Quote: Hello all,
I am sorry for cross posting, but this has got to be on topic for all of
these groups.
I saw this movie on the Turner channel on TV about 1999. I had never seen
it before and have not seen it afterward. This is an old 1940's or 1950's
black and white mystery. It is a hard-boiled-dick, gum-shoe, story in the
style of Dashiell Hammett or Raymond Chandler . It takes place in a large
city, maybe LA, but it could be San Francisco. It was defiantly a
waterfront city, so it may have been New York or Boston.
The story was mostly forgettable. It was probably about a gorgeous babe
and
a bunch of bad guys. The last scene was quite something though. The end
of
the movie is a chase and a gunfight taking place under the planks of a
waterfront pier. The good guy is, of course, hiding from the bad guy,
under the boardwalk. I think he ends up shooting the bad guy through the
planks.
Does anyone have any idea as to the name of this movie? I would like to
get a copy on DVD or VHS if I can find it.
Thanks

|A REQUEST FOR A NEW MODERATOR FOR REC.ARTS.MOVIES.REVIEWS
|
|Rotten Tomatoes first volunteered to moderate the rec.arts.movies.reviews
|newsgroup four years ago after Stephen Graham from the University of
|Washington decided to retire from moderating, also after four years
|of moderating. At this point, we're looking to pass on moderator
|responsibilities to someone else and we're hoping that we can find one
|of you to volunteer.
|
|As you might know, this newsgroup has a long and rich tradition, being
|one of the birthplaces of both IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes.
Good to know! Those sites have pretty good archives.
|It's our hope that this tradition can continue but it can only happen
|with the help of a volunteer.
Well, for one thing, de-moderating rec.arts.movies.reviews is also a
possibility, but you'd see tons more noise if that were done.
|The responsbility is minimal. You will need access to posting to USENET
|(Google Groups is probably a good starting place to do so)
Now, I'm not sure why you said that. There are many Internet Service
Providers out there that offer access to their newsserver, and many
of them offer much better user interfaces than Google does.
|and an email account to which you can accept reviews from other RAMR
|film critics. After this is established, we will make changes so that
|any reviews posted to RAMR will automatically be directed to your email
|account. You will then be responsible for simply posting the appropriate
|reviews to the newsgroup. We are currently getting about 5-10 reviews
|each day sent to RAMR.
|
|In addition to posting to RAMR, it's been a tradition that the reviews
|are crossposted to IMDb by emailing reviews to them for their
|rec.arts.movies.reviews archive.
That sounds like a good thing. The Internet Movie Database (IMDB) has
proved very useful to me every time I went there.
|This is not a requirement in order to be the RAMR moderator, but all
|moderators up till this point have performed this task so that RAMR
|reviewers may also have their reviews available on IMDb.
|
|Please email stephen (at) rottentomatoes.com if you're interested in
|assuming this role. Unfortunately, we're going to have to drop this
|responsibility at Rotten Tomatoes after four years because our need
|to use our editors in other important areas.
Rottentomatoes seems like a pretty good website to go to, but when I
attempt to use a webbrowser to go there, it jams up on me. I have
somewhat better luck at http://www.imdb.com. Then again, maybe it's
just my computer having a hard time with Internet Explorer...
|Thanks for your attention!

Well, I sympathize with you. To do the job well, you'd have to read
tons and tons of reviews (and God knows how many near-reviews) every
week. I guess you have a mailbox that is constantly overflowing.
Isn't the issue of moderator burnout distantly "on topic" in
news.groups? |

