Even after myself and others asked everybody to stop discussing the ending of the BWP and take it to an appropriate venue, the conversation continues. Let me give you my history around this. I'm working my butt off through school and planning on starting graduate film school next fall. I am from Orlando(where the filmmakers are from). My mom works at the University of Central Florida(where the filmmakers attended school). I've been reading articles about this movie and following it closely since before it was sold to Artisan. I planned on seeing the film at the Florida Film Festival a few months back. It was sold out. I planned on seeing it on limited engagement in Orlando for two seperate weekends. Both were sold out. I returned to my new home in Tallahassee and I was gonna see Blair Witch, but I wanted to see it with my filmmaking friends in Orlando, so I decided to wait until this upcoming weekend. To summarize all of this, this is exactly what a filmmaker looks forward to and all of this taints it for me. Now, I've read hundreds and hundreds of articles on this movie. I've visited the Blair Witch Project web page. I've had discussions with tons of people who have seen the movie, but you know what? None of these sources felt it neccessary to discuss aspects of the plot at the END of the movie. Craig, I appreciate and accept your apology and am smart enough to realize that nobody means any harm. However, by even bringing up the questions of the details, it has already changed my perception of what will happen in the movie. I don't want to discuss that anymore, because then I become part of the problem. All I know is it's been five years since The Usual Suspects came out and I still don't discuss anything around the ending of that movie because it's just one of those things you don't do. Well, I now can head off for Orlando tommorrow. No easy internet connection for a couple weeks. I never thought that would be a good thing.

Sorry, i rarely go to the cinema and i would like to see this film, but i've read so much about it (and see so much on the news) that it's a bit jading. Anyway, the point i want to make is, has anyone seen The Vanishing. The franco/dutch one not the crummy remake. THAT'S scary. I've never been to a film where the audience were dumbstruck at the end. Not a sound as the credits rolled and we all shuffled out silently, not wanting to look at the people in line for the next show for fear of giving something away. Utter terror. Si if BWP is as good as that then it might have been worth all this talk/hype. Sorry for being cranky, it's morning and i'm tired.

Replying to a few things... sorry, no Liz content. First the bi-coastal (not to be confused with bi-polar) Danas... dana p in SoCal -- LOL on your reaction to my Woodstock report! You are too funny, girl. OK, I admit it, I torched a few tractor-trailers. But only a few. And I molested only myself. dp in nj -- no, I didn't get to see Ben Lee at Woodstock. He played on Friday (I think), and I didn't get there till Saturday evening. Bummer, 'cause I didn't get to see him in Syracuse either. I wish you had been able to come up for that! Blair Witch Project -- I saw it last Friday night with friends. It's worth seeing, even if it isn't as scary as I had hoped. Maybe I'll have flashbacks the next time I'm camping in the woods (I hope so! I love a good fright.) Most chilling moment: the shot of a gravestone early on, with a very legible name on it... my recent ex's last name. (He has relatives in Maryland -- could be his grandfather's grave!) I gasped quite audibly -- everyone in the theatre turned to look at me. Still sore from being bashed over the head with the symbolism... Eyes Wide Shut -- another thumbs-up in my book. Man, I want to BE Nicole Kidman, or at least get to act the roles she gets. (Yes, I act locally.) I was utterly transfixed by her confession scene. This film speaks volumes to my own theories about fantasy vs. reality, particularly in the sexual arena. The former is often so much better than the latter. Once in a while, you have to hold yourself back from the temptation... Michael Carapella -- ooo, I feel bad that you got no responses to your great query re: top 5 positive, non-angry songs. So off the top of my head, here are 5... uh, 6 (non-Liz, non-indie, non-cool) choices from me: 1) These Are Days, 10,000 Maniacs (does anyone remember the Fox show "Class of '96" from around 1992? My introduction to Jason Gedrick, mmmm) 2) tie for "Obvious-Bordering-on-Overplayed-Yet-Still-Very-Viable Choice:" Ray of Light, Madonna (I just love this song!) and Every Day is a Winding Road, Sheryl Crow (I never grow tired of it -- love the percussion and bass twists/turns) 3) Break My Stride, Matthew Wilder (kinda cheesy early 80s one-hit wonder, but nonetheless always cheers me up; helped get me through some rough times like Nicole W.'s current situation) 4) All the Time in the World, The Subdudes (people, you must check these guys out! Bluesy New Orleans groove... why are they not more well-known?) 5) Life is a Carnival, The Band (and these guys are the carnies... just kidding! Gives the proper perspective on life.) Naughty girl, get back to work.

