I think this has to do with some dumb loophole when getting the rights
to songs in movies, I noticed this before in other movies when they
go to video.  It has something to do with that the makers of the movie
gets the rights to use it in the movie, but not nessasarily for the video.

PS: The only other example I can think of is in 'Sixteen Candles' where
the theme to 'Twilight Zone' is replaced...

	Sorry Salil, but I am puzzled over your critique for this movie,
	and I'm wondering if we saw the same show.  I felt just the 
	opposite to your view of this movie.  The first hour and fifty
	minutes are sumed up in one word: BORING! The last 15 minutes where
	interesting.  How can we have such a difference in views?

	This is not just my opinion.  I had several guests over to watch this
	movie, and they all have different tastes in films, yet they all      
        agreed that this movie was BORING!   
	
	So, tell me why you liked the first hour and 50 minutes, and hated the
        end.

I wholeheartedly agree on both.  And best of all, they're babes that can

able to make a living in Hollywood.

I agree with you. I don't think that ANY movie with ANY budget can possibly
give the viewer who hasn't  read the books  any idea of what it's all about
and it won't certainly give us (*us*) what we expect. 
Now a mini series  that is  not so  mini (I'd say two 45' episodes for each
chapter for the first book where the chapters are small, and so on)   would
be fine. The question is the budget again, it has to be ... adequate.

When dealing with such a topic, you have to _assume_ we are discussing the 
concept of time travel in a way consistent with what Spielberg/Zemekis 
proposes in the Back to the Future movies...
But the above was not a mistake... because Biff did NOT make the first bet 
until days later.. i.e. until young Biff makes the first bet, the future 
will not be altered, hence old Biff went back to his original future.... 
So if old Biff had waited for young Biff to place his first bet before 
he left, then old Biff would have returned to an alternate time-line, 
alternate to him, but reality to anyone else, just like when Marty and Doc 
travelled back to 1985 from the future, by that time Biff had made his bet, 
so by the time they got back they arrived into an Alternate 1985.
So in terms of Spielberg's idea on time travel.. it was not a mistake!
I think the biggest mistake is that they only showed Back to the Future 2
on its own!!! There is nothing like watching all threee films back to back..
Great films!!!

As far as what information has been released to the public goes, the video
tape does not contain Dylan claiming that she was abused. It contains Farrow
questioning her about things Allen might have done. Reporters who've seen
the tape have said that Dylan looks "nervous and shaken" (presumably, her
demeanor is similar to that of children known to be abused) and claim that
this would seem to support Farrow's accusation.

On the contrary. They did exactly what he *did* want. The lawyers *on both

*at least* while the police investigation is going on. The station declined
to broadcast the tape by their own decision anyway, they claim out of
respect for the child.

Colorization also seems to add blurred blobs when there's a lot of action,  
kind of like the digital scanner can't keep up or something. These might  
show up in black & white, appearing like smudges. I never bothered to mess  
with it, because like everyone says, the contrast is all goofed up anyway.

These serials were made and distributed originally as _movie_ serials,
so you can't really classify them as "TV Series".  If you back to the
original D.T. serial, you should find in the credits the name "Phyllis
Isley" (sp?), who later gained fame as "MOVIE ACTRESS"(tm) Jennifer Jones.

And when did Clark Kent rename himself after the star of "Gone With the Wind"
and "It Happened One Night" ?  Was that in the comics, or just a special
adaptation made for the movie serial?

Maybe I should have worded that: "I don't know why anyone would want to watch
a film that looks like a kid's coloring book and not one that is B&W."
Actually, I *do* know... I was pretty much asking the question hypothetically,

For other "Mary Godwin (Shelly)" film appearences, there are the films 
"Gothic" "Haunted Summer" and the opening minutes of "Bride of

I submitted all these to the director-list maintainer; hopefully they
will be included (I never get acknowledgement for my submissions,
perhaps because my site has such lame net-access?).

Gotta read those credits! ;^)

The New York in AFTER HOURS was a Scorcese New York (as opposed to a 
Woody Allen New York, or a Reiner New York)...dark, dangerous, and weird.
And the dark, malicious humour was definitely Scorcesean. (Trying hard
to remember examples to back this up......)

BTW, did anyone see NEW YORK STORIES?  I hated the Coppola film, and
Woody Allen's was so-so, thereby making Scorcese's film the best of the
three.  It wasn't his best effort, but it sure looked good in comparison
to those other two!  Rosanna Arquette played the rebellious young muse of
a drunken, washed up, middle-aged artist, played by Nick Nolte.
