A must-buy, surely?
I find the film more disturbing than Taxi Driver. It's a film that is more prevelant now than it was back in the early Eighties. Celebrity overkill is reaching critical mass these days.
De Niro as Pupkin is one of Modern Cinema's greatest performances.
Can't wait to get this one. Is there a street date yet?
And the Scorsese SE boxed set from Warners!
Gordy
In DVDfile's (or maybe it was The Digital Bits) announcement of the release date and specs, they didn't mention anything about a commentary track, even though that's what Mr. Staddon said was holding the release up. Does anyone have any info on this?
I don't think that Fox and Warner are going to "join forces" and include King Of Comedy in the set that Warner has announced.
I'm still a little unsure about the content of Warner's Scorsese boxed set. I've heard it's a 4 disc set, but I've also heard that it's a 5 disc set!
It's Not Just You, Murray Mean Streets After Hours Goodfellas
All in Special Editions? Digitally remastered anamorphic transfers? DD5.1 on all titles? Commentary by Scorsese on all titles? What could the fifth (if there even is one) disc be? I think it'll be a four disc comprising the above, all with new transfers and varied extra features. Wouldn't bet on commentaries by Scorsese on all films.
Tne Other disc that is being worked on is 'Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore.'
Still, we could do with some fair news on the progress of this set, as I am gasping to see a good version of Goodfellas and the movies metnioned above. I am holding fire on king of.. till the box set specs are announced..
