Universal will release one of Steven Spielberg's best, if little-seen, dramas, The Sugarland Express. Sugarland will get the 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen treatment and two new featurettes, plus trailers. Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 surround tracks. Retail is $19.95.

About fucking time. Widescreen is the only way to watch this one. Some of the best widescreen compositions I've ever seen.

You bloody well should, it's fantastic! I think it's his best film.

Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

That Benfica won? don't worry about it. These silly benfica kids have to win at least one thing in their lifetime.

Oh.... why did you have to remember me of that?  :?  They were lucky... fuck... that match made me sick... it reminded me of when I watched Amistad (not to go very off-topic :roll: )

Does anybody think that Spielberg sided with Lou Jean?  His treatment of her and Clovis is very sympathetic, but I question whether or not part of the power of the film derives from the unsettling impression that she is the heroine of the film, rather than the crazy lady who is screwing everything up. 

*SPOILER* 

The title card at the end of the film saying that Lou Jean eventually got her kid back was chilling.  If Spielberg intended that to be a happy ending, that's disturbing.  However, if he intended it as a sober coda to the film, it still works.  I just haven't decided which way the film leans.
Please don't correct me. It makes me sick.
