I believe they filmed it in Milwaukee, in the stadium the Brewers
play in.  Gave it a nice paint job, and added some padding on the wall,
I think.

In the book, all of the younger Indians had the mohawk style 
haircuts.  I concur about the shooting.  Most Indians were 
apparently poor shots, mostly because, unlike the whites, they
did NOT have lots of extra ammunition to practice with.  My bigger
quibble is how many guns the Indians in the movie had. At that
period in history, most of them were (I believe) armed with
bows and arrows.  Guns were reasonably rare (though perhaps the
French were supplying guns?).

As a side note here, I recently read the book and it was better
than I expected.  It took a while to get used to the prose
style, but after the first 50-75 pages, I was drawn into much of 
it (despite having low expectations, since I've read Clemens
essay on Cooper).   The movie captures much of the spirit of
the book, though differs in detail quite a bit. The biggest
difference in spirit is in the portrayal of the English, who
are definite good guys in the book, and a bunch of jerks in
the movie.  (A Boston Globe reviewer, obviously trying to pretend
he was familiar with the book, stated that the anti-British
feeling is reasonable since the book was written not long after
the War of 1812.)

A lot of times the people who make these trailers use songs or music that
wasn't in the movie.  Music from "Aliens" was used in the "Deceived" (sp?)
trailer, Peter Gabriel's "Big Time" was used in "Big" trailers back when it
came out, and Public Image Limited's "The Body" was used in the "Freejack" 
ads.  None of these appeared in the movie that was being advertised.

No, you're right.  Some of the scenes parallel quite nicely.  Did you notice
Keanu Reeves drinking Falstaff{ beer in one scene?  Nice little touch.  And it
was even before one of his Shakespearean rants.

There were a few bizarre touches to the film - The house falling, the sex

I noticed this myself. The 2.35:1 aspect ratio was probably
achieved by matting a 35mm frame, as many movies today do (ie.
Terminator 2, Star Trek VI). There are a lot of places in which
the composition of the shots does not seem to have been
calculated to take full advantage of the theatrical aspect
ratio; one that springs to mind comes right after one of the
first battle scenes, when Hawkeye and Cora are crouched
together in a bush trying to avoid an enemy war party. Although
both could easily have been shown on the screen at the same
time, Mann cuts back and forth between their faces as they
talk. Not that this proves anything, but it struck *me* that
this won't be hurt much by P & S. 

And frankly, I wonder if those who say this is _Lawrence of
Arabia_ with trees have seen that film recently. It looks, in
contrast with LotM, composed for the 2.35:1 ratio.

I flame back,
Steve

A group of about 12 of us are about to start up a mailing list for
people working in theaters, i.e. mostly projectionists/managers.

Since this is nearing final stages of preparation, I'd like to be sure
that we aren't duplicating any existing list.

We also plan to have some sort of technical FAQ dealing with questions
about the actual exhibition of motion pictures, as opposed to discussing
the content of movies.  i.e. instead of questions like "So, is Total
Recall a dream or not?" we'll have things like explaining the reel
change spots, and why prices are so high at the movies.  This FAQ will
be posted to r.a.m. periodically.

Please do NOT at this point mail me (or worse, post) asking to be added
to the list.  We're not ready for that yet.  All I need to know right
now is that we aren't about to create a redundant mailing list.

Thanks...

3)  What old Clint Eastwood movie can be seen playing on the TV
    set in the movie, "The Rookie"?

4)  "Brothers" was the working title of what Woody Allen film?

5)  "I Am Legend" by Richard Matheson inspired three films, one
    in 1964, one in 1968 and one in 1971.  Can anybody tell
    me the names of these movies?

And the killer........

6)  As a marine, he claimed to have participated in the World War II
    invasion of Tarawa wearing pink panties and a bra beneath his 
    uniform.  He's now remembered for writing and directing inept 
    exploitation films.  Name him.

Any answers would be appreciated.  These questions are from a list

My favorite example:  this summer, I saw ads for the recent vampire
movie which featured Meryl Streep (I forget the name).  I was amused
to note, even as they flashed the credit for Alan Silvestri's music,
that the score in the ad was the title theme from HBO's "Tales from

I dont know about Barton Fink, but much of the script was taken/modified
from Shakespeare's 'Henry IV' (If I am wrong please correct me).  I thought
that the modern parallel of this play was excellently, and plausibly done.

Cinematographically it was handled in a 'stage'-like manner, proving (I found,

In the director's cut, which is the only one that contains the unicorn
scene, it's safe to say it's going to be a short one regardless of
Deckard's status, since Rachel definitely is a replicant, and the
director's cut, to my knowledge, does not have the
