characters, and each was entire
ly different and fun." she said.
"It's a drug in the veins."
Pocket Playhouse is "a great,
inexpensive way to get culture."
Soter said "Theater is a great way
to learn about people and soci
ety."
And for actors and directors,
the productions are a way to get
stage time, experiment with char
acter and costume, haul props
and hang out with the curst at the
International House of Pancakes.
"The IHOP tradition has reached
mythical proportions." Bates
said.
Pocket Playhouse considers
anyone who attends or takes part
in the production of a play to be
part the the organization. Audi
tion notices are posted regular

ads announce the shows.
“People should come to the
productions." Bates said. "It's
raw theater."

farced whore Demi doesn't do Bedford because she
wants to, or for the money — Demi does the mil
lion dollar deed for Woody.
Moore i aters sex to his whims, not her wishes.
She's a fool Whore — like maid, like minister, like
doctor or dogcatcher. like pianist, pinup, priest or
president — is o perfectly valid lifestyle choice
for any male or female But it should not lie a forced
choice, as in Moore’s case.
And speaking of prostitution. Lynne sells out
many tried and tired directorial tric ks front his own
filmography, apparently having few original ideas
for this flick
Loud reviewers Tracey Berry and Lloyd Baseman
have gone mildly ga-ga over Indtuunt Proposal, cit
ing Lynne's quic k unci arty visual style But neither
journalist caught, what are, to me, obvious shots
ripped off Irom Lynne's previous pictures Here are
a few of Proposal's sc enes and their earlier equiv
alents:
Harm Ison. contemplating Moore's late, sits flick
ing the blinds off and on. making the room go
light/dark.
Glen Close, contemplating Mic hael Douglas' fate,
sits flic king a light off and on. making the room
go light/dark.
As means of introduction, Rodford buys Moore
a $5000 dress.
As means of introduction. Mickey Rourke buys
Kim Basinger a $300 scarf
As a prelude to winning back Moore, Harrelson
studies art slides in a dark basement.
As a prelude to masturbation. Basinger studies
art slides in u dark basement.
Mad with jealousy. Harrelson gets lost in a casi
no's sea of TV monitors
Mad with jealousy. Basinger gets lost in a porno
house under a huge. X-rated TV monitor.
Odd tbal Eugene's two most respected and influ

Bad movies can be ignored. Recommendations
for tied movies will not lie ignored Baseman and
Berry ore this < ity's married, movie-reviewing
answer to Siskel and Ebert, but — unlike spicy
Siskol and Pulitzer-winning Ebert — Baseman and
Berry flood local media with monotone mediocrity.
And even standards of mediocrity must lie upheld.
Blindly missing Indecrnt Proposafi cloned visu

should pull a Maury Povick/Connie Chung: Get out
