I cast "Raise Dead Film"

[Hypersmurf]

Now if they'd just let us see a director's cut from John McTiernan.

You know, I used to think that too...

There were a lot of little discontinuities, and unfinished threads, and I left the movie thinking "They must have cut a few scenes", either from the final cut of the film, or from the book when they adapted it.

And then I read the book. It's just as discontinuous! Crichton wrote it as though it were based on fragmentary documents, salvaged scraps of journals, etc... so it's not supposed to track like a story where all the loose ends are tied up.

Personally, I've never seen how it's supposed to be 'Gawd Bashing'
really. It gives the nicest look at Gawd I've ever seen in a movie.
Usually, in most movies with Gawd in it, he's a real prick. Here,
he/she's a really nice guy/gal.

'Church Bashing', maybe.

To some folks, that's the same thing.

Queen of the Damned has been on HBO lately, so I have to add that to the list. It was pretty bad but I see it in an almost Army of Darkness like light.

Nuts to that. Raimi and Campbell were trying to be funny. It's OK to like Queen of the Damned on it's own merit, but don't ever compare it to the GREATEST FILM EVER.

BTW, anyone see that Army of Darkness Director's Cut DVD? Atrocious. They actually removed the "Good? Bad? I'm the one with the gun" line. And the "original" ending didn't do to much for me, especially since it doesn't have the whole "Hail to the king, baby" thing.

WHAT?!? No 'Hail to the King, baby!'

That's just... evil.

BTLC?

Personally, I've never seen how it's supposed to be 'Gawd Bashing' really.

It wasn't, problem was it didn't conform to certain people view on the subject and that's a no-no. Plus it's a touchy subject over in these parts so any mention may cause a problem if it's not overtly favorable.

TNT was showing Circle of Iron this AM (06/13/2003). Missed most of but I hope they show it again!

Circle of Iron was a very cool flick. Always one of my underappreciated favorites.

Now that I've heard of, BTLC not so much.
