Getting back to the movie: I saw it in a sneak preview last May.  All I can
say is that while the performances are good and the script OK (not great),
the violence (and one scene in particular) was too much for me to stomach.
I would have left the theater (and many others did) except that there were
about 10 people on either side of me, and I am a fanatical believer in
theater manners.

So I pulled a Bill Cosby, and ended up with 30,000 black jujyfruits on my
back... :-)

Actually, I think the fake eyes (glowing eyes) were supposed to indicate
fake humans.  Real humans have real eyes.

OK, so I finally saw "Highlander II" last night, and boy, you guys
were right.  I mean, I knew it would be bad, but I didn't think I'd
hear anything as pathetic as:

"Leaders of the rebellion: you have been found guilty of treason
and are hereby banished from Zeist.  You will be sent to Earth
where you will be immortal.  You can only die if your head is cut
off of your body.  If you are the last of our kind left on the planet,
you get 'The Prize'-- you can return to Zeist, or choose to grow
old and die on Earth" (or something like that).

[of course, this is all said in a deep, menacing, wish-I-were-James-
Earl-Jones monotone voice...]

Yeesh, what dialogue.  On the bright side, my H1 to H2 viewing ratio
is still about 200:1, so I think there is hope I will recover.

I remember people tearing this movie apart before, noting that it
ripped off "Blade Runner" noire settings, etc., but I don't recall
anyone mentioning the hokey "Batman"-ish way they used 1940-50's cars
in the future.  Too bad they didn't rip off more from "Highlander"...

Oh yeah, my real question: is H1 available in widescreen LaserDisc?  
I've only seen regular, Pan n' Scan copies in the stores.

Anyway, I'm off to my first day at my encounter group of newly
subjected "Highlander II/Alien^3/Batman Returns/Godfather III/Star
Trek 5/when-will-they-ever-learn-to-quit-while-they're-ahead" group.

Later,

Uh, excuse me.

(1) Replicants on Earth are illegal.  Do you expect law enforcement
officials to just sit around?

(2) Replicants have killed humans, both in getting to Earth and during their
stay on Earth.  They also proceed to kill people during the movie.  So even
if they're humans, they have to be tracked down before they kill any more.

Subject: BLADE RUNNER in Seattle
Date: 06 Sep 92 21:33:42 GMT
Organization: Microsoft Windows/DOS Users Ed Group
Distribution: pnw

The director's cut of BLADE RUNNER is scheduled to open in
Seattle at the Egyptian Theater on Capitol Hill on Friday,
September 11.

This is a fine-tuned version of the "director's cut" that
played last fall at the Nuart in L.A.; the voice-over was
gone, but some of the Vangelis score was still missing, as
well as some footage, especially a dream sequence.

The original release in 1982, in the same month as E.T., was
mutilated in response to some poor preview reactions
involving the ending and the audiences' ability to follow
the story.

Now, apparently, the film has been restored under Ridley
Scott's supervision to its original, prerelease, prepreview
version. It took 10 years, but the advance word is that the
wait was more than worth it.

This is quite a statement, considering that even assuming this were
true, all you'd have to do would be to have sex with someone who
had sex with someone who had sex with someone..... etc., etc., who
had a greater chance of contracting the disease.  At best, this is
a dangerously false sense of security.  All you have to do is to
either trace the sexual history tree of everyone you contact or
be wrapped in a large baggie, especially around any big city.

	First, Night of the Living Dead (not the remake).  Then, Dawn of the
Dead.  Finally, Day of the Dead.  However, these movies have no characters in
common, and continuity isn't a major issue, so it really doesn't matter what
order you see them in.

  Several posters/e-mailers have let me know that I missed on two answers..

There were 17 007 movies, not 16.. The one I left out was "Never Say
Never Again"..   Many consider "Casino Royale" a 007 movie; I do not,
but if you want to, that's all right too!!

Also, although several 007 themes were nominated for Academy Awards, the
movie "For Your Eyes Only" did not win an Academy Award in 1982 for
movies of 1981.. The movie "Arthur" won the award for that year..

Thanx to all responders...

Yeah, Penn & Teller are the magic-show guys, and I actually enjoy their
work, which is why I rented "Penn & Teller Get Killed" in the first
place.  Sadly, however, the film was a disappointment.  As history has
shown, just because somebody has a funny or novel comedy act, it doesn't
mean you can put them in a movie and expect it to be good.  Sigh...

  Thanks to all those who replied to my above quiery. The general
  consensus is that there is going to be a hollywood remake, and 
  that it will be directed by the original director.
  The nationality of the orignal seems to be a little less well
  defined, offers so far include:-
  german   (thanks brett)
  french   (cheers wayne)
  Dutch    (and this from Peter.)
  Having thought about it my money's on it being dutch.
 Possible cast member include:-
   Jeff bridges.
   Kiefer Sutherland.
   Bridget Fonda (hope so!! ..slurp..drool)
   Peter say that the director is George Sluizer

   *****  slight possibility of a SPOILER   ******









   All I can say is that I hope that we don't get a typical
   hollywood happy ending, although I think thats pretty 
   impossible with this movie, it's just I keep seeing flashes
   of "The Player" crossing my mind.

  Cheers

Yeah, even worse than her "Tarzan of the Apes" and that is saying something. But
I don't think that Golan-Globus <essentially Cannon Films> had anything to do 
with this one. I thought John Derek pretty much did it himself and sold it to

  Surprising.  I remember reading about this from a book "The Magic of

Sorry to do this, but I had no access to the net over the summer, so here

In Alien^3, in the final scene, what is it that is being played over by the
flight recorder (or whatever that is).  I could tell it was Ripley, saying
something, but unfortunately I saw the movie in New York City, so I only
caught every eighth word.  Could someone please post and tell me (if not

Macchio plays  gifted guitar student at julliard who has a yen to play the 
blues. He's out to find a lost blues song and goes to an old folks home to 
find this old black blues man. The blues man agrees to tell him the lost 
song if he'll get him to mississippi (where the blues man sold his soul to 
the devil and wants it back). macchio busts him out, they hit the road, the 
blues man is contemptuous of the macchio, they pick up a girl on the road, 
one thing leads to another and macchio wins the blues man's soul back in a 
guitar duel. At some point the blues man admits there was no lost song. 
Lots of good music by Ry Cooder.
