      I get it and feel the same way about Joker but I actually think Schumacher showed a surprisingly deft touch here. IMHO he depicted D-Fens as a really messed up character that was in fact the bad guy, despite his protestations at being labeled as such. D-Fens used his “not economically viable” argument to cover the deeper issues at play. It’s a film that I’ve learned to appreciate more as time goes on. I often think about how poorly Unhinged depicted a similar type of character despite Russel Crowe doing all he could in that part. Douglas was incredibly skillful in FD - it might be one of his best acting jobs to date. Still, I understand and respect your opinion.

    Random question - does the case have anything printed on the spine? It's odd that all the text information for this is only on the slipcover ... was wondering if the spine was the same way

    • @VFRZen
      @VFRZen 4 місяці тому

      You are correct. The DVD case has no info apart from the title on the spine. The sleeve is reversible tho only has the pig on the front and a still photo from the film on the back and another still photo from the film on the back of the sleeve. Only the slipcase has the film credit deets, a short description of the film, and a listing of the sole special feature (the Greenaway documentary)

    • @VFRZen

      I haven’t seen the combo disc but I did watch the original flick on VHS. I’m not sure this Steelbook release is based on any OCN scan but the AQ and PQ look solid and certainly sufficient for a Grindhouse flick. I poked around BluRay.com and High Def Digest and it appears to be the same 2k scan found on the combo release but on a single BD50 disc.

    Thank you for your excellent video. I also absolutely love this film and was unaware of this new release which I will certainly acquire. John Sayles is an amazing talent which is obvious once you've seen this film. What an amazing story and cast (I developed a bit of a crush on Elizabeth Pena after seeing this. It's heartbreaking she's no longer with us.). I also saw this in the theater when it was released and maybe only one other time on video. I am long overdue in seeing it again. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Please keep up the great work! 😊

    • @VFRZen
      @VFRZen 7 місяців тому

      Thanks for the kind words 👍🏻 And Sayles is a beast of a filmmaker that never seems to garner the same attention or respect that peers like Spike Lee, Jim Jarmusch, and Steven Soderbergh so often get. He most definitely deserves to be mentioned with them and is arguably perhaps even the best of the bunch.

    • @VFRZen
      @VFRZen 8 місяців тому

      I have not seen the BluRay release but according to BluRay.com this 4K disc is the way to go. It’s also got about an hour of new supplements-including new interviews with Chazz and De Niro. I would say if you don’t already own it or you only have the standard def DVD then the 4k is the way to go. If you already own the earlier BD disc and are happy with it then you might not need to upgrade. I didn’t own a physical release of this film so it was an easy choice for me since I absolutely love the flick.
