Incidentally, if you like "The Tick," you'll probably love this movie. The
villains, in particular, are very Tick-esque.

I liked it, too, but I thought it dragged a bit
whenever Janine Garolfalo wasn't in the scene.
She is one funny chick.

Jeanine really made the movie, despite what the reviewers have said
about the other characters. Without her presence it would've been entirely
forgettable.

[Her first name is spelled "Janeane."
My mistake.]

I also liked Mystery Men. I disagree that the other characters weren't funny.
I thought Ben Stiller's Mr. Furious was hilarious. Reubens I couldn't even
look at but not because I thought he was funny, he just made me ill in that
makeup. Casanova Frankenstein was also good, and I just like William Macy
in anything ever since "Fargo". And as far as "the Sphinx" goes, I believe
he wasn't listed in the credits, which if true, and he is who I think he is,
is funnier still.

As I believe has been discussed elsewhere, Studi has quite a performance
in Last of the Mohicans.

Inaccurate information in #160; Wes Studi was in Last of the Mohicans.

Jay Silverheels, which would have made "who was that masked man?" an
appropriate question to ask:)

RE #166 Jay Silverheels went to the Happy Hunting Ground sometime in the late
1970's or early 1980's (don't remember the exact day of his death).

DICK (A-) - Offers a wonderfully zany series of
mock-explanations for the big news stories of
Nixon's second term. You'd think it wouldn't
make much sense to someone who was born almost
ten years after Nixon resigned and who hasn't
reached that era yet in school, and yet my son
laughed himself silly over it, owing mainly to
the endearingly goofy protagonists, a pair of
highschool girls. The actresses playing the two
girls are first-rate. Highly recommended.

saw "mystery men" friday night. it did have its funny moments and
some good lines. paul reubens' character was entirely unnecessary.
even so, the movie reminded me of what my circle of friends could be if our
neuroses and psychoses were just a little more pronounced.
saw "the blair witch project" on saturday. i didn't find it to be
the seat-grippingly terrifying movie that some people have. even so,
there are some images from it (and what those images made me think of)
which are going to stay with me for a long time. the movie was
interesting in some other ways, too. i thought it was a pretty good
demonstration of how urbanized some people have become and what can
happen when people are taught that the needs of the individual outweigh
the needs of the group. it seems to be a step in the right direction
for the horror-movie genre, as well...maybe, just maybe, the days of
the blood-soaked slasher series are over and horror movies which
encourage audiences to think and to supply the scariest bits themselves
will have a resurgence.

I saw THe Mummy at the Fox yesterday. It was worth about $1.50.

Do a "Facts of Life" parody and call it "The Blair Warner Project"?

Mark- what show were you at? Ashke (formerly sun) and I were there
yesterday at the 4:15 showing. Personally, I really like that movie,
it's horribly cheesy- but it *knows* it's cheese and plays it up.

I saw Inspector Gadget last Friday. It was a fun movie. It covered all of the
old standards of the cartoon show, except for the obligatory scene in each
TV episode where Chief Quimby gives Gadget his assignment. (Chief Quimby does
appear in the film, played by Dabney Coleman.) It was a silly stupid film,
but not as silly or as stupid as George of the Jungle. I give it a B+.

Heh, askhe and I were probably very near you then. <laughs> Although, we
arrived just in time to miss most of the previews... (We intended to
see "Matrix" but were too late)

re: way back there...Jay "Tonto" Silverheels died back in the late 70's
(maybe 1979?) One of the pallbearers was his real-life best friend
Clayton Moore, who of course played the Lone Ranger along side his Tonto
for years first on radio and then on television.
