Re: Taxi Driver - 4/5/11
That's kinda weird that they credit Criterion for the laserdisc on the back. Not that it isn't deserved or appropriate, I just don't think it was done on other cases where their supplements wound up on non-Criterion discs. I wonder if Criterion insisted on that as part of the licensing agreement.

Has anyone watched Taxi Driver on AMC this week, will the bluray look better than it does on AMC HD?

I never bought the 2-Disc SE, so I'll be happy to get rid of the '99 DVD.

Well, this is why I find myself buying more and more Sony catalog titles. If it came from film, the Sony BD usually looks like film. Keep' em coming, Sony. Can't wait for Das Boot in June.

Wal-Mart's gonna have it for $13. I just scanned one tonight.
To be honest, the set should be at LEAST $25. It's very reminiscent of the Deer Hunter/Sting/Vertigo, etc. sets that Universal put out that have the thick "cardboard" digipacks (it's a double-wide spine as well). And the 5 1/4 x 6 1/2 inch lobby cards are really nice as well as the beautiful artwork inside and outside the case.
It's most definitely a steal at the price it is!

It can be taken off by just peeling it off and taking that rubber glue off the case (the glue comes off with the paper when I tried peeling it off), or you'll be able to leave it on. The bottom of the sheet doesn't really flap around when you pick up the case, so you needn't worry about it folding accidentally when putting down the case.
I'd post pics, but my camera's broken.

What strange packaging. Wished Sony went with just a digipak of some sort for this release.
