Don Jon bugged me, I really wanted to like it but in the end I couldn't. I don't think they meant it this way, but the message I got from it was "Bitches make you give up the things you love, true love makes you do it voluntarily". And of all things to let come between you and Scarlett Jerseyhansen, internet porn? Come on, at least make it about something important, like your bitchin' Chevelle.

I haven't seen it, but the write ups of it I've read make it sound like a movie about internet porn addiction by someone who has no idea what internet porn or addiction are. Confirm/deny?

The flick's not about addiction. He watches a lot of porn, and in a way that's kinda unhealthy, but addiction is too strong a word. I do think the way the film ends is a little problematic in the way Dobler suggests, but it didn't ruin the film for me.

Don Jon is about two immature people with unrealistic expectations trying to be in a relationship. The difference is that one of them grows up and the other doesn't. But it's easy to see how the film might come off as sexist.

Is the Remastered Man With No Name Trilogy worth a double dip? I recall somewhere in the thread that they hosed up the color grading or something.

Robert Altman's The Long Goodbye confirmed as upcoming through Kino. The Arrow Blu is supposed to be excellent, so this should be quite good. Also, Out of the Past (1947 noir starring Kirk Douglas and Robert Mitchum) coming soon from Warner Archive. Ghost in the Shell coming Sept. 23 from Anchor Bay. Fritz Lang's Hangmen Also Die! coming from Cohen Media on Sept 9. Los Angeles Plays Itself has escaped copyright purgatory and will be released on Sept. 30 by Cinema Guild.

Minimal changes (small amount of frames from two distinct scenes, amounting to about 3-4 seconds), but yes they are technically correct (the best kind of correct). The uncensored version was presented theatrically in the UK and Germany, so BDs from those territories should be uncensored (though most likely region locked). I saw a forum user confirm that the Canadian BD was also uncensored. While most US and Canadian BDs are identical, some titles truly do have different rights holders and thus different home video releases, and this seems like one of those cases. Alliance/Momentum hold the rights in both the UK and Canada, so it makes sense that the Canadian release would be uncensored (it was uncensored theatrically there as well from my understanding).

Red posted:Should I just go ahead and buy the Mononoke import BD, or ... wait in vain? So I bought the Mononoke import from a Hong Kong seller for around $40 (using points/gift card/etc.), and when I received it, got something much different than the green snap case from Japan. My copy is a standard blue case with no slipcover or anything. Oddly enough, Amazon points out this item is 'Under Review': http://www.amazon.com/Princess-Mononoke-Blu-ray/dp/B00IUOCE0C/ What the gently caress?

Yeah YesAsia has it up for $70, if you're not paying around that it's gonna be a bootleg or non-JP version at best. Especially if they're based in HK.

Unless it's changed recently another way to check is the audio because I'm pretty sure the HK ones didn't have english audio tracks.

This could just be me being optimistic, but I don't think they'd bother trying to reissue Star Wars on blu-ray for a third or forth time without there being some kind of hook (like being the versions the fans have been complaining about for over a decade).
