Which Dracula is that?

1931. I haven't watched it before.

Watch it! That's a classic. Although I like Nosferatu and its remake more.

I definitely will and I'll take a look at the remake and Nosferatu sometime too.

Thanks!

Oops, I meant Herzog's remake of Nosferatu, called Nosferatu the Vampyre.

Ah OK, I've heard of it but never looked into it. Thanks.

Be careful with Stanley Kubrick blu-rays. 2001: A Space Odyssey is the only film Kubrick intended to be widescreen, the rest are meant to be full screen, but I find most blu-rays of his movies cut it to make it widescreen. I hate when they do this. Leave it how the director intended! I have to watch movies in their originally intended aspect ratio. You can watch it however you like though, I guess.

It doesn't bother me too much. But I do see were you are coming from.

It's a beautiful digibook though.

^ I believe your blu-ray is the same as my digibook from Germay for the aspect ratio on Blu-ray and it's absolutely fine and dandy. The whole wide screen vs full screen Kubrick 'debate' has been going on for ages, your film experience isn't getting ruined because you are not watching the full screen version of some Kubrick films...


This is one of many interesting websites going on about it:

I seriously need to buy more films. Anybody want to give me some money?

The video is messed up for me. At 27 seconds, it cuts to an upside down picture of you and stays like that for the rest of the video.

Yeah. Just realized that. It's been removed. I've got something new uploading. It's not a great video though. I haven't got time right now to set up my camera and things. Although I will be doing a top 10 video soon.

You should make Blue is the Warmest Color your first Criterion Collection purchase.

The thing is Criterion's are NTSC.
