This may be a bit difficult as i can only give (very) sketchy details
but i'd love an answer. I saw this film about 4 years ago but not on
its original release, i.e. it may be much older. It's set in msmall
town America (arn't they always) and of course there's nothing for the
kids to do except go to the local youth club, take lots of acid,
indulge in a bit of vandalism and arson etc. Eventually the parents
etc get fed up and decide to close the club down. This only
exacerbates the situation and further widens the generation gap. 

The climax has all the parents meeting in the local school to figure
out what they should do. The kids lock them inside and trash all their
cars etc. The film's tenor is very anarchic; the end being a sort of
uprising of the dispossessed against those in power

Thanks for any help, sorry i can't be more specific. Reply direct if
you wish

This article is an attempt to save you (and hopefully others) time
and money.  Basically, don't try to get Gunhed, and don't try
to see it.  If you stumble across a million bucks one day and
discover that the rest of your life is spare time, you still
should avoid Gunhed.

You'd be better off watching some old Gamera/Mothra-type schlock.
At least you'll have some laughs.  Gunhed is dull, dull, dull.
Even when guns are firing.  The production values are nice and the
bilingual dialogue is unusual, but so what?  The visuals are
so murky, the plot is so terrible, and everything else is so
stale.

Films seem to have largely passed the Japanese by as a creative
medium, at least these days.  Most of the talent and imagination
now goes into manga.  (However, the Gunhed manga sucks too, IMHO.)

It did have a better plot than Batman I IMHO. . .

If you read the short story that this film is based on you'll find that
the explanation for everything that happens is psychic in nature. The
little girl drowning in her red raincoat is purely a cinematic invention
on the part of the director, Nick Roeg. The stupendous Sutherland/Christie
sex scene in not in the book either :(. It's called "Don't Look Now" and
the name of the author escapes me at the moment. I read it in a compilation
of short stories which all had movies based on them (great book!).

Funny you should ask...  I just finished watching it again, and felt 
compelled to post a little something about it.

Straight To Hell  a film by Alex Cox, with Joe Strummer, Dick Rude ("Duke"
in Repo Man), Sy Richardson (the guy who played "Light," the black Repo Man),
Dennis Hopper, Grace Jones, Jim Jarmusch, Zander Schloss, and the Pogues as 
the MacMahons.

The movie is quite bizarre, like Repo Man meets a spaghetti western.
Great soundtrack, as you might expect!

Best line...

"WELL!  If it ain't ol' Bruno and Angel Eyes MacMahone!  Bet you thought
you'd seen the last of me, boy!  Rusty Zimmerman!  That wasn't very nice,
that little trick with the banana.  One thing that makes Rusty mad, it's
fellers that play tricks with fruit.  AND DON'T PAY THEIR PARKING FINE!"

Oh well...

One thing, though.  At the end, a graphic says "Coming Soon:  Back to Hell"
Anyone know if anything ever came of that?

Newsgroups: alt.cult-movies

<..stuff deleted..>

In the NTSC/M markets (US and Japan), there have been up to four versions of
"BladeRunner" continuously available on laserdisc for the last several
years.  They are all the 118 minute European or home-video edition, and not
the "director's cut", which reportedly exists only in rough-cut form.

Ignoring the Japanese edition, with which I am not familiar, we have:

* Criterion Collection CC1120L, $90, CAV, 2.2:1 letterboxed, 4 sides,
  digital stereo, CX stereo, 3M pressing, extensive still-frame supplements.

* Criterion Collection CC1169L, $50, CLV, 2.2:1 letterboxed, 2 sides,
  digital stereo, CX stereo, Pioneer pressing, (no supplements).

* Embassy (Nelson Ent.) 13806, $35, CLV, 1.3:1 panned&scanned, 2 sides,
  CX stereo, Pioneer pressing, (no digital sound, no supplements)

The Embassy LD is also available as an identical VHS release, and neither
can hold a candle to the Criterion editions.

I thought the film was all hallucination starting from the point where
Bill Lee kills his wife.  There is one break when he's in withdrawal and
his two literary friends come searching for him and tell him how great his
book is, but even then the audience sees things from Lee's perspective and
we are still clearly in Interzone.

All the weird things happening in Interzone could be part of the primary
hallucination, or (as I would like to think) more hallucinations within
his first hallucination.  Thus the writing scene with the Arabic Mujaheedin
typewriter actually makes sense within the primary hallucination context:
Fadillah (sp.?) tosses the typewriter out the window because she sees that
an obviously obscene story has been written on it.  From Lee's secondary
hallucination perspective, we see the typewriter turning into some weird
phallic creature which Fadillah chases out the balcony.

All I know for sure is that you can type in the number of an article at the
prompt you get when you are at the end of an article. After articles are on
your account for a certain amount of time, they are deleted from it (not
from the system, I don't think). I am not sure if you can access articles that
have already been deleted from your account. I have no idea how to access past
