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.

No politics, but what a gorgeous man! And Braveheart, of course, captured
my heart (being a Scotswoman and all) and the film score by James Horner was
to die for!

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

I fell asleep while watching "Prince of Thieves" - while snuggling
with the guy I was dating and absolutely nutso about at the time.

I liked "Men in Tights" enough that I bought a copy.
