LSC Movies for the weekend of Oct 30 to Nov 1
Fri. Oct. 30 JFK [R] 10-250 7pm
26-100 10pm
Who {\it really} killed President Kennedy? Three years after the
assassination, New Orleans DA Jim Garrison (Kevin Costner) started
trying to find the truth that the official investigation missed. Based on
Garrison's book, the uproar caused by this film may soon result in the
release of the Warren Commission's files. Directed by Oliver Stone
({\it Wall Street, Born on the Fourth of July}).
Fri. Oct. 30 Fahrenheit 451 (1966) [???] 6-120 7:30
Theoretically, the temperature at which paper ignites. In a
hypothetical fascist future, a fireman's job is to burn books-- a
chilling thought for election weekend. Based on Ray Bradbury's award
winning novel, directed by Francois Truffaut. Note the special room
for this screening.
Sat. Oct. 31 The Handmaid's Tale [R] 26-100 7 & 10
Based on Margaret Atwood's best-selling novel, this film takes place
in a future where religious fundamentalists govern and women are
little more than possessions. The few women who are still fertile are
assigned as ``handmaids'' to wives who cannot bear children. Natasha
Richardson is captured trying to flee the country, and is assigned as
a handmaid to Faye Dunaway, whose husband, Robert Duvall, takes more
than a clinical interest in the surrogate.
Sun. Nov. 1 Brazil [R] 26-100 7 & 10
This brilliant black comedy depicts an outrageous Orwellian world, in
which the life of a lowly human cog (Jonathan Pryce) becomes
irrevocably changed by a dead fly falling into a computer terminal.
As he struggles against a vast bureaucracy and reality, he gets
involved with a renegade plumber, a beautiful truck driver, and a
demented ``information specialist.'' Directed by Terry Gilliam (Monty
Python, {\it Time Bandits}), and co-starring Robert DeNiro and Michael
Palin.

merm (michael mermelstein):
The madman Uco lives by the road west of Valladolid in a field littered
with improvised decathlon-weapons.
The telephone poles and wires are festooned with tethered rocks and other
garbage that didn't quite make it over the wires.
"Vota el Vino" proclaims a mural on the side of his shack. It depicts the
statue of liberty holding up a bottle.
People stop their cars to give him booze and money. He tells me in shared
latin roots: "they are stuporous and torporific. They want to act crazy
but pay me to do it instead."

New Ideas
Sam (Mr. Clean) Silverstein of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, advised the
Federal Election Commission he was running for President on a platform
that included abolishing Wednesday, decreasing the velocity of bullets
by 98 percent, and eliminating the Postal Service deficit by issuing
ten-cent stamps bearing nude photographs of famous Americans.

So high above the world tonight,
The angels watch us sleeping
And underneath a bridge of stars,
We dream in safety's keeping
But perhaps the dream
Is dreaming us
Soaring with the seagulls
Perhaps the dream
Is dreaming us
Astride the backs of eagles

This time last year I took my Aunt and her (now) husband
"South of the Border" to get hitched one evening. (To South
Carolina, not Mexico). On the way back I called up approach;
ME: Wilmington approach, Cessna 65988 over Lake Waccamaw 3500 feet
with yankee.
ILM: 65988 sqwawk XXXX, altimeter XX.XX, X-X in the bottom of the
6th, Atlanta leads.
The rest of the way in the controller kept me posted with a
play-by-play of all pertinent information, hits, outs, lineup
changes, etc. First time I've ever gone from 35 miles out
to the ramp on the same frequency.............
