Yeah, not a fan of the Supes & Lois casting but I have to admit the last trailer made me excited to see the movie.
ION, the Bladerunner reissue got a more detailed look from
The Digital Bits -
This coming September, there will be a new limited DVD release (HD-DVD & Blu-ray Disc are also planned) of the restored 1992 Director's Cut (you know... the one that isn't really a director's cut). This will be available for just four months. We believe this is basically the 2-disc release that Warner had originally planned to bow LAST year.
Then next year, just in time for the film's 25th anniversary, Ridley Scott's ultimate Blade Runner: The Final Cut will hit theaters for a limited run. This will be a REAL director's cut, with restored scenes and more - all the stuff that Ridley's always wanted to do with the film but hasn't really been given the chance to do before. That will be followed later in the year by an Ultimate Blade Runner DVD release. You can expect a multi-disc box set (again, likely with a simultaneous HD-DVD and Blu-ray Disc release) that will contain at least four different versions of the film... ALL in full anamorphic widescreen, we might add. You'll get the film's original U.S. theatrical cut, you'll get the expanded international theatrical cut, you'll get the 1992 Director's Cut and you'll get the new Final Cut as well. Now... we realize at this point, you may have questions. Keep in mind, there's a TON of additional material that's going to be included in this set that hasn't been announced and can't be talked about yet - all-new material that you've never seen before. The set is pretty early in the planning and production stage, so it's way too early to talk details, but trust us... some very cool stuff is in the works. These extras will likely be different from the September '06 release, so if you buy both you'll at least be getting your money's worth.
A neighbor rented "The Family Stone" and gave it to us to watch. I hate every single person in this movie. A lot.
In my attempt to whittle down the list of "What! You've never seen..." movies, I watched Breathless tonight.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is the origins of Hec's hair fetish
Next up, The Conversation.

Not the origin, but certainly a key reference point in the whole personal mythos. Yeah, this picture pinged me though. (She's not holding a tribble. That's her hair after she first got it cut for St. Joan.)
Just a little iconic, though, yeah.
Fantastique!
But as with Maggie O'Connell, she just looked bland/pretty with longer hair.
Next up, The Conversation.
Great movie! I always link it in my mind with De Palma's Blow Out since they're both meditations on surveillence and truth in the Watergate aftermath.
It's very cerebral in working out it's central conceit, but it's also very powerful because of (a) Coppola's inherent juiciness and (b) Gene Hackman's amazing performance. (Contained contained contained....)
I recently read, The Conversations, which was Michael Ondaatje talking to Walter Murch about film editing, and they kept coming back to The Conversation, which piqued my interest. Of course, I've already forgotten all the details of the film they talk about, so I'll have to re-read it.
1960's & 70's American film is a huge gap in my already very gappy movie viewing. I only saw Godfathers I & II in the past year.
Wonders never cease. Stephanie Zacharek wrote a review of a comic book movie (X-3) that I don't completely disagree with, and manages to impress me with her knowledge of X-Men comics in the process.
ETA: standard Salon click-thru disclaimer
Bugging me tonight: anyone remember a particularly low-budget horror movie spoof from the eighties with a running body count and a creepy janitor? I think it was called something anodyne like "Horror Movie" but I can't find it.
Student Bodies??? I remember that one...but I'm not 100% on the title.
