Tom DiCillo Fans?

[albabe]

I'm curious if anyone knows anything about Tom DiCillo Blu-Rays. I think I have all the official releases but I've found a Foreign Release (Double Whammy) that I think is likely suspect in the "official" category.

Living in Oblivion has been Officially released by Shout!.

There was/is a remastered and re-edited "Johnny Suede" high-def that was around for Streaming, but that seems to be gone now.

But nothing about Box of Moonlight, Real Blonde or Delirious.

How is the Living in Oblivion blu-ray? I have it on DVD, but I will upgrade at some point if the price drops. I love that film, but his others haven't been as funny to me.

Oops... Sorry... Like the usual idiot that I am, I didn't even check the "Subscribe" box... My bad.

I think the "Living in Oblivion" Blu-Ray is completely worth it. Lotsa Extras and great Quality. And now Delirious if being released too with nice Bonuses.

So, I guess this makes Two DiCillo BRs, right?

I noticed a few of Tom's other Films showing-up for Streaming. I think Tom said the Streaming Version of Johnny Suede was his "Director's Cut."

Tom's Films as a Writer/Director are:
Johnny Suede (1991)
Living in Oblivion (1995)
Box of Moonlight (1996)
The Real Blonde (1997)

Delirious (2006)
When You're Strange (Documentary) (2009)
Down in Shadowland (Documentary) (2014)


His Blu-Rays Available so far are:
Living in Oblivion (1995)
Delirious (2006) (Released in September 2020)

I love it too. But I'm fairly enamored of all of Tom's Films.

Two weeks... and Delirious will be released with a scene the Producers made Tom cut.

Here's Tom's "Old" Site. He talks about each of his Films and answers some questions posed to him in the Comments Section.

There is also a Journal of sorts where he does a bit more chatting and revealing...

I love The Real Blonde, watched it many times. Have it on DVD.

As good as Living In Oblivion is, it's Johnny Suede & Box Of Moonlight that i really want on blu ray. All 3 are some of the best US indie films of the 90's in my opinion.

Tom's stuff is very quirky but it seems so accessible to me... I have friends that just don't get "The Real Blonde." Actually, I'm not even sure what there is to "Get." It's all so Character-Oriented.

"Oblivion" is such fun. I work in Comic Books... and the first time I heard about it was from a good friend who told me, "You gotta see this. So many people we know are in it..."

He didn't mean that we knew the actual actors, but that all the characters were so similar to people we knew well at Marvel and DC and Image...

"Box..." is definitely my fave of the Early stuff. John Turturro, Sam Rockwell, Catherine Keener and Lisa Blount are all fantastic characters... and I really dig all the Weird-America stuff like the Poisoned Lake Murderers and the Jesus on the billboard.

I have Tom's Books/Journals for "Box" and "Oblivion." They're fun to read. Tom's an odd cookie - he's so sarcastic and facetious, that it's hard to know when he's being serious.

Here's his YT Account. He (or someone) actually talks to some of the posters.

Maybe it also just clicked with me because I don't there's anything to "get" in this movie.