What, if any, are her beliefs on the whole "god" thing? |> -Mike Sorry Mike. The Blair Witch Project seems to be a movie that most of this list has enjoyed discussing (and i dont really care who has seen it or not) Its like someone said that you'd have to be living under a rock to have not heard anything about it. So if you (or anyone) actually went to see it, and you feel that Support System members have ruined it for you... email me and I'll send you some tears. You cannot ruin this movie. They say exactly what is going to happen in the beginning anyway. So ten minutes into it you know the story. Its not the plot that makes it a good movie. Go see it and quit bitching... and if you've seen it and didnt like it... see it again because you either missed something or you had alot of expectations for the film. I wasnt scared throughout the movie (maybe a little spooked when that guy with axe came out-- oops! wrong movie sorry) but I was intrigued by the camera work and the actual idea of being with them... I also liked the way they didnt really 'act' like actors... a nice dose of reality to shake things up. But if you dont want to read about TBWP... my suggestion is: scroll past it. It's that simple. And on Liz and religion: I think the obvious states that she is catholic (help me,mary) but hell she could worship satan for all I know. And by calling the TBWP a "weak little film" I think Mike has made the understatement of the century. |>No way man.

M-- There are many pills and drinks out there claiming to help you test clean for drugs, but none of them are proven to work and most arent approved by the FDA. My advice to anyone who buys "get clean quick" products is: if you have never tried them -- do not rely on it. Many people claim they work, but also many claim they do not. I have never tried any of these products, so I cannot say they work. I have had friends say they used them and passed, but based on that alone... I would not reccomend them. Maybe along with flushing out with water and cranberry juice as an added protection... but why waste the money if you have plenty of time?? You will fail a test if you do not flush yourself for at least 30 days... trust me-- been there-- failed some, passed some... But my advice to anyone who takes frequent tests or is worried about a test -- dont smoke weed, because it stays in your system longer than most other drugs. If you *must* use drugs and you get tested alot, or have a test coming up: LSD does not show up on a piss test, only a spinal tap... so trip and have fun... later alligators-- gonna go vote @ http://www.freevote.com/booth/rollergirl because i think it matters if Liz wins... i dont care if she gets any recognition, i just think shes hot! ~jaime* - - - ------------------------------- HempStock 1999!!!

SPOILERS: Well...just the fact of going into the creepy maryland woods, and coffin rock, and black rock road..everything is creepy sounding..its around falltime which is freaky too...and its dark, and u hear sounds and u dont know what the hell it is, it's probably the witch, but who knows? and the way the mary lady describes the witch, its freaky to picture her walking around...a big dark black cloak, LOTS of hair all over, horse legs, and stuff..that's freaky..and I think I wanted to freak myself so much that it didn't work, but now when I think about it, its freaky...and the thought of this run down house in the middle of the woods, and when u think about it..the guy screaming..u dont know where he is, but obviously he's being tortured, or its the witch making voices, but anyway..the next day u find his teeth or something tied up in sticks..its like their little present, and then just the thought of being with the only other person..and u feel like ur at least with the other person, and u walk into this freaky house, and ur running back down the stairs, at least thinking someone else is there to see whatever ur seeing, and u just feel secure being with them, and to find them standing facing the wall, like they're completely out of the picture..and its like "ur turn to die" and then u dont see whatever kills her, but imagine this big tall scary witch standing there, and after that taking the insides out, and when u put together real people with a freaky witch, I dunno, it is creepy,...maybe its not creeping me out as much as I thought it would, but I finally am feeling a little creeped out..BUT what is making me not as creeped, is because u dont see the witch AT ALL, like one glance, and the witch doesn't really attack them until the end, so it just makes it seem like they're hearing weird things and running, they shoulda had more scary stuff during the night scenes AND during the day, but oh well! I love it though!! ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 5 Aug 1999 16:47:49 -0700 (PDT) From: Meow Grrl Subject: liz and my cellphone ok, so I can't believe I'm doing, never mind posting, this lame-assed thing, but here goes: so I'm shopping for a cell phone. I call Sprint PCS. The dear heart on the other end of the phone was very patient with me as she answered all my questions (I had done a ton of research; it's what I do for my job anyway, sort of), and we became buds. When it came time to get assigned a phone number, she said, would you like to go in the database with me and choose another number if you don't like the one that comes up? Now, I don't know about you, but I have moved TOO FUCKING MANY times in my life and I have NEVER had a cool phone number, nor have I been given the option to choose my own. Usually I get a shitty one, then I ask can I change it, pretty please, and they're like: "Bite me." So I say: COOL! Let's choose a number. She first gives me a number with the last four digits being 6037. (The first 7 were, unfortunately, non-negotiable.) I didn't want a zero in it b/c I wanted, if possible, to be able to SPELL something with my number. Do any of you do that? Well, actually, *I* don't, b/c I think I've cornered the market on zeroes and ones in phone numbers, forcing my poor callers to have to remember digits instead of a word. Yeah, kinda crazy I guess, but I have *never* been able to say "Just call FAMILEE" (the way one of my outofstate friends can) or "SANDRAB," or anything else equally catchy. This was my big chance! So I don't like 6037 b/c of the zero. She says, OK, the next free number without the zero is 6113, and then there's a whole bunch of numbers after that in order, and they're not *all* available, but most of them are. So I am thinking: OK, 61--? 61--? What do I want after 61? Come on guys, you can guess this one! This is the Support System, after all! (You didn't think I'd get to Liz content, did you?) So of course, my new cell phone number ends in: 6152. am I crazy? probably. - -sandra NP: the sound of my car starting as I rush home; I've been shopping for my phone at work, and it is now 7:46 PM. _____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

