Well almost, the only difference being that Kuffs was one of the stupidest

Yes, a sled was being incinerated toward the end of the movie. This bit was
there to remind you what Rosebud meant. It was the sled he used to play with
before his mother sent him away when he was a child.
I know that there are a lot of people out there who haven't seen CK that often

Cruise did not make him.  Cruise asked him (as he had asked
Sutherland).  Nicholson could have said he did not order it.
And, the whole idea that no one in the Marines disobeys orders
or that Nicholson's character thought that.  Afterall, 
Nicholson himself disobeyed orders.  It would have been
quite easy and quite sensible for him to CONTINUE lying.

Whether he thinks he's right or not is not very relevant.
He thought he was right, but still worked to protect himself
by lying to investigators and altering flight logs.

>make him admit it on the stand.  

Based on NO evidence he got a judge to subpoena Nicholson.
Why?
So Cruise could badger a witness in order to prove himself
really deserving of a legal career.  It's just too silly.

And I agree with that 95%.  (I'd change the

The transition was also done very well in Judgement at Nuremberg.
The trick there was that while all the actors were speaking in
English, you knew that some characters were speaking in English and
some in German.  So while Maximillian Schell was speaking (in English),
Spencer Tracy and Richard Widmark had to listen to him through headphones.

Very neatly done.

I think Jack, Tom, and Demi all did great jobs. But, let's not
forget Kevin Bacon and Keifer Sutherland.  They were an added treat 
that really helped the film.  Even thought their parts are smaller,
their added convictions really stood out. Of course, my wife thinks
Kevin Bacon is a hunk....

I talked to the theater manager after the movie, and he assured me that you can
choose your seat by requesting it (along the lines of "6 rows from the front, in
the middle, please").  I can see where it might be really nice if you have a
group going to a movie, and you all want to sit together, you could get tickets
early and not have to worry about it, especially for a popular movie.

Tower Records' standard rates are:

These are THE best prices I

    I have had this happened to me two years in a row.   It seems as if
the new year means that local tv stations can move around all their
shows.   Since TV guides and local newspapers don't alphabetize the shows
and list the times, it is very time-consuming to find whether the show
has just been dropped or moved to a new time.

My guess is that, while its initial grosses were poor (but not so poor
as, say, "Heaven's Gate"), "Blade Runner" is probably relatively close
to the breakeven point now, due to continued interest in repertory showings,
videocassette sales, laserdisk sales, and the recent re-release.  I don't
think any of the other films you list have had the post-release success
of "Blade Runner".

As you know by now, Wonderful Life is indeed in the public domain,
as are hundreds (maybe thousands) of other films where the copyright
owner let the copyright lapse, either deliberately or through
neglect.  Capra's Meet John Doe is another one.  Many of the
early films on video for under 15 bucks were public domain films.
Most of the hundreds of horror, fantasy, and SF flicks available
from Sinister Cinema are PD films.  In most cases, any movie
which has been released by several different video companies (like
Wonderful Life) is probably PD.  A few others which come to mind:
His Girl Friday, the 1935 (British) Scrooge, Our Town, Vampyr,
Persona.  In some cases, the copyright is in dispute and eventually
someone claims a legal victory.  Many of the old RKO movies were
thought to be in the public domain at the dawn of the mass-market
video era, like King Kong and Gunga Din, but were later found to be
under legitimate copyright.

From what I know (from the 1993-1994 book of movies on video and TV) it
isn`t available on video in the US. Too bad this 1969 japanese thriller
looks great from the description in the book (haven`t seen it myself).
