Okay, I had to get you to read it somehow:

It's been eating at me all weekend, and I'm sure many of you know the feeling.
So, sorry for pestering you BUT: can anyone name the highly-forgettable movie
about a yuppie couple that gets into cocaine, then one of them decides to start
selling?  They get addicted, things quickly spiral out of control, she sleeps 
with a gross guy for a fix, they break up, he falls apart, she steals all his 
money, he chases her, she dies (I think in a car bomb), it turns out the whole 
thing was a set-up, predictable ending, the whole 9?
Anybody?

Anyone?

Help?

The only reference is as they re-enter the office toward the end, when James
Earl Jones and his team are waiting for the Redford crew. The River Phoenix
character says, amid other chatter, something like "The best sneak ever and
we can't even tell anyone about it."

Evidently the members of the group are "Sneakers", i.e. "those who sneak."

Can anyone confirm or deny?

I saw Robert Vaughn in a pretty good role once. It was a western, and
he played a gunfighter who was losing his nerve. Can't remember the

Hmm, but maybe Deckard could have competed, but went on the defensive
because he presumed he couldn't (because Deckard did not know that he
was a replicant.)  In fact, maybe they were  no longer designed to be
stronger then humans.  One reason for doing this would be because if they
were, they would realize pretty quickly that they were somewhat "odd"
in comparison to other humans and would soon realize they were replicants.
One squished human hand as a result of a hand shake would do the trick!
Thus, being stronger than human would nullify all the memories of a
human life that they had been given.  Basically, the Rachel/Deckard type
replicant is intelligent but truly "expendible." -- the ultimate in
dehumanization.

An interesting thing to note is that as the audience goes from believing
that Deckard is a man to the realization that he is a replicant, Gaff
goes from knowing that he is a replicant to considering him a "man".
Indeed, that is really what the audience is to realize, I think, that even
though we now know Deckard is a replicant, he (as well as the other
replicants) are no less a "being" then the rest.  There are strong
correlations between the replicants plight in Blade Runner and those of
slaves in the past, obviously, but also to the attitudes and treatment of
homosexuals today.  In every day and age there is a group that is treated
as something less then human and when nothing is done to change that
situation, acts of desperation, like those of the replicants, end it.
Gaffs realization is a sign that things are changing in Blade Runner's
fictional world.  Are things changing in our world?

I think we need some groundrules here... To me, for a movie to be in 
contention for worst of all time it has to have two characteristics:

1. It has to have been made with a serious intent. It has to think it's a 
good movie. Some of the disasters listed so far never intended to be good.

2. It can have no redeeming value whatsoever. Soooo if it makes you laugh,
then it's out of contention because it performed a public service and 
brought joy to your life.

This is why I once again raise my glass and nominate "Liquid Sky" as the 
worst film of all time.

A THX certification means that the screen's sound system is capable of
reproducing movie sound to Lucasfilm's specs . . . but it doesn't
guarantee that the theatre is going to show movies at that screen that
take *advantage* of it.  You could show silent movies in a THX house if

Well, it's been discussed to death, so I won't say too much, but I will
say that I *did* like it quite a bit. There were things that bothered
me, but they didn't change my opinion about the movie as a whole.

I wonder if you are/were a follower of the TV show. It doesn't sound
like it, though, of course, there are people who did follow the show
who didn't like the film. Then again, I know people who either hardly
or never watched the series who *did* like the film, hwich does
suprise me I must admit.

Actually, a *lot* more happened in the film than you listed, but if
you didn't notice, then it really wouldn't do any good to tell you.
I have no problems with anyone who didn't like the film, but it does
seem awfully presumptious of you to tell *everyone* to "avoid it like
the plague" and to "stay away from this movie" as if your opinion
will make millions of people go "oh yeah, ok."

Btw, I do value my sanity and intelligence, and, David Lynch *is*

Could've been "Miller's Crossing."  Although 1989 may have been a bit too much
lead time before its release date.
