In fact, some of Rory's posts may be diagnostic for Creutzfeldt-Jakob. (And I did not throw up on you--I recall clearly it mostly ended up on my jacket.)

Yuck!!! -- I got a new book for Christmas. "Why Do Men Have Nipples?" by mark Leyner and Billy Goldberg, M.D. -- It says that eating brains can be hazerdous to your health! "A rare disease called Kuru can occur from eating human brains, which killed about 10 percent or the Fore, a New Guinea tribe of cannibals. ..." There's more at the store.

He was there mostly to promote <em>Afro-Samurai</em>, but he said a few words about <em>Jumper</em>. I just don't know <em>what</em> words.

For me it's the degree of realism. Nobody jumps out of a second story window firing an uzi and lands running. On the other hand, it was filmed entirely in France so the colesseum they used was Roman but not Rome. Ronin is a good movie. For me it’s the degree of realism.

John Maddox Roberts points out that the climatic battle between Ymir the Venusian monster and an elephant takes place in the Colosseum in <em>20 Million Miles to Earth</em>. Since this is Ray Harryhausen stop action animation, they were probably working in a model, mostly.
