[dreamdead]

Will rent:

Romance and Cigarettes (Winslet!!! :pritch:)
Gone Baby Gone

And with the Greenaway re-releases--might this mean The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover will be getting re-released soon?

[ledfloyd]

renting:
Lubitsch Musicals
Gone Baby Gone
Romance & Cigarettes

that stephen chow looks interesting. what's the deal with that double life of veronique release?

[Sven]

That Touch DVD cover is hilariously awful.

[baby doll]

So many wonderful movies! I'd like to buy the Greenaway films, and I'll probably rent Gone Baby Gone rather than buy it. And I can't wait to see the Lubitsch musicals, Romance and Cigarettes and We Own the Night.

[baby doll]

And with the Greenaway re-releases--might this mean The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover will be getting re-released soon?I'm pretty sure the current DVD is 16x9 compatible.

[Benny Profane]

That Touch DVD cover is hilariously awful.

Seriously.

Is Christopher Walken in some sort of "who can appear in the most bad movies in a decade" contest?

I am renting Gone Baby Gone to see what all the Affleck fuss is about.

[Sycophant]

Oh, my GOD. They're releasing the Royal Tramp films? They're insane and not really his best, but if your exposure to Stephen Chow's work is limited to what's been previously available in America (just his last couple out of dozens of films), see this.

Meanwhile, I'd like to buy Gone Baby Gone, that Lubitsch set, and George of the Jungle. But I'm trying not to spend so much.

I think I'll rent We Own the Night and Why Did I Get Married?

[eternity]

BUY:
None

RENT:
Romance and Cigarettes
Gone Baby Gone
Dedication

WTF of the Week:
Meet Market (I actually mean WTF in a maybe good way, because it has a good cast and looks really, really fucked up.)

[megladon8]

Gone Baby Gone is a definite must-buy for me.

Other than that, nothing this week.

[Weeping_Guitar]

Renting:
Gone Baby Gone
Lubitsch Musicals
Romance & Cigarettes

[Kurosawa Fan]

Netflix shows In the Shadow of the Moon coming out this Tuesday as well, but Amazon says March 15th. Is this an early release for Netflix, or did they not update when the release date was pushed back? I guess I'll put Gone Baby Gone at the #2 spot on my queue just in case.

Those, the Lubitsch musicals, and the Greenaway films are all I'm interested in this week.

[DSNT]

Netflix shows In the Shadow of the Moon coming out this Tuesday as well, but Amazon says March 15th. Is this an early release for Netflix, or did they not update when the release date was pushed back?
I was wondering about that too. It had been on this week's list from Amazon a couple weeks ago, but not now. It was also listed in the weekly Best Buy booklet. I'm hoping it wasn't a last minute delay that didn't get updated with all retailers. I have it on my queue just in case.

Florinda Bolkan? Zeitgeist Video? Whoever named that person and that company need to be slapped.

[Sycophant]

Reminder:

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51G0hnmjyUL._SS500_.jpg

There's more dick jokes in these movies than you'd dare shake a stick at.

[Stay Puft]

A friend of mine has the Royal Tramp set pre-ordered. (He has the entire Dragon Dynasty collection to date.) I look forward to checking that out.

[origami_mustache]

renting Gone Baby Gone soon...still need to see The Double Life of Veronique and get started on Peter Greenaway's oeuvre

[chrisnu]

Will check out Gone Baby Gone, and am interested in the new transfers for the Greenaway films. Here's a comparison for the releases of The Draughtsman's Contract, including the new one:

One of the screenshots is a little NSFW :)

[lovejuice]

the wiz! :eek::lol:

[Dukefrukem]

when does Blu-ray make it into the list? :)

[Kurosawa Fan]

According to my queue, In the Shadow of the Moon is shipping today. Guess that answers that. Awesome.
