Just what I wanted to hear, as I'm going to be in Albuquerque in just over a week's time!  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 02-02-2008 11:26 PM                        Well, that's far behind me now. I am in Roanoke, VA now - just 4 more hours to DC! We will stay there Sunday and Monday, then head on to Baltimore where I have an assignment on Tuesday, finally do the last stretch to Boston on Wednesday. Dr Leo - what are you doing in Albuquerque?  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 02-03-2008 08:59 AM                        Speaking on the 'Film Archives and Cultural Heritage' panel at this conference. Is your job in Baltimore at the theatre which featured in the opening scene of Cecil B. Demented?  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 02-03-2008 12:50 PM                       The Baltimore drive-in featured in that movie is The Bengies, owned and operated by my good friend, D. Edward Vogel.  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 02-03-2008 01:11 PM                        The moment in the title sequence at which the local chief do-gooder turns off the oxygen supply to the little boy in the wheelchair while muttering 'selfish little f**er' (or words to that effect) is one of my favourites, as is the script taking as many shots at the indie art movie world as it does the Hollywood studio system. Stephen Dorff has, frankly, a very easy part to play; but Melanie Griffith playing a spoilt Hollywood brat cast into her worst nightmare is abolutlely brilliant. And the climatic scene on the set of 'Forrest Gump 2', in which the 'real' filmmakers resolve to 'kick their [the guerillas'] little 16mm asses'' is just brilliant.  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 03-14-2008 01:59 PM                     Hey Michael, How is MA treating you?  |  IP: Logged John Hawkinson Film God Posts: 2273 From: Cambridge, MA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 03-15-2008 12:41 AM                     He made it!
