I received the latest Entertainment Weekly issue, April 21, 2000 #536, in today's mail. It has Natalie on the cover, but no mention of grits. On page 34, there is an article about Phantom Secrets Revealed. Towards the beginning, there is this line:
Yes, any fan with a VCR (or DVD player) can now search for what Coleman calls the movie's "Easter eggs,"...
So according to EW, it is already out on DVD and fans can pause the DVD version to find the Easter eggs. Do they know something we don't?
I remember this movie too. The teacher keeps building the group and tells the members one day that their leader will address them. He gets everybody in the auditorium and pulls back the curtain to a full screen of Hitler giving one of his speeches. A very compelling movie.
That has happened. Here is the comic: http://www.userfriendly.org/cartoons/archives/99ju l/19990714.html. This is Illiad's comment about the comic:
A WISH FOR THINGS THAT WORK 00:01 PDT 15 JUL 1999 I got quite a bit of mail from people who really enjoyed the salute to Bloom County in yesterday's strip, and I thank everyone for their words of praise. It should be obvious by now that Berke Breathed's Bloom County has been by far the greatest influence on my cartooning. I only felt it was fitting to offer a tip of the hat to my two favourite characters in that venerable strip, Opus and Oliver. And to answer a few of the letters, no, I probably won't bring the Bloom County characters back, aside from the legal issues, I just don't think it'd be right if I laid it on that thick.:)

Here it is at IMDb.
I had not noticed.
Thank you for pointing it out.
It brightened my day.

A WISH FOR THINGS THAT WORK
00:01 PDT 15 JUL 1999
I got quite a bit of mail from people who really enjoyed the salute to
Bloom County in yesterday's strip, and I thank everyone for their words
of praise. It should be obvious by now that Berke Breathed's Bloom
County has been by far the greatest influence on my cartooning. I only
felt it was fitting to offer a tip of the hat to my two favourite characters
in that venerable strip, Opus and Oliver. And to answer a few of the
letters, no, I probably won't bring the Bloom County characters back,
aside from the legal issues, I just don't think it'd be right if I laid it on
that thick.
