Yeah, well Miles is sort of pathetic throughout the film but he has a moment of revelation when he realizes that his 'good looking' buddy that he always felt subordinate to (played by Thomas Hadden Church) is actually much much more pathetic than he. The scene where Miles tries to get wasted from the spitoon is funny but also so sad at the same time and his exploits with Virginia Madsen that basically go nowhere are also pathetic. |

According to Amazon.com the DVD is released by Warner Home Video. Leonard Maltin in one of his movie review books called Watership Down one of the best non Disney animated movies ever made.
I liked the movie but the book was much better. The movie screwed up the ending.  |

I'm glad I'm just typing this, because discussing it with people gets me all choked up. | I have this book. I keep meaning to read it but I never do. I might start it tonight actually. |

| | | Breaking The Waves is depressing, but bloody good. I am sure someone has mentioned it (maybe me?) but it needs to be mentioned again. Shows just how good "depressing" can be.

Luckily I listen to enough oldies stations that they often do...

All in all its a wonderful story.  |

He'll always be Hazel to me. |
