    Absolutely wonderful film. Terrific, mind challenging entertainment, great music and dancing, an insight into the backstage of broadway, and Jessica Lange's breasts. /sings "Who could ask for anything more..."

    True enough. "Inoperable" simply means not worth mucking about with. Bye, Tammy, and thanks for the tip; I'm selling all my stock in Revlon.

    I'm sure it's nothing a few hundred million dollars in donations won't be able to cure.

    There really isn't a "too far" as long as one is not, say, doing comedic material at someone's funeral. It took about 1 day here in the states for the 9/11 jokes to start. The record though, is about 30 seconds; when the shuttle Challenger exploded, I got a phone call before all the debris had landed asking if I knew what "NASA" stood for; need another seven astronauts". It's very natural to react to tragedy with humor. Hell, I thinks it's probably healthy. When a good friend of mine passed recently from a life of the good life, his brother mentioned during the eulogy that we were holding the funeral so long after the death because it was his wish to be cremated, and he burned for six days.

    I suppose I really ought to put some effort into to finding one that suits me as I've been using a retread from the fuzzy one for so long now.

    James Doohan

    He's dead, Jim. http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/TV/...n.ap/index.html LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- James Doohan, the burly chief engineer of the Starship Enterprise in the original "Star Trek" TV series and motion pictures who responded to the command "Beam me up, Scotty," died early Wednesday. He was 85. Doohan died at 5:30 a.m. (1330 GMT) at his Redmond, Washington, home with his wife of 28 years, Wende, at his side, Los Angeles agent and longtime friend Steve Stevens said. The cause of death was pneumonia and Alzheimer's disease, he said. The Canadian-born Doohan was enjoying a busy career as a character actor when he auditioned for a role as an engineer in a new space adventure on NBC in 1966. A master of dialects from his early years in radio, he tried seven different accents. "The producers asked me which one I preferred," Doohan recalled 30 years later. "I believed the Scot voice was the most commanding. So I told them, 'If this character is going to be an engineer, you'd better make him a Scotsman.' " The series, which starred William Shatner as Capt. James T. Kirk and Leonard Nimoy as the enigmatic Mr. Spock, attracted an enthusiastic following of science fiction fans, especially among teenagers and children, but not enough ratings power. NBC canceled it after three seasons. When the series ended in 1969, Doohan found himself typecast as Montgomery Scott, the canny engineer with a burr in his voice. In 1973, he complained to his dentist, who advised him: "Jimmy, you're going to be Scotty long after you're dead. If I were you, I'd go with the flow." "I took his advice," said Doohan, "and since then everything's been just lovely. (Best part about being a mod is the ability to fix your own screw ups before anyone sees them. )
