Masters of Cinema Metropolis shirt stuff: "These will be available in 4 sizes - S, M, L, XL. If you have already ordered your Steelbook you will receive an email shortly detailing how you can request your T-Shirt size, otherwise you will be presented with the option upon ordering." Update: according to this post they will pricematch HMV's Metropolis steelbook price down to £17.99 if you ask them to remove the shirt from the order. That's $27.65 if you were wondering.

Awesome, got the email. I couldn't care less about the steelbook, I ordered it because of the shirt, so I'll stick with my $40 purchase  Just found out this is coming to the UK this month:  Sweeeeeeet.

I don't think they're charging extra shipping for us Yanks, so I'd feel dickish for price matching over a shirt. (XL  )

The White Ribbon was my favorite film of last year (or in a dead heat with Inglourious Basterds), but it's probably not for everybody. Very slow, austere and mysterious. It's so hard for me to resist buying it in tandem with something else (probably North by Northwest) because it's hard to find it for less than $30, but I don't have the money and I need to save for all the cool poo poo coming out in October/November. (Not to mention The Thin Red Line in a few weeks.)

Cache is my favourite of his. my own bluray collection is reachin approx 90 titles at the moment.. this sale just seems too good to pass up! i'm thinkin some more Wong Kar Wai films as i've only watched Chungking..? perhaps A Prophet which I saw at a film festival not too long ago.. great film but not sure if i'd really watch it again friendo55 fucked around with this message at 23:16 on Sep 2, 2010 |

High-res packaging porn: friendo55 posted:going through the DD sale lists... i'm just curious what you guys have purchased? or maybe recommendations of films you already own coming out of this sale? The General, Potemkin, and Steamboat Bill Jr. are all essentials. Excellent remasters, great movies, and the music scores are not just appropriate, but amazingly well recorded. How the West Was Won, A Passage to India, Bonnie and Clyde, Easy Rider, and North by Northwest are not only great movies, but the BluRays are flawless. Keep in mind Easy Rider is in Criterion's "New Hollywood" box set, though. Egbert Souse fucked around with this message at 03:41 on Sep 3, 2010 |

Was it only on the directors cut or whatever came later? Do we know if the regular copy of Inception will have Maximum Movie Mode, or is it just the special box set?

I am 99.9999999% positive that the maximum movie mode will be on all regular copies of the Blu-Ray.

I think I like it just a bit less than Chungking Express but the two pretty much go hand in hand. Happy Together I might have liked even just a bit more than Chungking Express. Really, if you enjoyed that one there's no reason not to pick these two up at that price.

MoC's Metropolis is confirmed Region B.  Also, The Digital Bits says Fantasia will still have the edited Pastoral segment, but it'll "more seamless" than the old versions. I'm guessing they're digitally re-touching it. Still, not even an option to watch the original version.

If you play your cards right you can get a region free player for around $100, possibly less. I'm not saying you should do it just to be able to play Metropolis, but there are so many wonderful region-locked imports that make it a very worthwhile investment.

I'm going to need a region-free player at some point, do you have any good reccos? All I know about is Oppo and Momitsu and even then I only know the brand names and not the specifics.

There is a Sherwood model for $140 on Amazon. Looks good. Although, are there ways to modify a computer to all-region? My Vaio has a BRD drive, plus full 1080p HDMI output.

AnyDVD HD does the job too by manipulating the disc contents on-the-fly, but that's not its main strength and if you just need to be able handle multiple regions it's probably not worth it.

Nice suite of extras too. Hopefully BFI will release more Greenaway (and region-free) because it doesn't look like anyone on this side of the pond is going to. And yes, there are tits. And bush.
