There is another thread on the forum about a Criterion Edition which would be a super special edition. That topic was about writing to Criterion to lobby them to release a special edition of LIT.

The movie came out today but I can't see it until next week. In the meantime reading some reviews, Roger Ebert who may have liked it more than other critics, said a couple interesting things about it that I quote here: What's interesting is the way the director, Justin Lin, surrounds his gaijin with...

I loved The Island! :shock:

Just saw X-Men 3. It was sad, not great, but reasonably good.

I think it was just to add a diffused feeling relating to the atmosphere in the bar. If memory serves, its even described in the script that the music was playing and the atmosphere was "sparkling" as they looked at each other.

Watched it again Saturday afternoon for the umpteenth time.
Yes its not the same as the first or second time but there are still parts
that move me when they occur. Also I look at other things in the
frame and see more things I didn't notice as much before.

Maybe it was blurry because they were pressed for time and the light was dim and they werent using external lighting so the camera just got out of focus for a few seconds or something and they just decided to leave it that way. :shock:

I saw the trailer in the theater this past weekend and I have to say it
looks like the usual cliche'd dumb story that's been done a million
