   	Easily dream, sure.  I know people are (inexplicably) upset at   
   the 'Hamlet' MiSTing, but I'd never heard any serious disputing of the   
   choice of 'The Girl In Golden Boots' before.   
      
   	I haven't seen 'Quiet Cool' --- I'm not even sure I've got the   
   Sundance channel, although on one of those channels I did recently see   
   a documentary about the Bauhaus school --- so I don't know how to   
   compare them.  Mostly I'm just hoping to make it through the '31 Days   
   Of Oscar' absence of TCM Underground intact.
