I just saw Reservoir Dogs last night, and with a couple of exceptions, I thought
the story was logical and tight.  But those exceptions kept nagging me ....
Maybe someone out there can put this to rest.

1.  If Joe knew Mr. Orange was a cop, why did he risk himself by going
    to the rendevouz place?  If he's so smart, wouldn't he stay away?

2.  Mr Orange told the tortured cop that the police was only a few blocks
    away.  I think (but am not sure) Mr. Orange said that the cops were
    waiting for Joe to come before raiding the place.  In any case, 
    the cops must of known where the hiding place was going to be since
    Mr. Orange was informing.

    So the big question is why didn't the cops come sooner????!!!!  They
    should have known that the tortured cop was missing, that they the
    sounds of bullets were flying, that Mr. Blond went to get gasoline,
    etc. etc.  The cops would not have waited for Joe if potentially
    two cops were in mortal danger.


Help me please!! I really really liked the film, but I can't "love it"
until someone clears this up.

"Wholesale" is a short story, maybe six pages.  It bears only a passing

Just saw the movie on tape recently, even though it was filmed quite

I remember this cheeze fest.  I've got to say I 
think it is defenately one of the worst movies
or all time.  I didnt even finish watching it.
It is the only movie I have ever turned off before
it was over, and I go out of my way to rent low
budget sci fi movies and the like.  But for
that reason I might actualy recomend it.

This past Gregorian calendar new year celebration Friday I watched the 
Sci-Fi channel and was treated to a delightfully terrible futuristic 
movie a la Logun's Run called "Z.P.G. (Zero Population Growth)".  Good 
ole Geraldine Chaplin (Chapman?) looking winsome and pensive at the same 
time and Oliver Reed in a stellar wooden performance!  The story in 
brief: Bad air...too many people..no one allowed to have kids, punishable 
by death (slow suffocation in a town square) People wanting kids must 
buy little android dolls of various ages.  Well Geraldine decides to 
rebel and get pregnant.  You guess the rest.
 
A brilliant piece o' garbage.  Tacky sets, tacky clothes, vapid dialogue. 

After this I switched to the end of the Hercules Marathon on TNT to catch 
that all time fav...Captain Sinbad with Guy (Dad from Lost In Space) 
Williams in the title role.

Yes siree.  The holiday CAN be fun after all!

.......................................................................
 Not that much taken with THE COMPUTER CONNECTION.....
but as long as we are taking about SF into film the new future-fiction
SF show spinoff of Star Trek and other such like makes me think
of the perfect prose series for film or TV adaptation would be
Poul Anderson's super sophisticated space opera. Of particular
merit would be the Flandry of Terra novels and stories. It would
be like doing doing the next step up from Star Trek. One would have
all the adventure and action and space opera, but at a higher level
of thought. This is not the best SF Anderson has written but it seems me
to be something of a higher popular appeal. If done right of course.
Almost the end evolution of space opera a la Doc Smith.
We got Doc Smith finally done right with Star Wars (with a little
SF from the 40's thrown in), now it would be nice to bring SF past
Star Trek and Star Wars up Campbell's utlitmate form in Anderson's
SF. (Alas that    filmed DUNE missed that mark!)

I have seen Police Story 3 and I still think the first Police Story is the best.
IMHO all of Jackie Chan's recent movies, actually, I'm only referring to
Twin Dragon and Police Story 3, is somewhat a letdown.

If you want good action film, try "Hard-Boiled" directed by John Woo. Lots of
violence and good story. I think this is better than Reservoir Dogs.

I don't know about anyone else, but the last scene in this movie between
Miou Miou and the klutzy businessman (where she has him read to her) is
as moving as anything I have seen in years.  And unlike most of the
sentimental crap pushed by American producers, it isn't the least bit
hokey.

La Lectrice is on my top ten list.

A few "oldies"  (late sixties to seventies) that I can recommend:

King of Hearts - one of two truly anti-war movies that I have seen.
                 (The other is an American film called "Hell to Eternity"
                 which stars David Janssen before he became the fugitive
                 and before anti-war sentiments were chic.)

Alexandre - About a French farmer who, after his pushy wife and in-laws
            are killed in a traffic accident, decides to stop working and
            spend the rest of life in his bed.  (The name in the title
            is the name of his dog, also prominent.)  The farmer's
            early retirement arouses opposition from the rest of the
            town who attempt just about everything to get him out of
            bed.  A few rough spots, but generally good farce.

The Mad Adventures of Rabbi Jacob - About an anti-Semitic French businessman
            who is being chased (by mobsters, I think) and poses as an American
            rabbi visiting France.  This delightful romp has something to
            offend just about everybody.

The Sicilian Clan - A great gangster flick.
