lsc (Lecture Series Committee):
LSC Movies for the weekend of Sep 25 to Sep 27
Fri. Sep. 25 Basic Instinct [R] 26-100 7 & 10
Michael Douglas stars as a police detective trying to track down the
killer of a rock musician. Sharon Stone stars as his biggest suspect,
a novelist who was involved with the musician, and who also wrote
a book in which a character dies in the same way. This movie earned
a lot of criticism for its controversial portrayal of lesbians, but it
still has great sex scenes.
Fri. Sep. 25 Les Diaboliques (1954) [???] 10-250 7:30
In keeping with the weekend's psychotic theme; the abused wife and
mistress of a sadistic headmaster conspire to murder him, then lose
the body after burying it beneath a swimming pool. With Simone
Signoret and Vera Clouzot, directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot. French
w/English subtitles.
Sat. Sep. 26 Lawnmower Man [R] 26-100 7 & 10
Virtual reality is the setting of this gripping screen adaptation of
the Stephen King short story. Jeff Fahey plays the slow-witted
neighbor who becomes a brilliant scientist's (Pierce Brosnan) first
human subject in a highly classified experiment that transforms Fahey
into a psychotic with psychic powers. This film contains
special effects that {\it must} be seen on the big screen!
Sun. Sep. 27 Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown
[unrated] 26-100 7 & 10
Pepa Marcos is having problems. She desperately needs to get in touch
with Ivan, her ex-lover, but he has left her for another woman and
won't return her calls. The mambo taxi is covered in fake fur, the
gazpacho is spiked with barbiturates, and everybody is almost as
stressed as MIT students during midterms. From Pedro Almodovar,
director of {\it High Heels}. In Spanish, with English subtitles.

nightowl (Blodeuwedd):
Why do I try when it's all in vain
The love I sow can only bring me pain
Building castles out of sand and stone
Cause in the end I will still be alone
Upon my face the smiles you see
Only hide the strain and misery
In my youth my world came undone
Right when my life had just begun
-
I know it, I need it
Somehow I must try to love again
I want it, I feel it
I just can't seem to let it end
I have to, I need to
Can't you see it's killing me
-
Precious moments I'll never forget
All our daydreams and the goals we set.
It's so unfair when a life has to come to an end
And to be left behind to try and start again
My eyes are dead, they asee only in black and white
The color of life left with my will to fight
A love so pure that time has become my foe
I want to be free but a new love may never show
-
I know it, I need it
Somehow I must try to love again
I want it, I feel it
I just can't seem to let it end
I have to, need to
Can;t you see it's killing me.

rlcarr (Richard L. Carreiro):
Brian set up the tripod, while I loaded the 35mm Arriflex :35mmAr
with our last film short-end - we had to get this on the gon
first try. Brian also had to perform a difficult pan, 37
zoom-back and rack-focus - a shot normally requiring a 38
three-man union camera crew. 39

minute precaution: I gaffer-taped the official WIZARD grgnr
rubber rat to the top of the camera. This odd little
totem had worked before, since we'd shot the entire WIZARD
RUN without filming permits - you don't question that kind .kibo

I coasted down the hill, riding back to Marathon - and wl:COORD
praying that we'd have no major traffic, just for the next change
few minutes. 2/RK
It was 12:10pm - high noon - when the Earth's magnetic 12:10_^Q
field is at its peak. The magnetometer needle deflected, adjust
as the first pulse rolled through the area. It was always
the weakest one. The bike vibrated, momentarily. WAIT
.
Time seemed to slow, with expectation. Above me, a large .
flock of pigeons were wheeling in wild loops. In a nearby PROCEED
garden, dozens of small white butterflies were coming from
every plant. The hairs on back of my neck were beginning
to stand up - this was definitely an electromagnetic event. w//
7.83 seconds later, the magnetometer needle suddenly pinned. 7.83sec?
I signalled Brian to roll camera. He yelled, "Rolling!", :~Ro!~_yb

I pedalled furiously along the straightaway. I soon heard WAIT
the U-coils humming, and the bike spokes singing, and then silo.800
experienced some physiological side-effects which would no PROCEED
doubt intrigue my girlfriend. In retrospect, it really was
like something out of BACK TO THE FUTURE, with the DeLorean ~Bt~?
coming up to its 88mph time-speed. The script-writer 88.TIME_
probably had an innate sense of this phenomenae. WAIT

The second pulse came sweeping along the terrain behind me :?
..there was a gentle bounce as it synched up. As expected, .
the U-coils combined to form a simple but adequate uni-polar
resonance "arc", catching and effectively "surfing" on the ~arc~
magfield wave. It felt like my first hang-glider, back in PASSWORD
1960 - it felt invigorating, and fantastic. 960_i

I hit the second magfield line at the foot of the hill, and
a surge of force threw the bike onward. I nearly flipped
backwards, but just managed to grab the handlebar yoke. All
alongside me, car alarms were being triggered - a surreal
escort of weird trumpets and UFO sounds.
And it was at that point that I took my feet completely off EXECUTE
the bike pedals, and went zooming up the hill toward the 1.800.

There was a slight wobble to my riding, since Maltman runs
at -5 degrees off magnetic-axis, and I couldn't head at a -5degAdj
true magnetic south. But thankfully the beauty of the LAUNCH
effect compensated. [I love it when a science project 1-800
actually works right.][And even more, when I survive it.] 10:00sec

Brian yelled in triumph, "Got it!". I clicked off the 9:90
generator switches and coasted back. 9:85

Suddenly, I smelled something burning - the U-coils were silo^Z
smoking! Just then, a Mr. Jingles ice cream truck cruised *JINGLES
into the shot, its speakers merrily playing "It's a Small 1.213
Small World". Remembering an article in General Technics 664.8626

snowcones to put out the potential holocaust. A small PASSWORD

We packed everything up and left, just as a black limousine execute/

One day in a nuclear age

They build machines that they can't control
