Quote from: Pubrick on November 07, 2007, 05:41:40 PMthese DVDs are one disappointment after another.
But, seriously, the cinematographers/directors of Bulletproof

Ernest Dickerson was the cinematographer for Do the Right Thing and he also directed episodes of the greatest show on television (The Wire).
But he did direct dean cain and wesley snipes in Future Sport, so i see where you're coming from...

I just watched the first 20 minutes of 2001 on Blu-ray and it really is astounding. It's definitely worth holding off on these like Pubrick says, if you intend on moving to high definition and don't want to tripple/quadruple dip.

The main menu in EWS looks horrible and whats up with The Shining cover art being so out of place, i mean come on consistency is key...also i noticed the FMJ disc has no cool pic while the others do, tisk tisk.

i agree!  i watched it on friday.  i was off.  you guys have to go high def.  there is no excuse now with (at least) hd-dvd players $200.  blu-ray is a wee bit more.  but with easy firmware updates the ps3 is the way to go for blu-ray.  and if you own a 360, just buy the damn cheap ass hd add on.  and hd tvs are very affordable now.  here's a tip if you are buying a hd tv that's 40" or less, than get 720p.  if you go above 40" get 1080p.  it's not that hard to get a best buy/circuit city card and finance the thing.  but yeah, 2001 looks fucking insane!  the detail and sound is phenomenal.  there's nothing more that i can say about the film 2001 except it trades w/ eyes wide shut for being kub's greatest triumph.  i love this film so much.  and i'll report back on eyes wide shut on hd-dvd soon.

HARLAN: I had nothing interesting to offer on "Barry Lyndon."  I have since received a copy of a very interesting conversation between Stanley and Michel Ciment, but it is too late now.

I hope they reconsider an expanded DVD for Barry Lyndon.

I believe Wes Anderson mentioned BL in his Rushmore commentary.

I think it would be very interesting if he and Scorsese filmed a talk about the film (and Kubrick in general) or even if they did a feature length commentary. Van Sant also speaks of Kubrick, so maybe him as well.

Add this to what Pubrick suggested and it would be quite a nice edition.

I'll add my updated impressions in five years when I can afford it.

the same user has also uploaded a bunch of other kubrick docos, including one called "The Last Movie".



except it doesn't have anything to do with EWS, and i'm not convinced it's the one from the extras, and it seems incomplete at the end of part 3.

still, bless this dude.

It's been reedited. The Emilio stuff has been taken out of the DVD version. The user said that the last 25 minutes were "swiped."

I've enjoyed watching the films (some I had only seen once previously) and then reading the corresponding sections in the SK Archives book.

One thing that stood out was one pic from EWS that includes something you don't see in the widescreen version...think cadaver... :ponder:

They have the box set at Sam's now - and even the Scorsese box with Mean Streets.
