Anyone know where I can ftp that file again?

I read ( I think in Starburst ) a few months back that the final word on

other scenes on its side. I think there was an accompanying couple of

Well, I can't remember the title, but it was a film about a demon (with eyes
so visibly made of red lamps as they can be) killing people. For about half
of the film consisted of two men wrestling in a field. It was truly AWFUL.

Another one was a film about nazi-zombies in a desert. Besides having an
incredibly stupid idea for a film, nothing happened on the film. Absolutely
nothing. That was the most awful film I ever saw (And I've seen a lot of them)

*SPOILERS*






















First off - it was wonderful to see the movie again on the
big screen (In Washington D.C.)

There's not really much to say, there are only a few differences
between this and the other:

1.  The voice-over is taken out (Except for Gaff at the end, when
    Deckard is about to go into the elevator)

2.  When Deckard is sitting at the piano, he lapses into a five
    second dream of, you guessed it, a unicorn - I take this to
    mean that Deckard WAS a replicant.

3.  The movies ends with Deckard and Rachel in the elevator.

Well, that's about it - hope it comes to your area.

Leon did play a small part in _Candy Mountain_,

That was Gorky Park.  Excellent Film.  Of course, any thriller with
settings in the USSR used to have the problem that filming on location
was pretty much impossible :-)

Case in point: Firefox, where Clint Eastwood stealing a Russian
fighter plane, had its Moscow scenes filmed in Vienna.  This was
fairly funny to watch, as the inside of Viennese subway stations tends
to have a distinctive, modernistic styling (lots of plastic) totally
different from what I have seen from those in Moscow.  Also, it was
fun to see Eastwood leave the train in a station on a completely
different line from the one where he boarded it.

Yes, the 'whales' were 3rd level guildsmen who are able to navigate
space by using the spice (melange) to 'see' where to enter and exit
hyperspace. This idea of seeing in hyperspace is not that original - I
recall a short story about how only blind people were able to 'see' the
connections (Don't ask me who the author is - I think it was Asimov but
I could be wrong...).

In the books they are referred to as gross creatures with futile limbs -
a pretty fair reproduction in the movie I thought. The 2nd level
guildmen who Paul Atreides bargains with at the end of the movie were a
bit of a let down though.

P.S. They are not related to any salami that I know of.
