*The longest day of the year* News-June 21, 1998
I went to go see Mulan ( my family loves Disney ) and while I was checking
out the credits I saw a Romeo and Juliet alumni.....Mariam Margoyles ( Nurse
) did a voice for one of the characters. Unfortunately I didn't catch which
one, but for anyone who goes and sees the movie she if you can see who she
gave her talents to.
P.S. I'm watching SNL right now and since Julianne Moore is hosting (she was
nominated for Best Supporting Actress along with Gloria Stuart at the Oscars )
They are doing a little skit where Gloria ( Cheri Oteri on SNL ) says that
Julianne should win and not a lady that has lived through the Depression and 2
World Wars. Then she acts out her "favorite scene from the movie" ( when Jack
dies :( ) Pretty funny.

Well I just wanted to tell you that I found a R & J t- shirt. I found
it here in Bryan/College Station Texas at a store called Spencer Gifts.
It is the scene where Romeo is screaming, "Juliet!!!!" after he thinks
that she is dead.
The phone # is 696-8799 if you would liketo
contact them!=]

Very nice website! Thanks for putting it together.
I wish that you had more about John McEnery (Mercutio) though, and think
that he is more deserving of a photo than Michael York (Tybalt), then
there's the friar...

I was reading in my British version of Empire that " the restored,
remastered" soundtrack of Romeo & Juliet 1968 is being released in Britain. I
just thought I would let you know. Also I'm so glad you still keep up your
site, it's good to know I'm not the only R & J obsessive fan left. It's still
my fav film. Well keep up the great work!!.

I don't know if anyone has told you this or not, but in the commercials for
the X-Files Movie, they use the music from Romeo & Juliet! I know "O Verona"
is used in one commercial & I can't remember what the other song is. I thought
it was kinda cool that two of my favorite things are together! :-)
Here's another X-Files/Leo connection. A lot of the X-Files movie was shot on
the same soundstage where Titanic was filmed, and Leo & James Cameron came to
the set one day to wish them luck!
---Brenna
In a new movie coming out they use the music from R+J- the O VErona from the
beginning of the movie where they are showing the characters- i'm not sure
what movie it is- i wasnt really watching but I heard- they shouldn't steal
R+J's music- besides- it doesn't make sense.. come on- O Verona it fits R+J
and no other movie!!

I was looking through a collector's magazine today and I happened upon Barbie

pricy, but they were sooo beautiful!

I have official Romeo+Juliet buttons for sale or trade. These were probably
used to promote the movie back in 1996. There are 2 different kinds, one shows
the heart logo and one shows Leo/Claire in the death scene (their faces)!

I'll be going to Toronto and possibly New York in July and I'm
wondering where in those two places I can find R+J/Titanic stuff. I'm
especially interested in postcards, 8X10 photos, lobby cards,
stickers, buttons. I'd also prefer some place that's not too hard to
find, preferably in the downtown area. If you know anything at all,
please contact me. ---wondernova@yahoo.com

I went to verona not too long ago. It was so cool. Inside the house there was a statue of Juliet (Guilette in Italian). What was so
wierd about that was that people put their hands on her chest when they got their picture taken with the statue. The walls of the
house were covered in ivy on one side and people's writing on the other. For good luck people also took markers and wrote a heart
with their name and their significant other on there (hmmm..Fabio seemed to be a really popular name...) Well, I don't really have
anything else to say, I'm mainly just babbling to someone I don't know now.

Is there any way that this bloody CD rom that you get with the
soundtrack will work? I swapped CDs with the guy at the cd shop and
STILL it didnt work - the file RJ2.DXR was the file it got stuck on
during installation. Is this some big conspiracy on ECDs part to accost
people into buying a full CD version? It's driving me crazy.
Nice page you have here, you've done a great job!

I heard that Fox wasn't manufacturing the Romeo and Juliet cd-rom anymore. Is
that true?
