Smart money seems to ride on dumb ideas &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Speaking of dumb -- we weren't, but it's a great way to start a new year of
this column -- the success of ``Forrest Gump'' (a surprise) and ``Dumb and &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Dumber'' (unwarranted) has Hollywood thinking stupid is as stupid
doesAccording to the Hollywood Reporter, the following movies are in
development or preparation: "Clueless," "Dummies," "The Magnificent Dope,"
"The Magnificent Idiot" and "The Stupids." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 KIRBY CENTER CINEMA: For better or worse, movie lovers are wed to the
performing arts center on Public Square in Wilkes Barre if they hope to see
many foreign, art or esoteric movies. The schedule for Wednesdays in the
February and March holds promise: "Bullets Over Broadway" on Feb. 1, "What
Happened Was..." on Feb. 8, "Clerks" on Feb. 15, "Heavenly Creatures" on Feb.
22, "Tom and Viv" on March 1 and "To Live" on March 15. Of those films, the
only one to play area cinemas was the Woody Allen comedy, "Bullets Over
Broadway," a return to good form for Allen and one of the better films from
1994. (We'll offer a best and worst list -- admittedly late -- next Friday.) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 QUICKLY: On Sunday, Jan. 8 at 3 p.m., WVIA, channel 44 will present the
tele-film "Appointment in Samarra" for the first time since it was broadcast
in 1953. The show is part of the PBS station's tribute to John O'Hara...In an
interview in Movieline magazine, Susan Sarandon, comments on the movie acting
ability of her significant other, Tim Robbins. "Nobody plays ***holes better
than Tim."... &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 SOUND BITES: Memorable dialogue from recent movies: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 "Oh Jo, please don't say `awful.' It's slang," Meg March (Trini Alvarado)
to her younger sister in "Little Women." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 "It's time to show her the big bad world and see how she deals with it,"
one doctor to another of feral backwoods woman (Jodie Foster) in the drama
"Nell." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 "Why does everyone want to go away. I love being home. But I don't like
being left behind. Now I'm the one going ahead," sickly Beth March (Claire
Danes) in "Little Women." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
