Say “what” again. Say “what” again! I dare you! I double-dare you, motherfucker! Say “what” one more goddamn time!

It turns out that we’re being short-changed in the UK, and the forthcoming DVD and Blu-ray releases of Watchmen will contain the theatrical release only, and not the extended director’s cut being release in the US.

Consequently I’ve just cancelled my pre-order for the Blu-ray, and all being well the US release won’t be region coded.

Another new film for me, with a very young looking Jack Nicholson, and a rather less young looking Burt Young.

Cock it!

Engage-ing

May the fourth be with you.

I’m following the first rule.

The “partner” film to Flags of our Fathers, portraying the Battle of Iwo Jima from the Japanese perspective.

I must confess that I’m not the greatest fan of Studio Ghibli films although Al and Dan love them. This is the first of three on the list, and the only one I’ve seen before.

This used to be a favourite of mine, but this is the first time I’ve seen it for at least 10 years or so and it’s still as good as ever.
