Thanks, John. You made my point a lot better than I could. I also doubt that Lynch is tearing his hair out over this. From what I've read, he is happy with FWWM. It got a bad reception at Cannes, and I bet that upset him more than New Line ever could. He should be happy with FWWM: it's a...

MK2, then. It's still a French company. Seriously, I've tried to clear reprint rights with French copyright owners, and this is how they operate: 1. Doesn't respond to first query 2. Weeks later, they get a follow-up query 3. Months later they respond to it...with a question 4...

I totally believe New Line when they say it's not about money. CIBY 2000 is a French company. I know from working in rights and permissions in publishing that French companies are NOTORIOUS for slagging off on rights issues. They will completely ignore requests, so you can't even talk about...

I've seen this movie many times and never get tired of it. To anseer your questions: 1. Why didn't she call the police after the first murder? She does call the police from a pay phone to report the murder, but hangs up before giving her name. 2. Why did the end show her among the...

Yes, Yes, Yes! This movie's out already? I have got to get it. This is a great movie and I have never seen it in its original aspect ratio. I agree that it has occasional flaws, but it goes deeper than most every other movie about Vietnam, or any war movie for that matter. Sean Penn and...

July, eh? Ugh. End of Evangelion must be the first movie I ever got the poster, soundtrack, and fansub for, almost a full year before a legit Region 1 version sees the light of day. Since it's a masterpiece I'll probably still get it when it comes out...but July??? What exactly are they...

I don't want to sound like I'm harping here, but I think it's wrong to refer to Diane's fantasies as "dreams." Maybe outside a Lynch movie it wouldn't make any difference, but throughout Lynch's work he has clearly drawn a line between "dreams" and "fantasies." In "dreams," the main character is...

I just got back from my second viewing of "Mulholland Drive." A confession: David Lynch is one of my heroes. "Blue Velvet" is my favorite movie of all time. I don't just watch his stuff, I consume it, and there has never, ever been a time when I felt bad after seeing something he made. I...

Tony, I agree with everything you say except the part about the lamp, and the fantasy that Diane and Camilla are lovers. It was a piano ashtray, not a lamp, that the woman from Bungalow #12 took from Diane's coffee table. Later on when Diane and Camilla are half-naked on the couch, the...

Thi, you can say you thought the first half was a dream, but don't say that it WAS a dream. There's more than one interpretation. I for one can't believe that someone like David Lynch would be that hackneyed -- that he'd pass off 100 minutes of film as nothing but one character's daydream. I...

I'm finding it necessary to keep all my different Police Storys, because they're all so different. The "Police Force" VHS tape includes courtroom scenes that aren't in the Tai Seng subtitled version, which is LONGER because it includes the telephone juggling scene the "Police Force" version...

I can't wait for these movies....I've got the fansubbed End of Evangelion and it's just a great movie. Though I do love the series ending, this is one heck of a substitute!

For me, the jig was up as soon as I saw the company name: ANIME CARTOONS INTERNATIONAL. No legit anime company would call their product CARTOONS. :)

I've seen this lots of times too, Patrick, and never saw that scene either.

Nice review, Matt. I've got the 3-disc and my only complaint is that the music in the opening sequence is somewhat muted compared to every other version I've seen. I'm used to hearing the music LOUD over the entire opening. On this disc it fades out when Jessica's in the cab, and then it...

Matt, the ending scene I'm talking about is: Spoiler: When the girl crawls through the grass and plays with a bug. The revival screening I saw in theatres ended with: Spoiler: The girl walking away from the cops, saying the killer was "crazy...just crazy..." Fade to black. Lame! I hope...

I for one hope it's uncut so they keep the original wacky ending. I won't go into details, but the original ending had a character do something so silly and whacked out it BEGS laughter....but I love it. When I saw the movie recently at a revival theatre, it was a new cut, with the wacky...

I LOVE this movie! I saw it in a theatre a couple of years ago and it was one of the few times I've been in a jam-packed crowd at a great 70s flick...and in the end it got huge applause. Argento is a maestro. I also picked up the beautiful 3-disc set yesterday and can't wait to plunge in...

This sounds like pure economics....any big movie that comes out these days about terrorists is going to be a flop....we get enough of that on TV.

I think they should just make their movies and stop thinking they're the center of the frickin' universe and tearing their hair out over whether we'll all have a collective aneurysm just because the WTC shows up in their stupid comic-book movie. Anyone in Hollywood fussing over this is a...

Great movie, wonderful news.

I went to get this at Best Buy today and asked the supervisor if he heard of any problems with it. He said he didn't hear anything but offered to test the disc. I bought the 1-disc Opera and then went straight to the return counter to have it tested. The women there invited me into the back...
