Sounds interesting. I wish Criterion would release more by Andrei Tarkovsky. The other two titles currently in the catalog are in my opinion not as interesting as his other films. I'd love to see a Stalker or Nostalghia on Blu-ray. Especially Stalker since it's cinematography is unmatched.

I send Criterion an email regarding this about a year ago, and they replied that they wouldn't release more Tarkovsky films for the near future.

This means they'll be releasing the entire Apu trilogy?

Something that would make it even better is when they have that fifty percent off sale.

Recommendations on one of Naked, Crumb, or Diabolique?

Naked.

Johnny: You from Scotland?
Archie: EH?
Johnny: Are you Scots?
Archie: Aye.
Johnny: What's it like up there?
Archie: Fuckin' shite.
Johnny: D'you dream in Scotch?
Archie: Eh?
Johnny: Like dream about sporran-clad, caber-tossing haggis galloping over porridge-covered glens?
Archie: FUCKIN' shite!

It seemed to inform the hell out of the Indiana Jones (which the whole last five minutes clearly influenced).

Never made that connection but it's pretty obvious now you mention it.

I don't know the returning policy of B&N, but whenever I order media with Amazon and it arrives hosed up, I just send it back. I had this a couple of times now and they would always send me a replacement right away. I suppose B&N would work the same way?

Jeeeez. I'm not sure how I feel about the ridiculous amounts of misogyny and sadism (even for a noir), but Kiss Me Deadly was definitely the craziest noir I've ever seen. The twist came totally out of left field...so bizarre and awesome.

Fantastic noir indeed. And all the influence it had on later movies, like: Raiders of the Lost Ark, Pulp Fiction, The Usual Suspects or Lost Highway ...

That looks pretty good. I think I'll pre-order this. Great artwork as well. Pre-ordering is not eligible for 50 off sale?

Thanks for pointing that out. Combined with Paths of Glory via Amazon seems to be a good deal.

The soundtrack by Zbigniew Preisner is hauntingly beautiful. The film is just a bonus.


No, not really. The film is great as well.
