All right, I'l bite:
I'm delighted and surprised to see IN A LONELY PLACE and BARRY LYNDON
included. But there are a few glaring omissions, and my feeling is that
the boys just didn't want to step on previous choices that, by now, are
too obvious for words (it's the only excuse I can come up with

Not two hours left, but ending soon-- a mint half sheet of George Arliss' The Iron Duke (1934), never folded -- and the German R'66 A1 of Lolita on linen with alternate art that must be seen. Stunning.
And OT - for the MOPO art collector, I have an original George Morland painting, the great 18th
Hi, all, from Joe Bonelli.
I agree with both Glenn and Channing here. My friend just got a Sony 960 Hi-
Def 34" screen tv and we saw a few of the opening minutes of The Aviator. It
looked stunning -- as it did in the theatre.
Best,
Joe

Yes! That was exactly what Scorcese was trying to do.
Evoking two strip techincolor was, I thought, rather ingenius.

The color design in THE AVIATOR was highly stylized. There was a
tremendous emphasis on color which was really apparent in the blues and
the greens. This was especially true in the flying scenes. I think
the DP was trying to avoid the traditional sepia look that Hollywood
uses nowadays when fil
I just received and watched the DVD release of the Aviator. I did not
see the film in the theatre so I must ask some of you about the color
tone of the film. On my DVD it seemed to have been filmed in a strange
color format with many scenes appearing with a somewhat aqua cast and
others appear n
My main curiosity about this last film is how effective Lucas has managed
to mute the inevitable tragedy that he built in to it when he created the
first film. Does he cop out and show Anakin's going over to the dark side
as some kind of noble mistake or does he play it straight and depict it as

I find it pretty funny to see so many critics in the media focusing on the
"bad acting" in the latest STAR WARS film... I mean, good acting was never a
hallmark of *any* STAR WARS film, just as it was never a significant factor in
the FLASH GORDON serials that inspired Lucas in the first plac
Once you start this, there's just no end. No "M"? No "Floating
Weeds"? No "Battleship Potemkin"? Anyone notice how _white_ this
list is? "Miller's Crossing" but not "Do the Right Thing"? A very
poor game here

It's so subjective and silly to try and come up with a list of 100 greatest
films. I was looking at the top 100 films the AFI put out and the 400 nominated.
I still think "Ordinary People" should be included in the top 100. It's just
silly to attempt this.

These kinds of lists are ridiculous on their face, anyway. I suspect
that they
were trying to put their own stamp on the list. There are some
wonderful films on this list and some idiosyncratic choices.

So glad you agree. I can't wait to see what else Christiansen does. Hopefully now with the Sith money, he can make daring choices.
