    The official BLADE RUNNER SE thread. (Check out page 8 and #790.)

    "Lack of"? If I remember correctly, the DC had no voice-over/narration and that was something that both Ridley Scott and Harrison Ford ended up not liking, or at least Ford resented. I also think it makes Ford's performance much more effective. Anyway, it's great to see some development's...

    Any Decent Versions of Kurosawa's "Ran"? on DVD?

    After the terrible Fox Lober release (the first one that you refer to), the Wellspring (Masterworks Edition) DVD is a Godsend. It even has a restoration demo: I don't know of any other future releases of Ran so pick it up!:emoji_thumbsup:

    will seven samurai be re-released.

    Yeah, don't hold off on picking up the Four Samurai Classics box set. I remember getting a great deal on it from DVDPlanet. Oh, and Criterion needs more Michael Jeck commentary tracks on Kurosawa DVDs! His commentary on the Seven Samurai and Throne of Blood discs were fantastic. I mean, I enjoy...

    Artwork: Kill Bill Volume 2

    Heh, you're right, on closer inspection that is Chinese. Traditional it looks like, but I could be wrong. I guess I just assumed it was Japanese considering the Vol. 1 teaser poster had the Japanese characters for "Ki-ru Bi-ru" in the background.

    Artwork: Kill Bill Volume 2

    As much as I love the image of Uma in the bridal gown holding her Hanzo sword, it just didn't look very good next to the Vol. 1 cover. The “KILL BILL” font was particularly terrible and Japanese characters just made it look tacky. This “new” cover looks much more attractive and stylish (with the...
