Just found out my favorite Jarmusch movie (not his best, but definitely his most enjoyable to me) will be getting the full-blown fuck awesome collectable treatment when the Criterion Collection remasters and re-releases it in a deluxe edition this summer.
Me, I'm stoked. Such a great movie. Deserves way better than the shit, "might as well be VHS" release that's out now.

It's best to ignore the specifics of a Beej post and go for the general feel.

What's important is that it's authentic.
"According to the most sophisticated music DNA-mapping software on the Earth Internet, if you go six degrees away from Phil Collins, it's Phil Collins. I can't even begin to describe how mathematically terrifying and impossible that is, but if I had to try, I'd say it's like the number flerp getting raped by an eight."

I meant the transfer is pretty bad and it has no extras.

Hey, I hear the South African Rand is a valid currency in Zimbabwe these days.
Nothing new at all on the sound of LC, should've called it "The Old Testament". The word testament is alleged to be derived from the latin word "testes" so it's all just a load of bollocks really! - Marky Dread 2009
