Portlandia summarized the addictive beauty of BSG pperfectly.

Crime and Punishment? Thief of Baghdad? The Big Steal?

Soldier of Orange was a good film. After that, a terribly mixed bag. Back to the topic at hand, LOA was beyond spectacular in 4k. Even on a 65" oled.

I've put off watching Becket for no good reason. It pairs well with that Christmas favorite, The Lion in Winter. What family doesn't have its ups and downs? For an accurate historical account of Henry II, Eleanor of Aquitaine and the Four Kings, by Amy Kelly (1950) is worth reading.

In time, this thread, like all others, will sleep with the fishes.

A civil lawsuit would be foolish and unproductive. However, a criminal prosecution does not require that the victim make a formal complaint. While Smith, if convicted, would likely receive diversion and counseling, rather than jail time, a prosecution for such a public offense would send...

I've been waiting for LoA as a single 4K release. In this era of declining optical media I didn't expect Sony to replicate its outstanding 50th anniversary treatment. However, this steel box is both unnecessary (how many fans want a metal case ?) and beyond ugly. My best recourse may be...

Bill Hunt, over at the Digital Bits, linked to a German site announcing that Sony was releasing several individual movies from the boxset. LoA was not included in the new release news. Perhaps Sony will wait for the 60th Anniversary in 2022? As optical media makes up less and less of the...
