But why would f*ck be any less offensive than fuck? One of the reasons that I
oppose bleeping is not to get obscenities played on tv but to get scripts
which are not butchered. I'm not bothered by profanities but I get annoyed
at stupid editing. I can watch a 'profane' movie uncut, or I can enjoy a
'made for tv' or older movie shown the way the people who made it intended it.
I just hate to see other people messing with it, especially since they do such
a bad job of it. If bleeping were not done scriptwriters would have to chose
between obscenities and increased exposure. In movies like Scarface the 
language is an integral part of the movie and should not be changed even 
if it means never getting on tv. At the same time movies like Crocodile
Dundee II would not be peppered with profanities that are as much out
of place as the phrase 'slug in a ditch' was in The Hard Way. It's funny
but I was not the least offended by Die Hard or Scarface but found the 
language in  CD II "jarring".
(P.S. just for the record, this message was entered in 'conversation mode',

Actually, I saw Rod Taylor in a TV series a couple of years ago, but

He looks like a man who has lived a hard life of boozing, a far

not in high demand these days.  It's too bad, I always liked Rod

I didn't have too much trouble with Langella's Dracula, but
Olivier's Van Helsing was a travesty.

Horror of Dracula is one of the more effective adaptations, I
think; Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing have a great on-screen

Well, it's not just for films. In France, playboy-type magazines are not
wrapped up in the back of shelves - some magazine stands put it
INFRONT.
Also, breasts are commonly seen on commercials, whereas in
the U.S it seems taboo (except on cable - this restriction does not
exist in France).
If I recall correctly, movies like Henry and June for example, were shown in a
regular theatre, with NO CUTS.

I know that spoilers really shouldn't matter for a movie based on such a

Well, This movie is >very< different....and, I think, most people will find it
to be strange and weird.

BUT, I loved it. The soundtrack is quite perfectly haunting, coupled with
Michael Ballhaus' awesome cinematography sends you to another world.

The running time is around 2 hours 10 minutes.

I will need to see it again, just to absorb all of it--the scope of the film
is wide.

There will be a 'director's cut' edition released on laserdisc by Criterion 
in Spring of 1993.

I'll ramble on some more, after I see it again in a week or so.

As I remember it, that version of "Dracula" did fairly well at the box
office, and certainly wasn't a bomb.  There may be a certain amount of
revisionism about the publicity campaign of the new version of "Dracula",
since the obvious question about it is, "why another remake of this film"?

By the way, for those in the LA area, the American Cinemateque is showing
a whole slew of Dracula movies, this weekend, including the Spanish
language version shot at the same time as the Lugosi version, the Langella
version, the first of the Hammer versions, episodes from both incarnations
of "Dark Shadows", the silent "Nosferatu", and several others.  Details are
in last Sunday's LA Times Calendar section.

As they say, your mileage may vary, and both Mark and I agreed this
was one of the best films of the year.  It probably won't lose a lot on
video though--it's not a big-screen sort of movie.  If you liked
Mamet's other films, you will like this as well.

I would certainly recommend this over anything else in the theaters now
(except maybe NIGHT AND THE CITY, which is also pretty darn good).

The MPAA has denied this, several times, and has released a number of

I was very impressed with Gary Sinise in OF MICE AND MEN.
 
Does anyone know what other movies he has been in?
