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.

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.

No finis to the film unless
The ending is your own.
Turn off the lights, remind
The operator of his union card:
Sit forward, let the screen reveal
Your heritage, the logic of your destiny.
