Oh man Dersu Uzala really, really needs a restoration too. The condition that movie is currently in is absolutely shameful.

Yeah, I went ahead and grabbed Harakiri and Sword of Doom (since I actually have all the others), and I'm super jazzed. Especially since I watched the first segment of Kwaidan last night and now I'm super into Kobayashi. What a stellar, silent filmmaker.

You're in for a treat dude, harakiri is the 2nd best Japanese movie ever, probably.

To be honest I find the duel in Samurai III kind of underwhelming too, both dramatically and cinematically. It just isn't good enough for multiple movies worth of buildup. The scene with Musashi on the boat afterwards is good though.

I'm pissed because I just used an Amazon giftcard on Bone Tomahawk, Ex Machina, and The Martian. I could have probably waited on those if I knew this sale was going to happen.

One of Criterion's recent blogs confirmed McCabe & Mrs. Miller is coming. New 4K restoration from the original negative. They were hoping to get Vilmos Zsigmond to approve the transfer, though.

McCabe & Mrs. Miller is an obvious blind-buy for me because I love Westerns but for some reason I've never gotten around to seeing it.

Brief Encounter is an incredible movie. It's one of those films where everything is so perfectly done, whether it's the acting or the cinematography. I'm still interested in the entire Lean/Coward set, but this is the film I've wanted for the longest time. The Kennedy films set looks fascinating, especially after seeing clips from Primary in The Story of Film. I haven't seen Only Angels Have Wings, but I've yet to see a Howard Hawks film I didn't like. Strange that they got this so soon after the TCM Archives release, but I wonder if Sony opted to end their licensing after the fiasco with The Lady from Shanghai.

I bought the Noel Coward blu ray set just for Brief Encounter, it is a wonderful movie. I haven't watched any of the other films in the set yet. The new stand alone release is the same re-mastering as the one in the box set, right?
