So…I had every intention of putting up a Foreign Region DVD Report at The Auteurs’ Notebook today. Brought the intended foreign-region DVD with me on my holiday trip; I’d have to rewatch it on my Mac Book, but hell, that’s good enough for…never mind. But then I got to thinking, here’s a picture that requires some context/textual support/something of that sort, and I’m far, far from my film library just now. So maybe the FRDR gets a break this week. But at least I could run a screen grab from the picture so you all could guess what it might be. And I went upstairs and got the DVD case and opened it and realized I’d left the actual disc in the player back home. So, so much for that idea. In the stead of anything else, I leave you with a beautiful still of one of the film’s co-stars. Happy Tuesday, y’all! And by all means check out The Auteurs’ unique year-end survey, in which its brilliant contributors go the year’s-best thing one further and concoct fantasy double features out of 2009 films and older ones. Part One is here, I’m not in it, but I’ll be in an upcoming installment.
This is why, whenever I watch anything, I always leave the empty case open, butterfly-style, next to the player. Won’t get fooled again.
Wild guess – is the film in question BOOM!?
Why, yes. There’s a good-looking new Region 2 disc of it out. Fascinating film…
Guess it not always right.
