I know that it's a favorite of Max's. We keep track of movies people request, so I'll be sure to mark it down. Hi Jason, We don’t currently have any plans to, but it’s a definite possibility.

This commentary might either be the best thing ever or the worst thing ever. I do like the idea of Max's ever growing exasperated sighs as nothing continue to bloody happen for the entire runtime. Either X-FILES movie: I think the second one would be the best for a commentary because that entire movie is one giant "What the hell were they thinking?! You finally get to make another X-FILES movie and you make THAT?!" IT! THE TERROR FROM BEYOND SPACE: High quality 50s B-movie. Clearly the main influence for ALIEN. Only 70 minutes long.

I don't know why but that story about your friend passing out really cracked me up. BTW, there's a deleted scene that explains McClane's shirt colour change. It's on the 2-Disc DVD, don't know if it's on the Blu-ray. Max really is completely and entirely without joy, isn’t he?

The closest one to the ideal of the original series to explore new worlds and seek out new planets and new civilisations. It's an adventure exploration film, not an action one. The most cinematic. Goldsmith's score is one of the ten best ever. Hearing Horner's for II after this is like listening to a one-man band busker in a park. The best Trek.

Although I don't quite understand why it is rated so highly above the rest of Ozu films.. I would rate LATE SPRING above it. THE SEARCHERS is not racist. The main character is but the film doesn't endorse or support his action. At the end of the film he leaves his family knowing he is a relic that doesn't belong.

I found it interesting that you guys spent more time discussing what didn't work about the film than what did. I had the exact same reaction (I, too, really enjoyed the movie overall). I suppose with great expectations come harsher critiques, but still. Anyway, if you're interested in further criticism of a pretty great movie, I wrote about the 25 problems (major and minor) I had with the movie. http://tmblr.co/ZC-AYwQjJTuw You might enjoy it. Great stuff as always. Mike + Max,