your Paypal Account 3. Delete email address #1 and add your email address as
#6. Move all others #2-#6 up one number 4. Copy and Post this entire Letter
to Newsgroups, Messages Boards etc.
Copy this exactly for you guidance to completing steps 1-4. You are in
Business for yourself and you are Creating an E-mail List Company TURN $6
INTO $15,000 IN ONLY 30 DAYS...HERES HOW!
PAYPAL VERIFIES THAT THIS $6 INVESTMENT SCHEME IS 100% LEGAL AND IS A BIG
HIT THIS YEAR SEE THEIR NOTE BELOW OR ASK THEM DIRECTLY... THIS SCHEME MIGHT
TAKE 15-30 MINUTES AND JUST $6, BUT IT IS 100% WORTH IT TO MAKE THOUSANDS SO
QUICKLY. THIS IS NOT ANOTHER SCAM THAT TAKES LOTS OF YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY;
THIS IS A NO RISK INVESTMENT THAT WILL MAKE YOU THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS VERY
EASILY AND QUICKLY.
Quote: From PayPal:
"Dear Member, it has come to our attention that there is a paypal scheme
floating around at the moment you may have heard or seen the $6 scheme. You
may have even taken part in it well we have been asked a lot of questions
about this scheme the answer is yes it does work and yes it is safe to use
providing you follow the rules it is legal and has made a big hit on the
internet this year. If you would like to take part in this scheme or would
like a bit more information then please see the attached file that was
kindly donated to us. Thank you for using PayPal!"
TURN $6 INTO $15,000 IN ONLY 30 DAYS...HERES HOW! This is a Money Scheme and
Not, I repeat. This is Not a Scam!!!
You have most likely seen or heard about this project on TV programs such as
20/20 and Oprah, or you may have read about it in the Wall Street Journal.
If not, here it is below - revealed to you in step-by-step detail. This
program is by no means new. It has been in existence in many forms for at
least a decade. But in the early days, it required a lot more time and
effort, as well as an investment of a few hundred dollars. However thanks to
PayPal and the Internet, the investment is now virtually ZERO! And what's
more, the entire process is FASTER, EASIER, and MORE LUCRATIVE than it has
EVER been! Below is the email sent to me:
How to Turn $6 into $15,000 in 30 Days with PayPal I WAS SHOCKED WHEN I SAW
HOW MUCH MONEY CAME FLOODING INTO MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT I turned $6 into $14,706
within the first 30 days of operating the business plan that I am about to
reveal to you free of charge. If you decide to take action on the following
instructions, I will GUARANTEE that you will enjoy a similar return! STILL
NEED PROOF? Here are just 3 testimonials from the countless individuals who
decided to invest nothing more than $6 and half an hour of their time to
participate in this program:
"What an amazing plan! I followed your instructions just 3 weeks ago, and
although I haven't made 15 grand yet, I'm already up to $9,135. I'm
absolutely gob smacked." -Pam Whittemore , Ohio
"Well, what can I say?... THANK YOU SO MUCH! I sent 40 e-mail's out like you
said and then I just forgot about the whole thing. To be honest, I didn't
really think anything would come of it. But when I checked my paypal account
a week later, there was over $5,000 in After 30 days I now have over $11,000
to spend! I can't thank you enough!"-Juan Tovar, NY,NY
"I was shocked when I saw how much money came flooding into my paypal
account. Within 3 weeks my account balance has ballooned to $12,449. At
first I thought there had been some sort of error with my account!" -Richard
Barrie , Boulder,CO
The only things you will need are: An email address. A Business PayPal
account with at least $6 deposited in it, and just 15 to 30 minutes of your
time. This program takes just half an hour to set up. After that, there is
absolutely no work whatsoever to do on your part. You have absolutely
NOTHING to lose, and there is NO LIMIT to the amount of income you can
generate from this one single business program.
Let's get started, just follow the instructions exactly as set out below and
then prepare yourself for a HUGE influx of cash over the next 30 days!
Here's what you need to do. . .
REQUIREMENTS
#1) an email address #2) a Premier or Business PayPal account
(It's simple and free to get a Premier or Business account, if you need help
doing it just email me.)
Now follow the steps: 1-4
________________________________________
Follow these easy steps EXACTLY and just watch what happens
STEP #1 - Setting up your FREE PayPal Account
It's extremely safe and very easy to set up a FREE PayPal account! Copy and
paste this to the address bar https://www.paypal.com (notice the secure
"https" within the link)
Be sure to sign up for a free PREMIER or BUSINESS account (and not just a
PERSONAL account) otherwise you won't be able to receive credit card
payments from other people.
STEP #2 - Sending PayPal money "It is an undeniable law of the universe that
we must first give in order to receive."
Now all you have to do is send $1.00 by way of PayPal to each of the six
email addresses listed below. After setting up your free paypal account and
confirming or verifying YOUR ACCOUNT AND putting (six Dollars) $6.00 into
your Paypal Account use the Account tab on Paypal to send $1.00 to each of
the Names on the List then move the top one and place yours in the #6 spot
on the list of names #1-#6. Remember your name becomes #6.
Make sure the subject of the payment says... *PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR EMAIL
LIST* (this keeps the program 100% legal.. so please don't forget!)
Note: (If you do not see the full email address for the 6 members, just hit
reply to this email and they will show up.)
(Just in case you still haven't opened your PayPal account yet, use this
link to open one in your name), https://www.paypal.com
#1) professor@punkass.com
#2) loki123@seznam.cz
#3) bald@inbox.lv
#4) fredwdjr@yahoo.com
#5) maintenanceman69@aol.com
#6) glpratt@optusnet.com.au
Remember, all of this is ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are creating a service! A
Business. An Email List Service Business
If you have any doubts, please refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1241 of the
United States Postal laws.
STEP #3 - Adding Your Email Address
After you send your six $1.00 payments, it's your turn to add your email
address to the list!
Take the #1) email off the list that you see above, move the other addresses
up one (6 becomes 5 & 5 becomes 4, 4 becomes 3, 3 becomes 2, 2 becomes 1,
your email becomes #6) put YOUR email address (the one used in your PayPal
account) as #6) on the list.
**MAKE SURE THE EMAIL YOU SUPPLY IS EXACTLY AS IT APPEARS IN YOUR PAYPAL
ACCOUNT.**
STEP #4 - Copy Message to 200 Newgroups, message boards,etc.. The Pure Joy
of Receiving PayPal Money!
________________________________________
You are now ready to post your copy of this message, to at least 200
newsgroups, message boards, etc. (I think there are close to 32,000 groups)
All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you
make - as well as everyone else on the list! In this situation your job is
to let as many people see this letter as possible. So they will make you and
me rich!!!! You can even start posting the moment your email is confirmed.
Payments will still appear in your PayPal account even while your bank
account is being confirmed.
HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS & MESSAGE BOARDS
Step #1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own
posting. Simply put your CURSOR at the beginning of this letter and drag
your CURSOR to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit
menu. This will copy the entire letter into your computer's temporary
memory.
Step #2) Open a blank 'Notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the
blank page. From the 'Edit' menu select 'Paste'. This will paste a copy of
the letter into notepad so that you can add your email to the list. Or copy
to a Word Document. and Place in the email upon completion.
Step #3) Save your new Notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your
postings in different sittings, you'll always have this file to go back to.
Step #4) Use Netscape or Internet Explorer and try searching for various
newsgroups, on-line forums, message boards, bulletin boards, chat sites,
discussions, discussion groups, online communities, etc. EXAMPLE: go to any
search engine like yahoo.com, google.com, altavista.com, excite.com - then
search with subjects like? millionaire message board? or money making
message board? or opportunity message board? or money making discussions? or
business bulletin board? or money making forum? etc. You will find thousands
& thousands of message boards. Click them one by one then you will find the
option to post a new message.
Step #5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message
by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting 'Paste' from the
'Edit' menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees
as they scroll thru the list of postings in a particular group, click the
post message button. You're done with your first one!
Congratulations! THAT'S IT!! All you have to do is jump to different
newsgroups and post away. After you get the hang of it, it will take about
30 seconds for each newsgroup!
REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS AND/OR MESSAGE BOARDS YOU POST IN, THE MORE
MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200**
That's it! You will begin receiving money within days!
**JUST MAKE SURE THE EMAIL YOU SUPPLY IS EXACTLY AS IT APPEARS ON PAYPAL.**
Explanation of why it works so well:
$$$$$ NOW THE WHY PART: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a
very low example). So then I Made $5.00 with my email at #6 on the letter.
Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200
postings, each with my email at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the
original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200
MINIMUM posts with my email at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in
an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the
MINIMUM 200 with my email at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make
an additional $625.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625
persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my email at #2 and they only receive
5 replies that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all
deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my email at #1 and if still 5
persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625.00! With an original
investment of only $6.00! AMAZING!! When your email is no longer on the
list, you just take latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another
$6.00 to emails on the list, putting your email at number 6 again. And start
posting again.
The thing to remember is, thousands of people all over the world are joining
the internet and reading these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!!
So can you afford $6?? And see if it really works?? I think so? People have
said, what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what
are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users
and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday
and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new
users everyday, with thousands of those joining the actual Internet.
Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will work. This really isn't
another one of those crazy scams! As long as people follow through with
sending out $6.00, it works!
With warm wishes, bless you and your loved ones, https://www.paypal.com |

