LOL ā¦ and you know what that means 
It also features lost footage of Silence giving Loco a yellow snowcone as a prank, thus justifying his death.

Interested to see what Alex Coxās take is on this yellow snowcone scene
The boisterous shenanigans left on screen in The Great Silence are almost on par with the hilarious outtake reel!
āAn extraordinary sequence, Corbucciās finest work. My opinion is a fact, thank you and good nightā

Isnāt the yellow snow a metaphor for the rise of fascism ā¦ or a comment on the appalling lack of plumbing in the Colorado mountains circa 1870s ???

āI stumbled upon some of this yellowy goodness when location scouting for Straight to Hell. I strategically placed it several scenes as a nod to Corbucci scholarsā

Suppose this is a must buy for me, hopefully in time for winter snow watching

The Blu-ray looks good, but that comparison of the colors is giving me Star Wars vibes.

The colors are quite different, but Iāll probably prefer the more natural colors of the blu ray. As long as there isnāt a lot of DNR and such filtering, thatās the main issue I have with new transfers.

I recorded movies4menās airing out of curiosity. Absurd censorship to the point of them rating it a PG. Canāt they just, air it at night?
I really wanted to tweet abuse at them but I donāt think they have an official Twitter

Yep ā¦ very frustrating watching any of their daytime output - āBullet for the Generalā is even worse.
Perhaps they should rename themselves movies4-littleboys

The Blu looks really great. I have bought it but havenāt got round to watching it yet, itās nice to know my money was probably well spent in advance.

Yes, I ordered it shortly after posting as I had a coupon which made it very cheap, and this is one of my all time favorites. Iām very happy that it received proper treatment and is not a bullshit release, which I was kind of expecting given the quality of all previous releases.
Iām also looking forward to the Cox commentary. I know he isnāt well respected around here, but I still have a lot of appreciation for him & his work. I even like his newer stuff, although I havenāt gotten round to watching the latest Tombstone-Rashomon or Bill the Galactic Hero

Iāve got a lot of time for Cox too. I know he made some errors in his book but I still find it a very enjoyable read and I always love watching him talking about other directors and their films on DVD extras. Iām also looking forward to his contributions to the new Blu.

I actually think he is very well-respected around here, there have just been some recent critical remarks, thatās all.
