	Sandra Bullock was on Letterman last night promoting it.  Unfortunutly
	they didn't get to talk about the film much since Dave was more
	concerned with seeing Sandra naked.  FWIW, Sandra said she has done
	a nude scene in the early part of her career in a film set in the
	Amazon (and directed by the same person that directed "The Specialist").

    From what I can gather from the commercials, a subway token
    attendant sees this guy on the platform, it's love at first sight
    for her, he has an accident and is taken to the hospital in
    a coma.  She has rescued him, goes to the hospital with him,
    and a nurse, misunderstanding, announces to his family that 
    Bullock is his fiancee.
    
    The family welcomes her with open arms ... then the fun starts.

    	I thought she ended up falling for the guy's brother or some-
    	thing like that.  Oops.
    
    	Now tell me more about this nude scene.  8^)
    

    I didn't want to give it away!!!
    
    Wasn't the nude scene in Short Cuts, or am I thinking of another
    actress?

> Wasn't the nude scene in Short Cuts, or am I thinking of another actress?

	that was another actress (hint: "Short Cuts" did not have the
	Amazon as a back drop :-)

    
    :-) :-) Yes, but I didn't know if he got his movies mixed up just
    like I do!!  
    
    Besides, I've never seen Short Cuts!!!  I just remember a fuss made
    about some nude scene...

    Saw it at a sneak preview last Friday.  Cute screwball romantic comedy;
    no big surprises, but pretty well done.  Got a smattering of applause
    at the end (maybe this is a Worcester Area Sneak Preview Tradition?!).
    
    I haven't seen "Speed" or any of Sandra Bullock's other performances; I
    thought she was quite charming, and I liked (Whats-his-name) who played
    Jack (looks a lot like Jeff Daniels, IMO).

    	That's Bill Pullman, from "Spaceballs".
    

    The buzz is that Sandra Bullock turns Bill Pullman into a romantic
    lead, which is a compliment to both their abilities.

    .9, thanks; I tried to remember his name from the credits, but I guess
    memory is the second thing to go...
    
    .10, I agree with the buzz!  Lots of chemistry between them and they're
    both *adorable*.

    Saw the movie on Sat..... and its absolutley charming!! Great laughs,
    great fun! Its one of those movies where everything goes wrong for all
    the right reasons... see it as soon as you can!!
    

    
    Two thumbs up.  I liked this one.  I found myself with a smirk or smile
    on my face throughout most of the movie.  I liked the character Saul
    and just thought overall that the movie was good.  It's about time we
    got a good old fashioned romantic movie.
    
    Sandra Bullock did a great job and Pullman just made me smile.

    I think it was a short-lived TV show.

    A couple of nights ago the TV trailer called WYWS the #1 movie in
    America....

> A couple of nights ago the TV trailer called WYWS the #1 movie in America....

	That's just a creative marketing way of saying it was the top
	weekend grosser this past weekend :-)

    so what movie was she nude in??

    RE: 811.18 
    
    Well, if you believe Note 811.1 ("a film set in the Amazon"),
    and Note 811.14 (Sandra's Acting List), that would probably be:
    
    	5. Fire on the Amazon (1993) (V)
    
    Just a guess ...
    

    
    a perfect romantic comedy.  sandra bullock is so sweet in this film
    that male movie-goers may recall what those long ago teen-age crushes
    felt like. 8^)  four stars (out of four), and you can take mom, dad,
    or the kids to see it without worrying about anything embarrassing,
    at least nothing that i can recall.

	Since this also seems to be the unofficial Sandra Bullock topic,
	FWIW, Sandra is featured in this weeks issue of Entertainment
	Weekly (I didn't even recognize her on the cover).

    FWIW, this is playing at the Marlboro cinema with a couple of other
    flicks.  We got a chuckle as we read the "sentence" created:
    
    (1) While You Were Sleeping (2) Bad Boys (3) Rob Roy
    
    Steve

    re .22  :-D
    
    re .20  Agreed that almost the whole family would enjoy it, but I can
    think of a few people who might be uncomfortable about the results of
    Peter's earlier *accident* ("No way!"  "WAY!")   =8-O  :-)

    I think every guy in our audience sucked in their breathes for
    that part!!!

    What a terrific movie!!!  My wife and I both loved it!  I have been a
    huge Sandra Bullock fan since Love Potion #9, and I was confident she
    could be a romantic lead.  She is better than I even imagined!  Funny,
    pretty but not beautiful, vulnerable yet not naive, she makes her Lucy
    so real it's as if you've known her all your life.
    
    Bill Pullman, who was go great as "the dumbest person alive" in
    Ruthless People, manages to play off Bullock extremely well.  His
    mistakes and befuddlement are just perfect.  Jack Warden, another actor
    I've liked for a long time, is wonderful as a neighbor of the family
    and a confidant of sorts to Lucy.

    Saw it.  Liked it a lot more then I thought.  Liked SB a lot more then
    I thought.  Have always liked BP.  Go see it.

    We missed this one on the big screen, and rented it over the weekend.
    This was one of the most enjoyable movies we've seen in a
    looooooongtime!
    
    While not a Christmas movie, the time of year in which the movie is set
    is Christmastime, so it's a perfect get-in-the-Christmas romantic
    comedy. Sandra Bullock as Lucy has the sort of innocent, simple charm
    not seen since the Sandra (coincidence?) Dee "Tammy" days. 
    
    Bill Pullman is excellent as is the rest of the cast. Not exactly 
    Academy award material (more's the pity), but the sort of movie that
    leaves you with a smile on your face for a while.
    
    See it !

    I too rented this movie the other day, I loved alot!  Everyone's acting
    was super and the story kept me interested.  I cried happy tears at the
    end and cheered.
