I heard that in Highlander III a band of immortals who escaped the carnage
in Highlander I are woken up.  Turns out that they were accidentally
buried by a landslide/avalanche and have been sleeping all this time.  Well
they get lose and thus is spawned more hack, slash and general maiming
action

Sad isn't it

But the video tape and one of the laser disc versions available for sale or

watching the movie in the last <10 years will have most likely seen the
"European" version.  (The exceptions would be if you saw it as a television

well, it's not the movies, but tv (surprise!). On Young and the Restless
(yes, a soap-opera) there is a character who is 16 (Vicki) and just got
married behind her parents' back. The man she married was cheating on
her, but she knew and married him in the hopes it would end his
unscrupulousness. The way she found out about the "affair" was she was
in his apartment hoping to surprise him when he came back to his
apartment with the "other woman" (Nina) who is much older (and
experienced) than Vicki. She hid in the closet and watched them have
sex. Yesterday I caught Y&R and Vicki and Ryan (her husband) had just
had sex and Vicki was agonizing over the fact that the sex was a lot
better between Nina and Ryan than it was between her and Ryan (comparing
to the time she watched). She was crying and saying "what's wrong with
me!? why can't it be as good with me?! what am i doing wrong?"
Hopefully, they will deal with this in a manner which will be
informative to any of the young women out there who watch--they use this
to let them know that they're not neccessarily doing anything *wrong*
and that there isn't anything *wrong* with them.

we'll have to see what happens.....but man was i surprised to see that
on tv! :)

Subject: Hitchcock cameos in Rebecca and Suspicion?
Date: 8 Sep 92 21:01:53 GMT
Organization: SEASnet, University of California, Los Angeles


	I just saw both Rebecca and Suspicion and am wondering where
Hitchcock appears in both films? I watched both films very carefully
and the only possible Hitchcock cameos that I could guess at were:
	Rebecca: near the end of the film, when a person with Hitchcock's
portly frame passes by a telephone booth behind a policeman and one
of the characters in the movie. Uncertainty arises from the fact that
this possible Hitchcock person has his back to the camera and walks very
quickly by the scene, so you could never get a good look at him.
	Suspicion: harder to tell than Rebecca. Near the beginning of the
film, where Cary Grant is talking to some people in what looks like the
start of a hunt and everybody is getting their horses ready. A person with
Hitchcock's portly frame with jockey attire passes in front of Cary Grant's
group walking a horse. He again has his back to the camera. This is harder
to tell than the scene from Rebecca in whether it truly is him.
	Can anybody confirm this?

	By the way, what other films has Joan Fontaine starred in?

Nope, hate it. Why can't they leave a good film as it is, instead of trying
to do a second and third. The first was good, especially the scene changing
like the lake to fishtank etc. I know the film industry are supposed to be 
short of original ideas and mainly interested in making money, but its no
excuse, they should take the risk and produce new films. There are plenty
of ideas if they look.

Oh well...

Sorry, but you're wrong there.  It most certainly was filmed in
German.  Bravo (the cable channel) has shown it once or twice,
but they unfortunately showed the dubbed version, which has
lots of cheesey music - the original is far more atmospheric.

There have been several good adaptations on King's work, including:

Stand By Me     Based on "The Body."  This is probably the best
                film based on one of his works.
Misery          Not as good as the book, in part because it 
                ignores many issues the books raises about the
                author and his audience, but well done never the 
                less.
The Dead Zone   I haven't read the book, but the movie was pretty
                good.
The Shining     This one is hard to judge, because the movie is
                very much Kubrick's, not Kings.  It misses much
                of the feel of the book. However, considered on
                its own, with no reference to the book, it is
                well done.

This is not an attack, because I too have been guilty of this

However, I feel that a large number of space could be saved

Indeed, Dallas may be substituting for "New Detroit", but my favourite "Robocop" 
continuity error is that when Murphy goes into the police station to scan the
huge "memory banks" to get suspect information, the big, monolithic "computer" he 
interfaces with is no more than a BNR DMS-100 phone switch (shameless plug alert!).

It was Joh Cryer, and the film was called 'Hiding Out.'  Stockbroker involved
with the witness protection plan...so he goes back to high school.  He is
tearing down posters other students put up trying to get him elected class
president.  Fun 'no-brainer' kind of film.

It actually ties in with annother thread...Cryer's character runs (south)
out of the South Station railyard in Boston, through an alley, and winds
up about 5 blocks North in the Haymarket.  *User shakes head in dismay*
