met up with sis and went on ill-advised HMV cultural shopping trip. this was all they had in the 'deals' section i wanted. the only one i've not seen before is 'la Vie en Rose', but i love Edith Piaf so hopefully that won't be certifed Oscar-bait garbage. the others:
Che: Part One. Steve Soderbergh directs. 'tis a bit meticulous and would best be viewed either by those who want to learn what all the fuss is about with this Cuban revolution silliness OR those disillusioned by the commodification of the icon, appropriation by morons etc The Changeling. Jolie looks like shit, but it's the first Clint film since Unforgiven that didn't make me want to gag by the end. Well it did... but with agogment. Yes it's a word now Låt den rätte komma in. Still my favourite film of whenever-it-came-out. Very touching and Lina Leandersson is beguiling and perfectly cast. One of those delightful one-offs, but watch out, the Amurrikin remake is COMING TO AN ENTERTAINMENT CENTRE NEAR YOU |

^La vie en rose might be my favourite biography depiction of a dead artist. It's a perfect film, and you don't get disappointed at the end, when you find out that most of the movie was part of the writer's imagination.

^ Season 2 sucked, but has some great episodes in the beginning and at the end (cause Lynch was still in the writing team).
So some DVDs I've bought some weeks ago, but hadn't got the time to post in here: Loved that movie. Watched it last week, powerful, yet not sobbingly cliché. I've been searching for this movie for more than 2 years now. I never was able to find it, even in a rental movie shop. A must of course: Completing my Kubrick collection: other DVDs would be: _Bubble _American Graffiti _Sweet and Lowdown _Basketball diaries _Blade Runner _Les 400 coups _Gilda _I'm not there _Anna Christie All original!

Almost as bad as Carnivale in the respect of ambiguous endings, though. (It's an amazing show--one of the best things I've ever seen on TV--that was meant to have 6 seasons but only lasted two and most certainly does not end properly.)

The whole problem was with the shows irregular showings, during the Gulf war I think. Nobody knew when was the show running, so they just assumed it was still as ****ty as it was in middle of the second season. The special features in the box-set discuss all this period's problems, if you never got it.

True, Lynch directed it but (after a check) Frost co-wrote it. I dunno, I always get the urge to defend his contributions to the show cos they seem to get eclipsed by Lynch, since he tends to be the more highly regarded of the pair.
I dunno about the resolving of the mystery; creatively it doesn't make any sense to push into it, but I guess I can understand why it would make executives/marketers nervous. It's interesting to think about how much we take longform/serial television for granted at this point (see for reference: Lost), but back then wasn't it a lot less common outside of soap operas? Add that to stuff like the irregular airings and stuff and you can see why/how too many people got lost in the extended plot. I guess pushing for the resolution was pushing for a more episodic/stand-alone structure, even though it didn't really work out that way. I have the box but I haven't really combed through a lot of the extras. I watched the whole series in less than a week and kinda got burned out on it and I haven't reinvestigated it yet.

I think the last disc of the box-set is a must really. I also watched the whole series in less than a week, and this disc was the only way I was able to get some kind of closure. The characters created in Twin Peaks were the most original I've ever seen, which made me ask for more at every time.
