Here's a novel idea that should keep everyone happy:
Why don't we let every mailing list related to movies (ie, Flick Filospher,
Movie Report) post to the list a few times, then let anyone interested get
an individual subscription. If we don't have a web page, it's pretty easy
to start a free one that could contain links to these resources, and
instructions on how to subscribe.
This would accomplish a number of things:
Lists that we would otherwise not know about would be given some exposure.
New members of the list could find resources of older movie-related lists.
And finally, we would allow room for new lists to be promoted without the
fear of overload.
Again, just an idea, thrown out there. Anyone care to expand on this,
change it around completely, or just shoot it down?? Please do.

Subject: [MV] Godzilla Revisited
Reading all the negative stuff that came out about Godzilla on its
initial release, I waited for the video before watching it. I have to
say that I was pleasantly surprised by the movie. If you didn't compare
it to a Godzilla movie and just watched it as its own monster movie, I
didn't think it was to bad. They should not have called it Godzilla,
though. Attack of the Mutant Lizard (or something like that) might have
been a better name. Comparisons to the original Godzilla movies should
have never have been made. This would have let the movie stand on it's
own merits (because it didn't bare a lot of similarities to any Godzilla
movie I've ever seen). It was just a good monster movie with good SFX,
and I liked it, but it wasn't a Godzilla movie.
CHRIS.

Subject: [MV] MovieJuice! - THE WATERBOY - Bored on the Bayou
THE WATERBOY - BORED ON THE BAYOU
by Mark Ramsey
http://www.moviejuice.com
November 8, 1998
Brought to you by Adam Sandler and director Frank Coraci - best known for directing traffic - it's The Waterboy. And suddenly, The Wedding Singer is looking like Casablanca. Is it true that Martin Scorcese, in his tour through American movies, needed a Triple-A tow out of this Cajun country?
In a weekend when Adam Sandler faces off with Judy Garland, Adam kicks Judy's breast-restrained ass somewhere over the rainbow. In the battle of the Cowardly Lion versus the Cowardly Linebacker, Gatorade Boy wins.
Desperately searching perspective, off I went to Shady Grove Retirement Home for a chat with Wizard of Oz producer Mervyn LeRoy. There, in a sunny corner room atop a pile of his own filth, was legendary producer Mervyn.
"Mr. LeRoy, what do you think about The Waterboy opening up a can of whoop ass all over Wizard of Oz at the weekend box office?"
"Son," said Mervyn, sucking a stogie longer than Jeff Goldblum's nose and filled with just as much mystery substance, "I haven't been so angry since George Cukor pinched my ass. Besides, forget that Sandler fella. It's that dame!"
"You mean Fairuza Balk?"
"Yeah, that doll is hotsie totsie! My kinda broad! I'd love to roll around in filth with that chickadee, because something tells me it wouldn't be her first time! Know what I'm sayin'? I'm down wid dat! She quite fly!"
Nasty girl Fairuza is sexpot sweet in this flick. Hubba hubba! Having made the transition from Ginger to Geri, can the phrase "Ambassador Fairuza" be far behind? Can we promote Fairuza to Fine-uza? Did someone add water to her sea monkeys? A giant sensual step up from Drew Barrymore, Adam, if I may say so.
According to Fodor's travel guide, Fairuza's got a belly as flat as Kansas but with more enticing sights in the distance - the snow-capped Rockies to the North and the humid Amazonian Rainforest to the South, or something like that. All aboard the happy-tram! Leave the driving to us!
Fairuza sports a triangular pyramid tattoo on one shoulder. That means "yield" in some languages and "stop" in none of them. The triangle, of course, summons the ancient astronauts who manufactured the original pyramids of Giza. What astronaut wouldn't want to orbit Fairuza's celestial body, abduct and prod her in weird, probing ways? She's gone from Fair-who-za to Fair-lollapalooza!
The great thing about Adam Sandler's movies is they give hope to losers. A) Yes, loser, you can win. B) Yes, loser, you can get the beautiful girl. C) Yes, loser, you will be crushed in the game of life because you believe points A and B.
Lest we be confused, Fairuza wouldn't be caught dead with any waterboy in real life (or - in my dreams - with any boy at all for that matter - if you catch my drift).
Thanks to movies like The Waterboy and The Wedding Singer, Adam is quickly becoming the Pied Piper of Minimum Wage, the patronizing saint of the hopeless, the Lion King of Losers, the Armageddon of the Up-and-at-em, , the Frank Lloyd Wright of movies starting with "W." What's next, The Wookie? The Windbreaker? The Wanker? Definitely The Wanker.
Look for a cameo by the legendary Col. Sanders, who has died and been resurrected by KFC enough times to add another chapter to the Bible, called the "Extra Crispy" Testament.
And isn't that oddball super-fan with the beer-cap Director Ron Howard's brother Clint? You betcha! It follows naturally from Einstein's Theory of Relatives! Don't let the Andy Griffith Show fool you; all the acting chops in the Howard family are on Clint's chromosomes, just as sure as Steve Guttenberg created the printing press.
Last but not least, there's Fonzie, cast as Adam's Football coach. The Fonz is taking five from the chores of producing TV's Sightings to show his naked butt in Cinemascopic dimensions. In last week's episode, the Sightings team conducted a psychic investigation into this paranormal display of ass cleavage. Psychic investigator Bette Crack checked Fonzie's ass for vibrations and discovered the ghosts of Arnold, Potsie, and Big Al living off residuals in hollowed out dimples.
Wait! There's no way that ass was Fonzie's ass! Did the Fonz have a cheek lift? Have the geniuses at ILM taken a break from one Phantom Menace to digitally render another? Beware, the hemorrhoidal force is with you!
Was that a fart or did Fonzie's butt just shout "Heeeeeeyyyyyyyy!"?

All I can say is that it's coming. There were rumours of a release, and
then it sort of dried up. I recently picked up the re-release of the Jack
Nicholson version, and when I was ordering it from my (new) sales rep, she
was confused, thought I wanted the new one, and said it wasn't out yet, but
was due "soon". Probably early in 1999.
