Risky Business seems like a really weird pick for them but I guess since studios aren't bothering to put out discs anymore they may as well

Erin M. Fiasco posted:Movie Madness was such a huge highlight of my recent trip to Portland. I got to see the soap from Fight Club and a real prop from Citizen Kane! They had a DVD copy of Interstella 5555 and I convinced my friend who was local to the area to rent Baby Assassins! I even dropped a suggestion in their box for the Customer Suggestions shelf for Wild Zero. I wish I lived there so I'd have an excuse to constantly check stuff out. i get three free rentals a day and go...every single day. i would never admit to anything illegal, but send me a PM if you need a less than physical copy of anything

We're talking about a movie that is now 40+ years old.

I think it's cool when Criterion does stuff that's a little more mainstream but has stayed in the public consciousness for as long as something like Risky Business has. Some of my big wishes of theirs are like that, and Bound's 4K being released under them makes me super happy. Le Samourai 4K getting the Oppenheimer/Dial of Destiny pose as the front cover is hilarious. My friend is super happy about Perfect Days so I guess I should watch it.

I'm not overly fussy about what Criterion puts out, it just seems like WB shouldn't have any problem putting this one out of their own and wouldn't need to reach out to a boutique arthouse label, even the biggest one

Perfect Days is so perfect as a gentle mood piece. It hit a lot of the same notes that an Ozu or Kore-eda film would. Goddamn that thing has vibes. Tokyo also has amazing public bathrooms?

I dont know for certain but it sounded like these are kinda special art pieces commissioned by the city and Wim Wenders happened to know the artist and that's where he got the idea. I dont know that all public bathrooms are like those in the film, but they apparently do have plenty of public bathrooms that are well maintained.

I just recently moved but when we were looking for our new place, we knew that if we could get close enough to MM we'd up the membership and cancel a bunch of streaming services.

I think it's a solid choice for Criterion. Cruise is for all intents and purposes the last movie star and that was the movie that made him a star.

My Harryhausens from Indicator came in. Because of the amount of work involved in his animation, Harryhausen didn't work on as many feature films as you might expect. So I'm actually not far off from a complete Harryhausen set, and I guess it's now become a bit of an unofficial goal. I still need: Mighty Joe Young It Came From Beneath the Sea Earth vs. Flying Saucers 3 Worlds of Gulliver First Men on the Moon One Million Years B.C. The Valley of the Gwangi A fairly realistic collecting goal I'd say. Gotta prioritize Mighty Joe Young, 3 Worlds of Gulliver, and The Valley of the Gwangi, those feel like the most significant of his films that I'm missing.

Gosling's movie star qualifications will be tested in a few weeks when that movie he did with Emily Blunt comes out. A real movie star would have enough bankability left over from Barbie to carry it over to whatever the next movie is.

I mean, we'll see. The monoculture feels pretty much dead at this point, I'm not sure if it's even possible to be a "real movie star" anymore.

I can’t remember if I got tracking or not last time I ordered. I ordered on the 8th as well, I guess I just got lucky. Or maybe the Harryhausens aren't as in demand as some of their other releases?

Near Dark has a killer Tangerine Dream soundtrack as well. My favorite TD soundtrack is Firestarter. It's nonstop 80s synth goodness from beginning to end.

I joked to some friends about watching every Tom Cruise movie and then went ahead and did that last year, which is the first time I saw Risky Business. I can't really say I enjoyed it. Even while trying to think about it as a product of its time (1983), it was hard for me to imagine high school seniors turning their parents homes into brothels so they can get all their (underage) friends to pay prostitutes for sex as being some "boys being boys" behavior. (I realize this is pretty tame compared to some of the poo poo people in this thread collect.) The raunchy teen comedy was never a genre of movies I liked though so maybe it's just me.

Is Perfect Days worth picking up if I just really like Koji Yakusho? He’s been fantastic in everything I’ve seen, but those have also all been Kiyoshi Kurosawa movies.

They elevate movies like no one else. Also I’m stoked for Risky Business really cool critique of Reagan’s 80’s, and you totally understand why Cruise became the star he did. It’s funny because Cocktail feels like a very similar movie to risky business but it plays the whole capitalist angle very straight and with no irony. Also Risky Business actually has one of the best sex scenes in movie history imo. The_Rob fucked around with this message at 00:29 on Apr 16, 2024 |

I wish the Criterion edition came with the original ending to Risky Business. That ending makes the critique about capitalism and wealth way more obvious.

Warner put out Mighty Joe Young a while ago, plus Warner Archive did Valley of the Gwangi. There was a rumor Indicator was going to do a big box of the complete Harryhausen films with the participation of his estate, but I wonder if that fell through.
