D'Odore.
And Bubba finds her lead in Room 103.
Oh!
What, what, what, what?
Don't look.
Let me look.
Don't.
Let me look.
Don't.
Let me look.
First and Ten.
Do it again.

In Los Angeles, Billy Crystal welcomes celebrities and friends including Rob Reiner, Martin Short
and JoBeth Williams to a preview of his latest comedy special, Billy Crystal, Midnight Train
to Moscow.
The HBO special features Crystal performing on stage and in skits taped around the Soviet
capital.
I wanted them to know that I really wanted to be there and that I wasn't going to be
all cookies and cream.
I was going to take some shots at them and they were ready for them.
It's the first time Americans are doing comedy for Russians and I think it's great.
Then it was a quick trip cross country to New York's Russian Tea Room where Crystal
previewed the special for his East Coast comrades.
Oh, it was wonderful.
Really great.
I laughed very hard.
I loved it.
Billy Crystal, Midnight Train to Moscow, pulls into HBO October 21st.
In boxing, there's no stopping heavyweight champion Mike Tyson or the amount of publicity
surrounding him.
A hard-hitting book on boxing and the champ by New York Times sports writer Phil Berger
analyzes the reasons for Tyson's success.
That quickness of his feet enables him to avoid punishment.
We haven't seen him really bleed yet.
We haven't seen him get a cut on his face.
He's avoided punishment and doesn't have the scars that his violence board usually confers
on a guy.
Blood season Tyson in the world of boxing is available in bookstores.
In the meantime, Tyson's preparing for his 37th career match.
He'll fight Canadian heavyweight champion Donovan Razor-Ruddick November 18th in Edmonton,
Canada.
Will the razor be sharp enough or will Tyson turn him into a dull blade?
The fight airs live on HBO.
At the box office, John Travolta and Kirsty Alley fight a love match of their own in Look
Who's Talking.
The film takes place from the point of view of Alley's newborn baby, whose voice is provided
by Bruce Willis.
The point of view of the baby I had never seen and I thought, man, this is either really
horrible or really great.
The script was so funny that I thought it was worth the shot.
Woody Allen takes another shot at the box office this week with Crimes and Misdemeanors.
The film stars Alan, Mia Farrow, Angelica Houston and Martin Landau, who says Alan complimented
him on his portrayal.
He said, maybe it's because we come from the same neighborhood, which we do.
I said, well, I don't talk like this, Woody.
And he says, neither do I.
I said, well, there goes that theory.
I'm Dana Fleming for HBO Entertainment News.
Aidan Quinn is Sam Paxton, just a guy trying to do the right thing.
The DA wants his testimony, the mob wants his head, and life is hell.
Aidan Quinn stars in the HBO original movie in October.
Perfect witness.
If you're young and this talented, you ought to be able to take that talent and run with
it.
We're moving base camp, kids.
Cover your tracks.
That is, if you're not already on the run.
It's wonderful having a new name every six months.
You can't keep running away from something that you had nothing to do with.
You deserve your own kids.
HBO presents the multi-talented River Phoenix in the role that was nominated for an Oscar,
running on empty.
Premieres Sunday, October 29th on HBO.
The best movies.
They're taking control of people's bodies, people's minds, people's children.
How long have you spoken rough?
But Aidan...
A child's gonna be born with a cocaine habit.
You try it twice in history.
America Undercover takes you face to face with the fiercest enemy ever to wage war on
the United States of America. Crack USA. Premiers Friday, November 10th, only on HBO.
They call him Johnny Handsome. He's a small town hood who lives in the violent shadows
of New Orleans, living out his destiny until fate intervenes. Johnny Handsome was directed
by Walter Hill, best known for Red Heat and 48 Hours. It's a story, it's a character,
it's a series of characters, it's about a dilemma, and it presents what one character
did within that dilemma. Johnny Handsome stars Mickey Rourke, Ellen Barkin, Elizabeth McGovern,
Forrest Whitaker, Lance Hendrickson, and Morgan Freeman. I think the hardest thing about a
movie is casting. You simply say to yourself, this person has got something that is kind
of mysteriously right for the part and that is hopefully beyond what you were looking
for. Hill knew that to portray the provocative characters of Johnny Handsome, he would have
to bring together a distinctive ensemble cast. To create the role of Johnny, he turned to
the star of Nine and a Half Weeks and Angel Heart, Mickey Rourke. He's a fellow that's
been born with a terrible affliction and has chosen a life of crime. It's kind of hard
to talk about Mickey. I mean, I found my own relationship with him to be very positive.
