Summer Heights High should be watched by all.

I've always wanted to see the adaptation of Ironweed. Love the book, bleak as it is.

I looked up that movie On the Other Hand, Death on IMDb.

Its two plot keywords were: Gay detective, gay thriller.

I honestly thought it was a street fighting type movie like Never Back Down.

I'll still check out What Just Happened

Man, I really have nothing to say here but to reiterate that Samurai 7 was shit.

I received French Connection 1 & 2 for review, watching it now.

These subtitles are really crisp. Heh.

I wonder how Akira on Blu-ray looks. Probably not letterboxed?

I imagine it retains the original 1.85:1 aspect ratio. Why would you assume otherwise?

I thought I had the special edition DVD and could have sworn it didn't have Anamorphic Widescreen. But i just grabbed it and it does.

At any rate, nobody is going to release letterboxed Blu-ray. Who the hell has a Blu-ray player and no HDTV?

Well, I suppose PS3 owners, but still... It's silly for an HD product to accommodate non-adopters.

True. What about DVDs that don't have letterbox at all? I have Seasons 1 -3 of the X-files and those aren't Letterboxed. I'd imagine those will come to Blu-ray eventually.

Well, X-Files was originally shown in 4:3, or 1.33:1. Are you asking will they have bars on the side? I don't know. Were the episodes filmed and then cropped, or were they filmed in 35mm and a 1.33:1 aspect ratio?

I'm not sure of the answer. I imagine if they were 1.33:1, they'll probably crop the image vertically to make it fit, like I think they did with Seinfeld.

Four Flies on Grey Velvet! A must for Argento fans. It's one of his most eclectic giallos, easily the funniest (on purpose), and the most stylistically experimental of his Animal Trilogy. The Morricone score fucking rocks too.

Hrm. Thanks for the heads-up!

I'm most interested in Zulu. I thought that film was remarkably tense and exciting.

Akira and Samurai 7 bluray?! SWEET!

indeed. my second favorite among the trilogy -- bird > fly > cat -- although they are pretty close in quality and all very high.

I'll also have to check out 'What Just Happened?'I'll admit I want to check this out, too, but didn't want to dilute my hatred for Samurai 7.

am i going to be the first to admit i'll get pirate 2?

the cast and crew actually came to promote this movie at my univ. there's a screening afterward. let's say, i'm not yet comfortable watching porn with a buncha familiar friends in public space.

That's the R-rated version. Why would you get that?

The porn one's been out for months.

I'm sure this price is totally necessary. (http://www.amazon.ca/Dario-Argentos-Four-Flies-Velve/dp/B001LIK8DO/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1235606340&sr=1-5)

Digital Playground puts out R-rated versions? What's the point?
