I HAVE BEEN BOURNE AGAIN!

I purchased the Bourne Identity and the Bourne Supremacy on DVD at Best Buy. The orignal rocked and had me on the edge of my seat when I saw it in the theater. The second installment of the Bourne trilogy was good at times but dumb at others. It seems thrown together/film school grad kind of lame in some of it. Slick when it should have been tense and jarring.

STAGE DOOR [1937]

I just ordered the Gregory La Cava comedy Stage Door on DVD. Katherine Hepburn is in it and it is was a 1937 Best Picture and Best Director nominee. A classic of the studio era at its best. Stage Door on Amazon.

The Mickey Rooney & Judy Garland Collection IN SEPTEMBER.

I'm getting this set in September. I thought Babes In Arms was wonderful when I first saw it. Since I'm running out of things to buy on dvd I'm not being that choosy this year. I am going to be getting more comedy in 2008 [ Blues Brothers, Animal House, Theres Something About Mary, American Graffiti, and maybe Dazed & Confused + a few more titles].

The Mickey Rooney Robert Osborne TCM show is on the bonus disc. Thats going to be great to watch. Rooney also gives intros to the movies in the set. Nice.

BLADE RUNNER DVD IN .DECEMBER.

Here is a link to the discussion of it on the HTF. I'm probably going to get the 4 disc set unless the 5 disc set with the famous "work print" does not cost above $50 U.S.

I'm hoping the image and sound are all that we BR fans have hoped for. They certainly will have plenty of versions [3+ a possible work print on the disc 5] to love or hate. Which one is the definitive Blade Runner? We will know in October or maybe September. Let the debate begin.

In anticipation of the release of the movie I'm going to be ordering and reading Future Noir: The Making Of Blade Runner. I will then be ready to for the replicants and replicant hunters.

There is also a forum I found relating to Blade Runner. Enjoy.

Thanks for the Vidor book!!!

I am getting a book of interviews on King Vidor in the mail. A prominent movie preservationist [can't reveal which one due to privacy concerns] is sending me a copy of it. I hope its more than a pamphlet. Its was reported to be worth $50 and I'm getting a copy for $14.
