Is that the buy 2 get one free sale? So, it starts this Sunday, and when does it end? Thanks!

Very Clever. How's that working out for you - being clever?

It works fine for me.

I've been wondering, when some people have "Special Member" below their name, does this mean that they are a Special Member, as in, "They take the short bus to school member"?

For real, did a Mod make mine "Blu-ray Samurai" for the fact I dislike Kurosawa's samurai films or is there really more blu-ray samurai people?

I like Kurosawa's samurai films. Can I have your title? :p

I wonder if you can custom change your title?

Nice Fight Club quote, one of my favorites of many from that movie

I just made it through all 205 minutes of Andrei Rublev. Hopefully that gets a Blu-ray release eventually, great film.

Dibs on Blu-ray Douchebag

ROFLMAO!!!


That's funny right there....:D

To be a Blu-ray Samurai comes with training and (posting) experience.

So says the Ninja. :ninja:

Speaking of the subtitles under our screen names...is there any spot on this site that lists the various titles and when they are changed?

My copy of Great Dictator should finally arrive tomorrow!

Oh, and June 25, 1985. Is it sad that I already am starting to feel old? Just thinking that people that were born when I was 15 are turning 11 this year freaks me out.

And It Had To Happen, sooner or later:

(Not that we needed persuading, of course. :thumbsup: )

FYI, Canada Post is officially doing what they call a rolling strike. Right now, Winnipeg Postal Workers are off the job for 24 hours. After 24 hours, more cities will go for a period of 24 hours, and so on and so forth.

DHL has released the following:

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) has announced that they will start strike activities at 11:59 p.m. EDT on Thursday, June 2, 2011. A news release from the CUPW said the strike will begin in Winnipeg for 24 hours, after which it will continue in other locations to be announced later. Due to the nature of the rolling strike format, DHL Global Mail will pick-up and process mail and parcels to Canada as normal, however delays are to be expected as a result of the work disruptions in Canada. Canada Post has not released a statement as to how they will handle mail in those areas affected by the strike, and possible backlogs in processing. DHL Global Mail is working to review alternate solutions in the event the strike continues for a prolonged amount of time. We will continue to monitor events surrounding the strike and ongoing negotiations between Canada Post and the CUPW, and provide updates as they develop.


So for any of my fellow Canadians who ordered Criterions from Amazon.com, your stuff will hopefully show up eventually. That wasn't quite grammatically sound, but there's really no other way to put it. It sucks, to put it bluntly. At least Amazon sent me Monterey Pop via UPS, and it's going to show up at my mom's place today while I'm at work. I'll get it when I go home for a weekend visit. So disappointed that my order of The Secret of Kells, Bigger than Life, and Au Revoir Les Enfants has been delayed even further.

My b-day is August 18, 1985 to add to that train of though.

It's almost not enough with 3 Reasons, that's a Movie you could name about 300 Reasons why.

And the detractors will still not like it because it's too popular ;)

It's so easy to put Ikiru on top of a list. On the other hand I've watched Seven Samurai endless times and it's 207 minutes long and despite that it never feels like it has lengths, it's just a perfect storytelling in any way. You can't beat that and that's one of the most import things, how the story unfolds.
And the scene in forest in the flower field is among the most beautiful things I've ever seen on film.

Mifune holding the baby by the mill is my favorite. Great scene.

That scene is so heart breaking,:sad: but than again it's so well established where the Mifune character is coming from, by the time this scene plays out it's so sad how everything he tries to be and all the things he tries to escape has a very simple reason.
