Been a while since I've seen the film, but why would the Green Goblin think he'd even recognized Spidey if he unmasked him? I mean, in a city as large as NYC, why would the Green Goblin think he'd learn anything about Spidey's identity by unmasking Spidey?
I was young when this show aired, but I recall it's hilarious. I wonder if I'd think so were I to see it again. I'd definitely pick up a DVD release to find out, that's for sure. Too bad one is not in the works.
I had to miss the chat because I was traveling at the time. I am very disappointed I had to miss the chat, now that I've read the chat transcript. The questions were generally good. The responses were candid and it seemed as though the studio's participants tried to be as informative as...
Brownlow's Hollywood and the Rolling Stones documentary C*cksucker Blues are the two that lept to mind. There have been many good suggestions made in this thread, but I think, e.g., all of Preston Sturges' films will make it out eventually. Now when exactly can we expect Lubitsch's To Be or...
I was sad at the original news. Bumping the thread reminded me of her passing, as well as the fact she wasn't listed in the Oscar broadcast's retrospective on those who had died.
I thought the reason Criterion's DVD went OOP is because Criterion licensed their high-quality transfer from Universal. So how is it that the Criterion goes OOP, and Universal releases the DVD with a transfer that is obviously inferior? Does this make any sense?
Ron, great review. I didn't find Princess Mononoke as great as the hype had made it out to be, but I may now rent this and/or Kiki due to your reviews. Now, pardon me for digressing into a nitpick:
After reading the suit filed, and the media report, I'm inclined to think Gandolfini's suit has some merit. Whether or not HBO is being reasonable, I cannot say, since no one is privy to the negotiations, and any reports may be self-serving (to the side doing the serving). However, I don't...
Not that I would want it to happen, but if it came to Sopranos w/o Gandolfini or no Sopranos at all, it should be possible to continue, e.g. Digitally insert Tony in the 1st episode as did was done with Tony's mother in the 2nd episode of the 3rd season, then have him whacked--by Furio. Don't...
The first season of this show is excellent. It's just a shame that the few Caruso episodes in season 2 could not have been put in this set instead. I definitely recommend a watch before you buy, but if you've never seen the show before, there's a good chance you're in for a treat.
That statistic isn't very helpful, because it's very clear from the skewed distribution of movie earnings that most movies will lose money. These losses are subsidized by profits from the few hugely profitable and successful blockusters. (At least, that's how it works in Hollywood.) Knowing how...
I haven't seen Arsenic and Old Lace, but I've seen the others. I consider all three to be very good films. My favorite, as well as the one I think the best constructed, is His Girl Friday. Absolutely wonderful. Of the comedies I've seen from this era, I rank it alongside The Lady Eve and To Be...
I don't think the Rolling Stones documentary Cocksucker Blues has ever been released on home video. Heck, it's next to impossible to exhibit theatrically...
It wasn't a continuous shot, though I thought that before I replayed the scene from tape. After LaPaglia says his lines, there's a brief cut to the guy in the car, then back to LaPaglia, then he starts walking, then the upchuck.
