The problem with 1492 is that it carries with it the burden of being a 
politically contentious film. It's unlikely that the general public is
going to be able to look at it and judge it on its merit for at least 
5 years.

	I saw the latest Clive Barker film, 'Candyman', about a week ago.
Finally a horrer film with what I consider to be an interesting plot.
I liked the way he justified the evil as being born of our own minds,
specifically those of our children (Another Clive Barker 'paradox' theme--
The innocence and gentleness of a child--VS--The horrific evil they create
and support through their innocent fears and superstitions)  
	I enjoy horrer flicks but as I get older, I more frequently walk
out of the theatre disappointed because they just aren't as believable as
they were when I was younger...CANDYMAN was AWESOME!!...A definite improvement
over 'Hellraiser III'

Any other Clive Barker Fans out their?--Let me know what you think...

P.S.--Does anyone know where I can get a copy of 'TRANSMUTATION'(Dir: Clive
Barker)??

P.S.S.--Are their any other films (Besides Hellraiser) the Barker wrote, 
        produced or directed?

Thanx....

Well, does it need any other reasons?  The story is good even if it's
not particularly original.  We all know Shakespeare ripped off his
plots, and Kurosawa stole from him, and Leone stole from *him*, and
none of this prevents at least two of these three from inclusion into
the canon (not much argument on Bill or Akira as far as I can tell).

It's pretty hard to discuss anything other than plot and character
development on the net.  Visual style is just that, visual.  I can't
prove anything about Woo's editing with ASCII text.  At the
traditional 1000 words per frame people might start to complain about
bandwidth even if I did want to got for it anyway! :-)

Anyway, your point is well-taken, I guess if I'm going to be so
insistent on this advocacy of Woo, some convincing arguments are
necessary.  Well, anyway, it's not to be expected that everyone can
agree on these things (the opposite is obviously the case).  I just
like sharing my enthusiasm for those films that are in my personal
canon, that I watch over and over again.  And there are plenty of
films that I enjoy that I don't do this with.

>If you enjoy a piece of

I don't.  And why do you feel obliged to regard Citizen Kane as having
this status?  I think the main reason is simply because from day one
everyone is told what a great film it is, and so much has been written
about it, etc. that everyone just assumes it is great, and when they
see it, they read the film as a classic, a great film, instead of
coming to it with a clean slate.  There are people who are simply not
impressed with Citizen Kane, just as there are people who are simply
not impressed with A Better Tomorrow :-) <sorry, I just couldn't
resist that comparison!>.  I think Pauline Kael might be one of the
former (or is it 8 1/2 I'm thinking of?  Maybe both??).

I read this newsgroup fairly regularly and cannot recall mention of the
movie TRANCERS (aka FUTURE COP in the US I think). Is this considered a
cult movie, did it go on general release and was it a critical and/or 
commercial success? It is like a low budget Bladerunner to some extent.

Yup, they're thinking about making a sequel.  I read about this in...
um...I think the Chicago Tribune.

SPOILERS!























The premise, apparently, is that during their prison stay, Jake and
Elwood are separated and placed in different prisons.  When Elwood
(Aykroyd) is released years later, he learns that Jake has died in
prison.

I don't know what the plot will be--maybe it'll center around Elwood's
efforts to return the blues to Chicago and eliminate house music
altogether from the Windy City.  This could be Aykroyd's opportunity to
reclaim his reputation as a terrific comedic actor, but IMHO I don't
think he'll be able to hack it.

The BBFC can reject a film submitted for classification on ANY grounds, and
videos without a BBFC certificate are effectively banned. Thus, if they 
decide that they don't want any films with "Chainsaw" in the title, they
won't allow any films with "Chainsaw" in the title. Simple as that. 

Furthermore, film makers have no right to appeal - they either stick by the
BBFC's (unwritten) rules, or they can't (legally) distribute their film.

Nice to see another ITF reader out there. I suppose TCM has quite a good
chance of a rerelease, now that we've had the return of (cut versions of)
The Beyond, City of the Living Dead, Zombie Flesheaters, Shogun Assassin
etc. Trouble with TCM is that there's nothing to cut - it's the general 
tone of the film that made it so notorious. We can only wait in hope....

Date: Thu, 5 Nov 1992 23:10:05 GMT

Just to let the Argento-philes know, Cinemax premiered "Two Evil Eyes" last
night, an anthology film split between George Romero, and Dario Argento.
IMHO, the Romero piece is a waste, but Argento turns in the best Poe
 adaptaion <in spirit, not that literal> since Fellini did
"Toby Dammit" for "Spirits Of The Dead" <I Think...>. Good stuff, with
a nice job by Harvey Keitel as the lead..

Now for the question:
<Weird one, sort of>

A friend of mine has this song that he taped off of local public access
radio. It's called "My Name is Anthony Gonzalves" <sp>, and is sung in
a mixture of english and maybe hindu<????> The deejay says that it is
from a movie from India that was quite popular, but gives no title or
artist.
It is among my friends favorite songs, goofy as it is, and I would like to fin
some information on this film for him, or better yet, a NTSC copy of it that
I can give him for his birthday.
Absolutely any help that anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated,
and perhaps rewarded.
Thanks so much!

Some guy running for senate?  Actually it was former California Governor
Jerry Brown, who was running for the Democratic Presidential nomination.

The scene *was* hysterical.  At first, you heard Jerry's voice, but didn't
see him.  Then, there was this bizzare hissing sound, like cats fighting.
Short pause, then the sound starts again, but Jerry has leaned over, into
view of the camera, shooting nasal spray, with the lapel mic picking it up
in all its glory.  *I* thought it was funny.

I can understand criticism of FEED that's been posted.  It was dry and boring
at points.  But it was also quite revealing.  Again (and please correct me
if I'm wrong), I believe that the people who made FEED also did "Blood in the
Face", which was in the same boring, revealing style.

Yup, definately a John Carpenter film. Came between "Prince Of Darkness",

As another poster suspected, this is indeed idiomatic Swedish.  A better
