  Well, I have not read the novel(s). Perhaps I wouldn't like them 
  either :-) Seriously, the first thing I did not understand was
  the beginning, the first act, so to say. The incident between Helen
  and Paul is insignificant to the whole story. In the movie it creates
  the relationship between the two families, but that had begun already
  earlier (in Germany). 
  I could follow the series of events easily enough, except the moment
  when Meg accepted the proposal of Mr. Wilcox, perhaps even too easily.
  Now as I think it (in the middle of the night) what bothered me, was
  something similar that I experienced with the novels of Dickens: the
  characters are types, not persons developing, growing better or worse
  (just think Uriah Heep and Micawbers (?) in "David Copperfield",
  there are a lot of events, but they are basically the same persons
  from beginning to end).
  This is what I think and feel. And I really cannot claim that I understand
  the Edwardian society. I could ask, however, who does understand? The
  person, who has read all Mr. Forster's novels? Hardly. Rather someone,
  who has outlived the era and can analyze the experiences. Moreover
  it depends on what is meant by understanding.

  One more thing: I want to say once more that slow motion upsets me
  nearly always. In this movie it was bad. (One other movie spoiled with
  slow motion was Costner's Dances with Wolves (I didn't like that
  either), just like you were using underlines for a sentence everybody
  knows important.)

Bad.

From what I hear anyway.  I read a very scathing review.  Given the
presmise I gleaned from the review (James Bond meets medieval times,
man-turned-into-frog in modern times who happens to be a detective of
sorts is investigating a case where the alleged evil person just HAPPENS
to be the same exact sorceress who turned him into a frog 7 centuries
ago or something), I'm filing this along with "3 Ninjas" in the category
of movies which look SOOOOO bad that they'll be something really fun for
me to watch if I'm bored and in a weird mood some day (for free of
course, I work at a theater)

People who like to flame articles like this should notice virtual
disclaimers around the whole thing that I haven't seen the movie yet and
am going purely on what I've heard and that this in no way constitutes a
legitimate review of the movie.  So take your flames and shove 'em.

Just saw previews for a new version of Steinbeck's _Of Mice & Men_.

Although Steinbeck is my favorite author (both fiction and non-fiction
read quite well, are full of humanity, universal and timeless), I am
disconcerted with this newest attempt to movie-ize a great piece of literature.
Besides, Peter Falk starred in a SUPERB version (on public television) a
few years ago. 

OK, so here's why it irks me so...

I know that OM&M is presently on the right-winged, neo-nazi, {republican}, conservative hit list for school library censorship.  If this movie is an attempt
to educate the public, AMEN!  Hopefully, the publicity for the movie will
include anti-censorship sentiment.

But in the previews, I noticed that the old, semi-handicapped gentleman --
the one with the old dog (I have no memory for detail; can't think of character's name) -- is white.  Wasn't he black in the book?  So what IS THE DEAL?
I mean, if the movie is an attempt to fight censorship then why does it 
propagate racism???

Can someone help me understand?

I disagree,  If poster has enough knowledge of a person to characterize
her as "so far to the left she can't even walk straight" I think he
should know how to spell her name.  I have no knowledge of her
politics (never watched her), but I know her name.

I disagree again.  The post said "socialist/democrats" not
socialists and/or democrats, and it's my belief that he meant to 
equate the two, not list two separate entities.

Sorry, Gilbert.  He hit a raw nerve.  It seem like McCarthyism (sp?)

I'm posting this message for a friend...

Is there a scene like described below in Die Hard:

Bruce Willis and the first terrorist he gets to kill in the movie (the guy he
dresses up like Santa) roll down the stairs. The terrorist screams and stops
moving. Bruce reaches out his hand to check what the guy has got in his
pockets, and...

...that one I believe, but the following doesn't sound familiar at all:

...the terrorist comes alive again, only to die a few seconds later due to
multiple head injuries because Bruce has been banging it on the stairs
or the railings (?) or something like that.

My friend says he's positive that's what happened. My copy doesn't have any
scene like that, nor do I remember ever having seen it. He especially said he
enjoyed the soundeffects that came with the 'headbanging'...

So, anyone know for sure?!?

I know the terrorist's brother gets his head banged later in the movie, but
this isn't the scene I mean...

The Unicorn scene, which is included in this cut, is a dream sequence
Dekard has when he's at the piano.  The unicorn is connected to the
origami unicorn that Gaff leaves at his door at the end of the film.
It is supposed to indicate that the dream Dekard has is actually an
implant.  Dekard is then a replicant (this arguably clinching proof;
there are other textual clues, such as the glowing eyes; the profusion
of photographs he has, just like Leon; Rachel asking him if _he's_
taken the V-K test, etc.)

I heard that John Woo's latest epic HARD-BOILED is playing up in San Francisco
Chinatown at The World Theater, 644 Broadway Street.  Can anyone confirm or
deny this?  Was there a review in any of the S.F. papers? ... I'm heading up
to the city this weekend to check it out.  The box office telephone message
(which was all in chinese) mentioned Chow Yun Fat's and Tony Leung's name
... which were a good sign.

I saw a fairly fuzzy version on video and I must admit that this film is a
MUST SEE for John Woo fans in the Bay Area (or anywhere).  I think they used
ten-zillion bullets in this one.  This film (like THE KILLER) looks like it
should be seen on the big screen to justify its artistic film-making style.

I thought so too at first. However, the cast listing shows the names of the
actresses who played Laura's Angel and Ronette's Angel. I believe they're
the last two items on the cast list as shown in the movie.

I beg to differ.  The slash is an abbreviation for the word 'or'
although it has also been co-opted into being an abbreviation for
'otherwise known as' or to show things as being synonyms.  Thus, without
further elaboration, you can't really tell whether the original poster
(Hope all those attributions are right, BTW) meant "socialists or
democrats" or "socialists (which are synonymous or kinda close to
democrats)"

	I think the most realistic loss-of-virginity scene I've seen is in
_Mermaids_.  It's not too explicit, but you can tell what's happening,
particularly because the sound Charlotte (Winona Ryder) makes is just
exactly right for the moment of penetration, when it hurts but also
feels sort of good.  Then she looks into the camera, wide-eyed, and says
in voice-over, "This is really happening to me.  This is real." 
Afterward things are awkward, there's not much talking, and then she
notices the major crisis of the movie, and the sex scene is completely
forgotten for a while.  I thought that was fairly true to life.
