Waiting

Feeling a bit like old Ringo up here, in this lovely caricature I just found in this blog. I explain: I became tired of waiting for reviews to come out about the new Lisztomania DVD (so far, the only one I was able to find was this one over here by DVD Outsider and even that one seems to be misleading because it fails to mention the inclusion of the audio commentary which leads me to believe that the review copy they were sent in was incomplete), so I dutifully went and ordered the DVD myself.

Right now, I'm just waiting for it to arrive at my doorstep and be sure that as soon as I'm able to view it, I will tell you all you need to know about how it sounds and looks (we all know the film is ace, right so no need to expand on that!).

Until then!

Lisztomania DVD streets today!

It's finally out today! The waiting is over! So go out and get it! I know I will.

Expect some reviews in the coming days. Be sure that I shall be posting every single one that I can find! See you all soon.

Lisztomania DVD details!

Hooray! Digital Classics has spilled the beans over at the Ken Russell Discussion Forum regarding the details of the forthcoming DVD! And here they are, directly from the lion's mouth:

The DVD will be released in an anamorphic transfer (...)

The DVD bonuses include a Directors Commentary, 8 page booklet and a theatrical trailer.

Hooray! Very much looking forward to seeing the theatrical trailer as I've never managed to see it and I don't even think it was included in the laserdisc version. Bring it on!

Ken Russell has a message for you!

Yes, you read it right: Ken Russell, the director of Lisztomania, has recorded a message for all of us regarding the upcoming release of the DVD and you can listen to it in the Amazon UK page selling it! Just follow this link.

May can't come soon enough!

One Born Every Minute

Like the above title says, they are indeed born one every minute, I'm sure. Blogs, I mean. Me and some friends of mine have started one strictly cinema based. It's called Maus da Fita, which roughly translates into english as Bad Guys. Here's the link, if you'd like to check it out.

Take care and I see you soon (don't worry, I'm not leaving this one behind! I heart Ringo forever!).

Have one on me!

Hope you had a great Easter weekend. Ringo sure did, by the looks on his face. Cheers!

Lisztomania Promo Trailer

In anticipation of the soon-to-be released DVD for Lisztomania, Digital Classics have put together a trailer promoting it. I strongly suggest you watch it because only then you'll begin to understand the true nature of this particular beast. One to be experienced, that's for sure.

We're now less than one month away from its street date and I'm practically counting down the days, such is my excitement! From what I've heard, the A/V quality of the DVD really is outstanding but so far, no confirmation about the Russell commentary has surfaced. Let's really hope it does materialize. See you soon.
