Re: This Week's Aisle Seat - Kino Lorber March Wrap, GHOSTBUSTERS New & Revisited
Re: "The Lincoln Conspiracy" Andy, and your comment, "I’m certainly not versed enough in the history to state whether or not its claims have any merit at all!" I can assure you they don't. In fact they were discredited back in the late 70s and early 80s when a team of professiona...

Re: rate the last movie you saw
Interestingly, Jay Robinson became a born-again Christian in the 70s after his life had bottomed out with drug use and a brief jail sentence. His autobio that came out at the time goes into that in detail (though I can't vouch for whether he stuck to it the remaining decades of his life). Part of th...

Re: rate the last movie you saw
Ironically, Bernstein never did get an Oscar for one of his great scores. His only one came from scoring adaptations and arrangements for "Thoroughly Modern Millie." I'll agree that it's unfortunate "Passion" doesn't have the kind of memorable score that the epics of an earlier e...

Re: rate the last movie you saw
Well, I'm working my way into Holy Week viewings once again (it's hard to prepare when its happening so early this year!). I have already taken care of the only OT movies I intend to watch this year. The Bible (1966) The Ten Commandments (1923) The Ten Commandments (1956) "The Bible" just ...

Re: rate the last movie you saw
I saw it in the theater last Thanksgiving night (my first post-COVID theater experience) and I was struck by how this movie's obsession over showing Josephine's inability to have an heir meant that the film never explains just WHY is Napoleon invading other countries? What's his reason? What was his...

Re: Commentary Tracks - The Good, The Bad & The Unlistenable
And another commentary track gets the shutoff from me due to a political intrusion and this time sadly it came from someone whose work I've liked in previous efforts. Tim Lucas did a truly great commentary on "One Million Years B.C" that treated the film respectfully and without snark that...

Re: SUPERGIRL (1984) Improved German Blu-Ray
Glad you found it interesting, Chris! Part of the problem with the Bianca character is that in the earlier drafts when they were writing Selena with Parton in mind as the good girl made bad, Bianca was a major domo figure type from the coven helping her get comfortable in her powers etc. and not a c...

Re: SUPERGIRL (1984) Improved German Blu-Ray
I'll be interested in your take. I have always been fascinated by this film's production history and how it ultimately came off as a near-miss done in chiefly by Reeve's falling out with the Salkinds which made him back out of a planned cameo that IMO was absolutely needed to get this film linked to...

Re: Another good "Hang on to you physical media" article
I have NEVER taken part in streaming. I have always been adamant about owning a copy and having a physical version whether on disc or as a downloaded file that is permanently saved on my computer (mp3, mp4, iso etc.) To me there is no substitute for that.

Re: Tim Burton Remaking ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN
For all the hype the original has gotten as a cult film over the decades, it is really a BORING movie. You get sixty minutes of tedium and the ballyhooed F/X stuff only take up the last ten minutes or less basically.

Re: rate the last movie you saw
I have to revisit "Topaz" soon, but I tended to think it was okay even as I acknowledge that post-"The Birds" Hitchcock really declined in his output. But I can enjoy "Torn Curtain," "Topaz" and "Family Plot" pretty much. "Frenzy" though is...

Re: KING KONG (1976) on 4K UHD
Not just a horrible font but you'll notice they've flipped the original image and cropped it to avoid showing the World Trade Center.
