"Screwball Comedy" set would make Theodora Goes Wild fair game, yes?

Magnificent Ambersons, highest priority I can think of. At some point you have to cut bait and go with the materials you have, this is too important to languish. A deal to include Criterion's commentary by Carringer from their old laser would be nice, it's also too useful/important to just...

Personally I toss the packaging. I don't have room for that junk.

I'd sure like THESE ARE THE DAMNED to fit in here somewhere.

Who said it was a disaster? It's not a disaster, it's just very very funny. Pacino is a one-man over the top machine - just listen to him bite off "Gimme All You Got! Gimme All You Got!" or "You could get keeeeled walkin' your doggie!'. The guy has me rolling on the floor. Really, drinking games...

The trick of the "Bad Movies We Love" book is to not focus on the obvious, like Ed Wood or genre schlock, but rather movies that most often had some fairly significant people involved who thought they were making a something of quality that time has revealed to be silly or just a flat-out...

You mean "accept" it? If so, spoken like a true Dalek. If you mean "except", that's far too accomodating and not Dalek-y at all. Personally I picked up a used copy of the Optimum quite cheaply this past week and couldn't be happier. Looks great. So I guess I didn't accept it, or except it.

As a fan of both, I'd say they have virtually nothing meaningful in common. An interest in deconstruction perhaps, but they go after deconstructing different things in tonally wholly different ways. They're both original Sherlock Holmes stories from the same decade interested more in why he...

deleted, on second thoughts not going to get into it.

Sure we did. The Kubrick set, the Leading Ladies Collection 2 set. Even one for December - the Blade Runner releases. I promise you Warners considers Blade Runner a Classic (actually, you should go to the Warners DVD website sometime and look at their "Classics" page - there's an old Halle Berry...

I feel like there should be some sort of commemorative service or something. Maybe the thread should be locked now, sort of like retiring a player's number. The only thing left to do is to campaign to have Robert's name added to the DVD's credits.

It's been commonly called the Soprano family for a few years now, starting sometime after Richie Aprile's death, but historically (in the show's backstory), it's the DiMeo Family, after founder Eckley "The Old Man" DiMeo. Johnny Boy and Junior Soprano were his capos. DiMeo has been in prison for...

I enjoyed this one more than most this season, but naturally what sticks out is the negative. I thought the our Sawyer/CooperSawyer confrontation was rather slackly written. The way our Sawyer discovers the relationship of CooperSawyer to him felt very contrived and unnatural. Cooper uses the...

Ouch.
