Sorry. There wasn't a guess b4 I posted mine.

" To Kill A Mockingbird?" Hi folks.

Two from "Apocalypse Now" ..."Terminate ...with extreme prejudice."...."You're an errandboy sent by grocery clerks to collect a bill."

Just a joke. BTW in actual fact, according to a study I read recently, childproof caps, lighters,etc, DON'T prevent accidents. Due to child-proofing, parents have relaxed their vigilence about such things and the rate of occurence as well as the fatality rate have remained almost exactly UNCHANGED. The only thing childproof caps do is keep grandma from getting her aspirin.

I really dislike being "corrected" with the idea that the point being made was "Obvious". Since we don't know WHO wrote this statement, we don't know exactly what he/she meant. It is certainly open to interpretation. To imply that I am not smart enough to figure out something that is "obvious" is really stating that you think that I am stupid. I know you aren't doing this but please be more careful. The next person may take you literally.

Yes, Ive always thought that child-proof caps were terrible too. The kid who drinks the bottle of Drano doesn't get to reproduce others like himself.

Oh and for those who complain about how there always seems to be a parking space right there in front of the Capitol Bldg.... do you REALLY want the film to show an hour of someone searching for a parking space and then walking 8 blocks to get to the place they want to be? In the case I say to heck with reality.

In horror films I'm sick of some idiot going down into the basement to check on the strange noise and then seeing: "It's only the dog/cat/wind" misdirection. I then start my countdown 3-2-1: pyscho/monster/demon leaps from :closet/darkness/floor. Yawn.

"The bad films of today are better than the bad films 40 years ago." PHAH! 40 years ago there were no films with excrement flying, graphic, pointless gore, or hideous naked people. This ALONE makes the bad films of 40 yrs ago not as bad!

Yes it was obvious that they were on a flight of fancy in the concentration camp scenes, but that doesn't make it any more viewable IMO. A GOOD film will ask you to suspend your disbelief about ONE item e.g. flying saucers exist, Ghosts appear to Scrooge, etc. Then everything ELSE must be believable or the film degenerates into chaos and banality. Suppose instead of reacting with dread to the sight of his own grave, Scrooge had decided he he really needed a jelly donut? Or what if Richard Dreyfus' character in "Close Encounters" had gotten together an army of Vampires to attack the aliens? When you are aware that ANYTHING can happen in a film, you don't CARE what happens. Just my opinion...obivously the Acadamy disagreed.

Stl Gal if you haven't seen it, in the original Austin Powers film the does a brilliant satire of the whole " I'm going to explain my evil plan-let's put him in the diabolical machine and assume that it kills him" schtick.FUN-NY!

Did ayone else HATE "Life is Beautiful"? The first part of the movie was ok but once they entered the concentration camp I was irritated, bored, and wanted to leave. Even a fantasy film has to have some basis in reality and this flick didn't. I found myself wondering why Benigno didn't stop fooling around hiding his son, getting on the camp loudspeakers, and in general getting away with things that would be spotted by people running a day care center let alone a Nazi death camp. Why didn't he just find a magic lamp, rub it and summon the genie to make the Nazi's let everybody go? I GOT the point they were trying to make....I just wish they didn't ram it home with a sledgehammer dripping honey!!!

Just remembered this: Once while seeing the matinee while Iwas about 11, the guy next to me (a stranger) got chewed out by by an usher for having his feet up on the seat in front. As the usher turned to leave, I piped up"Chee, da biiig maaaan!" (I had just seen "O'Henry's Full House" and was enamored of the way Richard Widmark as a hood had said this line) Poor guy got dragged out of the theatre by the arm.

Well since it's the season, from "A Christmas Carol" When scrooge rebuffs Marley's ghost with the idea that he is merely a bad dream brought on by "a bit of beef. A fragment of underdone potato". He assures the ghost that "There's more of gravy than of grave about you."

Wow! what censorship. Even the name "F&ck" is too close to the OTHER F word! No WONDER no one mentions Nina Foch!

Come now! How can this topic exist w/o any mention of the "big 3". Anthony Perkins, Dennis Hopper, and Johnny Depp. While Tony Perkins played a very few normal roles e.g. "On the Beach", the other two have never played ANYONE that I would want as a neighbor. Check out "The River's Edge" with Hopper as the unforgettable "****" who is in love with an inflatable doll and "honorable mention" Crispin Glover as "Layne". Freud would be proud!

You got it Path!WTG!!! Yours now but I hafta run. guess you can start when yr ready
