Shinichiro Watanabe’s Closet Picks
-
The showrunner of #CowboyBebop visits the Closet to pick some of his most influential films.

I think we all saw Bruce Lee coming. But he also recommends Tati. I know next to nothing about Tati, but I am allured by his description here [sometimes you want a clown, but sometime you want comedy the way it happens in real life].

@dtm I had a #criterion #cav #laserdisc copy of Lawrence of Arabia. I imagined at the time that it would be glorious on a setup with higher def as I had an Sony SD TV at the time.

I later bought a premium version of the movie on DVD, and saw it using a 1080p TV. Better, but I knew that it still had more to give in terms of detail.

I then saw this movie at the Cinerama Dome with a newly restored 70mm print, Yeah, the movie had a lot more to give. It was glorious. And epic. The mirage scene where Peter O'Toole and guide getting water shifting to watching Omar Sharif arrive is breathtaking on a large screen with a true 2:20 aspect ratio. And there are other moments like that as well.

The #thx movies being produced today mimic the level of detail, but movies today are rarely shot with the same sense of scale baked in.

Dies ist eine Übung: der König der letzten Tage* #ChristophWalz steckt im #Criterion-Kammerl fest und ›muss‹ sich Lieblingssachen aussuchen.

* Hab den Herrn Waltz als Jan van Leiden 1993 für mich entdeckt, weil ich schon als Jung-Twen ein verdammter Hyper-Hippster war.

the 2013 film "Computer Chess" has a lot to say about 2026. This film should be in the Criterion Collection, it is that important.

Somehow, almost nobody has ever seen it.
