        Well, I might as well throw the above into some kind of perspective. 
Calling any historical figure an "A-hole" is simply a matter of opinion, of 
course, but the particular choice of words says more about the opinion-holder 
than the person described. If someone described Christopher Columbus as a 
vicious, racist slaver who contributed to the destruction of primitive 
peoples, then one can assume that this hypothetical someone has at least 
learned abit about his subject. However, if the same person said "Christopher 
Columbus was an A-hole," I wouldn't expect much more of substantial criticism 
from him.

        For the record, though, I have nothing but contempt for Columbus, and 
have some respect for Malcolm X in spite of serious disagreements over 
doctrine, religious belief and political ideology.

   I have to disagree on this one.  I know exactly what you're talking about
and I believe it is the light from outside that is reflecting off of his
eye's.  If you will recall, the view we have is Leon on the left and Holden
on the right and a window straight ahead.  This view switches from left to
right as the conversation goes on.

   I also noticed that the "glowing" only happens at distinct times.  For
instance, Roy's eye's hardly ever glow.  The seem to glow when the scene
they are in is dim.  Sometime when they are in the dark.  I remember a scene
with Rachel in the dark when her eye's were glowing.

	One can assume that the Voight-Kampf test is the general test of 
humanity, and wasn't developed specifically to detect these 5 replicants.
You'll notice  that the only person it was used on was Rachel, who wasn't
among the 5 pictured.  Holden's applying it to Leon may have been before
all the information about the escaped replicants was available, or he may
just have gotten `lucky' in a separate investigation (I don't think it was
the latter).  Of course, it could just be that Ridley Scott isn't obsessive
about continuity.

Yes, it does.  I think there is a library in Hollywood devoted to
films with more than zero actors.  It is the great ">0 Hall of Films".
It has been heralded as being "Somewhat Less Than Infititely Fascinating"
for many, however less than infinitity, years.  You may want to look
into the "Characteristics of the Western Male" wing.  Many of the
exhibits may surprise you, but I rather doubt it.  Most struck me as
pretty much ordinary w/r/t the rest of the world.

This has nothing to do with the film any more, but how do you arrive
at the conclusion that unrelenting racism and ultra-graphic violence
is a prerequisite for having a possibility to affect the rest of the
world?  A truly loopy comment (or a classic example for quoting out of

What really tickles me is not the merely misplaced geography
inside a city but when one city stands in for another.
People in Chicago and New York are probably accustomed by
now to see Toronto and other Canadian cities stand in for
their towns, but it is still something of a shock to see a
movie that purports to be taking place in Seattle, but is
clearly shot in Vancouver, B.C.

Then there's the extreme case of having one continent make
do for another, as in POINT BREAK where the southern "Australian"
coast was obviously the Oregon coast on a blustery day,
equally obvious, I'm sure, to anyone who has spent time on
either coast.

I have heard of the documentary called "Something's Got to Give," aired by
Fox in December 1990, focusing on that incomplete film of Marilyn Monroe.
I was wondering if anyone out there would have a copy of it, and perhaps
we could make a deal (trade, sale) so that I might have a copy.

As well, does anyone know the deal with the "Something's Got to GIve" tape
available from Twentieth Century Fox from the video set released last month?
The tapes are not here for sale yet, and I am eager to have them, but what
do you have to do to get the special offer?

Can anyone identify this movie:

I think Ralph Machio (spelling? -- the Karate Kid guy) is in it.  What little
of the plot I know... This guy is hiding from someone (maybe the law?).  He
hides out at a high school, where he stays at night.  He befriends a janitor
(who I think is a black musican -- maybe).  I seem to remember a scene of
the guy rollerscating down the halls and tearing down posters of himself.

I know it's very sketchy, but it was a long time ago, and I came in half-way
through the movie and didn't watch a lot.  I do remember one thing very
clearly, and that is the song "Crying" by Roy Orbison is played during the
movie and I think even one of the characters whistles it.

Anyway, if anyone can match the above mess with a movie, could you send me
a title and a summary of the movie for me?  Thanks a bunch.

The Movie Goofs List lists several.  My favorite, which I submitted,
is the car chase in The Last Embrace, which magically crosses from
the US to Canada (at a point where the border is defined by a gorge
approximately 200 feet deep with rapids at the bottom).  A better
question would be: are there movies which are filmed at an identifiable
location and which do *not* take "artistic license" with the geography?

I suspect that there are too many in both classes to make it interesting
to list them.  Living as I do in a city more often used as a movie set
than as a movie setting, I'm not familiar with any examples of the second
type, i.e., those which get it right; but I daresay there are some film-
makers who do take such care.

Three more:

Cooley High (1975) - Described in Maltin as an "inner-city rip-off of

Boyz N the Hood (1991)

Lost In America (1985) - Directed by and starring Albert Brooks.
