I love the gangster in Underworld that laughs at the lead guy, "Look! He actually likes to read!"

Even more extraordinary: a Larry Semon performance that *doesn't* make me want to kick him in the crotch.

any Reichardt is good but that is by far my least favorite... so dated, such a product of the Bush 43 era, both characters are so pathetic...

Nice.
I just looked at the details for Hรคxan and saw the Blu and DVD will have different covers.

Betty Blue we got a clue on, but Cold War and The Daytrippers feel like two of the most leftfield announcements this entire year.
― Pauline Male (Eric H.), Thursday, 15 August 2019 18:49 (four years ago) link
Is Daytrippers particularly well-regarded? Because I never got the sense that it was (to the extent that I even recalled its existence). So if not, then...why?

Greg Mottola's first feature--surely this MUST be laying the ground for Superbad and Paul to join the collection?
I remember it vaguely as the sort of well-made Amerindie that got lost when Tarantino-wannabes took over Hollywood. But this can't be the best example of its time and place?
― Anne Hedonia (j.lu), Friday, 16 August 2019 00:45 (four years ago) link
Probably not
Never heard of it before today

all I care about is the inevitable taste of fucking cherry upgrade(and I say inevitable bc the IFC retro has a 4K restoration)

is there an Eclipse schedule? there hasn't been one since the Bergman Sweden set last summer
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 28 August 2019 16:57 (four years ago) link
C'mon, TCM...between Temple Drake and the expanded Forbidden Hollywood, surely you could do a landmark Pre-Code retrospective? Especially if Disney will license the surviving pre-1935 Fox titles....oh, yeah.
― Anne Hedonia (j.lu), Wednesday, 28 August 2019 17:02 (four years ago) link
I think Eclipse has run its course, what with the higher standards for masters and the better tools for restoration now being utilized.
― a bevy of supermodels, musicians and Lena Dunham (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 28 August 2019 19:14 (four years ago) link
Plus the Criterion Channel is probably a more economically viable outlet for lesser-known foreign language titles. But I continue to wish for a Geza von Bolvary or a Maurice Tourneur En Europe Eclipse box.
― Anne Hedonia (j.lu), Wednesday, 28 August 2019 19:29 (four years ago) link
saw Streetwise tonight, really well made and striking documentary from 1984, proto-Kids but closer in spirit and generosity to Wiseman (save for occasional voiceover, which works well). had a Janus logo so I assume there'll be a CC release soon.
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 10 September 2019 01:37 (four years ago) link
I think it's coming as a bundle w/the new-ish sequel, TINY: The Life of Erin Blackwell.

โ Anne Hedonia (j.lu)
It got excellent reviews at the time and I remember Woody Allen, Scorsese, a few others in those early internet days praising Mottola.

probably gonna get the BBS set despite some movies I don't care about (5EP & Easy Rider). afaik it's the only way to get The Last Picture Show on blu ray
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 15 October 2019 19:50 (four years ago) link
I love that set, except those two are my favorites on there so ymmv. Easy Rider in particular looks stunning on blu ray.

I keep waiting in vain for them to spin Head off into a single release.
― Pauline Male (Eric H.), Tuesday, 15 October 2019 20:09 (four years ago) link
I like both of em but don't care to watch 5EP again anytime soon. Easy Rider, maybe in a few years (I rented the standalone CC br and it does look great)
yeah Head is the one I'm curious about. also Drive, He Said
