Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “I’m going with the Galaxy Express 999 Complete Collection for my anime pick this week. Nothing else quite grabs me.” Blaine says, “Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein may be the best movie those comedians ever made. I’m also interested in the Alec Guinness set, which contains well regarded movies I haven’t gotten around to watching yet.”
I see another Marx Brothers movie — I wonder if we’re getting weekly Marx Brothers releases.
As much as I love those movies, I wonder about releasing movies that are pretty close to 100 years old on blu-ray. Unless someone found a _pristine_ negative or something, I don’t think you can clean those movies up enough. Let alone all the gaps and cuts.
I do have a DVD collection of all their movies and I don’t think there’s a reason to “upgrade”.
There aren’t many Thanksgiving movies, and Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is probably the best (and the best John Hughes movie, IMHO). It’s also where the title of the John Candy documentary comes from, “I Like Me”. If you haven’t watched it, do it. Good flick for this holiday weekend.
