This isn't so bad, I have most of the movies. The books though I don't have any. The only one I've seen is the "Profondo Argento" one at my local comic book shop.

Yes, I own most of these also (thankfully), but still really need to see sleepless aswell as watch and get my hands on the releases of The Five Days Of Milan aswell as Do You Like Hitchcock? Great work again jarv, this is badass. I'll have to start looking in to some of these books.

"Mondo Argento" by Alan Jones is great too, for all it's glossy awesomness. Good look getting ahold of that one, though. I got it from FantaCo, shortly before they went out of business, not long after it was first published back in 1996. Midnight Media did a very limited run and they all sold out within months of publication. It's quite possible that most of it's contents were included in Jones' "Profondo Argento", which is still available from FAB Press and Amazon, but I'm not entirely sure how much of the original book may have been reproduced, if any of it at all, since I have yet to procure my own personal copy of "Profondo".

I'm tempted to double dip on that Opera two-disc. But there are other Argento's I need to pick up probably before that.
Are the Special Features in English on that? I was so pissed when I sat down to watch the making of and it was in Italian. I recognized a couple things but not enough to understand or write on it. And god damn Tenebre is so expensive. I could've sworn it was like 20 bucks a couple months ago. |
