Not unless you could prove that a. fat content is addictive, and b. that they upped the fat content in the food way beyond it's normal level WITH THE EXPRESS OF PURPOSE OF GETTING PEOPLE ADDICTED. That is the real issue of what the tobacco companies did. The stuff they put in to help up the nicotine content also is the source of most of the carcinogens as well, I believe. SOOOO the cancer is a direct result of their meddling.

When the idea for a MI movie was first pitched, Cruise (who is basically executive in charge of the whole franchise) said he wanted to do a series of films where highly stylistic directors (Depalma, Woo) could each make their own imprint on what they thought Mission Impossible to be. On set, Cruise told Woo to forget everything that happened in the first movie. Basically the franchise will be redefining itself each time out. Personally, I think it's a cool idea. Know your stuff.

I think the "Since this time Kevin has claimed the songs as his own and seemed to have forgotten who did what." part in Rich's biography is based on him not getting credit for his work on the "Music Meant To Be Heard" tape... However, this was not a commercial release, but a tape tree by fans... If you check the liner notes of Kevin Moore's CD "This Is A Recording", you will notice Rich got credit for his work on the demos. Maybe it is time Mr. Kern updated his biography.

I think it might be cool if John Woo directed a James Bond flick, but I've not seen anything from M:I2 that has made me want to see it, except for John Woo's trademark (and over the top) totally impossible action stunts. Hollywood must love that guy. I'll take American Beauty over basically any action flick any day. ===== *Trent AIM- el trento or PageRiff ICQ- 65190048 Napster- cybertrent Is this the part where I'm supposed to say something funny? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

That section right there is brilliant IMO I was really amazed to see that SB could capture a sound so close to actual spanish music or flamenco (im using the term flamenco lightly) . Much better than other examples..say like Another dimension (blech that accordion sound with the reggae like guitar behind it , although JP's acoustic solo that follows is awesome) .. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 28 Mar 2000 12:20:41 -0800 (PST) From: Brian Hansen To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: The Matrix -> Dark City Message-ID: With all this talk about "The Matrix", I would also highly recommend seeing "Dark City" (if you haven't already). It came out a year before The Matrix. It's a fast paced movie, with a similar plot to The Matrix, but slightly more complex. my $.02, BH __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

SOOOO the cancer is a direct result of their meddling And I suppose the woman had NO CLUE that cigarettes both 1.) were addictive and 2.) caused cancer. It says right on the cigarette packs that the smokes cause cancer. What right would she have to sue? Also, the reason cigarettes are so addictive is because they have a more potent, more addictive form of nicotine sprayed on the leaves AFTER the natural nicotine present in tobacco is stripped off. This process is not done to (quality) cigars, and yet these cause cancer, also. It is not so much a direct result of the nicotinizing(?) process. Marijuana, for example, has 10 times the tar content of cigarette tobacco, and is therefore ten times as likely to give you cancer. The only difference is that people smoke far more cigarettes than joints (in most cases). Mary Jane, though, is not *physically* addictive, so there is no real correlation between addictiveness (?) and cancer, save that the people addicted to cigarettes smoke too much and get cancer as a result. /me knows too much about tobacco for his own good and smokes anyway. What a waste of tax dollars. Regards, Josh Calkin: URL: http://DarkHarmony.tripod.com E-Mail: email_address_removed email_address_removed ICQ: 22473371, AOL IM: DarkHarmony13
