The very limited info that I have on it is that it will be released
around the U.S. Thanksgiving Weekend. It is suppose to be one of the
biggest movies of the Christmas Season along with Home Alone II.

Oh yes, it has been given an R rating for extreme violence and sexual
situation. Hmmmm, Wiona Rider is in it as well. could be interesting.

While we are noting things, we might want to also note that while Clint 
Eastwood does not give many interviews, one things he consistently insists
is that his films are not the slightest bit political.

  Okay, forgive my total ignorance of the German language, but I have
seen written somewhere that the German title of this film translates as
"Angels Over Berlin" (truly uninspired) - could this be so?? Either way,
I agree with the original poster that "Wings of Desire" is a more poetic
title, and, given the contents of the film, is a better title anyway
(poetry aside).

Subject: DRACULA : Little Tidbits

Here is something I found in our newspaper a while back her in Toronto and I
now use it as a bookmark while I am reading Bram Stoker's Dracula :

     'Francis Coppola's long awaited, much discussed Bram Stoker's Dracula
      will go onto the U.S. marketplace in late November with no stiffer a
      rating than Restricted, says Columbia Pictures chairman Mark Canton.
          Reports have surfaced that scenes in the picture are so gory that
      they moved people at a test screening to vomiting.  An absolute lie,
      insists Canton, who says, "I was at the screening -- there was only
      one screening -- and I can tell you people sat through it on the edge
      of their seats, eating their popcorn."
          Some have labeled Winona Ryder's relationship with Dracula (Gary
      Oldman) as "ultra-erotic"'

Ultra-erotic??  So gory people were Ralphing at the test screening????
I sure hope this one doesn't end up getting cut to bits....I can't wait...

Which leads me to a question.  What will happen to Mia's film career now?

Everyone is speculating on what will happen to Woody's career, but since
it appeared (at least in her late career), that Mia's performances were
isolated to Woody-flicks, I wonder if she will have the desire, or any
studio will have the desire, for her presence on screen?

It is Mika Kaurismaki (last a is with dots over it) and he is Finnish
director. The movie "Zombie and the ghost train" is telling Finnish
guy's problems and how he solves them. "Ghost Train" is different movie
than "Zombie and the ghost train".

Firstly as no doubt has already benn pointed out the UK uses
PAL which is incompatible with the US NTSC.  

More importantly the reason that Europe gets extended
version on disk are twofold one LaserDisks have a very low
penetration and secondly the PAL format has a higher
sesolution making the showing of Letterboxed editiona
sensible.

Nope, but he was originally announced by Warner as being the lead 
(they had plans to make it a B movie) and Heddy Lamarr was announced
as the female lead.  But neither of these were facts yet.

As it turns out it was just a studio shooting off it's mouth too early.

I have the 50th anniversary book (thanks Jesse!) and the story of this
wonderful movie is truly amazing to read!

   Since I asked the same question I'll answer too.  
   
   (WARNING: spoilers)

   I often find movies (and books) that start slow work up to a powerful 
ending.  Barton Fink did move slow but the characters were being developed
and the plot was becoming more interesting.  When the writer's girlfriend
was murdered and the neighbor left the package behind it seemed to be
getting to the meat of the movie.  The fact that it then went into
never-never land instead of twisting and turning it's way to a wonderful
denouement was dissapointing.  In my humble opinion, it was the last
15 minutes that failed, not what came before.

   Maybe you and your friends watch too many Hollywood movies.  


   But since you found the last 15 minutes so interesting maybe you 
can explain what no one else has:  What did it all mean?

"The Jerk" has had music changed in it, too.  Very annoying.

  If you liked that one, then really try to catch 'Failsafe' on cable. It is
much superior, and there are way too many paralells between the stories; i.e.
I suspect BDEL 'borrowed' from this classic. Once you've seen Failsafe, you 
won't like the other too much.

* They have never married nor have they ever lived together.  
   They live on opposite sides of Central Park; he on Fifth Ave., 
   she on Central Park West.

* Allen has filed for custody of the three children
   he has with Farrow (two adopted, one natural-born).

* Farrow has eleven children, seven of which are adopted.

* Allen has admitted having a current affair with Soon-Yi
   Previn Farrow, whom Farrow adopted while married to Andre
   Previn.  Various reports have Soon-Yi anywhere between
   18 and 21 years old.  According to Allen, the affair has been
   going on for seven months.
   (Celeb divorce lawyer Raoul Felder has said that while this is 
    technically not incest, Allen certainly appears to have taken 
    advantage of his position.)

* Farrow has recently adopted two other children (whom Allen
   did not adopt).  One is an eight-month-old crack baby,
   the other is a 12-year-old blind girl.

* Farrow's mother is Maureen O'Sullivan, who has been very
   vocal in her criticism of Allen.

* In Allen's movie 'Manhattan', he plays a 42-year-old man who has
   an affair with a 17-year-old.  At one point the Allen character
   exclaims, "I'm dating a girl who does homework!"

* Allen has a new movie called 'Husbands and Wives' coming out soon.
   It stars himself and Ms. Farrow.


Here's what's being alleged:

* Farrow found out about Allen's affair with Soon-Yi when she
   discovered nude photos of Soon-Yi that had obviously been
   taken in Allen's apartment.

* The Connecticut State Police are investigating allegations
   of possible child abuse by Allen involving the seven-year-old
   girl adopted by Allen and Farrow.
  [ If this is true, Allen is a dead man, IMHO. ]


Allen's reputation in NYC is doing a free-fall right now.
All indications are that this is only the proverbial tip of
the proverbial iceberg, that there is a lot more story still
to tell.

Allen's strong desire for privacy has always been respected by
the press.  No more.  His life is being blown wide open.

Hope this helps:

    To the best of my memory, Judgement Day was August 29.
I forget the exact year. . . 199? something.  I remember
the date because it's my birthday as well.  (It's Michael
Jackson's also, which people gleefully point out to me, and
which I hate them for.)

    In any case, I *think* I'm right, but if I'm not, please
don't hunt me down and kill me.
