A big "thank you" for all your reponses, especially TEd for thanatomania, and maverick for your mortaphilia joke. That was an excellent way to lighten the morbid tone before the thread became moribund. The humorous end to the thread also suggested a new depth of meaning behind the age old cry of the failed stand-up comic: "I'm dyin' out here"

>Ted goes away, coffin in his windingsheet< AS my grandmother always said, It wasn't the cough that carried 'im off. But the coffin they carried 'im off in. Now what was that about sentences ending in prepositions???

In reply to:

Another fan? At last. Let me herald this great day by getting all maudlin over the fact that I haven't seen this work of cinemtographic genius in years.

Thanks for bringing this film to my attention. I must have missed it during my "tryingtobeafilmbuff" years. It looks like lots of other people like it too. It gets an average of ***** at eopinions.com http://www.epinions.com/ep?temp=allrev&res=mvie_mu-1009241&rt=mr
