It's just a shame that Robert Altman sucks as a director as he seems to feel that everyone should act boring and melancholy in all his films. Aside from the suprise flick "Popeye" (thanks, no doubt, to Mr. Robin Williams brilliance), Robert Altman just can't seem to get the hang of directing. [Please don't tell me "the Player" was a courageous and masterful film] - -jjj In a message dated 98-05-01 15:33:45 EDT, you write: << "Beyond Therapy" is one of the movies I should have walked out of.

I have the strangest feeling that someone pretending to be David Lynch snuck in directed the way he thought David Lynch would have directed a film and then snuck away. The film seems to say "THIS IS A DAVID LYNCH FILM: SEE HOW WEIRD IT IS" Weird? yeah; confusing? i guess; good? maybe. It doesn't seem to matter. The only thing "Lost Highway" did, was make me want to run out and watch "Wild at Heart" which is Lynch's best movie by far. And, of course, Nicholas Cage does a great Elvis, which is always cool, too. - -jjj In a message dated 98-05-01 18:47:31 EDT, you write: << I watched this movie several times and I like it, but I can't say why. I would agree that you can think a long time about it. I could not state what it was all about, but it is pretty strange. David Lynch did a great job when he was playing with the "suggested violence": you do not see how something violent happens, you just see Fred with blood in the face, the man lying there with the table in his head etc. The end is left open, but I interpret it as follows: the auto-mechanic (Billy was his name, right ?) is changing into Fred again. Therefore the police won't arrest him for killing Mr Eddy, and he will return home and have his wife back again - everything will be just like in the beginning. All he experienced was like a horror-trip - maybe that's why the soundtrack has "The Perfect Drug" by Trent Reznor on it. By the way, the soundtrack is tremendous.

In my opinion, the more you think about the movie and try to figure it out the less you will like it. This is the reason I liked it. I don't think there are two people who will come to the same conclusion after watching the movie. The best Lynch movie, in my opinion, is Blue Velvet. Dennis Hopper's best film by far.

This got me thinking. I wonder what is considered the greatest martial arts movie ever made . Does anyone know of any surveys done on this? My guess would be Bruce Lee's Enter The Dragon, but that's just my opinion.

Claire Danes isn't bad, Liam Neesan (sp?) is good as Jean Valjean. Jeoffrey Rush (Javert) and Uma Thurman (Fontaine... sp?) were good also. It was slightly slow, but remained good. If I hadn't already known the book (I don't know the musical) I think that would have changed things. I'm not really sure how clear some parts of it would be to someone who didn't know the plot- but then, at the same time, they probably would have a much more open mind... kg [ To quit the movies mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe movies" ] [ (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 02 May 1998 23:12:07 -0400 From: Mel Eperthener <bcassidy@usaor.net> Subject: Re: [MV] Mimic At 07.43 PM 02/05/98 -0400, Gary wrote: >All: thumbs up or thumbs down?

Some of you hinted at introducing more pages and features on the website, while others want even more new lists. We can also start spending more time on the voting engine, giving you more control and possibilities in the voting process. Please tell us what you think that we should be doing. Maybe you can give us some fresh ideas we haven't heard earlier.
