John, you said in your review a line of dialogue was excised and another one used a different take. i didn't catch either of these. just out of curiousity what were they?
good call, i spaced on that. that would've improved the slasher feel if there was that sense of looming danger right from the beginning i guess. i still love it for waht it is.
i thought death proof was genius. it didn't bother me that nothing happened for a long time. every slasher movie starts out with a group of friends partying for a half hour before any kills. i enjoyed hanging out with these characters and kurt russel was outta control good. quentin's twist on...
i can't decide if this is worth buying or not. i've only seen 4 mel brooks movies. i thought frankenstein, blazing saddles, and producers were brilliant. spaceballs was one of the worst movies i've ever seen. i dunno if i'm comfortable taking a chance on the other 5 movies in the set.
the guy by himself talking about 'dad' is casey murrow. the guy with the much older lady talking about 'dad' are fred friendly's son and wife. the two old people are joe and shirley wershba. if i remember correctly those are the only people in there that weren't directly involved with the film...
i'm going to be watching creepshow with george romero on april 19th. not quite dawn of the dead, but i'll be sure to have my 4-disc ready for signing. (i actually don't like creepshow at all, but i'm not passing up a chance to meet mr romero and listen to him speak)
they goofed with this. they should have included both versions of the film. the gunshot effects really create the aesthetic of spaghetti western as far as i'm concerned.
there was a trailer on the spike jonze music video directors series dvd for an "adaptation special edition." that was a year or two ago though. and knowing spike it could have been a joke. seems odd though. anyhow judging by the malkovich special edition, i'm not sure how great an adaptation...
i got it today. the interview with lynch is fantastic. it answers almost everything i'd ever want to know about how he makes films. the scene on the other hand. lynch is my favorite filmmaker. and this takes about 90% of the excitement i had for inland empire away. the look of it is just...
this was a miramax release right? i wonder if weinsteinco will continue these practices. it's a shame you can't get drunken master II or fist of legend on dvd in this country uncut with the original soundtrack. :angry:
great post adam! pixar has done a fantastic job with these ghibli films. i wonder if they'll be revisiting mononoke, castle in the sky, or kiki's delivery service.
