Giallo Essentials Volume 3 (Black Edition) - July 26, 2022

[Batgirl911]

Kat Ellingers appearances in these Arrow releases are as predictable and as wearisome as the latest covid variant. I just sampled her commentary for Torso and gave up in 10 minutes. She immediately starts moaning that Martino is treated unfairly by critics but wont look at the movie and point out why. She whines that Martino shouldn't be compered to Argento but keeps mentioning Argento. I'm heard enough of her to know that she will not stop repeating herself and will not stop name checking other directors and movies long enough look at the movie that is playing. Here she is again but I've had it.

I like her booklet essays, but I've never lasted a full commentary from her.

I'm really looking forward to this set! I am slowly acquiring all of Arrow's previous giallo releases (a shipment of gialli from a recent Unobstructed View sale should be here today or tomorrow). I'm halfway through Troy Howarth's So Deadly, So Perverse vol. 1, so I'm ready to dive into more gialli!

Yeah, her commentaries are terrible. I liked her podcast. She's smart, but her commentaries really don't tend to pay attention to anything that's going on on the screen. She's definitely not alone in that problem, she's just hired a lot.

Sometimes a video talk is better than a commentary. Tony Rayns, for instance, will sometimes do an on-target 40min essay, rather than fumble through a 100min film.

Yeah. I think that's more her strength. SHe was good at that on her podcast, and her interviews on some older discs were always fine.
