...extras I've extolled; a Criterion disc without all the cool Easter eggs is missing something... essential. But the box is a testament not to Criterion but to Janus; indeed, to serious lovers of serious films. As such, there's not a richer gift (if you happen to be rich) for someone ready to experience the wonders of movies beyond Hollywood than this sumptuous...
...there is a world that includes Vertigo, Notorious, Psycho and Marnie, those people will be wrong. All the same, Hitchcock's lustrous American debut, the film David O. Selznick tempted him across the Atlantic to do, is a pleasure no sane person refuses. And Criterion's package is particularly rich with extras. In addition to footage from the 1941 Academy Award ceremony, where Rebecca picked up Oscars for Best Picture and Cinematography, the disc's extras include three one-hour radio adaptations, among them one by Orson Welles, and footage of the screen tests for Joan Fontaine...
...central front in the Cold War, traumatized by Naziism and defeat, with plenty of families and loyalties divided between East and West, Germany was a target-rich environment for espionage.

...decade after communism's collapse, Latin American voters began to express their anger at the failure of Washington-backed capitalist reforms and free trade agreements to narrow the epic gap between rich and poor in the region. That backlash has helped Ortega, 60, who insists his politics are more moderate today - he is widely viewed as more of a cynical opportunist than a radical Marxist - to take advantage of a divisive feud inside Montealegre's Liberal Constitutionalist Party that ended up splitting its vote this year. As Ortega's poll numbers climbed, the Bush Administration went into panic mode, publicly...
...conceptualizing the whole thing and organizing its production? AM: Conceptualizing the minis has been great! Since you don’t have to produce as much material, you can do slightly more nuanced topics than a regular issue, focusing on slightly narrower topics such as cigarettes, porn, Wikipedia and rich people. Basically what I’m saying is, get ready for a soon-to-be-released mini about 16th Century Italian pottery. Doordropped: Do you think the minis are more ephemeral than the bigs? Does that run counter to the Lampoon’s dedication to timeless humor...
