>(ick), followed by the 'you've been with him' comment.
This was one of the numerous things that made me just shake my head and wonder who had been smoking what. It just *has* to be an "editing error" (Caveat: By "editing error" I mean an error by whomever was in charge of deciding which scenes go in which order and is not intended to defame "editors" per se.) Faith boinks Duncan and then returns to Kell and he says "you've been with him"- that's fine and dandy (not clever repartee but chronologically viable). Kell says "you've been with him" and *then* Faith goes off and boinks Duncan - stupid, stupid, stupid.
Wasn't *anyone* in charge of actually *watching* this movie *before* they sent it off to be copied 100,000 times? DDP could have waited 2 more months to release the DVD (was anyone *that* desperate to own it?) and maybe...just maybe..gotten it *right*. Maybe it was too late (way too late) to actually create a plot and hire new actors <snicker> ..but they could have at least arranged the scenes they had in the "right" order. Is that really too much to ask?

(No comment--just wanted to see that again.)
Cinescape mag is the latest to ding the pathetic mess of a theater release.
(Current issue offhandedly calls it "underwhelming.") Duh.

As was the placement of the Joe'sgothisgun scene. That MUST have been
intended to happen during the MacLeod boys' rooftop spat. It's like the
person creating the PCut was sweeping up the cutting room floor &, when he
found a new scene of marginally usable quality, he just stuck it
in--anyplace.
>>>It just *has* to be an "editing error" (Caveat: By "editing error" I mean

order and is not intended to defame "editors" per se.)>>>
Wimp. (Let's see--my will is made, pets have foster homes ready, I already
ate the good Easter candy, there's no new HL to live for & even LFN is all
gone....)
>>>Wasn't *anyone* in charge of actually *watching* this movie *before* they

The whole thing appears very rushed. The blob-formerly-known-as-JVC-sign,
for instance--finely crafted bit of FX? I think not. And the awful
dubbing--they couldn't wait for AP to do his own???
Nina (glad you're back, Wendy--feared all that Raven had done you in; more
Euros, please??? is the QoS discussion list as kaput as QoS?)

LOL, Gerry!!
You are so right, that one really tickled me, they, of course, couldn't leave
it in the movie (but I suppose they could have will all the other mistakes
that were made!!!), but it sure tickled my funny bone :>)
Forever Peace,

Hi All,
I was _really_ bored, so I went over to eBay. The HL store seems to be
remaindering all its stuff and a Closeout Store is selling a lot of new
merchandise on eBay.
Just in case you don't have enough HL stuff and too much money or
something ... <snerk>

Bummer - got this from iwon.com celeb news/gossip section:
A hunky Scottish actor who recently played a super-sexed Attila the Hun and
hot-blooded Count Dracula is being wooed to portray another famous
lady-killer - James Bond. Gerard Butler is set to meet with Bond producers to
discuss taking over the coveted role of Agent 007 from Pierce Brosnan,
according to Scotland's Daily Record.
It's not the whole thing. I'm not sure I know who this guy is but dagnabbit
I want to see AP in that role!!!!
