Is that from Miami Vice? Watched it again yesterday, the director's cut. I don't know if I like the musical changes during the climax (the "In The Air Tonight" cover). But the film looks fantastic on my brand-new HDTV. . . .
Yeah, I didn't get that far...check out this comparison. HDTV, eh? Does this mean even less time above ground? I wish I could watch The New World on HDTV. Or Children of Men: you gotta go see it.
I got Tokyo Story for Xmas so I can finally say I've seen an Ozu. I'll try to write about it once I get to it. For now, tho, I'm gonna be busy with getting back into school and ignoring the fact that I'm miserable already, missing Allison.
I don't know that I can spend less time above ground . . .
I've an extensive list of things I need to watch now that I've got the dope setup: The New World, Hero, House Of Flying Daggers, Kill Bill, Punch-Drunk Love, Seven Samurai, Playtime, Princess Raccon, The Searchers, Celine And Julie Go Boating (DVD just arrived!) etc etc. Basically everything visually interesting I own.
We're getting Children Of Men in a week, you can be sure I'll be trying to arrange a showing of it.
Did you like Tokyo Story? Was it everything you thought it would be? I really do need to see it again.

He's basically correct about the Director's vs. Theatrical cuts of Miami Vice. Both are very good, but the Theatrical's without a doubt superior.
ReplyDeleteI do still really like the opening shot of the Director's Cut though. But the more I think about it, that's the only change I like.
