One person posts a review and the rest of the net decide the pronunciation
of the lead actor. Hey, what about the movie?

I thought that it was magnificient, appealing to all the senses, but 
a little stale for the mind. Columbus seemed too shallow at points, not
having explained the reasoning for his actions. ( ie. explain the 
frustration and tyrade in the monistery, how bad were those seven years
of waiting).

Ridley Scott shows the dreamer, who actually does something, getting weighted 
down in his discovery and all the "red-tape" of governing that it brings him.

Sigorney Weaver ( pronounced WAY vi yah :-)) does a wonderful job as
Isabella. I didn't have as much a problem seeing her as the Spanish queen,
as I did seeing the Frenchman play an Italian sailing for Spain.
Depardieu looked like the portraits of Columbus that I remember from history,
especially when his is older.

ER>3. When is Martin Scorsese's THE AGE OF INNOCENCE  due? I have no info on tha
ER>at all.

     The release of THE AGE OF INNOCENCE has been set back to the fall
     of 1993.  The studio has confidence in Scorsese, and the long delay
     is NOT because they think it's a bad movie - rather, they think
     it's a good movie.  Scorsese needed extra time to finish the editing
     of the movie, and since it was scheduled to be released on Christmas
     Day of 1992, any more delays would have put it past the January 1
     deadline to qualify for the Academy Awards.  So the release date was
     pushed back to the fall of 1993, where it would qualify for the
     NEXT Academy Awards, in 1994.

The music was composed by Sir William Walton for the movie.  There were 
several LPs of his movie scores available on EMI's HMV label in Europe 
(Angel's Seraphim label in the USA), and there are quite a few now available
on CD, but I'm not sure if RIII is one of them.  He is in the classical 
music section and has composed a wide variety of works besides film scores
so most stores will carry a section for him.

Who is the centerfold in Under Siege?  I did not see her

Has she been in anything else?

Is there a possibility that she is really the centerfold

There's really no suggestion at all that the two slept together, and it
baffles me how the idea could have come up.  (Did your friends think
that Lingk being a wimp meant he's homosexual -- or the way he draped
his arm around the back of the banquette in the restaurant??)

Realistically speaking, *when* could it have happened?  The two men met
for the first time in the restaurant just after working hours (let's 
say 5 or 5:30 p.m.).  Roma was then invited to the Lingk's for a 
"home-cooked meal" as we heard at such great length.  He did his 
spiel after dinner presumably, then left and filed the contract.  
No chance to slip off for a quickie anytime there.  All his cajoling the
next morning is perfectly explicable on its surface meaning, as buddy-
buddy "let's be men and not let our wives keep us from spending money
the way we want to" BS to preserve the contract.

I should add that I'm not averse to finding gay subcurrents in movies in
general -- I've sometimes found some where nobody else I know did (as in
"The Thief Who Came To Dinner").  But I just can't see it in this case.

>The other question is, what was that look on Pacino's face when Lemon
>said he made the killer sale this morning?  It was some sort of realization.

Mixture of reactions:  Levine overtook me, I'm no longer #1; followed by
realization, oh it's the Nyborgs, it'll fall through.  That's my memory
of it anyway, though in fairness I should add that this moment didn't
stand out for me as much and I'm trying to reconstruct from memory.

Well, I don't know whether Deckard is a replicant or not.  However, if
he isn't, how did Gaff know that the unicorn would have any meaning
for him?  If Deckard IS a replicant, then obviously Gaff could know
something about his implanted memories, which might include a "dream"
of a unicorn.

Another interesting question - why are all of Deckard's photos (on the
piano) black-and-white or sepia?  (Unless there are color shots I
didn't see.)

Please try not to get vehement about any of this - I, for one, don't
have any emotional attachment to any of the theories.  The ending can
be interpreted in at least four fundamentally different ways, although
I think that the other one mentioned here (the unicorn as a beautiful
creature) is the least reasonable.  One other possible interpretation,
which I prefer, is that Gaff meant that Deckard could have the
semblance of a true relationship with Rachel, but no more - just as he
can have a dream about a unicorn, but can't really see one.  Or maybe
not.  What do I know?

	It's probably been at least ten years since I've seen it, but I thought
at the time that the Louis Jordan version of Dracula was the best I had seen.
It was truer to the book than most of the other versions.  The others seem to 
blend characters like Lucy and Mina into one.  The Louis Jordan version had an
attention to detail and textural quality I enjoyed.

I'll second that - R2 was absolutely awful.  A major letdown.
R3 is finished, but the studio's financial problems have prevented
its release. 
I've heard nothing at all about R3 being good or bad, only that it's
finished.  And that Robert Burke has taken over the role from Peter
Weller.

The first one is called 'Wings', and the 70mm trailer is called
'Cimarron'.  Not having seen either of these, I can't describe them for

THX sound is great!  It's just too bad that the closest theatre to me is

You're forgetting "The Godfather Part II" (1974) which was *much* better

Here's a few more exapmles.  I was workign in Blockbuster over the summer,
and became very annoyed by some of the things they do with music from 
some of my favourite films.

I heard WIllow music and looked up to see Prince of Theives (long anguished 
scream inserted here.  I am a Robin of SHerwood fan,  This film is insulting)

I heard Pat Doyle's music for Dead Again, and looked up to see SEEDPEOPLE of all
all things.

Ditto on the tv.  They used Dead Again's love theme for that Melanie Griffith
moved with the Jews.

They used STarman for Abyss

All I can come up with off the top of my head.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, and in fact, it was one of the best
movies I have seen in a long time.  I can't believe some people did
not like it (but perhaps those people can't relate to the type of
family dynamics portrayed in this film).  I also would highly recommend it.
