Thanks Josh.

I’ve never seen Irma La Douce properly. I saw bits on PBS. I was curious about Grace Lee Whitney’s part in the film. It must have been pretty small. Good to see Billy Wilder gave her another role.

Thanks Josh, appreciate your comments and you reading mine.

Congrats Josh! I’m still going to try to catch up with you and see as many Cary Grant titles as I can. :)

Well, in my defense, I have seen Its A Wonderful Life many times and Miracle on 34th Street once ages ago. And I saw The Bishop's Wife last year. Thanks Josh regarding the 3D Valerian. I think I'll order the 2D when I order White Christmas. :)

Thanks Josh regarding the 3D Valerian. I’m interesting in collecting as many 3D titles as I can too. But I’m not sure I wanted to go that route. :) Is that U.K. version playable on a region 1 player? I had seen the ads several years ago of the restored White Christmas. But I never got around...

That’s a lot of holiday films you saw! White Christmas is a classic. I’ve not seen it either. :) Valerian is a film I do want to see. Though I’m curious why so much trouble to see the 3D version? I didn’t read your whole review to avoid knowing too much. I figured the films failure at the box...

Hey Josh, I forgot about that suggestion of doing direct links! I'll second Ramon's post, that must have been a mammoth task! And thank you very much for doing that. Should be a useful reference now. :) I just tried one link to ffolkes. It worked. :). I hadn't seen that film yet, but read...

I forgot Experiment in Terror was directed by Blake Edwards too if that makes a difference. :). I see the Twilight Time blu ray is sold out, so the other option is a DVD or secondary market for the blu ray. The blu ray looks pretty great too as I recall. It if it’s not on your radar Josh, maybe...

I’ve never seen The Big Heat. May try to see it. I’d be curious if you’d seen Ford in Experiment in Terror. Notable for early Lee Remick and Stephanie Powers and Ross Martin. And filmed in San Francisco.

That’s how some people probably feel about 2001: A Space Odyssey. They see it and think, what’s the big deal. ( hard to believe, I know. ) It’s all about taste and what you like as you know. I probably resisted a lot of the early Hitchcock titles like Rebecca for that reason you cite. Now that...

"Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again.“ Last night I did watch Rebecca, the new Criterion blu ray release of the Daphne de Mauier’s novel adaptation. As I said in the Criterion Rebecca blu ray release thread, I’m a big Hitchcock fan and have collected this film in all earlier Criterion...

I'm continuing my exploration into my 3D collection and for conditioning my eyes to better see 3D. :) I have had Hugo blu-ray 3D sitting on my shelf for some time and I forgot about it. I had absolutely no idea what the film is about or the genre. I just knew it was an Academy Award winner. Wow...

At this stage it would be a lot of work!

Josh, I have a title I'll be watching soon and I was curious if it's on your list. It's not, but if it was, it made me wonder if there was a way on your first post to make each title a link so we could tap it and be taken to the review post for convenience. I'm not saying you should do this, but...

I hope you'll indulge my diversion into John Wick world. As I mentioned above, the sequel is a blind buy. I rewatched the first film, or chapter as they are calling it and went straight into the second part. I thought it was quite good, a direct continuation from the first part. When the first...

That's interesting insight into how the news agency works Josh. Sometimes they will need archival info, either for background for the main story or for times when they need some information. I never liked or could get up early to go to work early, but I'm a little older now and I find in order...

That's cool Josh, WGBH has a lot of shows I watch! Thanks for the details about your current day job. That explains the hours. I imagine the last 24 hours might have been a little busier.

From my reading of earlier posts by Josh on other threads as well as this one, is that he was a film school student, and that he has a job in the film industry. That has been my impression, but I wasn't clear what kind of job. From the work shift schedules mentioned, sometimes I wondered if Josh...

I did watch Pacific Rim last night and in 3D. I still enjoy it. The only thing I didn't like was the over the top scientists. But they were comic relief and I guess that was OK. I think like The Great Wall, it was very similar, a small specialized army has to defeat these creatures or else they...

Well Josh, if I had not liked The Great Wall, it's ok because I was actually curious about Yimou's work being unfamiliar with it. I figured this was going to be a fun introduction. I'll be curious about House of the Flying Daggers and a few others including the one you recommended, To LIVE. I...

Of late I seem to be watching whatever my heart feels interest on. I recently went through The Fast and the Furious, minus the first two, and rewatched in this order, 4, 5, 6, 3, 7 after having watched 8 and then seeing your comments Josh. For whatever reason, a whim came over me and I'm...

I just got the Criterion Collection edition of The Lodger! :)

Thanks Bryan. I did find only one DVD copy of To LIVE on Amazon. For $90.00. I found a few on eBay for considerably less. Josh, one reviewer on Amazon is a college professor who regularly shows this film to his class. I wonder if it's the same professor as yours?

I'll chase a copy of To Live, thanks for the recommendation. :)

Josh, thanks for the additional insight. I took a moment to review an interview with Damon from last year while promoting The Great Wall. I must have been really good at avoiding spoilers and just general pop culture stuff. I had no idea he was fighting in interviews the controversy of his...

Josh, your review of The Great Wall has me curiously to see it. When first announced, I had no idea it was a monster film! Nor was I too interested. One of the interesting things I thought about while reading your post was whether the monster is based on ancient Chinese myths. It appears it...

Josh, I'll be sure to report what I thought of the Studio One broadcast of The Defender. I already had sampled a few scenes when it aired on Decades TV earlier this week, which prompted the purchase. The episode can be found as an extra on the first season of The Defenders TV series DVD release...

Hey Josh, lots to discuss from such a plethora of films! I haven't seen those Dracula follow-ups. Not a big vampire fan. :) But it's interesting you got Kingdom of the Spiders. I saw your post on that thread so it was good to see your post about it. I hate to saw I remember when that came out...

Edward Fox made me think of Bernard Fox, but I know it's two different actors. I'm afraid I managed to miss every film Edward Fox has appeared in. Looking at his IMDb entry, his resume is very full and he's done a lot of work! I did see Never Say Never Again, so I did see that. The trivia...
