THE YAKUZA. I've not yet seen it, but based on Loomis' overflowing praise, I hope I enjoy it.

[Loomis]

Delighted you're taking the YAKUZA challenge, Harms. I'm confident that you'll enjoy it tremendously, for various reasons and on various levels, and indeed I suspect that it may become a firm favourite. It's a film I'd be more than happy to purchase again, in the rather unlikely event that it ever makes it to Blu-ray.

(Be sure to listen to Sydney Pollack's commentary as well. It's pretty good and informative stuff.)

Watchmen - ok, definitely a love it or hate it movie. I happen to think that a lot of the themes from the graphic novel are relevant even today, so that's why I'm a fan.

[DamnCoffee]

Ah, Watchmen. I thought it was terrible, and highly confusing. One of my friends told me to read the graphic novel then watch it. I shouldn't have to. I should be able to go and watch a movie and completely understand it. Without having to read the whole thing.

I commend you for adding this underrated classic to your collection. No man who considers himself to be critically well-dressed should be without it.

I'm excited to have ordered Season 1 of The Equalizer. Especially so since no one here could verify the exact wording of McCall's ad.

Tru dat. In this case you really didn't have to. The film followed the novel by the page with the exception of the ending.

My next purchase will be Avatar, but I'm waiting for the version with special features...

Interesting bits of trivia here, if there's any truth to 'em:

Lee Marvin was scheduled to star in The Yakuza with Robert Aldrich to direct. When Mitchum replaced Marvin, Mitchum forced out Aldrich. Replacement director Pollack briefly considered Robert Redford for the lead role.

Lee Marvin's the only actor I could have accepted in Mitchum's stead.

I caught the first half of it at my girlfriends house. I was too tired to watch the 2nd half. I really enjoyed it though, and it was on a 3 for £10 offer, so..

Burn Notice Season 3. A bit of a disappointment. No Blu-ray version available - only DVD. No real worthy extras - not even the obligatory gag reel. Even the back cover doesn't look good. I've seen better fan made covers. Not sure if this was just poor planning, not caring, or they are planning the double dip down the road.

Just purchased Thunderball for £6.99 on Amazon, might get DN & LALD but that's it, will only be getting OHMSS, SWLM and the Dalton's on Blu ray, the others can stay on U.E standard def.

I'm looking forward to seeing TB as so many have said how good this looks in HD.

[DamnCoffee]

Oh, you'll enjoy it. Thunderball looks amazing on Blu Ray!

As for me...

Butterfly on a Wheel. I'm really in a Brosnan mood.

"FLASH GORDON" (1980) on Blu-ray.

This marks the fourth time I have bought this nostalgic favorite of mine. The bare bones DVD, the UK Silver Anniversary Edition DVD (with the wonderful Brian Blessed commemntary) and the Savior of the Universe Edition three years ago.

Great season. I just finished watching Day 2 today, one of the strongest seasons, personally. That's what I love about 24, every season is just so solid. In my eyes, there isn't a bad one.
