I've heard nothing whatsoever about an X-men movie.  Which doesn't mean
it won't happen, but it's certainly not in pre-production or anything.

The fact that it should be a big-budget film, if made, is not necessarily
a problem.  Two of the biggest hits of the summer, "Batman Returns" and
"Lethal Weapon 3", had immense budgets.  There is no sign that the
studios intend to abandon the blockbuster film, though they do plan to
be more selective about them.  (Or so they say.)  Also, don't worry too
much about the stuff you hear about studios in trouble.  There are only
three studios in serious trouble - MGM/UA, Orion, and Carolco.  Of these,
only MGM/UA is a major, long time player, and they are sort of in the
least trouble of the three, as best as I can tell.  Orion was a creation
of the 70's, and Carolco of the 80's.  They've both been around a while,
and made well-known, successful movies, but it's not like we're talking
Warner Brothers or Paramount, here.  One particular problem Carolco has
is that they *aren't* an old studio, meaning they have a very small film
library.  In hard times, the solid value of a film library is a great
benefit to a studio.  One reason MGM/UA is in such trouble is that most
of the MGM libraries belongs to Ted Turner, not the studio.  If they still
owned "The Wizard of Oz", "Gone With the Wind", and around 3000 other films,
they wouldn't be in trouble.

A lot of the Hollywood films of the 1930's and 1940's might contain two
or three songs, despite not being musicals.  "Gilda" is one example that
springs to mind.  Back then, the value of having a hit song in your film
was even greater than now, at least as far as boosting film attendance
was concerned.  (The potential payoff from selling soundtrack albums is
much greater now.)

"Pope gives birth to twins."  It's a New York Times from 1990!

I saw once, on TV, a bowdlerized version in which the line had
been changed to "Mayor's wife gives birth to twins."

Many of the exterior shots, incidentally, were done on the grounds
of the National Center for Atmospheric Research's Mesa Lab in
Boulder, Colorado.  When I worked at NCAR my boss told me that
the stuntman hanging from the "computer tape" had had to drop
past his office repeatedly during the filming.

If, as in the book, Sarah and John have succeeded in changing the
"history" of the future, as they must have to have gotten there,
then what is to prevent some ne'er-do-well from reading some of
the Senator's private diaries and getting the notion that it's

Well, I think it would be a good idea. Our cinema once showed Back to

supposed to be. I went in twice. (Not in a row.) If people can sit

	Sure, it takes a lot of work to make a film like BR.  And
it should be admitted that a lot of good talent went into BR,
in set design, acting, directing, etc....but that does not absolve
the movie of its glaring faults.  People who see the movie and are
dissatisfied with it are going to want to talk about it...that's
what this group is here for, no?
	A movie can show a lot of promise in a lot of departments,
and yet still crash because it lacks a great deal in other areas.
For me, BR is one of those movies.

	Well, since you specificly mentioned LeCarre', and since this is also
my favorite easily available spy film, I would recommend The Spy Who Came In
From the Cold.  In point of fact, the James Bond movie From Russia With Love is
surprisingly straightforward as a spy film rather than a thriller, probably 
because it was one of the earlier Bond films.

	If you can get ahold of them, I would also strongly recommend Tinker,
Tailor, Soldier, Spy and Smiley's People.  These are BBC productions of LeCarre
novels, starring Alec Guiness, and are excellent.  Unfortunately, I don't know
where one can get them on tape.

Woah.  Yer very lucky ya put in that "I like the work of all three actors"

Btw, Jimmy was nominated for best actor in the 86 Oscars for his work in

To answer your first question in a rather literal manner, yes, someone
else saw it, quite a few people, actually.  It was the U.S.'s largest
grossing foreign film, last year, and is still making money in some U.S.
theaters.

To get down to what you probably really meant, I saw it.  Basically,
I thought it was a good, solid film, well worth seeing.  The performances,
especially that of the boy in the lead, were the most interesting part
of the film, for me.  The script relied heavily on coincidence, much
like a moderately bad Hollywood script.  Now, apparently the true story
this was based on actually did feature every bit as much coincidence as
the film version, but I think the director could have done a better job
of presenting the way fantastic coincidences of real life can save us
or doom us than she actually did.  Overall, in fact, I would have thought
that a much better film of this story could have been made.  The power of
the story was such that even this somewhat lesser effort is still worthwhile.

There is an Academy Award controversy attached to this film.  It wasn't
nominated for an Academy Award, because the German film board would not
submit it as Germany's entry last year.  Practically everyone who is anyone
in the German cinema signed petitions to overturn the ruling, but for naught.
The Academy rules do not permit them to override the nation's film board,
so "Europa, Europa" was not nominated, and "Mediterraneo", a pleasant
trifle, won the award.  (In my own opinion, "Raise the Red Lantern" was
a better film than either, and more deserving of the award, but the one
good thing about the way the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar winner is chosen
is that all those voting must see all five nominated films, so "Mediterraneo's"
victory over "Raise the Red Lantern" was a matter of taste, not ignorance.)

I saw the movie and understood that it sucked.
