Clint Eastwood was also in "Francis Joins the Navy", a movie starring
Francis the talking mule.  Francis had more lines than Clint.

   Tony Scott is Ridley's brother and directed the awesome "The Hunger",
right? Is this the same Tony Scott who directed "Top Gun" and "Days of
Thunder". It can't be! Tell me it isn't true. Please?

  Mr Mifune plays in "Agaguk" which was released just few days ago. "Agaguk" is a movie about the inuk people, far north. Lou-Diamond Phillips is Agaguk, an inuk hunter who is chased by a policeman (portrayed by Donald Sutherland) for the death of a white man. Toshiro Mifune is the shaman of this inuk community. It is supposed to be a nice movie, but actually I didn't see it.

  Mifune is really a great actor. I was very impressed by him in "The seven samurais" and in a neo-realistic movie (I don't remember the title but it has "angel" in it) about a frienship between an alcoholic doctor and a wild bum.

Yes, I've seen it at a videostore - two tapes... it's quite long...
I can't imagine it on a television screen as the aspect ratio of the film
made it spread across 3 screens where I saw it (on campus).  Good luck!

the book by Lem is brilliant and obviously helps to understand the film.
After all, the film is a visual interpretation by a russian director of
a polish science fiction story!

There is an unfortunate precedent.  Clark Gable starred in a film called

I expect that if the rumor is true and Costner makes it, he will make it
as a straight biographical film.  Like him or not, Costner has been willing
to take chances on unlikely films, and has shown the courage to withstand
demands to make them more commercial.  Of course, it might still be a
terrible film, as "non-commercial" isn't synonymous with "good".  (For
that matter, "non-commerical" isn't synonymous with "unprofitable", either,
at least not as Hollywood defines "non-commercial".)

Berlin Alexanderplatz is available on video tape. I have rented it a couple

Well, serious films can also have funny moments in them.  In fact a good
chuckle can sometimes put things in perspective.  I think My Dinner with 
Andre was a well made, intelligent film which entertained me in more ways 
than one, so why bother categorizing it as anything other than a good film?

Of course this is different if you worked for Blockbusters....

Organization: Meiko Ltd. Bristol
Date: Fri, 22 Jan 1993 11:03:10 GMT


Nit picking time here...  in Howards End I saw quite alot
of tarmac! Firstly in the opening scenes in London we see
tarmac pavements with pneumatic drill scars. Later when
Emma Thompson travels on the road to Howards End we see
that the country road is also neatly tarmaced. I guess
the period of the film is no later than 1913 judging
by the car and no mention of war. Could well be earlier -
turn of the century?

(Can anybody remember whether there any mention of a date
in the insurance company scenes or does the camera catch
a date on Mr Bass's desk?) Also does anybody know when
England started tarmacing country roads :-) Any civil engineers
care to guess?
Actually I'm surprised that this was not spotted by the film
set designers. (If indeed this is a mistake). 

BTW despite these minor issues I thought the film was
excellent and Emma Thompson, Helena Bohnam-Carter,
Antony Hopkins gave incredible performances.

Sorry Ken, but Harv didn't write that, I did. I never said that it was sea-
water that they used. I said that sea-water has enough O2 in it to basically
prolong drowning. You will still drown. The reason the fluid causes pneumonia
is that it washes out all the protective mucus in the lungs. The Lungs are 
washed clean. This Makes the possibility of getting pneumonia extremely high.

I believe there is a quirk in Reservoir Dogs. When Mr. Blonde is torturing
the cop, the radio is on. But afterwards, I don't think the radio is on.
Isn't that a mistake?

I also think I saw the boom microphone when he's walking back in with the gas.

Did you notice the scene where the warehouse door suddenly opens and 
Keitel goes and closes it? Wonder if that was planned.

What's Tarantino going to do now?

  I have a friend who was one of the divers in the movie.  I hate to contradict
 a few people here, but it took 15 rats to shoot that sequence because the
 rats died. That was not breathable water.

 You can breath oxegenated (sp) water; the only problem is that once  you
 remove the water from your lungs, all the mucus that protects the air sacks
 in your lungs is removed as well.  No one has ever lived after breathing the
 oxi-water. You get pnuemonia almost immediatly and it is absolutely fatal.

 You can actually breath sea water for a short while as it has enough oxegen
 in it to keep you alive, but you will die on pnuemonia again as soon as you
 stop.

  I love the big air bubble in the top of his mask as he goes down.  Those
  masks were almost impossible to see out of because the lights shining on
  the divers face.

  Anyway,
  Todd.

Yeah, like I said, I couldn't recognize the face because of the wet and the
expression, but I wondered if it could have been his first victim.  But Cain
said he was going to dump her in the river (and am I imagining this, or did
we see a scene in the movie where he dumps her over the side of a bridge?).

In any case, weren't there DAYS between him kidnapping Karen and when he
tried to kill his wife?  I mean, his wife had time to have an affair with
her old lover! I don't believe that Karen was in the trunk all that time,
and only woke up when he tried to drown his wife.  Wouldn't Karen have been
awake, in the trunk, pounding on the lid for at least a day before the car
got dumped?

I saw "Manhunter" for the second time this weekend and I was wondering if the
recent discussion, which more or less favoured MH would change my opinion,
since after seeing MH for the first time I was not impressed. I must admit
that the Will Graham character is a bit more interesting than the Clarence
 Starling character, but is much more creepy in the book "Red Dragon", in
which the emphasis seems to be much more on the fact that Graham can really
feel like his psychpathic opponents.
Hopkin's Lecter is a bit more to my test than the Lecter in MH but I can
understand the difference of opinion.
However, what really spoils MH for me is the ending. A shoot-out seems to be
the
only way Michaell Mann can finish a movie, followed by some nice family
reunion in the setting sun. Frankly, these endings get to my stomach.
Even though classic movies can have a brutal ending (e.g. "The Wild Bunch")
it somehow seemed inappropraite in MH, and unfitting to Francis Dollarhyde. 
In contrast, the Lecter phone call in SotL is great and the remark "I am having
 a friend for dinner" deserves to become a classic one-liner. 
Just my opinion,

Reijer Grimbergen
