Oooooh nice.  First choice, myself.  I'd love to do it.  Real nice role.
Hollywood choice: Jack Nicholson?  Maybe, but he's already done Joker
and Witches of Eastwick.  Off the wall choice, Richard O'Brien (played
Riff Raff in Rocky Horror) physically nice, older now, but probably too
outre'.  I keep picturing the guy from Creepy magazine covers.  

Oh, here's a thought.  John Cleese.  He would probably surprise a few
folks.

I'd like to see the promos for the movie.  Quick shots in succession:
Noahs Ark, Elvis, Sleepy little Castle Rock, Gaunt with smoke coming 
from his ears, Elvis, Pangborn and the paper flower trick, Sandy K,
Two old women facing each other down with knives, Elvis, Gaunt sitting 
behind the wooden table with a gun on it, the Tucker speeding down 
a road at night, Sleepy little Castle Rock, exploding little Castle 
Rock, Elvis, a growing spider, Pangborn with the Flower of Light, 
Sleepy little Castle Rock, fade to black with Title.  Running time
15 seconds.

I'd go see it.

     Having avoided flamewars to this point to the best of my ability,
and not having seen either "Jacob's Ladder" or "Flatliners," I now
dive into the fray.

     I have to agree with Seawasp here.  I go to movies to be pandered
to.  A modicum of intelligent plotting/acting/etc. helps, but I'm in
it for entertainment value, not social commentary or high-mindedness. 
Pretentious movies turn me off completely.

     Thanks for the opinions to all who've participated.  I know
enough now to avoid "Jacob's Ladder" for good.

	Hmm. I haven't seen such amazingly Byzantine complications for years.
And it STILL doesn't make sense, at least from MY point of view. No way would
any of that stuff make ME accept death. Hell, it'd make me fight MORE. "Dammit!
I like those What-if lives -- especially the one with Janice behind door number

	If you're allowed to throw out such huge chunks of storyline, what's
the point? It's like trying to analyze a book if you can remove chapters.
The drug was the solution to the mystery that was being persued; if you just
toss it out it's like eliminating Hercule Poirot's solution of the crime.
Sure, it's only showing up in the last part of the book but it's also crucial
and follows from the prior sections.
	The drug had to be real; they spent too much time on that point. After
all, Jacob wouldn't have BEEN DYING if he hadn't gotten trashed by another 
soldier ON that drug.


	By the way -- a lot of your objections to the "obviousness" of the
film stemmed a lot from the use of Biblical names and images. While I
have read the bible, I don't remember many names from it and only general
plotlines; I suspect the same is true of many other people. Until very
recently, I thought "Jacob's Ladder" was either a song by Rush or a device
made of 2 wires connected to a high voltage transformer (often seen in grade
Z sf movies...)

  I agree with this opinion of TGASS.  I think it is Barker's worst book,
although I haven't read Imagica.  I think TGASS had several good and 
interesting ideas but the book was too long for the good ideas that were
there to keep the plot from sagging.  
  Personally, I have never been scared by a Barker story.  I don't think he
is a particularly good horror writer.  I do think he is a superb fantasy writer
though.  Barker's short stories are usually based on very original ideas.
His writing is also very evocative in his short stories, but in his longer
works his style seems to duller, with good imagery only occasionally bobbing 
to the surface.  
  I wish he would drop his attempts to be scary and jump headfirst into a
pure fantasy novel.

    'coming of age' sounds about right.  Through several scenes I 
    gathered the young guy (wasn't he the kid in ET?) was being given
    a choice as exemplified by Rutger Hauer.  There's that scene in
    the interrogation room, for example, and doesn't Hauer look pleased
    when the kid seems about to take his hand?  And what about when
    the kid is being given the choice between shooting Hauer and 
    letting Hauer "pop the clutch" so to speak.  But I agree, Hauer
    looked at least satisfied at the end.
    No doubt that Hauer is a supernatural figure, is there?
    Maybe the conclusion is why the movie isn't given much credit.

Well, I finally looked it up.  Marc is right, Dario Argento produced both
DEMONS and DEMONS 2 (he also cowrote DEMONS 2).  I assumed Ray was talk-
ing about directors, so I guessed Fulci, Mario Bava, or Whatsisname Bava.
It turns out both DEMONS were directed by Lamberto Bava who is Mario's son.

Hiya,

Would you have said the same thing about "It's a Wonderful Life" ?

If an angel can show Jimmy Stewart what life would have been like
if he hadn't been born, to convice him to live, then why can't
an angel show Tim Robbins (Jacob Singer) what life would be like
if he lives, to convince him to let go and die?

So I think that clarifies things. Anyone know much about Claudio Argento
who I believe is Dario's brother? I saw he was creditted with producing
Alexandro Jodorowski's brilliantly excessive and warped "Santa Sangre"
which definitely had the Argento touch in spots (The scene where the
tattooed woman is stabbed repeatedly and very explicitly was straight
out of Suspiria). Has Claudio made any films on his own I wonder? - Marc

I agree that the vision must have been mystical in nature, and not just a 
product of Jacob's imagination.  However, that does not make it useless,
exactly.

Jacob was resisting his own death, which, whether it was fair or not, was
"meant to be".  So the vision *was* useless because it was a bad thing.
That's precisely why the angels/demons were tormenting Jacob -- so that he
could not retreat to his comfortable imaginary world.

In fact, the Danny Aiello character says something more or less to this 
effect, without actually telling Jacob that he is dead.

I think you misinterpreted the "purpose" of the vision - there was none.  There
was, however, a purpose to the torment.  To force Jacob to accept his death.

Also, I think that the idea of the "government plot" was there for two reasons:
one, it was more stuff thrown in by Jacob's resisting soul to deny his death;
two, it kept the viewer unsure of which was the truth - was Jacob dead or not?
I felt more for Jacob because I could feel the confusion he was going through.
This made the movie, which was after all a horror film, even more horrifying.
Am I dead, am I sick, am I crazy?

An alternate interpretation might be that his soul needed to find out how he
died in order to have peace and die, although I like this idea less.

Intelligence in fiction without entertainment is pretension.  Obviously, some
people felt that _JL_ was just that, while others (including myself) didn't.
It's a subjective thing.

	The actor's name is C. Thomas Howell, and he was in E.T. (he was also
in Red Dawn and a slew of teenage-type films a few years back).   He wasn't
the main character in E.T. though - he was played by Henry Thomas.  Howell
played a fairly minor role in E.T. as one of the school friends of the main
