I'm surprised that they were even allowed to include the old disc, but it does seem a bit redundant with the Warner UHD known to be on the horizon. It looks like a fantastic package anyway.

I see that Sentai have announced a US release for Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!, which seems like a title that has AL written all over it...fingers crossed anyway

Punk Samurai - Gakuryu Ishii's film is a colorful, ecstatic vision of anarchy on the streets of feudal Japan after our witless samurai accidentally revive a death cult that believes the universe is the inside of a tapeworm. Glorious, riotous cinema. The recent Third Window release is great.

It does seem strange that they haven't released 0080 yet. It has made me wonder if they're trying to do it on UHD since it was the only one of the series restored in 4K, but that feels unlikely.

😬😬😬 Anyway, if you had to genre-fy it, in what world is Attack on Titan a drama rather than action and/or fantasy?

Glad you enjoyed it. I'm not sure it's a case of prioritisation as simply the capabilities of the Indian film industry; it was the most expensive Indian film ever made at the time, but that's still only equates to a budget of $37 million. That's a few million less than the budget for the most...

If you enjoyed RRR, then I'd recommend Rajamouli's previous films Bahubali and Bahubali 2. Unsurprisingly the same style of filmmaking but set in medieval rather than colonial-era India.

I saw an option regarding 'grain removal' and choked on my morning coffee. Please don't. I find anime 'collector's editions' to be pretty poor across the board because I tend to be more invested in either documentary style extras (such as the Miyazaki documentaries that AL have released...

I've watched most of Spielberg's works over the past few months (in prep for The Fabelmans but also seeing John Williams in concert in Milan) and I really think that, as an artist, he is probably one of the most misunderstood in cinema today.His technical abilities as a director were never...

Absolutely. I tried lobbying pretty hard for it at the time the anime was originally released as it would have been a perfect time to re-introduce the films of Shunji Iwai onto the market as I'm pretty sure the only one of his films ever to be given a (long out of print) release here is (the...

Well those were two very easy pre-orders. Gakuryu Ishii is one of the most thriling and consistently interesting filmmakers of the past 40 years. It's great that his work is finally becoming more widely available

BAFTA have been more insular, conservative, and commercial-leaning than even the Oscars. It's disappointing yet again, but it's not surprising that they overlooked Inu-Oh when they have never even nominated a Ghibli film (to contrast, the Oscars have nominated 6, as well as Hosoda's Mirai). I...

That would be very disappointing - there's just so much more from the Sunrise back catalog that I'd love to see released: Zambot 3, Xabungle, Brain Powerd, Daitarn 3, Space Runaway Ideon... while I admit that it's not particularly likely that AL will release them, it's a lot more likely than...

I'm an unabashed lover of Citizen Kane, which was amusingly the subject of maybe the worst mis-reading of a film I've ever seen though it certainly revealed a lot about the, er, critic himself

It was just a general speechlessness at anyone holding up Shrek 2 as a high benchmark as cinema. I mean, it's fine, but it's not Casablanca.

I've never seen it! Definitely willing to buy it and the rest of Third Window's 2023 releases though, they've had a superb couple of years. (I'd recommend listening to the Third Window podcast if anyone is interested in Japanese cinema). I'm particularly looking forward to the Gakuryu (formerly...

Coming from Third Window Films in 2023...

For me, the How to Train Your Dragon trilogy is very easily Dreamworks' best.