And of course now, 2 weeks after painting the grass... well geez...it died..but only in an 40 by 20 foot section. So now the old grass which was dull in comparison now looks simply vibrant.. Is it just me or has MRE's last few posts actually made sense?

Batchelor #2 is just a beatiful, gorgeous album/CD. A little sad with titles like Calling it Quits, The Fall of the Worlds Great Optimist(Aimee?), and Nothing is Good Enough though. Think she might be talking to us? I can't get the song Red Vines out of my head. She also signed autographs after the show. Had her sign my CD.(She looked like Daryl Hannah w/shades minus like 25 lbs. I must have looked like Jack Sprat compared to her) Anyway I told her how much I liked her and that being a huge Liz Phair fan, I loved her guitar player. I also told her there were alot of Liz fans that also love Aimee. She liked that. Oh and she signed Love, Aimee. She loves me yeah, yeah, yeah. Pretenders, Sheryl Crow, and SM were also excellent. Unfortunately my daughters favorite was MYA! Eeeek. After all can Liz tap dance. That Ghetto Superstar sounds suspiciously like Islands in the Stream by Kenny Rogers/Dolly Parton. I must be getting senile. Lilith gets cut on alot but I was thinking about what would be a dream Lilith lineup. Performers that either played or Sarah wanted. (This to sneak Sleater-Kinney in)? Putting in no particular order: Sarah(of course I'd put her on the Village Stage), Liz Phair(duh), Sleater-Kinney, Jen Trynin, Kristen Hersh(or better Throwing Muses!), Sheryl Crow, Luscious Jackson, Lucinda Williams of course Aimme Mann. When you think about it there have been alot of great performers! BTW Chris Hynde said the reason she hadn't played Lilith before is because she couldn't answer the questionare SM sent the performers. The question. What do you call the useless piece of skin at the end of a penis?????? A man. I bet Liz(and for that matter Nicole, KB, Hurricane Cindy and others) could have got it! Time to Shut UP, Bill in CT P.S. I couldn't resist. Whoever wanted to know if Liz had any piercings, based on pictures I have and seeing her at Wellesley she definately has no nipple rings. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 06 Aug 1999 04:42:33 GMT From: "Clint Curry" Subject: Hello everyone Hey guys, I joined this list tonight and thought I'd introduce myself. I am just discovering Liz Phair more and more. I bought "whitechocolatespaceegg" in March and I really liked it. Later I bought "Exile in Guyville." I liked a few songs from the start, but it took me a little longer before I really started getting into it, and I still am. I got "whip-smart" a couple of days ago for my birthday and I think it is really cool. BTW: Sheryl Crow is my favorite artist, and I hear a lot of people that like Liz like Sheryl as well. Hope this is vise-versa. PS: Has anyone seen "The Blame Game" on MTV. Don't you think the girl counselor looks a bit like Liz? Anyway, here's to new beginnings! _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
