I'm looking forward to seeing it, but would love to hear what people who have seen it thought (I read the book and loved it). And I am ok if the movie veers from the book...I fully support the artistic fingerprint screenplay writers and film directors like to put on someone else's story. So that's not a deal-breaker for me.

I can't compare it to the book (having not read the book) but I watch this film the same way I study strangers on a bus.... it's a great character study.

Aug 2nd for me too.

I believe Aug 2nd is the best day for a b-day (I wouldn't know because it's the only one I ever had.). It's just when you were younger, it's mid-summer, no school, and it's f'n August. Plus Leo is the coolest sign.

Fine! I'll go with the crowd and share my birthday, Nov. 16, 1987.

You should've been around when we were sharing photos of our genitals.

Great to hear that. I can't wait to see it. And it must be a visually beautiful film, too. Thanks!

Ah, this is what I love about Amazon:
Day 1: Order Seven Samurai
Day 2: Hear Seven Samurai was shipped
Day 3: Receive Seven Samurai

So very very happy to have this and will watch it soon. ^_^ I find the packaging disagreeable though.

That's Science-Fiction.

Feb. of 1975, so that makes 36.

Watching Modern Times now, still have not opened The Great Dictator. (saving that for the weekend)

I think I will pick up People on Sunday during the upcoming B&N sale. The interlaced scan interests me. Is that a product of the different frames per second rate or what? (18 as opposed to 24fps)

Would be nice if Robert Osborne created interest for these titles instead of having to use ClassicFlix for the Archive stuff. Well lesser known films in a big rotation with the nomenclature of these not being available on any current factory pressed media format.

We Canadians get the shaft, orders are hit and miss as to who ships it and when we get it. The pending postal strike is just throwing a wrench in the works.

Amazon Canada normally uses Canada Post for their free shipping, but for one order, they used standard UPS.

I did get a couple or a few orders from DHL when importing alot during the heavily DVD phase of my online purchases. Other than that it's been quite smooth sailing excepting Back to the Future Trilogy which I ordered during the Holiday season last year.

Mine's 4/05/1979. There were many titles released on my birthday this year but I didn't pick up any, yet. Got a motherboard for the PC I'm building on my birthday though. Can't complain.:cool:

So now back to the irregularly scheduled programme.:D

On the 19th day of the month, for those keeping track, which means Jim Jones missed me by one day....
