I beg to differ.  I think Altman knew he was violating the genre by ending  
things that way; he was poking it and kicking it in rather unfriendly ways all  
the way through. (Do you remember the music on the soudtrack? (I abstain from  
spoilers on this.))  If it was intentional, it may be objectionable (depending  
partly on one's affection for Chandler's tradition), but it is not "just plain  
*wrong*".

[Please hold your fire through the next paragraph:]

Some people (e.g. Pauline Kael) have an even more general theory about Altman  
in the early '70s [please hold your fire:]  He made films having (some of) the  
trappings of well-established film genres, but deftly dismantling the  
conventions of the genre so that by the end they are revealed to have nothing  
at their core.  By the early '70s, Altman had been working in film and  
television for something like a couple of decades, so he knew the conventional  
forms well, but became convinced, as so many did, that the old ways were  
fundamentally inadequate to the (then) present predicament of American culture.
(M*A*S*H: a war movie, The Long Goodbye: a detective movie, McCabe and Mrs.  
Miller: a western, The Player: a movie about hollywood(!?), Nashville: um, umm) 

That last paragraph is perhaps a lot of hot air, but it does suggest an  
interesting way to think about why Altman's films seem so "strange" or "wierd",  
and I think The Long Goodbye provides some of the strongest support to such a  
general view about Altman's best work (or at least some of it).

[BTW, I was able to attend most of the Altman retrospective at the Walker Art  
Center here in Minneapolis last spring.  I saw McCabe and Mrs. Miller, The Long  
Goodbye, Brewster McCloud, and parts of Tanner '88 (from HBO) for the first  
time ever, and M*A*S*H and Nashville for the first time on good equipment.   
Having been bowled over by my first viewing of Nashville about 3 years ago, and  
then seeing Secret Honor about 2 years ago, I found the concentrated dose of  
Altman very (if not uniformly) enjoyable.  (I fell asleep the only time I ever  
tried to watch Quintet.)]

It opens here (minnesota, that is) on Christmas Day.

It also stars Rita Rudner and some other people who I've managed to forget.
I can dig out the promo if anyone's interested.

This is a Hong Kong movie that's popped up at the Vancouver International
Film Festival; if it turns up in your neighborhood, by all means see it! It's
a cops vs. triads shootemup with a higher body count than the (Iraqi side) of
the Gulf War, but it's done with such tongue-in-cheek enthusiasm that all you
can is sit back and laugh. Rival arms smugglers evidently employ whole armies
of cannon fodder who rarely hit anyone before being ripped to bits. The HK
cops scream at each other a lot in their harbor-view offices, then go off to
conduct gory raids in tea shops and warehouses. If this is the way they
enforce the law in Hong Kong, the People's Republic won't inherit anything
but a lot of broken glass and shell casings.

Just saw DEAD AGAIN this weekend, great movie, but I have one question
about it. (Sorry if it has been discussed before).

In hypnosis Amanda sees the male main character (can`t remember his
name) in her past life. She then wakes up and says something like: You
were there, You were trying to kill me. And we saw Mrs. Strauss in the
bed. That must meen that Amanda is Mrs. Straus, but then later we
learn during male characters hypnosis that HE was Mrs. Strauss.

Would anyone like to commend on this and please try to explain it.

Thanx a lot !!!

No, he has sold out!  Sacrificing his artistic integrity to the whims

This pissed me off actually...  I liked those three-word titles...

First, he was ABOVE THE LAW.  Then he was HARD TO KILL!  And *then* he
was MARKED FOR DEATH!!  After *that*, well, he was OUT FOR JUSTICE!!!

I was really looking forward to the next one.  My brother had what I

"B E Y O N D   T H E   I N F I N I T E"!!!!

On the other hand, maybe we can now look forward to a series of four

I believe he also guest starred on Star Trek the Next Generation where he
played a hologram of a weapon salesman from a civilization that had wiped
itself out with its new self-adapting weapons.

My favorite obscure actor is Freddie Jones.  I just get a kick out of seeing
him pop up in the least expected places.  He was some sort of security advisor

Howat in Dune.

Sorry if this is a FAQ: Comparing Clint Eastwood's earlier films,
(The Spaghetti westerns, Dirty Harry, etc.) and his more recent
ones (Pink Cadillac, etc.) it seems the *MASS* of hair, which he 
had in the earlier ones, has receded to a barren desert!
Considering how much hair he had a few years ago, this loss is 
phenomenal. Does anyone know if he wore a toupe in his earlier

I remember having seen a movie with Peter Sellers as a schoolteacher

the dancer from the postcard, whose name I believe was Lolita.

When I rented a movie called Lolita (with Peter Sellers), it was
a totally different movie (B&W). I'm beginning to question my own
memory of whether the leading character was Peter Sellers at all.
The movie was in color, and it seemed the setting was in England.
Maybe a British movie? Any ideas?

I have no idea what movie you're talking about, but I happen to have
Arvo (yes, Arvo, not Avro) Pa:rt's (that's an umlaut on the A) CD
called "Tabula Rasa", which does contain the piece of the same name.
It's on ECM 1275.  No synthesizers though!  I first heard the 12-celli
version of "Fratres" on the radio several years ago and I was
similarly mesmerized (it's on the CD too).  Fantastic music!
