Sorry for the tangent, but every time I watch this film
I'm reminded of the incredible performance Goldblum gives
in it. I can think of three Cronenberg films where the
leading actor carelessly got snubbed when it came time
for Best Actor nominations:

Christopher Walken- The Dead Zone
Jeff Goldblum- The Fly
Jeremy Irons- Dead Ringers

Certainly not the sort of roles which normally get
acknowledged at Academy Award time, but extraordinary
performances nonetheless. Oh well...

Who was the centerfold in "Under Seige"?

What other movies has she been in?

Is it possible she is the Playboy centerfold for that issue

I've seen Papillon from the time he goes into solitary to when he escapes and
gets to Honduras about 5 times, but never past that point.  Could someone 
email me a summary of the rest of the movie?

Also, in the beginning, how did he get to the prison?  What was his crime? 
And, what did Dustin Hoffman do to be incarcerated?

Any response would be great.

Wrong. "Looters" was a film starring Ice T and Ice Cube, and though also
from Universal Pictures, it is a different film completely. Its title,
since the riots, has been "Trespass".

Part of the problem with this sort of "goof" anyway is what do 
you call a goof and what is simply the "stage" for on-location
shooting?  Is it a goof that someone can look at the mountains
in Last of the Mohicans and say "They say the mountains are in New  
York, but those are clearly in North Carolina."  How about in The 
Deer Hunter when they go hunting in what is supposed to the mountains 
of Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia and the peaks are 
snow-capped?  Or Dawn of the Dead when a helicopter in Philadelphia 
flies past the US Steel Building (which is in Pittsburgh).  

I'd say no to the first, maybe to the second, and yes to the
third, but this is subjective. Someone who spent a lot
of time in the North Carolina mountains might say yes to the first,
while someone who didn't grow up in Pittsburgh (and thus didn't
recogzine the US Steel Building right off) might say no to the 
latter.

Hmm, never saw that one.  But there IS a deficiency of decent horror movies. 
Everything now seems to be oriented towards the gore method, which doesn't
scare me one bit.

The better movies as far as tension would have to be for me Jaws (classic
thriller), Alien, Reanimator (damn good), Evil Dead I (2 was more humor), The
Thing (Carpenter's best), and I'm sure I'm missing some of the best ones.. but
these come off the top of my head.

Have there been ANY good flicks lately.. I don't think so.  Disappointing.

I'm a diehard Jodie Foster fan and would like to know when to expect

quite a while by now. I'm not so sure what to expect from that project, as I

decent as the ones hitherto have been.

OK, I've seen "The Giant Claw".  Yeah, it was bad, but probably
typical for the time period.  I don't consider a movie "bad" unless it
fails to hold my interest or get anywhere.  "Laserblast", IMHO, was
worse than "The Giant Claw".

I just saw a TV ad for Candyman, what appears to  be Yet Another Slasher 
flick.  Nothing against this genre, but I don't follow it closely.

Anyway, I -swear- I saw something in the quickie credits following the 
commercial.  "Music by Philip Glass".  I've seen the commercial twice and I'm 
rather sure of this.  Now I am a big fan of Glass and his wonderful scores for 
films like Koyaanisqatsi, The Thin Blue Line, etc.  But...Candyman???  Doesn't 
fit into the artsy-film type I usually associate with the guy.

Does anyone know anything about this, to verify or laugh at the idea?  Has 
anyone seen the movie who can comment on the music?  Am I just confused?

Actually, the song used in Patriot Games, was "Theme from Harry's
Game". "Harry's Game" was a British mini-series made in 82 or 83 (I
think), about a British agent who infiltrates the IRA.

Yes, yet another person who is trying to find a continuity error in
that marvelous movie, Dead Again. And yes, I really do understand the
story, so I think this is a qualified quibble. However, if you didn't
read the subject, and have not seen the movie, DO NOT READ THIS!!!  Go
see this incredible movie first and don't ruin it for yourself!




















OK, here we go - there is ONE problem with Grace as Roman and Church
as Margaret. We see two scenes during Grace's hypnosis that are
strictly private conversations between Margaret and Gray, the
newspaper reporter, that Grace remembers. If she were Roman, she
shouldn't be able to remember those - Roman was not present!

I also thought of a possible way around this, since I hate to find any
flaw in logic of what was, IMO, one of the ten best of last year. Each
of these conversations were probably repeated in great detail during
Roman's trial by Gray. Margaret could have been painting a picture (as
an observer, remember) based on the information Roman heard during the
trial. But it's still fun to think of...

	First, in Amanda's hypnosis scene they intentionally leave it 
ambigous which character she is in the flashbacks.  The viewer assumes
she is the female.  However, if you watch the film again, it is clear
that this is probably a misconception even in the viewing of her
visions.  She sees a disjoint third person scene because the hypnotist
told her to detach herself from it.  She is telling the story, not
recreating it.  When we see the action from the Kenneth Branaugh's
view we see a first person account of the action and realize that he
was the Mrs. and Emma Thompson's character was the male.  Your
confusion is very understandable.  I didn't get everything until the
second viewing of the film.  The reason Amanda said you were there you
tried to kill me is because she like the audience assumed she was the
female in the flashback, again becuase she had detached herself from
the painful reality of the situation.  I hope this answered your
questions. Let me know if it didn't.

How could you have forgotten 'Cool World' so quickly--or perhaps all of you
were smart enough not to let a friend talk you into seeing it...
(I'll never forgive him.)

As for funny-bad, 'Wizards of the Lost Kingdom' has to be on top. It even
starts with a summary of the film--complete with footage used later on!
Actually, to tie this into another thread, there was a sequel that starred
David Carradine (scary, how much this guy gets around), but it wasn't as
funny.

The way you trimmed this article makes it look, at first glance, as if 
I posted the sarcastic remark "Its pronounced smith." (You can tell
by the extra ">" that I did not, but at a glance it is unclear.)  I had
posted a response to the original sender whose text, along with mine,
was obviously deleted.

In the future, if you remove someone's text from the post because you
are not responding to what that person wrote, you should also remove the 
line that designates the writer of that text so that there is no
confusion.  This will prevent the possible error of having quotes
attributed to someone who did NOT, in fact, make those statements.
