While I haven't seen the video myself, my sources tell me that the
footage used is from the anime series (Japanese animation) called
"Space Adventure Cobra" by Terasawa Buichi.

Unfortunately, I haven't seen this either.  I am a little behind.

I think that we can all agree about Shining Through :) 

Just thought I would lend Jesper some support; The Player _was_ definitely a
predictable film. It hardly comes as a supprise that hollywood movies are made 
only with a profit in mind, and that the artistic qualities are sacrificed in
the process. Moreover, this subject is hardly relevant for people outside the
entertainment industry.

Besides, wouldn't it somehow defeat it's purpose if it won at the Oscars?

Just another opinion from a buff... (86 movies in 1992)

She and her daughter also appeared together before "Pacific Heights" in a
Stephen King anthology, I believe.  I can't remember the name, but it involved
a scene in a Las Vegas casino.  Was that the "The Ledge" story?

Well, there is an earlier one: "Die Nibelungen" by Fritz Lang (Two Parts:
"Siegfried" and "Kriemhilds Rache" (engl.: Kriemhildes Revenge). The two parts
together cover roughly the medivial german "Nibelungen Tale".

In the January 1993 issue of Byte, on page 334 in the column "Stop
Bit", titled "Cinema By Computer" Roger Ebert manages to say (when
talking about a computer animated sequence he has seen on a film
festival), I quote:
 "...When we were told the truth, I felt a little like Harrison Ford
  when he discovers that Rachel Ward is a fabricant." End quote.

Well hey,... here I have been wandering around for the last 10 years

Who *is* this guy anyway? I've seen him parodied on SNL, and I have

as an added note, pedro almodovar has been accused has been considered
misgoynist because of his treatment of women's characters in his films.
i haven't seen any peter greenaway films, so i can't say why greenaway
is offensive to women (or even if he is).

i *can* say i have seen two almodovar films, 'what have i done to
deserve this?' and 'women on the verge of a nervous breakdown', and
thought that the women characters were very strong characters, not
offensively portrayed. actually, i thought 'women on the...' showed
the male characters to be rather weaker and less stable than the
women. i haven't seen 'tie me up! tie me down!', though, which was
the film that caused the most feminist outrage. perhaps, as a woman,
my perspective on almodovar might change; i'll have to rent it. (and
these greenaway films that people are getting so fired up about).

   If she's 17 now, was she only 16 during the filming?  Just curious ...

afterwards, i went and complained to the manager.  he apologized, and
told me that they have been having a lot of problems with this movie.
he has heard of similar problems at other theaters.  apparently, they
have had engineers check their projection facilities to the point of
counting frames, but nothing has worked.  i think he said that they
have contacted the studio.  but he did say that he thought it unlikely
that the studio (castle rock/columbia, i think) would recall all their
prints and reprint at this point.

if/when i get up the gumption/energy, i'll be sending letters to
castle rock, columbia, century park 12 (the theater in redwood city,
CA where i saw it), syufy (the theater's owner), and local papers.

in any case, if you are planning on seeing this movie, you might want
to wait a while.  there's always the possibility that something gets fixed.
