This weekend we rented "Hot Shots" (i.e. "Airplane" meets "Top Gun").  It
started with the leader/preview to the movie.  There it was called alien^3.

BTW, what's the joke with the chihuahua?  (Throughout the movie people keep
sitting on a chihuahua; is there some movie reference that I'm missing

I saw on a Comedy Central program the lady playing Lt. Uhura talking about
part 6.  But what REALLY got to me was when she said that the company
making the ST movies (Columbia? Paramount?) had issued an ultimatum.
Basically, if ST6 made more than $60 million gros, then there would be
a Star Trek 7!!

I need to apologize for my posting; some people seem to have interpreted it
as an attempt to condone date rape.

That is a rather far-fetched interpretation of a dumb joke; the actual intent
was simply that it is so hard for me to believe that there are netters who
would condone it that any assertion in favor of it HAS to be a joke.

Certainly the subject matter is not.  I once met in the Army an NCO who
boasted to me about how he and a friend took turns orally raping a
Vietnamese girl while holding an M-16 to her head.  He may have been
putting my little FNG self on ... but it was certainly not beyond his
capacity.

Anyone who is that primitive makes discussion of the issues a little hard
to take seriously as no discussion save one based on the ruthless
application of force would make any impression on him at all.

But I apologize for my dumb and crude joke.  I flatly assure all and sundry
that I have never committed and do not condone rape of any sort --
forcible, date, statutory, or whatever -- and that if they are actually
trying to stop this menace rather than find some occasion for posturing
they find a more useful target to vent their righteousness on.

He also said that the tracheotomy was enlarged AFTER JFK's body
left Parkland. When Crenshaw wrapped the body in a sheet and put it
in the coffin, the tracheotomy was only an inch wide. When pictures
from the autopsy in Bethesda were released, the tracheotomy was 
3 inches wide. Crenshaw believes this was done to make people
think the throat wound was an exit wound, when in fact it was an
entrance wound.

20/20 also interviewed the former Chief of Staff who admitted to
threatening to ruin the Doctors and Nurses careers if they told
their stories for profit. 

Crenshaw is also one of many Parkland staff who saw cerebellum leaking
out of JFK's head wound. The cerebellum is at the base of the brain,
and would only be seen if JFK was shot from the front, blowing part of
the back of the skull off. Cerebellum material is distinct in color
and shape from the rest of the brain. So many trained medical staff
could not be wrong. JFK was shot from the front.

Crenshaw saw a 9-10cm wide hole in the base of JFK's skull.

  "The Thing" (original, not the John Carpenter remake) used a bodybuilder
for the title character, up until the scene where the scientists electrocute
it, then a midget was used to show the "thing" getting smaller as it "zapped",
but I'm pretty sure that James Arness WASN'T that creature. I could be wrong,
of course.

  But, hey, it's not like Mr. Arness ever felt strongly about
that character anyway..... ;)


  Hollywood finds some if it's "monsters" in pretty stange places.
The robot "Gort" from "Day The Earth Stood Still" was played by the
doorman at Grauman's Chinese Theatre.

    I thought that this was one of the scariest movies. I happened to watch
it on video at night with my GF, and the ominous atmosphere was very intense.
I agree that the music was near perfect, although the theme may have been 
a little questionable (only a little bit :-)). 
    If I had watched it at a movie theatre, it probably would've been even 
better. I don't know why a lot of reviews write this movie off
    In my opinion, one of Carpenter's best, ranking with The Thing, and Escape
From New York. (I also liked Starman, even though it's not a suspense/horror 
movie)

And here, then, is the question that *I've* had since I saw the damned 
thing, and peers argue both for against it:  did Lecter swallow the
pen clip, and then wait for it to pass through his digestive system?
This, I thought, was (1) why he was in the bathroom just prior to its
appearance, and (2) a pretty damned accurate prediction of one's own
excretory system. =)

You may remember a series of shorts for kids in the 1970s
called "Hot Dog."  I don't remember if it ran in the after
school hours, or on Saturday morning.  Each episode was about 
how some common object is made.  My favorite was the one where 
they showed how pencils were made.  Anyway, the three hosts were 
Woody Allen, Jonathan Winters, and Jo Anne Worley.

I think she also showed up as a panelist on game shows
(e.g. Match Game) from time to time.

Wow.  If I had expected a movie to be better than "The Evil Dead", I
would have to be expecting the greatest movie of all time :-)  Seriously,
"The Evil Dead" has to be my favorite movie of the horror genre (if not 
of any genre).

Sure, it's cheap, and sure there are some really cheesy special effects,
and sure the acting is not Oscar-caliber (although in this newsgroup,
nothing seems to be :-)  But, I think it's very effective in scaring, while
at the same time amusing, and it does have some amazing scenes.

Of course, I had the "pleasure" of enjoying my first viewing of this
movie with a group of friends who had seen it before.  Before every
classic scene, they would shout, "Hey!  You gotta see this!" Then, we
would rewind the tape and watch the scene again and again at various
speeds.  I'm not sure I've ever laughed so hard (at times nervously) in
my life.

By the way, I enjoyed "Darkman" a lot.  I didn't think it was a classic,
but I found it very entertaining.  "Evil Dead II" was great, in the
humble opinion of this obviously maladjusted soul.  Obviously, I can
hardly wait for "Evil Dead III."  They might let me out by then ;-)

  It's not classical, it's all by Jerry Goldsmith, and he was nominated

     Along this threadline...  I highly recommend "Impulse", with Meg Tilly and
Tim Matheson.  There are a couple of scenes, one of which features some huffin'
and puffin', but no actual skin.  A much better scene along the lines of this 
thread, though, (as far as "leaving it up to your imagination") is the one with
Tim and a young girl chewing bubble gum.  Very well-done scene, IMO.
