I've wanted to see this one again since I saw it at the TIFF last summer. TLA's releasing the DVD next month... 
Fans of City of God, Palace II, City of Men should check this out.... Like Reality TV meets City of God...also, the City of Men movie (which sadly is being billed as City of God sequal) is coming limited to theatres Jan, although you can get the DVD already if you know what you're doingPut me on to some DVD's to keep my eye out for

Adam West does Batman's voice on one of the better "SuperFriends" extensions.
Plus Cyborg joins.
I wrote to Warner and asked them to release the Superman Aquaman Hour in full. So they left the accompanying Superman stories out of both this and their Superman release from earlier this year.
Add the fact that they left out the guest star segments originally in the show (Teen Titans, Justice League, Atom, Hawkman, Flash, Green Lantern), and I'm very disappointed. However, all36 Aquaman stories are here to enjoy, and they are among Filmation Studios' best work.
Let's keep nagging Warner to plug the gaps
Im coppin both tonight.
I tried to hype this a while ago

but I guess it wasn't that widely distributed at the time. With a DVD release, hopefully more people will get to see it.
I need to get this from you!
I hear you on that one. I remember seeing this thing at 9am with 12 other people. 12. That's it. It's sad because BORAT had it's premiere the same week and there were 500+ people in a line to try to get into that ish (even though it opened a week later in mainstream theatres) as well as Babel's North American premiere, yet 12 people showed up to Ghosts. I actually asked the director after the show if he'd license a limited DVD release to me and he laughed at me
Finally they've gone and done this up proper... all episodes with the pilot (minus the dissapointing Fire Walk with Me) with participation from the man himself... loaded with features and even a recipe for that killer cherry pie... damn!
Grabbed that Jodorowsky Box Set that Anchor Bay released in the summer and am just getting into the bulk of it... Great job on some great films and even including the OST's for El Topo and Holy Mountain... now all they need to do is release a legit verision of Santa Sangre.....
City of God 2 though?? Hmmm.... Anybody watch the accompanying doc on the COG DVD by the co-director???
Ya, I need to buy that Twin Peaks boxset for real. One of my favorite series along with Carnivale. In terms of COG, there is no way they should bill it like that. City of Men was an alright series for about 1 and 1/2 seasons, but season 3 and 4 were just terrible. I didn't even want to finish the series at one point. I guess the movie is based on a riff between those two characters. It's funny because when dood played Little Z in COG I thought he was raw, but after City of Men his whole image has flipped
btw... anybody hear of a release date for "My Blueberry Nights"? Anyone manage to see this yet??
I've heard soooooo many great things about this series, I think it's bout time to finally check it out.... just finished all The Wire's on dvd and was thinkin bout starting up Deadwood seeing as it's been the focus of the water cooler talk at my work for some time.... but that may have to wait now... is it just 2 seasons??
Both are great - though I couldn't get past the third episiode of Deadwood's last season, it was so boring and stagnant...the characters just seemd like cartoon characters. Deadwood has three seasons, but it may as well be two.
The first season of Carnivale is one of the best things I've ever seen - dusty, sexy, beautifully shot, creepy, great story-telling and unique characters. It got cancelled, so the second season felt rushed and lacked a lot of the mystery that made the first season so great.
Both are well-worth seeing.
Nov. 13 on Criterion: (all 941 mins of it)
also Nov. 13, on New Yorker/Milestone:
had a soft spot for this one since childhood (2-disc set Nov 6):
... and I'm thinking this'll make a classy holiday present for my pops (Nov 13 on Kino):
what do you mean
i have only heard great things
It is a very great movie, but in a quiet, slice-of-life way. I think some people get overhyped and expect something different than what it is.
Copped during Lunch
It'll also be nice to finally have Scarlett Street on DVD, although not my favorite Lang noir.... surprised nobody's done Ministry of Fear or Woman in the Window....
Edward G Robinson was
you're in luck, Woman in the Window came out a few months back:

Dunno how I missed that.... Thx!
Was about to place an order with Amazon to take advantage of the dollar... guess that'll be sliding in there...
btw... seeing as you seem to be so up-to-date... you hear anything about a North American release for "My Blueberry Nights" yet?
I'm fairly sure no date on My Blueberry Nights yet...
btw, I use Amazon for release-date purposes only -- have you tried Deepdiscountdvd.com? From time to time I'll find some amazing prices there...
I haven't.... but now I will....
Seeing as this just came out on Tuesday...

Eh, I haven't been impressed with DDD's sales (excluding the biannual store-wide 20% one) and general prices in the past year like I used to be. Places like Amazon and Costco have stepped up their sale game big time. These days, I just use DDD once or twice a year during that 20% sale for items that I know won't go into sale price anytime soon.
(Like, you know that Criterion has a mega sale once or twice a year on its own, Warner Bros. discounts all their box sets roughly 6 months after release, A&E does firehouse sales regularly, etc.)
For those unaware, definitely check out
