each episode will have all the original '60s music in it too, the licensing of which had previously been an issue that had prevented a full DVD release. I've also read that although the series is currently available from some streaming providers like NetFlix, the episodes you stream have quite a lot of the original '60s music removed and sound-a-like tracks slotted in as a replacement. This DVD release will, as I understand it, have all the original '60s hits in each episode, just as they were on initial broadcast. Now if they'd just work out a similar arrangement for WKRP in Cincinnati... Cei-U! I summon Dr. Johnny FEVAH!

I missed the announcement where Rome traded the Coliseum to Pisa for the Leaning Tower.

I missed the announcement where Rome traded the Coliseum to Pisa for the Leaning Tower. I think they also got an aqueduct to be named later.

About The Wonder Years. Wikipedia says, "The series depicts the social and family life of a boy in a typical American suburb from 1968 to 1973, covering his ages of 12 through 17." The boy "...graduates from high school in 1974."
I turned 12 in 1968 and graduated high school in 1974, so the series is about my generation. I remember watching it and thinking that it felt right - they captured what it was like at that age at that time. Kevin lived in a nicer neighborhood than I did, but I knew people like him.

I agree. It was a weirdly unbalanced film that tried too hard to be about something at first, and then tried to make up with it via excessive fluff at the climax. I didn't enjoy the film; I just note that it tried to be about something. Sounds like I need to see Winter Soldier. Ben Kingsley's Mandarin hoax thing, I think I really would have preferred the movie the trailers teased at, that being the Mandarin being a legitimate threat and powerful terrorist. I enjoyed the joke for what it was, but I think I would have liked the straight version better You'll always have the Hail to The King short...

Watched Oculus yesterday. Dan, have you seen this? I was certain there was a twist coming that never materialized. I'm not surprised it was originally a short. It felt like an idea stretched too thin.

Netflix has it coming out on, I believe, 9/2. Must already be available for sale or from Redbox, though, because I was inspired to check last night when I saw the review thread for it pop back up in the Classic Horror Film Board's "Current Films" forum (site of 99 percent of my activity there).
Finished watching A Field in England a couple of days ago & listening to the commentary (something I don't bother with that all that often) this morning. Truly weird film, but extremely rewarding, IMHO. I was sort of reminded of a 17th-century inside-out Blair Witch Project crossbred with Winstanley, if that makes any sense (which it won't to anyone who hasn't seen it, & even then probably not). One scene in particular, about midway through, is worth the price of admission & then some, IMHO.

I may need to give A Field in England another shot. I tried watching it a couple months ago, but got sidetracked.
If/when you watch Oculus I'd love to hear your thoughts.

The extremely mixed reviews for Field made me put off watching it for a few weeks. I should've known I'd love it, though, considering that I'm apparently one of about two dozen people in existence who loved the roundly panned Twixt & Gallowwalkers last year.
