Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “I’m going with Alfred Hitchcock: The Ultimate Collection, which is much like the Masterpiece Collection I already own, but includes all of his TV work included under his brand. Since the legal releases of such work appear to have stalled with the sixth season of his first show, this may be the only way I’ll ever get my hands on them.” Alex says, “If you have a kid, and you don’t already own My Neighbour Totoro, you should really pick this up.”

  1. I’m with ‘Lex – Spider-Man: Homecoming is the clear pick of the week. I guess it’s so clear that there’s really no need to even mention it (;

    I will say I really enjoyed Barry Lyndon. I’m not sure if it was the Kubrick movie I left for last (because it’s about 3 months long), but it was one of the last I watched. If you have the attention span, I highly recommend it.

    If you have not read Howl’s Moving Castle, you need to. It is a phenomenal book, and the movie is…. ugh. Changing the plot and animefying the hell out of everything, sure. But the movie loses some of the best plot points the book has, as well as the self-aware whimsy .

    The book was written by Diana Wynne Jones, and if you don’t know who she is, you should be aware that she’s the person who inspired J. K. Rowling (and many others) to start writing. She is absolutely one of the greatest fantasy writers.
