• OK, so my 2007 movie retrospective list is taking a bit longer than promised. Raise your hands, all that are surprised. Like things of this nature often do, it’s taking more time than expected.
• One of the reasons it’s so behind schedule is actually related to it. I’ve been spending bunches of time pouring through the glorious recent HD-DVD release of the 2 disc special edition of David Fincher’s Zodiac. I’ve actually adjusted the movie up near the top of my list for the year. The more times I watch it, the more I love it. As of this evening, I’ve gone through every last bit of material on this great new special edition release. That includes both commentaries (totaling more than 5 hours) and the behind-the-scenes and factual documentaries. It’s all fantastic material. I can’t recommend the release more. And if you don’t have HD-DVD capability, you can just pick up the standard DVD special edition release. Paramount gets credit for having all but one small special feature on the HD-DVD in full HD quality (something Paramount in particular is good at doing). David Prior, who has produced previous special edition DVD releases of Fincher’s films, comes through yet again.
• Keeping the posting brief this time. More fun to be posted soon…
