LD has been around (in the "home theatre" environment, anyway) for about

No, it was done with a robot.  I've seen a tape showing how it was done,

I'm afraid you're mistaken there.  Nicol Williamson played Merlin, not
Arthur as the original poster asked.  Arthur was played by Nigel Terry (Turry?)
another English stage actor.  He can be recently seen in the new ABC series
Covington Cross as the father.  He's aged quite well.  

BTW, for those unfamiliar, Covington Cross is a medieval comedy/drama 
likened to BH 90210 or Bonanza.  Saw the first episode/pilot.  I enjoyed it,
wasn't too thrilled with plot/acting/realism, but it was fun.

Well, I won't quibble with whether you like the movie or not, that's
your opinion of course (you know what they say about opinions anyway,
they're like assholes...everyone's got one, and they all stink).  But
does _trash_ really describe Moonstruck?  One of the subtle things about
this movie is that it plays and feels like an Italian comic opera - complete
with melodrama and ensemble finale, but that still may not be enough to
interest all, so I can understand if one is bored.  But isn't _trash_ really
more descriptive of movies like _No Blade of Grass_ or _Caligula_ or Matt Helm
movies, or _Flesh Gordon_.

This movie may be of interest to certain age groups, I suspect, because of
it's middle-age center.  Boring?  To some, sure.  Trash?  I think you've
tipped over too far there.

How about the dying gangster in the movie Tampopo. Having just been 
riddled with bullets in pouring rain, he describes in wonderful detail, 
what it's like to hunt wild boar when they have been eating the roots 
of sweet potatoes, and after shooting one, how they would immediately eat
their intestines - which were stuffed with sweet potato - all this
while his girlfriend cries over him and the Adagietto from Mahler's
5th Symphony wells up in the background!  GREAT scene!

And from the same movie, the scene where all the gourmet vagabonds sing
their master off - acapella style in perfect harmony.  Very moving.

Yikes! I didn't read the original post carefully enough. You're

I'm so glad that Oldman got it instead.  Lewis (while I think he'd be good)
has enough of the lime-light.  Plus this way Lewis will still be able to 
play opposite Julian Sands' Lestat!

I believe this is Scorcese's _The Age of Innocence_.

And while I'm on the subject of Sands and vampires...

Julian Sands (_Arachniphobia_, _A Room With A View_) is starring in an
up-coming vampire film called _Tale of the Vampire_.  He will play the 
fangless creature of the night in a largely modern setting.  The film was
written, directed, and produced by all Japanese individuals.  It was made
on a small budget (around 2 mil) but rather than making it a bad B flick,
the article I read said this fact proves that those involved were completely
committed to the story, instead of the money.  The idea behind the film is 
to get away from "stereotypical" vampire features...to shoot instead for a 
visual, moody, somewhat gory piece.  _The Hunger_ anyone???

*SPOILERS*

He will be be hunted by "The Man in the Hat", an individual that Sands' 
character turned into a vempire, but was not too happy about it.  This 
role will be filled by the actor responsible for playing the lead cennobite
in the _Hellraiser_ series.  (Name?)

     The original Japanese name for Godzilla is "Gojira."  (goh-JEER-uh)
     Trivia: the footage of Raymond Burr standing around and narrating
     the story was shot in America and edited into the movie for American
     audiences.  (This was in the first "Godzilla" movie, of course.)
