Perhaps I should have used the more personal "you" instead of the collective "they."

So, where are these trailers on twitter? I haven't seen a post since 9 hours ago...for the WB Archive title review.

Ryan Gallagher is posting them on his own Twitter page.

It's on Instant Netflix at the moment, if you're that blinded by 80's-mythologized sentimentality.

"Parasite", however, is not.

I am blinded! I saw it in theatres back in the 80's and then on VHS maybe 8 years ago or so...can't remember. I had to drive to a Blockbuster like 30 minutes away to get it!

Its just one of those guilty pleasures...that's why I'm super excited for Corman's Battle Beyond the Stars on BD in July as well!!!

Hmm... I didn't think 3 Women would be coming to Blu for a while. I have the DVD, and I thought it was a pretty interesting film. Shelly Duvall and Sissy Spacek are both very good in it. It's one of those movies that is a bit out there. It's almost like a strange dream.

ckocher · 06-15-2011, 05:01 PM

I'm hoping for something from Wes Anderson and Bergman's Wild Strawberrys. Crossing my fingers!

If this is true I am very pleased. 3 Women deserves to be revisited and it is one of Altman's best IMO. Duvall and Spacek are awesome in the film. This is the film I love watching on a hot summer afternoon when you just don't want to go outside.

wolffuncut · 06-15-2011, 05:14 PM

I was hoping for "Short Cuts"

Alex DeLarge · 06-15-2011, 05:44 PM

Nice to see some love for Altman's 3 WOMEN. Great film. The only thing that would make me happier is MCCABE & MRS. MILLER. Never pass up Julie Christie in high-def (or any def for that matter).

Will today complete the new year's drawing?

Finally complete the whole set, here come my complete short summary review of America Lost and Found: The BBS Story Box Set:

Head - You can just skip this silly meaningless film.
Story - 0 Star
PQ - 4 Star & 2 Star (the picture quality is too inconsistent)
AQ - 4 Star

Easy Rider - Tragedy ending, but worth a view, great cinematography. Loving all the songs as well. 3rd best from this BBS collection.
Story: 4 Star
PQ: 4.5 Star
AQ: 4.5 Star

Five Easy Pieces - My 2nd favor film in this box set collection, worth watching. Great acting.
Story: 4 Star
PQ: 5 Star
AQ: 5 Star

Drive, He Said - It was OK, quite a lot frontal (male only) in this film.
Story: 3.5 Star
PQ: 3.5 Star
AQ: 3.5 Star

A Safe Place - 2nd worst film from BBS, another avoidable film.
Story: 2 Star
PQ: 3.5 Star
AQ: 3.5 Star

The Last Picture Show - The greatest film from this BBS collection, this is my 1st and only B&W film in Blu-ray at the moment.
Story: 5 Star
PQ: 5 Star
AQ: 5 Star

The King of Marvin Gardens - It kind of bored storyline, not my taste, I find it storyline nothing worth for a grab.
Story: 3 Star
PQ: 5 Star
AQ: 5 Star

In overall, the whole BBS collection not recommended for child view. Beside that two silly film "Head" & "A Safe Place", all with frontal nudity and some sex scenes.

Is this set worth the value? no with original price, yes during big discount - thanks god I grab it during big promotion. In overall, only 3 out of 7 films for me is masterpiece - "The Last Picture Show", "Five Easy Pieces" & "Easy Rider".

This is the only reason why we watch this film. Most people usually fast-forward to those scenes.

Yes, that is correct. Also, the HBO series Rome is perfect for that "gotta-have-it" craving of man-meat.

Yeah, I'd like them to re-do Darling from their laserdisc days.

That would be great also because of the amazing soundtrack. Leonard Cohen in lossless sound? Okay!
