I agree.  If Lee is allowed to make the movie he wants to, it has the 
potential to be an incredible success.  I think the first opinion here
(that whites will stay away) is one that the "money people," who are 
holding up post-production, subscribe to even though their probably 
way off base.  

As far as the "X" parphenalia goes, an aquaintance related a story about
his discussion with a young man wearing one of these hats.  The guy could
only describe him as an angry, black, civil rights leader from the 60's.
He knew nothing about what Malcolm X said, stood for, or about his life.
He didn't even know his first name was Malcolm.  The best reason he probably
had for wearing the hat was that everyone else he knew was.  I certainly
hope that this isn't indicative of a lot of black youth, but I fear it
may be.  And if that is the case, then it's more important than ever that 
this be completed so that the 90's generation of blacks have some idea as
to what the *man* was about, not just his status as a martyr or some hip
black dude from back in the day.

I am sorry that I cannot give you an exact reference, but my young
impressionable mind was quite impressed with Tina Louise in a "Playboy"
pictorial: "Sex Stars of 196?", where 196? was 1961-1964, predating
her role as "Ginger" on "Gilligan's Island". She was clad in only a
transparent green scarf.

She had a lolita type role in 'The Hot Spot,' directed by Dennis Hopper and
co-starring Don Johnson, as well as starring in 'Career Opportunity
(Opportunities?)' from John Hughes and company.

Poor Arnold -- he never gets the slightest whiff of credit, does he?
Consider this:  how possible is it that a robot- or machine-like role can
be easily made to look silly and cliche'd (read: unconvincing)?  The
Terminator was fearsome, nightmarish, relentless, and totally believable.
Granted, we have Cameron's direction and story to thank, but we must also
acknowledge that Schwarzenegger played his part in pulling that off --
it did take "acting" to convey those qualitites convincingly.

One thing to keep in mind is the medium that you see BB in. The film
must have been shot in CinemaScope or some equivalent wide-screen format,
because the video version SUCKS. The 'pan-and-scan' is horribly choppy,
jumps all over the place, and we still don't get to see much of the 
detail. It's an excellent movie, of course, but I just hate to watch
it on video for that reason.

Subject: Film Trivia Quiz: Pirates Redux

     We recently learned that our friendly neighbrhood video store had just
been bought out buy one of the major national chains.  We paid a visit to see
what all had changed, and were greeted by an array of oddball titles that we
didn't recognize at first, but seemed just a little bit like films we knew.
It soon dawned on us that the new owner was the same chain that hired our old
friends, the hypothetical video pirates, off the street to execute their new
marketing strategy of repackaging the same old films with new, unfamiliar
names, to con the hapless consumer into thinking he's getting something new and
different.  Now try _your_ hand at making sense of it all.

LIST 1:  What we found

 1. "The House at Pu Corner"
 2. "Up Your Acid"
 3. "As Time Goes Bi"
 4. "The Black and the Madonnas"
 5. "Schwinging London"
 6. "Phygelius"
 7. "I Am Curious (Yalu)"
 8. "Up Your Asphalt"
 9. "As Time Goes Bye-Bye"
10. "Party Off"
11. "I Am Curious (High Yellow)" :-)
12. "Up Your Acetominophen"

LIST 2:  What we _actually_ found

 A. _The Trip_
 B. _Raise the Red Lantern_
 C. _The Hospital_
 D. a hypothetical British remake of _Wayne's World_
 E. _The Last Emperor_
 F. _War Games_

It's a figure of speech, I wasn't literally sick, but the edit was rather
distastefull. I don't think I took it a little too seriously. When I rent or
go to see a movie I expect something from them, whether it is excitement or
suspense or whatever, this film provided none, except for the fact money had

Like hell. If a company is going to make a really cheesy movie, they should
warn the consumers. The adds, what little I saw of them, showed an exciting     
movie about a new type of hero. When I saw how deceived I had been, I was not
too happy.
