Do the Right Thing (1989) (20th Anniversary Edition)

[MCT]

Awesome review! I was so worried that this movie would get neglected with an average transfer, so imagine my excitement when I just now read the glowing review on the front page. Definitely happy to hear this.

I don't remember much of this movie besides cliches everywhere and a cheesy soundtrack, not sure it's a first day buy. Will browse reviews and check prices first.

A masterpiece. One of the few must have releases of this summer for me.

[Variable]

I definitely want to get this but I'm not sure when.

seems like a quality release. good transfer and all the criterion special features from the dvd + some new stuff. well worth $20.99.

Looks like I'll be upgrading from the Criterion DVD

Good review. I haven't seen the movie in years so I'm sure I'll pick it up at some point.

If that's really all you got out of this movie, you should try to actually engage with the work rather than watch it from the most superficial vantage point possible.

With any justice, this will be released on the hottest day of the summer, and the dvd store will get their window smashed in with a trashcan because there's no pictures of Giancarlo Esposito up on the wall.

[Groo The Perverted]

nice review. Would have been nice if a tribute to Robin Harris had been included, but it looks to be a solid release.

dude, you are the MAN for having a Groo avatar. Probably my all time favorite comic book character next to Spidey.

FINALLY! someone knows who the hell he is. lol

Most people just mock me for my psn name because they're young kids who don't know who Groo is. lol

When there's something that movie pointed out it's definitely that racism depending on the situation is bound to come up in ALL of us and can be triggered by hate and anger. I don`t find the movie leaning one way or the other, like a lot of people seem to think. And the point is that Mookie throws the trashcan into the Pizzeria because it means only damage to the Pizzeria. Because if you look at him he get's up and the expression on his face is, like this has to be done. Because violence will erupt and has to have some kind of outlet. One of the best Movies from the 80s.

This movie is a classic and I will own it on Day 1!

That's a very astute observation Harry. Spike is basically saying attack the way racism is institutionalized and don't attack people. Of course, it's probably not a good idea to give away the ending!
