They're doing TCM showings of Strangelove and The Shining later this year and I seriously can't wait to see them on the big screen for the first time. Like, I thought seeing The Maltese Falcon in the theater was amazing but a Kubrick movie is on a whole other level for me.

It was a scratched up grainy original print of the US version and it was magical.

Blind bought Brazil and The Game from B&N. Got 60% off total using my sister in law's B&N card, so I'm happy. Watched The Game last night - it's Fincher alright. I enjoyed it, visually of course it was gorgeous. Fincher is so great at making visually dense sets feel so sterile. I've never seen Michael Douglas act before, so he was absolutely awesome. His voice alone carried his role - I also loved how Criterion included the "Psychological Test Film" extra, little tidbits like that make buying Criterion almost too easy to justify. Excited to watch Brazil - I LOVE its look. and I don't know much if anything about it's plot other than it's Gilliam and it's most likely a black comedy of sorts.

If you already know you love the look, that alone will entertain you from start to finish. Every single scene is just amazing to look at. Sometimes its the set design, sometimes its the costumes, sometimes its a matte painting, but there's always something ridiculous in the frame.

I spent the first 40 minutes of Tokyo Drifter being annoyed that I had no idea wtf was going on. I stopped to check if my Branded To Kill was still unopened and returnable. Then I realized that not knowing wtf is going on is half the point of Tokyo Drifter and I stopped caring, commenced loving the remainder of the film

Disregard the initial critical lashing - it's a very solid western that excels in world-building and sense of scope. It's got some beautiful and captivating set-pieces too, particularly the infamous waltz and roller skating scenes.

Any rumblings of a bluray upgrade of Ozu's Early Summer? I'm debating to get the DVD in this sale, or wait for an upgrade.

Are there any animation blu rays I'm missing? I have Fantastic Mr. Fox, Fantastic Planet, and Watership Down. Always meaning to get the Akira laserdisc. I really wish they'd do more animation.

How does something like animation translate to blu ray quality vs DVD? I know Mr. Fox is actually photographed so that's different, but what about the others?

It's a blind buy for me too! The premise, a couple of reviews and high praise on blu-ray.com led me to it. I'll put it on top of the watchlist.

Animation with a proper transfer looks incredible on a Blu-ray. Very crisp with solid colors, each individual frame looks like a painting.

One of the things that I'm now interested in seeing some day is a Yuriy Norshteyn collection, but like all things Soviet film, it's probably never happening due to licensing issues.
