Posting may be slow this week as I've been given a writing assignment by Nathan C. This one is a ton of fun, but it's going to take a while. No worries. When I'm done, I'll share it here one way or another.
To cut to the chase, I'm getting to review a really nice BluRay set starring this fellow:
Turns out the set includes multiple cuts of the movie and varying audio tracks, including film historian commentary. So, what should have been about a 2-hour viewing is now stretching into something like 8 hours. Plus, however long it takes to write about all this at some point.
Anyway, I look forward to sharing, but I'm doing a little legwork at the moment. Fortunately, it's all around a movie I already like quite a bit and topics around which I already have a casual interest. Movies, film history, film preservation and distribution, patient zero influential films, and, of course, movie "monsters" and horror/ thrillers.
Y'all give it up for Mr. Chaney.
Did you get the Universal Monsters Blu-ray set?
ReplyDeleteNot in this case. I had that already, and - hot tip - it doesn't include the Lon Chaney version of the Phantom of the Opera. It's a 1943 version with Claude Rains that, honestly, I wasn't too crazy about.
ReplyDeleteSo, hint - it may be something more Lon Chaney related.
