changing them back is historically
pointless, and would give the uninformed the wrong idea about the film.
It may be based on Dracula, but its handling and sub-themes are worlds
apart.

I remember a series that was aired on scandivian TV when I was a little boy.
I remember allmost nothing of it, besides the fact that I thought it was 
extremely cool. Anyway here's a little summary of what I can recall from it.

It was this SF thing, about some space-guy roaming around with a little 
robotic friend. I have an idea he had his little robot in his back pocket, 
allthough I'm not at all sure of this. He was assigned to a spacecraft build 
inside/outside/around/whatever a small planet ( No not Moonbase Alpha, one 
of my favorites in SF). Uhh.....No wait there's more.I remember a lot of 
hairy guys chasing our friend, the hero, around. And I have quite a clear 
image of the bad guy. He was all dressed in black (of course), looked a 
quite like Darth Vader I believe. He , the bad guy, allso had this thing in 
covering one of his eyes, making him able to Zap people just by looking at 
them.

If any of this seem familiar, please post and tell me what the series was 
called, as it represents, probably, my first interrest of science fiction.

If there's any help in it I can allso tell you it was aired in oh...-77/-78 
or so. In scandiavia, that is.

For a complete list of the stars (and the origin of their names),
as well as 99 other fascinating essays, describing things in this
movie that you and I would never otherwise see or know, see:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Fear of Drowning by Numbers"
published by: Dis Voir
              9, rue Saint-Augustin
              75002 Paris
paperback (6 x 8.5 inches), 152 pages, $20.00
(c) 1988
ISBN: 2-906571-07-5

Greenaway has written 100 short essays about the film "Drowning by Numbers",
ranging from one sentence to several pages in length.  Nearly every one
contains an insight or explanation into the film that I didn't catch.
Some examples:

- the origin of the names of the 100 stars that the Skipping Girl counts,
  many references to other Greenaway films and other art works
  
- the origin of each Cissie Colpitts character

- the origin of the names of the seven Water-Tower Conspirators (all names
  uttered as part of the dying words of famous Englishmen!)
  
- the complete rules of each of the games

- the many running themes (insects, sheep, architecture) and their significance

There are also black and white stills from the film, many of Greenaway's
original sketches, and reproductions of the art works that inspired certain
sets and scenes.

This is a truly amazing insight into the mind of Greenaway and the amount of
thought that goes into his films.  Highly recommended.

Text is in both English and French.

Not really. What they ran was the original US *film* release, which is slightly
different from what is out on video.

I don't recall that. The posters said "An Embassy Re-release", which is
exactly what it was.

As of the 11th there are now at least four versions of Blade Runner:
  - home video release (matches the Euro film release I think)
  - original US film release
  - pre-cut (shown last year in Los Angeles)
  - director's cut (now in release)

Burroughs had the rights to the title "Bladerunner" due to a book he wrote
with the same title (or something like that.)  Far as I know, there was
no P.K. Dick connection at all . . .

I just wanted to add my deux centimes on the Stephen King Movie controversy.
IMHO:
The Shining: really dumb, except for Jack Nicholson who kicked ass.
Carrie: blew major chunkage.
Salems Lot, Dead Zone, Christine: did not see.
Stand by Me: loved it. Not King's usual kind of thing, but shows that he 
really is a gifted writer, not just a guy with a sick imagination.
Creepshow, which no one mentioned: was kind of silly. I really liked the
segment entitled "The Luck of Jordy Verrill" or something similar, which 
starred Stephen himself and has some of the same elements of the original
short story "Lawnmower Man" and another one I can't remember about a guy
who drinks a lot of beer and turns into a blob or something.
Lawnmower Man: saw it at a movie marathon before it actually hit the theaters,so I may have missed parts of it or seen parts that were later removed. I liked
it, but not as a Stephen King movie--just as a good cult flick.
I will now freely admit something: I _liked_ Wayne's World. It was silly,
it was weird, but isn't that the point of cult movies? Garth is particularly
priceless (esp. the "Foxy Lady" scene).
Any Stuart Gordon fans out there?

The Anniversary Edition has no substantial changes from the version

in theatrical release and will supposedly be out on video in '93.
IMO, trumpeting the same old print as an Anniversary Edition,

Bad News: Since the only redeeming aspect of the film, really, is the effects,
I had hoped that there would be more. But no, it seems to just be additional
characterization.

Good News: The film is much improved by the additonal scenes, but some truly
stupid moments remain.                        

The opening with the chimp breaking out of his cage has been extended. I don't
remember Roscoe going to Job's cabin and being shot by VSI security before.
Also, Dr. Angelo's relationship to his Girlfriend has been changed.
She doesn't take off about 1/4 of the way in the movie, this time.
The new scenes add to a very nice characterization by Pierce Brosnan, and
also expand Job <can't remember the actor, but he reminds me of an old
roomate, particularly in the early scenes. Heh>

And yes, despite showing up on some early posters for the video release,
Stephen King's name does not appear anywhere in the film that I noticed.
Too bad, because this is stil more enjoyable than most of the films that
were legitimately based on his work. 
<All IMHO, of course>
