Recently while watching the video version, I noticed in the credits that they 
even gave credit to the person who wrote "Happy Birthday."  I guess they 
didn't want to get bit again.

Yes.. just when you thought it was safe to travel at hyperspace..... the music
is back.. the stupid scrolling titles are back!!!           
A long time ago.. in a galaxy far far away.... 

There _will_ be a new Star Wars triology based upon the three new books 
written on the triology.. I know the first book is about how this Leuitetnent
of the Empire which saw the destruction of the great star destroyer and the 
death star, and the death of the emporer and vador, took control of the 
few remaining star destrotyers and went hiding away gaining support... 
then slowly he starts to emerge again.. or something!!! It should be 
interestin neverthless!

There has been some mention in this discussion of Catch-22. There's a very
disturbing image in this film where a young soldier is shown to have his guts
just about spilling out of his body. Unfortunately, both tape and laser disk
versions of this film, being pan and scan, have this particular sequence framed
in such a way that only the soldier's upper body is shown and the image has no
effect at all.

     I would like some opinions of what people consider the best shots or
sequences in movie history.  I don't care about the movie as a whole, just
specifics.  Examples/Personal favorites:

     -  The flight scenes in the fires in Always.
     -  The air raid in Empire of the Sun.
     -  The sniper attack in Full Metal Jacket
     -  The tracking shot in the opening of Bonfire of the Vanities
     -  The climax in the basement in The Silence of the Lambs

     I prefer modern movies and those on tape.  Not to say that b&w or older
movies are not exellent, but the audience I have to present these to is a
younger one.  If a scene looses it power when it is not shown in context
then it is a bit of a loss but I would love to hear of those also.  Acting
is secondary to imagery but if the acting makes the scene tell me about it
please.  Thank you all.

During Ripley's debriefing, the Company never stated that it had
sent the Nostromo to LV-426 to investigate a signal.  But because we know it 
WAS sent -the decision to place Ash aboard was a result of "the network" or
other agency picking up the signal before the Nostromo was dispatched.
The Nostromo was probably viewed as a "ship of opportunity" that
would pass by the area in transit, so as not to arouse suspicion by
whatever overseers the Company had to contend with (ICS?).  We can
infer that the Company had interpreted the signal as a warning, perhaps
to a greater level of detail than Ripley had time to do.  How much
detail did the signal contain?  Did it completely describe the Alien?
I would have thought that the discovery of an intelligent life 
form broadcasting anything - even a warning -
would have been extensively publicized - that a SETI program 
of sorts would have been contacted.  Instead the Company decides to keep
the whole matter a total secret from science.

My belief is that even the explaination we are given - getting the
Alien for the bioweapons division - is part truth: they are 
retrieving the weapon to examine it.  It may have been genetically
programmed with a capability to alter its genetic makeup to suit the
host - something hinted at in Alien^3.  The Company may have been 
surprised that a ship from the other civilization had left home base,
and was curious to see why.  Was it enroute to Earth for a counter-attack,
assuming they figured out was  Earth that screwed them?

Because the Company had done the dirty deed, they could not visit the
actual scene of the crime (the home planet of the other race) for
a long time.  The Nostromo was a convenient probe to use to check on
a minor deviation from the Company's plan without getting much
attention.

Well you Greg, it's like this. It's the movies and nobody ever does
things the simple way. Therefore, it makes perfect sense to Ridley Scott
to cast Connery as an Egyptian playing a Spainard. Gee, you think you
would have figured these kind of things out by now. :^}

A more simple reason maybe that Connery was to old to play the part of
the Highlander. Or, given the fact that he received $500,000 for that
bit part in Robin Hood: Prince of Theives, Scott simply couldn't afford
to have him play the part.

Oh BTW, I'm immortal as well. That's why I'm still alive after that

Well, here we go again... 8-)  I just picked up a flyer at the San
Diego Comic Convention for the Park theater which is touting "The
Director's cut of one of the most stylish and influential films of
the past decade... A modern SF classic from the director of
'Alien'".  It also mentions that it's an "Exclusive San Diego
Engagement" and will start Friday 9/11.  So the obvious question of
course is if this is the rough cut that's been already been playing
around the country here and there or is this finally the Ridley
Scott approved/"restored" version that he's been talking about doing
for so long?

I'd have thought Scott would've been too busy with "1492", but does
anyone know? (I imagine I'll give the theater a call anyway)  Please
feel free to cross post this to other relevent newsgroups as I'm not

Serious trivia here, folks.

I'm looking for any information on the following movies, all based on
books written by Harold Bell Wright, obscure Western author and
preacher. I would especially like to know the names of studios. Some
of the books were made into movies more than once. The 1941 production
of "Shepherd of the Hills" supposedly starred John Wayne.

The Shepherd of the Hills (1919, 1928, 1941 [John Wayne], 1951, 1963)
The Calling of Dan Mattews (1936)
The Winning of Barbara Worth (1926)
The Eyes of the World (1916, 1930)
When a Man's a Man (1935)
The Re-Creation of Brian Kent (1925)
The Mine with the Iron Door (1924, 1936)
A Son of His Father (1925)

As I recall, _Fast Times at Ridgemont High_ had similar problems 
(at least on the CED Videodisc version (not laserdisc)). I remember
a note on the sleeve saying some music had been changed for
home video, and indeed quite a few songs were changed on the
soundtrack. Stupid me, at the time I thought the director had
rethought her choices of music and picked songs which worked
better in the various scenes. But now, seeing Amy Heckerling's
collective body of work as a director, I'm sure it was not for
artistic reasons.

Carolco has a few (a very few) dozen films in its library.  MGM had 
a few (a very few) thousand.  The only reason Carolco is getting as
big as an offer as $60 million is that the library includes a few
huge hits, like "Rambo", "Terminator 2", and "Total Recall".
