lsc (Lecture Series Committee):
LSC Movies for the week of Apr 1 to Apr 3
Fri. Apr 1 The Nightmare Before Christmas [PG] 26-100 7 & 10
Tim Burton's film is the state of the art in stop-motion animation,
which sets up a witty collision of two holiday rituals, Halloween and
Christmas. Jack Skellington, who reigns as the Pumpkin king of Halloween
town, has grown tired of his annual chore of coordinating the world's
Halloween mischief. He stumbles into Christmastown and vows to bring his
own special touch to the "spirit" of Christmas.
Fri. Apr 1 The Seventh Seal [???] 10-250 7:30
Time for a taste of foreign film, Classics brings the Swedish director
Ingmar Bergman to the screen. Max Von Sydow is a knight wandering
Mediaeval Europe seeing the atrocities of the times. Then the knight
must face Death himself. Bergman's visual style depicts the dark ages
in a bizarre, mystifying style. This film has influenced filmmakers
from Woody Allen to Monty Python, as you will be able to see.
Directed by Ingmar Bergman (1957, 16mm print).
Sat. Apr 2 M. Butterfly [R] 26-100 7 & 10
The film version of David Henry Hwang's Tony award winning play by the
same name is based on a true story of a French diplomat based in China
who engages in a lengthy love affair with a Chinese diva. It is revealed
to him, at an espionage trial, that the woman that he believes to be the
mother of his child is really a man.
Sun. Apr 3 Field of Dreams [PG] 10-250 7 & 10
Based on W. P. Kinsella's novel Shoeless Joe, this film is an
extraordinary story of Ray Kinsella's quest to transform his vision into
reality. From an Iowa cornfield where he hears voices to a baseball game
in Fenway Park and back again, his journey is a fantastic one of belief
and hope, and is filled with memorable characters. This magical and
moving film stars Kevin Costner, Amy Madigan, James Earl Jones, and Ray
Liotta.

mwhitson (Michael Whitson):
They looked again, and they saw Lee Harvey Oswald perched in the
window of the Texas School Book Depository; and he, again, wore the
face of Stanley Laurel. And, because this world had been created by a
great god named Earl Warren, Oswald fired the only shots that day, and
and John Fitzerald Kennedy was, as the Salvation Army charmingly
expresses it, "promoted to glory."
"This is Confusion," said Athena with her owl-eyes flashing, for she
was more familiar with the world created by the god Mark Lane.
Then they saw a hallway, and Oswald-Laurel was led out between two
policemen. Suddenly Jack Ruby, with the face of Oliver Hardy, stepped
forward and fired a pistol right into that frail little body. And
then Ruby sopke the eternal words, to the corpse at his feet: "Now
look what *you* made me do," he said.
And that was the second Vision.
-the Illuminatus! Trilogy, by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson

sgw (stephen g. wadlow):
Trouble, oh trouble set me free,
I have seen your face and it's too much, too much for me
Trouble, oh trouble can't you see,
you're eating my heart away and there's nothing much left of me.
I've drunk your wine you have made
your world mine so won't you be fair, so won't you be fair.
I don't want no more of you,
so won't you be kind to me,
just let me go where I have to go there.
Trouble, oh trouble move away,
I have seen your face and it's too much for me today.
Trouble, oh trouble can't you see,
You have made me a wreck now won't you leave me in my misery.
I've seen your eyes and I can see
death's disguise hangin' on me, hangin' on me
I'm beat, I'm torn shattered and tossed and worn.
too shocking too see, too shocking too see.
Trouble, oh trouble move from me,
I have paid my debt now won't you leave me in my misery.
Trouble, oh trouble please be kind,
I don't want no fight and I haven't got a lot of time.
"Trouble"

therese (Therese):
Why are these women here dancing on their own?
Why is there this sadness in their eyes?
Why are the soldiers here
Their faces fixed like stone?
I can't see what it is that they despise
They're dancing with the missing
They're dancing with the dead
They dance with the invisible ones
Their anguish is unsaid
They're dancing with their fathers
They're dancing with their sons
They're dancing with their husbands
They dance alone. They dance alone.
-Sting
