Whatever happened to the Marty box set that was supposed to come out? I've been on the lookout with no luck.

In the most recent New York Times Review of Books, Richard Schickel reviewed a biography of Sidney Poitier.  In the "about the reviewer" mini-bio, it stated that Schickel is working on a film about Martin Scorsese.  Since Schickel put together the Charlie Chaplin DVD box set, this leads me to believe he is performing the same duty for a Scorsese box set.  If the foregoing is true, then it is reasonable to surmise that SE's of Mean Streets, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, After Hours and GoodFellas are headed down the pipeline, perhaps in time to coincide with the theatrical premiere of The Aviator.
Music is your best entertainment value.

Release Date: August 17th

(From Another post)

From what I gather, Warners has a habit of sometimes releasing promo DVD art designed to look like keepcases, even though the eventual release will still be a snapper. Rest assured that unless a title is a 2-disc or more affair, it will be in a snapper. GoodFellas will probably in the usual Warner 2-disc slipcase/digipak packaging.

Ah.


Ahhhhhhh.

It feels good.
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

That's a Universal Studios release. Not Warner Bros.

How Pretty....I'll definitely be getting the Goodfellas SE, Mean Streets SE, and the After hours DVD....I haven't seen the other two, are "Alice Doesn't Live here Anymore" and "Who's That Knocking At My Door" worth it?

if it's $60 for the boxset, might as well get all of it.
