That's funny, I'd always thought that line-art type cartoons would

Someone else asked why such a violent man let the cowboys loose.  Did anyone
note the expression of sudden fear on the whorehouse matron's face when she
said that the slashed-up girl had only giggled at the cowboy's little pecker,
then, immediately, said "But she didn't know any better, Little Bill"?  Could 
be that Little Bill has a little pecker, too, and let the cowboys go for 
doing what he could not, being Law and Order and all...  His *leniency* 
cuold be another attempt to "stick it to the women," and the matron's 
*realization* of that could have fuelled her desire for revenge...  (and,
indeed, Bill's violent responses to the bounty hunters, could become 
more "expressable" frustration at being outmaneuvered by the woman).

Surely, the whole episode transcended the physical damage done to that one 
girl.  

Just an idea. :-)

Well, I must admit to being a very critical, very picky theatre buff.
I don't like (on average) 8 out of every 10 movies I see.  But those

Well, there's KNOWING that you'll hate it, and then there's SUSPECTING
that the raves are overblown, but you're curious just the same.  
Yes, I have a general criteria:  I can't stand gratuitous, graphic violence;
I'm too wimpy to see horror flicks; and action adventures usually bore the
hell out of me.  So I stick to films that have something going for them
other than car chases:  unique plot, talented actors, director
with a reputation for quality, "character" films, etc.
But then, there's always those nights when you just want to get out,
or your friend wants to see something mindless and you owe them a favour
after asking them to sit through KAFKA with you....

Well, in order to be entertained, I need the director to suspend
my disbelief.  There's nothing worse than humming along through a plot, 
swallowing everything the director's telling me, and then *WAMMO*,
major plot hole right between the eyes.  It makes fools out of the 
audience, and that's not the way to win them over.

Hmmm, no one's mentioned _Frankenstein Unbound_, adapted (and I mean
"very adapted") from Brian Aldiss' novel of the same title.

I think it's a Roger Corman movie (I have a commercial VHS release on
my rack rack, kinda embarrassing I can't remember). Stars John Hurt
(one of my all time favorite under-appreciated-why-does-he-get-such-
awful-roles actors, another is Harry Dean Stanton -- trivia: they were
together in _Alien_, but I digress) and a really neat car. Actually
has a couple more "names", who I can't remember at the moment. Oh
yeah, Raul Julia plays Dr. F.

Really good movie, IMO, especially since the material is very tricky.
Mary Shelley, Percy Shelley, and Lord Byron are all characters in the
movie...

The book is excellent, but rather different... wouldn't have made
nearly as good a movie as what they ended up with, again IMO.

Reading the recent articles about the anomolies in the BTTF series reminds me of a
scene I have always considered strange.
Why at the end of the first film, when marty has returned and everything is great,
does Doc Brown appear and tells Marty and his girlfriend to hurry up and get in the
car to sort out the events of BTTF part 2.

Hold up a second - What's the rush for. The events aren't going to happen for over
a decade and they've got a time machine. No hurry needed !!!

Sorry, beat you to it. . . Coppola was a guest at the San Diego Comic Con 
last weekend, and gave a big presentation to the assembled crowd, myself 
included. The movie is going to be pretty cool. With the exception of a 
prologue which explains how Vlad Dracula (son of Vlad Dracul) became a 
vampire in the 15th century, the film is very faithful to Stoker's novel. In 
the new expanded theatrical trailer (which was shown to us as well as a 
behind-the-scenes reel) Van Helsing is reading the description of the 
vampire from a book with the label "VAMPYRE" on the cover, I remember Van 
Helsing giving this speech to the assembled vampire hunters in Stoker's 
novel. This is a good sign for us fans of the novel.
	One of the things Coppola said that they did with the production was 
to do a lot of the special effects on the set rather than in post-
production. They also used some antique cameras to get certain shots (Pathe 
silent hand cranked cameras to be exact.) They used techniques of stage 
magicians for certain special effects, such as mirrors, etc. Coppola said 
that they had a philosophy during the filming that the movie would have more 
soul if they used actual techniques used at the turn of the century, i.e. 
when the story takes place.
	The film is going to be very erotic. Plenty of non-explicit sex. But 
then what's a good vampire tale without eroticism. (During the behind-the-
scenes reel there's a sequence in which Coppola is directing Dracula as 
werewolf, as he's about to rape Lucy Westenra, Coppola is shouting "I want 
it more erotic! Much more erotic!" It just about cracked me up, I might have 
if he were not sitting twenty feet from me.) 
	All in all, I'm looking forward to this movie. I think it could be 
really outstanding. Oh, and the music was really good, sort of baroque, and 
really eerie.

I can't wait!

BUT...the terminator we see infiltrate the rebels in T1 does NOT look
like Arnold at all (the one that massacres the humans in the bunker).
This is something I always thought was a glitch in T2. We know that the
reason Terminators were so useful to Skynet was because they looked 
human and so could infiltrate secret rebel strongholds (Reese says
something about this in T1) - well if that's the case it would be really
stupid to manufacture them all to look like Arnold wouldn't it ("Oh
look, guys, there's another one of those Arnold cyborg things - let's
toast it!"). Really the only sensible thing is to make All Terminators
appear different. I mean if you saw Arnold ONCE and had a lot of
trouble, you would NOT forget that face, right?

	I know what he is doing. Starting in November, he is working on
Terminator 3. Should come out 4th of July 1993. Another Cameron/Kassar 
production.

	As Jim Cameron said, "I was always fascinated by the idea of war
for peace"... Mario Kassar added "This is not going to be a cheap movie".

	Well, we all know, now... We have 10 month to wait.

	Gilles.

Hello there!!

Anybody know the name of Rene Russo's character in Lethal Weapon 3?

All that I can remember is that she was a Sargeant.

Answers by email please.

Thanks in advance,

Adrienne
