Rest in peace to a giant. 🙏🏽

Great review. Thanks.

Thanks for the heads up Mr. Harris. Jacob, I'm like you- I've always had problems with the first disc (Alien) of the 9-disc dvd quadrilogy set never playing correctly. That's a major reason why I can't wait to get my hands on the blu-ray- to be able to watch the first film in one piece...

I feel sorry for Taylor as well. Reminds me of Rod Strickland in the NBA- a nasty player who somehow never made an All-Star/ Pro-Bowl team. Crazy. And I am very happy for Sean Taylor's family. His election posthumously was well deserved. God bless his soul.

Saw it this afternoon in NYC at the Ziegfeld Theatre. John is pretty much spot on with his review. This is the Blade Runner we've pretty much known and loved over the years. I will say though that Charles de Lauzirika and his team did an exceptional job on the restoration. It will be a new...

Thanks for the review!

God bless his soul and may he rest in peace.

I love AICN! I really do. But with respects to Grindhouse I loved every last second of it. The two features, the fake trailers, everything. Loved it all! Can't wait to see it again! It really rocks if you see it with a great movie crowd.

As a Knicks fan I can't wait for us to discharge Isiah. He has failed miserably. And his actions related to Saturday's brawl were out of line. BUT, George Karl is just as culpable. I like George Karl. But Denver was up 19 with 1:15 left. I don't want to hear him "swearing on his children"...

You better hope Melo isn't on your fantasy team :laugh: Seriously though... this is sad. I feel bad for everyone involved. I'm a Knicks fan so this is a new low for us... even for this pathetic season. I know people close to me who are friends with JR Smith so this is unfortunate for him...

I also think we can accredit the good offensive stats to rule changes. Players these days can do anything they want on the perimeter b/c rules make perimeter defensive almost impossible. You can't touch the guy- hence FG% going up. And if you do, you send him to the free throw line- hence higher...

You make a great point Kirk. I was thinking the same thing regarding Minnesota. If they are commited to KG then they have to try and win now. AI would be a/ the key piece. If they fail to even try and get AI (and that's what I'm hearing out of Minny believe it or not) I think that shows...

So now the AI trade speculation really begins. From the looks of things it seems as if the damage between Iverson and the 76ers is irreparable. During tonight's game Sixers' chairman Ed Snider said the team would be looking to move AI. I must say that I'm disappointed. AI and the city of...

Here is what I posted on the message board at his personal website: Thank you Mr. Poledouris for your gift of music you shared with the world. Many a time your music has brought a smile to my face or a tear to my eye. Conan the Barbarian was my favorite of your pieces. I think without a doubt...

Congrats Pat... that's awesome!

Terrible cover art. But sandwiched in between other DVDs on my shelf it won't make a difference. I can't wait to see this disc.

Thanks!

So can I take it that people are satisfied with the new subs and most fears have been put to rest? I need feedback. Some unexpected money issues have forced me to put my purchase of the new DVD on hold for a couple of weeks. Bottom line do the subs pass the test or not? Thanks.

From a directorial/ technical perspective I thought the doc was very well made. As a piece of social commentary I thought it was a revelation. I disagree with the "finger-pointing" assessment previously made. To me that misses the deeper point of the doc. What the doc portrays is the...

And thanks JonZ and Chris S for those links! I can't wait for this release!!

Hey! How come Criterion never wrote me back?!! I'm kidding of course. But I'm glad they responded to Brian PB and thanks for subsequently sharing man. I'm encouraged big time by that response. And on another note, thank you PaulP for sharing those pix. My, my, my! Now I am really getting...

I concur.

Congrats! You all are the best!

re: Seven Samurai english subs. Criterion's website allows you to submit questions/ comments. Here is a copy of what I just submitted. I'll report if I hear anything back. --------------- To Whom It May Concern: The Criterion Collection stands at the vanguard of important classic...

I'm telling you the english subs to the version I saw last summer (done by Ms. Hoaglund) created a different movie from the one I love on Criterion's previous release of Seven Samurai. I'm not over-exaggerating. The difference was VERY clear. See my post #82 for more info. Believe me when I...

I made the "old fart" comment not to offend anyone. It was just to show in a joking manner that I'm not some old stubborn cat adverse to change. My point was to say that even someone in their 20s had an adverse reaction to this "modernizing" of the english subtitle translation for this...

Now I'm worried. I am a fan of the english subtitles used in Criterion's previous release of Seven Samurai. Last summer however, I attended a samurai movies film festival at NYC's Film Forum. http://www.filmforum.org/films/samurai.html The subtitles for this version were provided by...

September redeemed!!! After the sham that is Sept. 12's non-anamorphic Star Wars Trilogy release I can now once again be excited about September! Criterion's bringing the heat!! Wow, I'm souped! This announcement (which we've all been patiently waiting for) has me all giddy. I'll tell...

Thanks for the views guys.

I don't know if this has already been discussed in this forum. But I was watching RoTS tonight and something dawned on me. Vader's distaste for/ desire to overthrow Palpatine is evident from his talk with Padme in Ep. III to his convo with Luke at the end of TESB. Here's my question. When...
