It seems OK to me

These new boards are so big and luxurious that you can have bigass avatars. It doesn't matter anymore.

Yeah, just make sure it's amazon.com, not ca. You'll probably have to pay some hefty shipping charges but I guess it's worth it.

EDIT - they actually do have it on amazon.ca. My bad.  :oops:

I've been watching a lot of Godard the past two weeks.  Vivre Sa Vie (My Life To Live) is available on DVD, and is one of Godard's best films.  It has a very austere, distanced feel, and the compositions are meticulously done (which shows that Godard wasn't merely a shoot-it-on-the-fly cinema verite director).  Petit Soldat is worth looking at, too, merely for the quick cutting.  Le Mepris was good, not as good as some of the others.  I haven't seen Band A Part in a long time, so I'll have to buy it soon.  I think Godard's best films are Breathless, A Married Woman, Alphaville, Weekend, and Vivre Sa Vie.  He did 15 films between 1960 and 1967.  He continues to make films his way, with no regard for the marketplace or for trends.  He's never sold out, unlike a lot of directors.

Fuck yeah I own that sweet freaking movie. The DVD is pretty cool. If you've seen one Fox Lorber DVD, you've pretty much seen them all. I'm not really an expert with transfers but this one seems pretty nice. The sounds seems nice. Everything is nice, the movie fucking rocks.

I got Band of Outsiders too. What a cool movie, what a freaking weird, cool movie.
