After not having the heart to watch his stuff for so many post-scandal years, I recently rented everything I missed.
The only bright light in the bunch, far as I was concerned, was Deconstructing Harry, which I highly recommend.
Match Point, which was the first Woody film I saw in theaters in decades, was also excellent - imo. But I have no desire to his new one, strongly rumored to be a stinker.
mousepod, thanks for that disturbing link to the Star Wars original crawl discussion. I'll finish reading it later today, but I think my decision to buy the new DVDs is finished.
What is it about 1977 scifi/fantasy films? Star Wars and Close Encounters have been altered from the versions that became megafamous ... and the versions that claim to be restorations are stinking bloody LIES.
Read my forehead - BAH
