Man Who Fell to Earth. I was just at BB & saw this new 2 disc out early. I was wondering if anyone has it yet or if you know of any reviews.
It is too bad they couldn't get the commentary from the Criterion laserdiscDefinitely! As a Bowie fanatic, I got the LD JUST because of that track - I wanted to hear Bowie yak about the flick (which I'd never seen prior to that time). I wasn't disappointed - he was terrific. Too bad the whole commentary wasn't just Bowie alone - not that the others weren't good, but Bowie offered some great stories...
Personally, I find the LD transfer more aesthetically appealing despite its lower resolution: the cooler colours seem to suit the story better.The Fox Lorber DVD was made from Criterion's transfer, so if you prefer that transfer you can pick them up factory-sealed for about $7 on Half.com.
