: : Hey you guys!
: There are several things I missed. Among other things, I missed the response to my post, which I hear was awful;( and the soldier #1 post with all that it entailed, because I haven't been up to date. Actually, from what Rich told me, I'm kinda glad. Oh well! I'm so glad we're back to the movie! I have two questions: (1)MARY! What would you call the syndrome for pausing at the scene where Uncas (YUM!) steps into view when Alice stops and stares at the water before proceeding up the rocks in the river walk scene? You know, I've never noticed the DDL's loincloth thing. Oh well, I guess I'll have to watch the movie AGAIN! (2) Can anyone help me get a copy of Eric's FOLLOW THE RIVER! I can send a tape! The movie places around my house have it listed at $97.95, meaning it's priced to rent, with no copies in the stores! AAAHHH!
: Also, there was talk about Jodhi May's mother on the set all the time during the filming, which may have prevented the LS from being shot:{! Well, when she turned 18, she filmed SISTER MY SISTER and I CAN'T IMAGINE her mother being on THAT set! A very, umm, controversial movie is this one.
: I'd also like to take this opportunity to reiterate what has been said "This Site ROCKS!!!" Thanks Rich and Elaine!! Anyway, all you guys are awesome and I always look forward to reading the posts. I sit in the computer lab at Loyola and laugh out loud, garnering some pretty mean looks from my coinhabitors! My fellow workers think I am insane. I just shrug and say (pointing to the posts on the computer screen) "I'm not the only one does this!" If the Chat Room happens, I will also need some help because I'm limited to a college internet connection.
: Keep watchin'!

Heather,
I did see Soldier's #1's post in the early morning hours (when I usually get some time to read all the posts) and I must admit I was taken aback, put didn't reply... decided, luckily, to leave it for a day. when I finally got back to it all was deleted, so missed yours, and other posts also, I guess from your post.
I, however, also have read the summary of that movie that Jodhi May was in, so this mom thing has always had me wondering...mom certainly wasn't on that set!
However, if you didn't notice DDL's loincloth scenes, I will leave that to other wits to explain that syndrome. I am sure Mary has a better name for the LOOK of Uncas at the river... but for now, how about SMITTEN (she's mine, is the timing ever naught?) (English 1A here I come) One last thing, I had read the book, Follow the River, several years ago, and was so excited to see that it was a TV movie... however, the book a great read, the movie a so-so, but it depends on what your're looking at it for. The scenery is great. I heard it was filmed around the LOTM locations, but can't find my article that said this. I have it on tape, good to hear it can be bought.
HAS EVERYONE SENT IN THEIR LETTER FOR THE DIRECTOR'S CUT?
