    so folks are caving, eh? I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of geeks suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

    We need more Herzog films on DVD!

    WTGAD is probably the weakest film in his collection. Herzog also dismisses it in his outstanding "Herzog on Herzog" book. I don't think it's that bad; it has it's moments, but its the last film of his I'd sit down to watch again.

    DVD Review HTF Review: Apocalypse Now: The Complete Dossier

    Copolla's commentary is awesome. He covers so many different areas of the making of the film and it was good to hear his logic for putting certain scenes back in. Having said that, I still dislike Redux. It loses the plot and momentum of the original. The French plantation sequence feels...

    We need more Herzog films on DVD!

    not only is Signs of Life now availble, it's got a great commentary track. And "Nobody Wants to Play with Me" is the best short I've ever seen in my life, period. It cost me an arm and leg to hunt it down, but it was worth it. Every person I've watched it with has been floored by it. Come...

    How to best serve up Alfred Hitchcock

    I gotta agree. I'm not crazy about "Basil Exposition" at the end of Psycho either. You hit the nail on the head though, in the case of Psycho, Stephano was in analysis at the time so the explanations were novel... to him. ...And I understood Marinie as well; depsite what revisionist say...

    How to best serve up Alfred Hitchcock

    Cool, two very different Hitch films and you'll get to see the range of the master. I'd go on to watch Strangers on a train Shadow of a doubt To Catch a Thief Rebecca Notrious Rope Although you have them, I'd put off Marnie, Topaz, and Family Plot until you've seen all the other...
