  1. And the "Partly Cloudy" Pixar short -- absent from the press screening I saw -- is a keeper.
  2. Watched UP on Blu-ray last night. It's even better in 2D -- easier to see and appreciate everything in the frame.
  3. Hey Oscar Wilde! It's CLOBBERIN' TIME!!! (Collected artists' drawings of literary figures.) http://bit.ly/kJOeg
  4. @flmfrkcentral My wife just reminded me that my Criterion KANE had -- shock! horror! -- laser rot. Still, the scene in question was OK.
  5. @flmfrkcentral But I do still have AMBERSONS, DEAD RINGERS, THE GAME, SE7EN, FISHER KING, BREAKING THE WAVES etc etc etc.
  6. @flmfrkcentral Just realized -- shock! horror! -- Criterion KANE box didn't survive my most recent laserdisc purge. What was I thinking?
  7. @Soulsmithy I've long planned to do a split-screen video showing DVNR jacking up a great scene on CITIZEN KANE DVD vs original (from LD).
  8. @flmfrkcentral Telecine was at Sony, FWIW. Anyway, Criterion's SEVENTH SEAL is spectacular. 3RD MAN too (tho cropped a bit tight).
  9. @flmfrkcentral I think conv. wisdom is LCD/plasma accentuates grain in bad ways, requiring at least some DVNR to get "right" look.
  10. REPULSION/Polanski 65/A-/Pretty scary, actually; Deneuve is great. Criterion Blu-ray is nice; some shots exhibit a bit too much DVNR.
  11. @flmfrkcentral SONGS FROM THE SECOND FLOOR is pretty awesome but not on my decade list. L'HUMANITE is singular, but I can take or leave it.
  12. I'm in trouble -- please recommend this message! (Demon's Souls for PS3 is so awesome.)
  13. @Sharon_GoodLife Thanks! I was really surprised to learn (recently) that EMP was a hot ticket. I thought it was very good but unremarkable.
  14. @dillamonster Sequels are nowhere near the original. I guess I liked BEYOND better than BRIDE but won't watch either again.
  15. @Sharon_GoodLife I ate at 11 Madison Park once. It was nice, but I kept looking out the window, wishing I was at Shake Shack.
  16. Really? The Walter Reade (@filmlinc) showed THE BROOD on video? Glad I didn't leave the house for it. http://bit.ly/1be14p [via The Auteurs]
  17. @dillamonster RE-ANIMATOR theme is parody of/homage to/swipe from PSYCHO score. One-of-a-kind film (except for that).
  18. Had no idea Harlan Ellison was fighting Paramount this yr over his awesome Star Trek ep. Settled now. http://bit.ly/mCCJ1
  19. Oh my. Rosenbaum just posted an epically sarcastic David Thomson takedown. Yeowtch. http://bit.ly/wKcKh
  20. @flmfrkcentral @Soulsmithy Jay Leno marathon!
