DePalma actually put together a nice film that doesn't particularly upset anyone except the satanists in the audience. I also thought that 'Blow out' was quite a good film. Speaking of Phantom of the Paradise, I've been looking for a copy of this film for my vcr library-- it simply doesn't seem to be available anywhere locally. Has anyone out there found a copy, and if so, where? I'm going to start tracking it down through a couple of mail order firms, but if someone has already succeeded I'd love to shorten the search pattern. chuq -- From the Department of Bistromatics: Chuq Von Rospach {cbosgd,decwrl,fortune,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo}!nsc!chuqui nsc!chuqui@decwrl.ARPA I'd know those eyes from a million years away....
