Hello, I’m Brad and I teach high school English and Film.
I run truegore.com a place for rare strange films from everywhere
I also try to publish writings on film and have had some success.
One of the nicest things about Blu-Ray is capacity; therefore, it would be nice to see a company like Criterion put out director collections on one blu-ray disc. And re-releasing Walkabout and 400 Blows on Blu-Ray is great only if the disc is packed with more extras than the original releases. I can see Walkabout looking great in hi-def, but 400 Blows wouldn’t bring that much to the LCD screen. Companies really need to utilize capacity if they want Blu-Ray to grow.
For Example: Miramax released Kill Bill 1 and 2 on 2 separate Blu-Ray discs. Why is this necessary? More money for the distributor. Well, I’m not buying it knowing that they could have easily fit both movies on one disc with plenty of room for standard extras. Bologna.

I HATE The Departed. The stupid rat metaphor at the end was the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Yes, that is the single reason why I hated it.

The first season of Carnivale was amazing
I really like HBO’s True Blood
I thought it would be terrible…but the characters are strong and it works for me. Some may disagree because it is a bit cheesy at times.

I started watching Gilmore Girls with my wife, and the first 4 seasons move like a Howard Hawks film, especially the dialogue.
