Will, I wish there was a button more than "like" that I could press concerning your statement. Love? Adore? Something like that. In any case thanks for your "liked" thoughts. :dancing-banana-04:

Not to my knowledge. The picture and sound quality on the current blu-ray seem excellent to me, at least on my set up (50" panny plasma, Rotel amplifier with an Onkyo receiver as a pre-amp, and Definitive Technology speakers and subwoofer). Anyone know if there's going to be an official HTF...

It's still playing at the Paris in NYC. It felt strange but good to know that as I was seeing it at home on bluray there were people seeing it "with me" at the exact same time, in New York's last single screen movie house.

Ah, like the old saying goes, "great minds think alike." Be of good cheer Will, no doubt it will arrive tomorrow. And who knows, the day isn't done yet. Mine wasn't supposed to arrive until tomorrow either.

Here in the northeast we're getting pummeled by the third late season nor'easter in less than two weeks. Originally I had planned on, after work, going to the nearby Best Buy to pick up my copy of Call Me By Your Name. Then the forecasts started. I chose to order through Amazon instead, I...

Joel, less than 10 years ago I suddenly received a call from a good friend asking me to take him to the ER. The tone in his voice, well you can imagine. I'm extremely happy to say he's doing really well now. But I think of that night......... . In any case, yeah, The Normal Heart is excellent...

Mark, I am just so sorry you had to go through that. There simply are no words. I think that, like you, I'm going to watch BPM eventually, but it's going to have to be at the right time. I'm still reeling from The Normal Heart (and that's almost four years ago)!

Mark I just started reading the novel. To say Mr. Ivory did an amazing job of translating this work into a screenplay just might be the understatement of the year. I can't think of a more worthy recipient! Exactly Keith! This universality puts CMBYN up there with some of Hollywood's greatest...

Mark, thanks so much for sharing your analysis of CMBYN with all of us here. Two weeks after seeing it, that film is still very much on my mind. I still find it difficult to express all the ways this movie affected me. Reading the thoughts of others has definitely helped.

This reminds me of a story from a friend of mine. In the late '60's he worked at an old movie house that was showing a lot of "B" movies, often low budget teen beach flicks. On a quiet night he'd call up to the projection booth and tell the operator to go ahead and drop a real so they could all...

I loved it Steve. It's right up there with Maurice and Remains of the Day for me. The entire cast was great, but I especially enjoyed Daniel Day-Lewis. Unfortunately watching it via Netflix streaming brought in some technical issues I'd never encountered before with streaming, so it became a bit...

:rolling-smiley:

:angry: I'd almost forgotten that they made DVD's like that.

Maurice is tied with The Remains Of The Day as my favorite Merchant Ivory film. But perhaps that's because I've never seen A Room With A View. Well that will change after tonight. Netflix has it available for streaming (unlike Longtime Companion) so it'll be viewed this evening. Thanks for the...

Steve, have you ever seen a very good independent film from around 1989/90 called Longtime Companion? In some ways I found it much more moving than Philadelphia. Unfortunately the DVD seems to be out of print, with Amazon listing new copies starting at $47.89. On a positive note the DVD is...
