Well, I finally found time to speculatively tint Lubitsch's THE OYSTER PRINCESS (1919).

The Warner Archive Blu-ray of 7 Women (1965) comes out today, so I interviewed John Ford biographer Joseph McBride about his personal history with this much maligned masterpiece + the 6 minutes of missing footage he is seeking to restore: oldnew.substack.com/p/ford-focus...

More details here on the special features which includes a new essay on the film by me:

Here's a find: an enterprising YouTuber stitched together missing bits from this excellent Leo McCarey 1-reeler THE RAT'S KNUCKLES for a more or less complete version. No upscaling or any similar hanky panky. Must watch til end!

Kermit is so stoked about Arrow's new 4k release of Lucio Fulci's ZOMBIE FLESH EATERS. I'm super proud to have an essay in the booklet. It's about finding pleasure in Fulci's aesthetic representations of gore. I think it's one of the best things I've ever written. Hope y'all love the set.
Kermit, god's favorite orange tuxedo cat is posing with a giant 4k boxed set of Lucio Fulci's ZOMBIE FLESH EATERS, which features the original VHS cover art as a siip-cover option. Kermit is lying on a table and he is probably thinking, "why does she think I am a model?". In the background a dvd case is visible, and to the right, an open-faced window is somewhat visible. the booklet for Lucio Fulci's ZOMBIE FLESH EATERS. On the left, an image from the film can be seen featuring a large bald man with blood trickling down his mouth, and onto a ravaged article of clothing. His eyes are closed and he seems more dead because of it. To the right is a page of words with the title "THE ECSTASY OF DYING" by Willow Maclay

passion chef d'oeuvre tardif de John Ford
COMING TO BLU-RAY DISC ON AUGUST 26th from THE WARNER ARCHIVE COLLECTION! New 2025 1080p HD master from 4K scan of the original camera negative John Ford’s “SEVEN WOMEN” (1966) BD-50 Running Time: 87 Minutes COLOR Aspect Ratio: 16x9 2.35:1 Letterbox Audio Specs DTS-HD MA 2.0 Mono NOT RATED Subtitles: ENGLISH SDH Cast: Anne Bancroft, Sue Lyon, Margaret Leighton, Flora Robson Directed by John Ford SPECIAL FEATURES: Oscar®-winning M-G-M cartoon “THE DOT AND THE LINE” (HD), Original Theatrical Trailer In the final film of an illustrious career that spanned nearly five decades, director John Ford breaks his old mold: famed for making westerns, he directed an “eastern”; accredited as a “man’s man” director, he created a film that starred not one, but a septet of women; and finally, known for big, outdoor films, he keeps the action confined within the walls of an isolated mission in China, circa 1935. Anne Bancroft is superb as a tough, realistic, cynical doctor who locks horns with the domineering head of the mission (Margaret Leighton), a woman of strict moral values. But when their ordered world is shattered by invading bandits, gallantry, courage and sacrifice – traits common to all Ford films- rise to the surface in a most startling fashion. Yes, Seven Women is a departure. But in true John Ford fashion, it explodes with the same dramatic truth and visual intensity that have forever enshrined him as one of the cinema’s true poets.

I stopped by @damnfoolcrusade.bsky.social's Youtube channel to discuss the new Arrow 4k releases of Sergio Leone's DOLLARS trilogy. There's nobody better than Spencer in the home video technical criticism space, and we had a terrific conversation.
