: Dear Folks,

: I have to admit, I have been a die hard Uncas fan.  My favorite story line has always been Uncas/Alice. I have been wishing forever, that Mr. Mann would have written his love scene back into the film, because it leaves one begging for more.  I own every movie that Mr. Schweig has made and have been known to, along with my daughter, go on a three day Schweigger binge (lots of fun)!  He was just recently on Hollywood Off Ramp and I have taped it, but not seen it yet.  I think it is a very small part. His hair is short, and he is wearing a black suit (very contemporary).  It may be on again tonight or tomorrow evening.  It is on the E channel.

: Anyway, I just thought I would throw in my "two cents"!

: Have a great evening,

: Ayesha 

: Now: : 
: : : Glad to get your feedback, Marcia. I see we agree on most of them, especially Hawkeye! I haven't yet seen "Stars and Bars" or the New Jersey movie yet, so I'll be interested in those if I can find them. 

: : >>I have copies of them made for me after the first Gathering (Chris...wasn't it you who obliged me with those?  I'm OOOOLD.  I forget these things once in awhile, but I think it was!)  At any rate, they are not to everyone's taste, being WAY bizarre, but I loved them both.  Mayhap we can find a kind soul to make copies for you, Red!

: : >"My Beautiful Laundrette" -- same as you, a little on the punk side for me, and "Room..." I saw it so long ago I barely remember his character but yep, too much of a priss for me. 

: : >>True, but he was delightfully funny, simpering about!  I LOVED the scene with him outside on the patio, dancing around wildly trying to avoid a bee.  And the one where he tries to "protect" the ladies from the sight of all the guys skinny-dipping.  What fun!

: : :I think next to Gerry and Hawkeye, Newland is definitely my fave. 

: : >>I rank him right after Hawkeye.

: : :I know several people who thought his character a pure wanker for not following his love,

: : >>my own husband being one!  He was utterly disgusted with everyone in that movie & now refuses to watch anything from that era.  If the word "Victorian" shows up in any description or review, I know I have to see it with someone else.

: : : but they don't recognize the pressures all those people were under back then. 

: : >>That's exactly it.

: : :Truly a lesson in taking the opportunity when it arises, learning to follow your bliss, etc.

: : 
: : >>Yep.

: : : I agree with the carriage scene but also that scene where they're together at her house and she holds his head in her lap for so long. That was absolutely tragic.

: : >>Ooooh, yes...I LOVED that scene.  Remember him kissing her ankle?  Be still my heart!!
: :  
: : : But still in the end, I'd take Hawkeye. Never seen anything more perfect...

: : >>He's the ultimate for me, though we DDL fans are definitely in the minority on this board.  Uncas has always captured more attention, though I never really noticed him until the 3rd or 4th time I watched the movie.  I couldn't take my eyes off of Hawkeye long enough to even LOOK at the other characters!

: : :and definitely fulfills my one lingering sadness about most of the Carolina boys I encounter...NO HAIR. I miss the early '90s when grunge was in and all these lovely men were growing their hair. Now the prison camp/ultra-Marine short look seems to be the only option, and that just doesn't look good on most folks...oh well...:-) 

: : >>I prefer long hair on men, too, but not if it's grungy.  I like it shining clean...preferably attached to a long, lean loin-cloth attired fellow seen racing slow-motion through the tall grass.  A picture I could happily watch all day long.  Yes, the hair has POWER, big-time!

: : Well, it sure is nice to meet a new Hawkeye fan!  Doc M, Gayle & I have pretty much held down the fort, with a bit of help now and again from Chris (who's torn between the two, I think).  But WE know the way of it, eh, ladies?