It would be helpful if cases of 2 movies having the exact same title
etc., but different run times, would be treated as 2 different movies.
Sometimes restored versions of a film have previously deleted footage
added back in.
A keyword search on the movie description as well as the movie title
would be useful.
A keyword search on the cast would be useful, ie. shows movies with
your favorite director or actor.

The biggest rub with the time thing is that no one seems to agree on how
long anything is in the first place. It's not uncommon for the movie
channel, AMG, and IMDB to each list different lengths for the same movie.
What I'm trying to do now is create new entries with different titles for
different versions (ie Apocalypse Now Redeux, Deadline (director's cut)).
As for your searching suggestions, the cast/director search gets bundled in
with genre in that these aren't fields I currently carry. To carry them I'd
either have to license data from someone who does (expensive, I checked) or
collect it on my own. At present I'm maxed out with the data I do carry, if
the site ever gets to where it's got a staff greater than one (me) it's on
the list. Until then, there's not a lot I can do.
But you did mention something I liked a lot. I thought before (about a year
ago) about enabling description searches but at that time most of them were
two lines long and I didn't see much value. Since then however, I have been
using longer descriptions and favoring those with cast and directors
mentioned... duh!!! So look for description searching in a month or so!
Thanks for the feedback! I've worked through things from my own perspective
and alternate points of view are critical. |
