Yeah, I could see how Roeg is a bit of an aquired taste. I’ve seen “Don’t Look Now” (a truly scary film), but that’s about it (I may have seen another but don’t remember). Also a while ago you guys mentioned you finished reading both “The Road” and Joe Penhall’s screenplay. “The Road” was one of my favorite books in the last few years, so I’m dying to know, how was it? Is it a faithful adaptation?

Rent “The Man Who Fell To Earth” and see if you like it. I think it’s a wonderfully, strange, jagged and fragmented film. Very odd, but very great. Bowie is the perfect out-of-place alien. Nicolas Roeg rules, but a bit of an acquired taste.

I’ve been waiting forever for this release. Added bonus that it’s on Blu-ray. I’m looking to expand my Criterion Collection, mine as well start buying the Blu-ray, and I saw you reccomend “The Man Who Fell to Earth”. I love Bowie, he is my favorite musician, but I am not sure of his acting talents (I’ve only seen him in “The Prestige” and *sigh* “Labyrinth”). Since I have heard such mixed reviews for the movie, what makes it worth picking up on Criterion Blu (renting is probably out of the option, because Blockbuster has few Criterion, let alone Blu-ray)? Thanks in advance.
