I am pretty happy with the choices. Sure, it is just a little, but inch by inch we are getting a good amount of classics on Blu.

There were excellent items in each schedule, but Swithin gets my vote for having the most themes I liked in one schedule, starting right off the bat with the salute to Grand Central Terminal.

If anyone is around a day early, you might enjoy a trip to Downtown L.A. and stop in at the Fashion Institute of Design & Marketing. Through April 27th, they are running their annual Art of Motion Picture Costume Design exhibit.

"Laura" can be had on Blu-ray at Costco for $9.99. Not all Costcos seem to have it, and at the Loz Feliz/Glendale warehouse they had only two when I got there. I left the remaining one at the front of the group of Blus there so someone can find it easily. They also still had some of the Hitchcock Blus.

OTW was included. I've read of some who have already ordered it. As you surmised, it is probably out of stock now, and as I mentioned below, the item must be in stock, which excludes future releases.

Criterion.com has a 50% off one-day sale on titles that are in stock. Sale ends at noon EST on 2/27. Use code word: FLASHY
The shipping is high unless you spend over $50, which makes it free.

Sigh, I don't think I am going to bother listing any comments here because a quick glance shows the usual complainers complaining. But I did want to pass on this really brilliant short that was nominated. Only takes a minute and 46 seconds to view.

There is a 1981 TV-movie worth catching that shows the Canadian effort. "Escape from Iran: The Canadian Caper."

I plan on watching it Wednesday. I spent the summer of '67 in Iran, working in an oilfield supply yard on the Persian Gulf, near Bushehr. I spent my off-time in Tehran, and went to a pool party at the US Embassy.

I was a Canadian at the time that our embassy took in the Americans and helped get them out. I felt very proud to be a Canadian. One guy in the States said that if any Canadians were ever in his neck of the woods, they would never be able to pay for a beer.

Your comment is kind of nasty. But it's par for the course, so I am not surprised.

For today only, just a slight variation on movie star comics. I found this piece in an old Mad mag and thought it was funny in that is correct.
