Rick Moranis is so brilliant. He was my favorite on SCTV even though they were all great. But he could be anyone: Woody Allen, Jerry Todd the "vj", Dick Caveat . . . just brilliant.
I highly recommend the book "A Rage to Live: A Biography of Richard and Isabel Burton" by Mary S. Lovell. A fascinating book not only about Richard Burton's travels but also about his feisty wife Isabel who accompanied him on some of his travels.
I'm glad someone else mentioned that this was an awful movie based on a better book by Harry Harrison called "Make Room! Make Room!" There was practically nothing in the movie from the book other than the overpopulation issue. I wouldn't say this was Harrison's best book, but I used to like his other books and short stories when I was younger. It's been years since I've read them, though.
In 5th grade, I corrected someone as they tried to read the word "melancholy" which I knew from reading "Alice in Wonderland" but had never heard pronounced. I thought it was "mel-ANK-o-lee" and my 5th grade teacher (not a very patient person) made a very sharp, snotty comment which made me blush with shame. How was I supposed to know it was "melon-collie"?
