At least that uses different stills as part of the design, the Parasite one just barely tries to place the morse code over the original poster so you can see the main characters through it.

My haul from this sale: Kiss Me Deadly One Sings, The Other Doesn’t Bamboozled His Girl Friday Dance, Girl, Dance Grand Budapest Hotel I was gonna get the Bruce Lee set but then it was unavailable so I chose these instead and then the next day the Bruce Lee set was available again so I decided to get that too.

Way of The Dragon isn’t great, but it’s nice seeing Bruce in a really comedic role and that Chuck Norris fight loving slaps. Can’t wait to rewatch Fist of Fury and dig into the extras.

Whoever described The Cremator as a dark comedy is a loving liar, it's a straight up horror and it's also brilliant

Picked up the Karel Zeman box set and I watched half of Journey to the Beginning of Time. Man, I would have been obsessed with this movie as a kid.

Foam Monkey posted:Got the Bruce Lee boxset, Tokyo Drifter, and Tokyo Olympiad. The last two are blind guys, but I figured it can’t hurt to try something new. You should have gotten Tokyo Story instead of the Lee set and told everyone you were very confused what order the trilogy was supposed to go in.

Is the Criterion Princess Bride the best transfer out there? I have the 25th Anniversary Blu Ray and was wondering if there was any advantage to upgrading.

Yes, it's a decent upgrade. https://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?go=1&a=0&d1=12542&d2=12541&s1=124708&s2=124716&i=2&l=0 e: If you're in Europe, you might consider the German BD which is virtually identical to the Criterion.

Just watched Until the End of the World. That was very, very good. I wish it had the theatrical cut so I could compare. As it was, I could have handled a few more hours, so I can’t imagine it cut down as much as it was. I’m also through the first three Bruce Lee movies. Fist of Fury >> Big Boss > Way of the Dragon.

I picked up When We Were Kings because it's my favorite doc and I'd owned the DVD for a decade. It really is I think straight up one of the best docs ever made and I've seen it a dozen times over the years. However, I hadn't seen Soul Power, the 2008 doc that's also included on the Criterion release and compiled from similar archival footage of the Zaire '74 music festival that accompanied the fight. I cannot recommend it enough, it is an incredible cross-cultural music documentary with some astoundingly hot performances. This criterion disc is one hell of a double feature. Huge recommend.

Game of Death is utter garbage. If you like old school Kung Fun like Shaw Brothers, Game of Death 2 is worth checking out.

Fist of Fury was worth the price of the whole set imo(at 50% off at least). Edit: this always said Fist of Fury, trust me

It's a shame - the footage Lee completed would have been one of his best films ever. And the fact that you basically have to remove all charisma from the star means you end up with this huge vacuum. Lee had a great presence on screen. That ambivalent attitude he displayed was perfect, like he was saying "I see, I guess I'm just going to have to kick your rear end." I love the interview with Robert Wall on the disc, where he just curses out the director at every opportunity.
