  1. According to the updated beauty shots, each of the individual full slips is going to contain a monolith with a base. Do these monoliths look strikingly similar to the one that is in the Manta Lab one-click that just came to my door (and a good many of your doors, too)?  


    Also, anybody wanna speculate what the deal is with the “lunar base soundbar”? I can’t imagine that this little thingy or whatever it is would ever take the place of my surround sound system, but you never know…

  2. There's also a new 22-disc set (Blu-ray only) that surveys Wim Wenders' entire career issued by Curzon. It includes three posters and 5 Polaroid photographs from Wenders' personal collection. The box housing the set is about the same size as the recent Shawscope editions from Arrow Academy. (NOTE: this larger set only contains the standard Blu-ray disc of WINGS OF DESIRE, but I included the 4K steelbook of it for size reference).

  3. Welcome to the group, @Film Noir Lover! What a great username--Film Noir (and proto-Noir & neo-Noir) is my favorite type/genre of film. I'm always looking for gems and diamonds in the rough I've not seen. I compiled a list of my favorites recently for a member and I'd love to have someone add their favorites.
