You are missing the most Fatale of all Femmes in the history of film, the one, the only Lily Carver of KISS ME DEADLY. Remember Lily does not do something simple like seduce a man and get him steal or murder for her, that is for wimps. I won't spoil the end but let's just say it is the end.
FYI my home email is [email protected], I have bought the lilycarver.com for an eventual blog and if any of you want to "friend:" me on facebook you will now know what that picture is.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
