Hey! Calling "Things to Come" a dull film is hardly fair! For
the time, it was a superb production, and could hardly be called
"boring" in that context, at least. True, no lasers zapping or
light sabers, but then who needs those ostentatious frills, anyway?

"To Sir With Love" is an unrealistic film, just dripping with
emotion. I also happen to like it very much, since (believe it
or not) I *like* films that drip with emotion, if they do it
properly. In fact, my primary measure of a "good" film is
wether or not it makes me feel an intense emotion (on purpose,
not as byproduct of poor production values!) Of course, there are
other measures that I use to judge "technical" quality, but a film
can be technically poor but still worth viewing.

"What's Up Tiger Lilly" is a hilarious early Woody epic.
Maybe I'll bring a copy of it along when (if) I make it out
to the D.C. Unix conference. Which brings up a question. If
I do make it out, what films would people like to see? If we can
dig up a Beta machine, I could probably be talked into bringing
out some tapes from my (and various friends') collections. I'll
bring my outtake tapes and stuff in any case, I guess. Feel free
to make suggestions by direct mail. Don't be surprised if I do
not respond to you individually on this topic -- but all requests
will be noted.

I think I saw "Werewolves on Wheels" fairly recently -- but how many of you have seen "Werewolf in the White House"? I'm not kidding. "Allegra Non Troppo" is indeed a fabulous film. It's in my collection -- I may bring it along if I make it out to UniFoo. I'm also tempted to bring along "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", but we'll see about that. --Lauren--
