31 Can someone explain BARTON FINK?
So far as I can tell, no. :-)
(However, http://www.homestead.com/mc4r/barton.html takes a good shot
at it.)
=====================================================================
From: bell@cs.tamu.edu (Will Bell):
Other information: There are several lists revolving around film that
are kept by netters. These frequently come up.
Evelyn Leeper (evelynleeper@geocities.com) provides several services for the
r.a.m readers (aside from her many postings), including maintaining
these lists:
-- Academy Award Nominations & Winners from 1987 on
-- Hollywood Vocabulary (such terms as chopsocky, bowed,
helmed, etc.)
-- Information on what all those people listed in film
credits do (e.g. key grip, gaffer...).
Evelyn is also the moderator of the group rec.arts.movies.reviews, which
is a collection of movie reviews written by USENET-ers.
The rec.arts.movies.reviews archives are currently stored on FTP.UU.NET
which is a UNIX machine, and are in the directory
~ftp/usenet/rec.arts.movies.reviews. The archives are currently
available to anyone with FTP access to this machine. The files are
arranged alphabetically in parallel directories, one with full-length
filenames, one with 14-character filenames. There is also a directory
with the reviews by archival number. Read the README in
~ftp/usenet/rec.arts.movies.reviews for details. You can also refer to
the INDEX* files, which will help you find reviews within festival
reports and so on. If you have no FTP access, you can request copies
of reviews (12 or less at a time) by sending mail to Evelyn.
Bob Niland (rjn@hpfcso.FC.HP.COM) has several articles on Laser Disc
technology and availability available from his archives. You may request
any of these at any time. Recent copies are also available for anonymous
ftp on:
princeton.edu (128.112.128.1, directory pub/Video/Niland) and
bobcat.bbn.com (128.89.2.103),
wsmr-simtel20.army.mil (192.88.110.20).
Lastly, there are a series of movie trivia contests. Some of these
even offer prizes! The initial contest postings generally include
information on how to enter. The important point is that you
should never post answers, but should send them e-mail.
