   Doug Elrod to All   
   Best Use of "Scanty" in a Screenplay?   
   02 Dec 16 12:11:24   
   
   From: dre1@alum.mit.edu   
      
   While watching "Space Mutiny" in the recent Turkey Day lineup, I noticed that,   
   like all the other times I've seen "Space Mutiny", one of the characters said   
   the word "scanty".   
      
   I'm not sure, but I'm guessing that this *tends* to indicate a movie of the   
   not-so-good type.  Has anyone found any movies that might be considered   
   *good*, even with the use of said word?   
      
   (In this case, the main effect of it was to make me want to mount an   
   INTERVENTION, but I guess unless a time machine becomes available, that's not   
   too feasible :-)).
