It was the historical touches that prevented the pissant in me from
being annoyed - the stigmata were in the right places, and the mysterious
quotes were really from the Gospel of St. Thomas of the Nag Hammadi
collection of early writings. Very spooky effect.

What movie featured the following cast: Gillian
Anderson, Ellen Burstyn, Sean Connery, Anthony
Edwards, Angelina Jolie, Jay Mohr, Ryan Phillippe,
Dennis Quaid, Gena Rowlands, Jon Stewart, Madeleine
Stowe? It's called PLAYING BY HEART (A). It's a
collection of short stories with a common theme that
share a common ending. The stories are all well-
written and beautifully directed. The strongest of
the stories is about a pair of star-crossed lovers,
played by Phillipe and Jolie, who go together like
butter and toast. Highly recommended.

Kids insisted we catch STIGMATA (C) yesterday.
It almost put them to sleep. Pokey, unscary.
Uncreepy, even. Gabriel Byrne, as an angsty
priest, and Patricia Arquette, as Saint Frankie,
valiantly try and make something of all the
nonsense. It's worth seeing for them, but that's
about it. Someone described Stigmata as "MTV meets
The Exorcist." Close. Portia de Rossi, who plays
Nell on TV's Emmy-winning Ally McBeal, has a
miniscule role.

:-) They didn't. She was born Mandy Rodgers,
changed her name when she was 12 and started
modeling.
"Portia" is an old Roman name, but the noun
"portia" doesn't exist. There is a masculine noun
"portio," meaning "part." If you felt like it, you
could posit the existence of a feminine form
"portia," indicating that Miss de Rossi is a "piece."
("Nomen," the Latin word for "name," also means
"noun," so we may be on to something.)

I guess it beats Kevin Kline's query about the name, from "A Fish Called
Wanda".

When people tell Arsenio Hall that "Arsenio" is an unusual name for a black
man, he says "It means Leroy in Latin".

Forgot to mention: "ostium" is "door."
"Portus" is "port." Now, write that
100 times.

Portia is an Uranian Moon. Along with Desdemona, Cressida, Opelia, Juliet,
Puck and Ariel, just to mention a few.

Rented John Boorman's "Excalibur" last night. Still a cool movie, but those
knights were pretty tough characters to be wearing their full plate armor all
the time like that. They didn't even take it off to have sex!

'YELLOW SUBMARINE'-- They have just re-released a fully restored and
beautiful looking new version of one of my alltime favorite movies, the
Beatles "Yellow Submarine" This was the first movie I can ever recal
seeing (my dad took me to see it at theater in 1968 when it came out, I
was almost five I think) This was back when the Beatles were like
supergods and I remember loud screaming of girls when the cartoon versions
of John, Paul, George, and Ringo were introduced on screen. The Beatles
are recruited by Sgt. Pepper to be in his Lonely Hearts Club Band and
travel to Pepperland aboard the Yellow Submarine to save the world from
the Blue Meanies. The psychedelic animation and the interspersing of live
action and animated shots is really something in this. And of course the
music including many Beatles classics, like "All You need is Love". "When
Im 64", "Nowhere Man", and a personal favorite, the title song, "Yellow
Submarine" This is a true 60's classic. The DVD has the widescreen
version, a making of documentary, plus you can index by song and just play
your favorites. **** (four stars...buy it, its a keeper!)

Also The Matrix has come out on DVD today. Some say it is the
movie that will drive people to buying DVD players.

Got Matrix?
I also loved "It's all too much", which is a masterpiece of
odered-seeming chaos, and appears only in _Yellow Submarine_ and it's
soundtrack, insofar as I've seen.

Its been reported of course that Keanu Reeves has signed to film not one
but two Matrix sequels back to back next year. They are to be filmed late
this year at the same time with the thought (and this is an interesting
idea) to release both Matrix II and III at the same time. This way
theater owners can play with your minds by not telling you which movie you
are seeing until you are in the theater, or they can switch the endings
around.

Robert Zemeckis did something like that for the filming of
"Back to the Future" II and III (filmed them at the same time
and then released them almost simultaneously..)

Not for another week. However, I had some computer shopping which that
prompted me to do.