He's a very hardworking actor. He has great integrity. Forrest Whitaker plays the role
of the more idealistic character of the doctor who supervises the operations on Johnny and
sees to it that he gets a new face and the chance at a new life. I'm the case officer
assigned to this boy. Any information pertaining to him is my business. Now let me ask you
again, how is he? Is he going to be alright? The Morgan Freeman character is a deeply cynical
police officer and when it comes to giving this character a new start, predicts that
he will take the twisted road. I know who you are and I know what you're on. And we
both know right where you're going, don't we Johnny? The Elizabeth McGovern character
is probably the first positive relationship he's ever had in his life. I'm not so sure
that I'm what you want. I'm a big girl, I don't need you to tell me what I want. I know
what I want. She represents one avenue of choice for him. Johnny is torn between the
promise of a happy future and old enemies, played by Ellen Barkin and Lance Hendrickson
who killed his best friend and now tempts his vengeance. I tell you something sweetheart,
looking at you gives me some bad thoughts. Well, it sounds like you know what you're
talking about. Sonny and Rafe represent the furies that taunt and torment him. I'm going
to take him out big when the time gets right. What the film is probably about more than
anything else is that character is more than skin deep and that what he was before this
series of operations governs his own future. Nobody picks a fight like HBO.
I want to knock down. I want to knock down. You got to move in a rough disguise. This
may be the most brutal even around. You've ever seen it. Spectacular right front. Leonard
is in trouble again. This makes it a world of trouble right now. On the fence by the
way. HBO, the network of champions. Hi, I'm Tim McCarver. Join me on HBO as we take a
look at those sports memories that have athletes saying, I wish I'd stayed home that day. Not
only the athletes, but fans too. I mean, what do you suppose is going through this fan's
mind when he decided to steal from some of the biggest and meanest men on earth? And
how about Marvin Hagler winning his first world championship only to be pelted by angry
fans or Eddie the eagle, the British ski jumper. Wouldn't he have beauty? Don't you think he
should have tried something more down to earth? And how about the running of the bulls in
Pamplona? I can think of a dozen things I'd rather be doing than taunting a 2000 pound
animal. Those are just some of the wacky and zany sports memories you'll see when HBO presents
the not so great moments in sports. Take three. Don't miss not so great moments in sports.
Take three. Premiers Friday on HBO. In November, HBO brings on the best time on TV with the
brightest stars, the biggest hits, HBO, the best movies. The girlfriend didn't see anything.
The bartender didn't see anything. They don't have a case. Kelly McGillis, an Academy Award
winning best actress, Jodie Foster. Are you scared? Yes. Me too. The accused, the best.
I think I'll drop my baby. Meryl Streep stars in the true story of a woman's triumph over
a mother's nightmare. I won't be squashed into some dumb act for the public. A cry in
the dark, the best. I'm special just as long as I keep making touchdowns. Dennis Quaid.
Oh, Gavin, I love you. Jessica Lang and Timothy Huffman. Everybody's All American, the best.
You heard that one, huh? Sally Field hits the big time with Tom Hanks in Punchline, the
best. Max Von Sido and Tom Scarrett in the HBO original movie for November. Red King,
White Knight. And it's nothing but the best in December with Coming to America and Alien
Nation. HBO, the best movies. 1987 saw the birth of a new kind of horror movie. Hellraiser
sprang from the disturbing imagination of one of the masters of modern horror. Now Clive
Barker is back with the eagerly awaited sequel, Hellbound, Hellraiser 2, directed this time
by Tony Randall. I think Tony's vision, Tony's grasp of the, of not just of horror filmmaking
and its various techniques, but of science fiction as well, will bring a new flavor to
bear on the lament configuration, on the cenobites, on all of that. Now all we need is skin. They
think he's a tough act to follow. He's a brilliant man. I can't make the same kind of film that
Clive would. I'm hoping that what I bring to it will show through and will be as entertaining
and interesting for an audience. Hellbound opens up spectacular new dimensions, taking
the action into the very depths of hell. That's exciting to see the doors open and open and
open again and, and see new panoramas. Oh, Kirsty, so eager to play, so reluctant to
admit it. I've come for my father. Many of the original cast of Hellraiser returned for
this new adventure, including Ashley Lawrence and Claire Higgins. I had to come back because
the Queen of Hell, you see, um, was an opportunity I just couldn't miss. Oh, there's lots of
nastiness I have to go through this time. Um, there's catwalks and abysses and labyrinths
and all sorts of things. And there are some new faces, like talented young star Imogen
Borman. I play Tiffany, um, and she's basically the, uh, puzzle silver. And without her, no
one would be able to get down to hell. And, um, she's meant to be very intelligent. What?
