Last week I got a new batch of Blu-rays. As you can see there were a couple David Lynch films in the bunch. I've been rewatching Twin Peaks the Return and I have been listening to the Pure Cinema podcast talk through the Lynch Filmography and so I am finally getting around to buying some of these films on Blu-ray. I've had them digitally for a long time, but i wanted to get proper physical copies. I also got a film noir set and "Son Of Paleface" a Bob Hope film I have not seen yet. I got this noire set because I was looking to pick up Gun Crazy. I found this set which also had "The Setup" in it and that is a film I have been wanting to rewatch. When I first moved to Los Angeles in 1997, I discovered The American Cinematheque. At that point there had not restored the Egyptian theater and were running screening out of Raleigh studios if I remember correctly. I could be wrong about that, it was so long ago. What I remember is that it was in a relatively small screening room on a small lot and I felt like I had discovered something really cool. The first thing I ever went and saw was "The Setup" which was a movie I had never seen before. I really liked it and I was so happy to be living in a city where there were things like this where you could go see old movies on the big screen. Needless to say, I have some good films lined up for the weeks to come. This is something I saw today.
