Hi, lapsus! <grin> Confess I have never heard of most of the movies mentioned here, nor Michael Moore. Billy Connolly, I have, though, thanks to a clip a friend sent me. He is funny!
(Man, y'all are killin' me with all these Rx! Has anybody figured out how to simultaneously read a book and watch a movie? There are so many of each that I want to experience but don't have time for...)

nope, but I do know that if you go to the theatre and sit in the front row with your copy of Hamlet and follow along, line by line and page by page, eventually a pissed-off actor will snatch the book from your hands and fling it down the vom....I heard about it happening at Stratford (Canada, not England!)! Ahhhh....Wish I'd been there to see that!
I s'pose you could always get the book on tape and play it in your Walkman at the cinema.... [dead serious-e]

checking up on them!
We'll see that sometimes during chorus performances. It can be a little disconcerting.

Vom... = vomitory?
close enough! since the word is "vomitorium" but I just looked it up in my trusty dic and the definition was "vomitory"....There are two of them at the Festival Theatre at Stratford (Ontario!), kinda downstage L and R (WO'N, can you have "downstage" on a thrust stage?! guess you need some way of referring to the front of the stage...as much as a thrust stage has a front....). - They serve (at Stratford) as an entrance/exit from/to the area under the stage, which they call the Underworld.
'Tis quite a beautiful stage altogether - if any of y'all ever gets there, it's well worth trying to fit in a backstage tour (as well as going to a performance, of course!).
Back to movies/films/fillums/the pictures/the talkies: About A Boy just came out on video. Well worth a look - Hugh Grant actually can act, after all! and that little boy - can't remember his name, alas - but what a great face he has. Toni Collette is wonderful in this too.

I saw a movie on PBS a few weeks ago that I liked quite a bit called "Almost a Woman". Hope you can find it.