We're alone in all of this and we have to help each other. We have to help each other.
It's wonderful to have the same people. I think they're the best crew in the world.
And working with Ken Cranham is a joy. I mean, he's just great. He just kind of understood
the whole scene. I don't know what that says about him. In my own childhood, I was very
fascinated by such things. And the chamber of horrors to me was the perfect place to
go. And, uh, the first thing I ever built with my McCarno set was a gallows. You know,
my nephew, Ben Cranham, who's 12, thinks that this is the best career move I've ever
made. Basically, the worst thing I have to do in this film is pull, um, Julia's skin
off when I reach for the puzzle in her hand and we, our fingers interlock and I give a
big wrench and her skin kind of peels off with a disgusting ripping sound. They changed
the rules of the fairy tale. I'm no longer just the wicked stepmother. Now I'm the evil
queen. So come on. No! Take your best shot Snow White. I think Hellraiser 2 will be much,
I think worse is the wrong word. Um, better in the sense that we use kind of better, scarier,
um, more evil, more disgusting, more kind of blood and all the rest of it. Kind of Hellraiser
1 plus. I have such sights to show you. This sort of film, which is basically a special
effects film, is like any other text. If you, if you act it well, it works. And if you,
if you don't, it doesn't. I thought that Claire was particularly effective. You're sure this
is what you want? It's what I've always wanted. There's a lot of nice bits in it that you
don't find in most horror films like, um, Kirsty and Tiffany have a very nice relationship
and there's a few very sad scenes. It goes further than Hellraiser 1, that's for sure.
And, uh, it has a more bizarre, even more surreal element to it, I think. There was
certainly a good deal of blood in the first picture. Um, I think there will be a fair
amount in the second one too. You know, you can't, you can't, uh, you can't make omelets
without breaking eggs and you can't make horror movies without breaking heads. This month
on HBO. Things get just a trifle hairy for a young girl who leaves the outback to look
for work as an actress. The Marsupials, Howling 3, next on HBO. I'm a missing girl. Hi, how
are you doing? What the hell is this? My date? Harmless drive. What could possibly go wrong?
Hi. Trust me. Corey Haim, Corey Feldman, Licensed to Drive, tomorrow on HBO. What airline is
this? Don't miss the next episode of The Kids in the Hall when the discussion turns to romance.
So then she took her long bony finger, pointed it at me, told me that I had no future as
a bicycle courier. Yeah, yeah. I financed. That's right, I got you two ten dollars right
here. And life's little disappointments. The haircut's over. Haircut's never over. There's
not another hair to cut before the haircut's over. Be sure to see the next episode of The
Kids in the Hall, premieres Friday on HBO. Hi, Saturday, October 21st is my night right
here on HBO. You'll see the world premiere of Midnight Train to Moscow, my new comedy
special shot entirely in the Soviet Union. Then earlier, you'll see Memories of Me, starring
Alan King, myself and Jill Beth Williams. And following it all, we'll be Running Scared
with Gregory Hines and myself, shot in Chicago. It's my night. I'll be hosting it Saturday,
October 21st, right here on HBO. In 1932, the FBI proudly opened their academy, training
their agents to be ready for anything. Welcome to the FBI. Yes, these founding founders plan
for everything, except Agent DeWitt and Agent Zuckerman. For one, it'll take hard work and
a little more experience. You guys in a gang or something? I don't think you got a prayer.
For the other, it'll take a miracle. Come on, we're young, we're single, we're heavily
armed. To succeed, they'll need teamwork. Double action, a single action. Double or
single? Whatever. You know my taste. A lot of field work. Oh, another new experience.
And a lot of footwork. DeWitt and Zuckerman. Together, they might just graduate the toughest
course known to women. FBI freeze! Rebecca DeMornay. I hope the people of the United States
of America will be able to sleep better knowing that women like us have guns. And Mary Gross.
To law enforcement. Feds. Premieres Sunday on HBO. The best in television. Nobody brings
it home like HBO.

Yuppies, they're like roaches. Cause drugs don't affect them. Abandoned building, Avenue
E and 13th Street. There's a bunch of people in there tying off, trying to find a vein.
Yuppie walked right through the middle of it all night, even noticed what's going on,
and go, this is going to make a fabulous ice cream parlor. And the next God damn day, it
is an ice cream parlor. Premiered Saturday on HBO.
