I'm sorry, but this reminded me of a scene from the film 'Dances with
Wolves'. You may recall when he met the man who sent him to his
post out west... the guy folded his orders up into a tiny ball then
gave a wierd salute. And a few minutes later he was standing at the
window saying "The King is dead; long live the king" before blowing
his brains out. Totally whacked. John kept doing that funny salute
when I said something nutso. He cracks me up. We still can't
figure out why Costner put that scene in the movie.

Jill



I still can't figure out why he made "Waterworld" :P

I remember when that movie came out, I met my brother for lunch-- I
sat down across from him in the restaurant, and just said one word:
"Waterworld." He cracked up, and we both giggled like idiots for
awhile.

Speaking of Costner, I watched "Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves" laat
week, and that is one of the most schizo experiences I've ever had
watching a movie. Costner's flat-voiced, Valley Boy, mullet-headed
Robin Hood is pure agony, while Alan Rickman's insane Sheriff of
Nottingham is pure joy. That movie was when I fell in love with
Rickman.

I don't "get" Costner, either. I never saw Waterworld or the other films
but even in 'The Bodyguard' his monotone delivery just left me flat. It
worked okay in 'Dances with Wolves' when he was allegedly reading from a
diary. But come on, put some life into it when you're suppose to be acting!

Give me Mel Gibson any time!

Jill


Oh dear God, I don't get Mel either-- I don't want to risk going too
far into his religion or politics here. But back in the -80s, I
absolutely adored him. He was absolutely beautiful, and so obviously
bright and talented.

Bev had some very interesting things to say about
The King is Dead ...........:

It was a terrible fight - the screams were enough to curdle your
blood. When I got to the battle scene Clyde and Deo were nose to
nose. Clyde wasn't peeing with fright or fleeing. He was there for
the long haul - this was his patch and be damned if he was going give
way. Around the pair were tufts of Deo hair. Clyde had a mouthful of
Deo hair that he was trying to spit out between his bouts of ferocious
howling and growling. I stood and watched, I wasn't needed. Deo went
backwards - Clyde went forward, jaw to jaw, eyeball to eyeball - then
Deo turned and fled. Clyde didn't bother to chase him. He stood
there and practically beat his chest. FSP and Bonnie were watching from
the safety of the window sill, you could feel their admiration. I
have to admit Clyde looked enormous, with his tail expanded to twice the
size and every hair on his body fluffed up. I picked him up, he was
still growling. The king is dead - long live the king.


GOOD BOY!!!!!

I am actually quite fond of Deo, who is a sweetie to humans!
Ironically I am feeding him this weekend while his slave is away. The
slave also has a goldfish which Deo lives with happily. He even drinks
from the goldfish bowl, would you believe it! B & C would swallow that
goldfish in two no one second! Deo is well looked after btw. He has
his own collar and his long hair is always brushed and tidy - he is also
well fed. He just has an attitude problem to some other cats.

And then came "Robin Hood: Men in Tights", during which Prince John
asked why would the people listen to Robin Hood (Cary Elwes). Robin's
reply: "Because, unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an
English accent."
